Coxev's Crowd of Tranps.

5. CoXey alleges he intends to lead to
Washington to induce congress to author
izo an issue Of many millions Of dollars Of
fat money is advertised to start from an
Ohio town tomorrow. Maj Mckinley,
the governor of Ohio, in an interview
published in our dispatches yesterday.
expressed some doubts about CoXcy hay
ing any such a crowd of tramps in sight.
He declared, however, that if any motley
gathering undertook to prey upon the
farmers along their proposed route, while
in Ohio, they would be dealt with as
Migrants and thieves.
CoXey's idea seems to be that the people
will gladly feed his army of tramps.
That shows that the man is either a
lunatic or a dishonest agitator in search
of notoriety. The people are much more
likely to meet them with shot guns than
with bread and meat
1t is nonsense to say that Coxey or
those who are expected to follow him are
both sane and sincere. Those Of them
who have sense enough to think intelH-
gently are vicious and lawless, and mean
to make trouble if they can
do so without danger TO
themselves. The others are idle
vagabonds who have no interest in
Coxey's scheme other than a desire for
amusement and hope to get something
to eat without working for it. No law
abiding, self respecting citizen will be
found in CoXey's crowd
Coxcy pretends to believe that congress
will make an appropriation for the trans
portation of his tramps to their homes
when they are ready to leave Washing
ton. Those of them who are caught arc
much more likely to he put in Jail before
they reach Washington.
