see the necessity of all this trouble. All
the men want is to ride on that train
They do not expect to do anybody, or
anything any injury.
The troops arrived at Mount Sterling
at 1910 p. N. Adjutant General Howe
Immediately took command. At o'clock
the troops mounted the cars. The Gal
wins scram bled off and the train moved
away. No shots were fired
1t Was a Startling Scene
As soon as the troops formed, Sheriff
Chenowith handed Colonel Colt paper
directing him to make use of the mill
tary in cleaning the train, the men occu-
pyIug the train against the protest of
the railroad company

to further orders. You will use no more
force than is necessary to execute this
order. You will then guard the train at
this point until further orders"
Colonel Colt then addressed the men
as follows: 'Men, L have asked you kind
ing officer has surrendered and now in
the name of the state of Ohio, l order
you to leave. l notify you that l will
give you three minutes to get off the
train and if you do not do SO, L shall use
force as | am authorized to do" and as
he spoke he drew out his
watch to count the minutes. He
then started down the train
and repeated his order. which was taken
up by General Howe and other officers.
Several of the Galvinites yelled 1--WE
surrender" and began to get down, but
the mass of the men frOwned and shook
their heads. In the meantime the troops
were moving into position The ,gatling
guns were placed so as to sweep the top
Of the long string of cars. Companies .'A''
"B'' and &c" were at the head. There was
hesitation on the part of the Galvinites.
The man holding the American flag on
top of the forward car exclaimed: "I'll
stay till the lastI'
General Howe extended the time and
then Colonel Colt took Company A and
mounted the car bearing the flag. AS
soon as the officer reached the flag, the
flag bearer laughed and said: Il am a
law-abiding citizen and will obey or
ders.'
He forthwith proceeded to climb down.
1t was signal and many others fol-
lowed. There were numerous mutteR
ings, however, and there were a few
troublesome ones. The stiffness was
heavy and save for the shout of the Off
it was quiet as funeral. Every
strange sound caused start and tho
worst was expected.

OPEN LETTER TO WOLCOTT.

Written BY Superintendent of Insurance
Snider of Kansas.
Superintendent of Insurance 8. III. Sni-
der has written an open letter to Senator
Wolcott. He says:
SENATOR WoLCoTT:-Your utterances
on the floor of the United States senate
April Goth, (as given in the press dis
patches.) in your speech in opposition to
Mr.. Aliens COxey resolution, challenges
an emphatic protest from every loyal in
telligent American who reads the same.
When you say there is today no man
who sincerely desires to work for the
not obtain work, you are ignorant of
the present conditions of not only your
own state, but this whole country, or
you knowingly prevaricdte.
"The Coxey movement is not the result
of a session of Legislation, but of years
of enactments by just such individuals as
you and your plutocratic colleague, 4hy
your own words, prove yourselves to be.
"For years the people haye-petitioned
congress for relief but their written Pc
titions have been utterly ignored; now
they come, peacably. in person to ask
that their rights be respected and petit
tions considered. They form the largest
body of personal petitioners which has
ever gone to the national capital, and
though in comparison with our whole
population their number may seem
small, yet it is not, for back of them are
millions whose hearts beat in sympathy
with them; they are only the committee:
they are not men of the worst element of
the country, but are true citizens, loving
liberty, home and government of peO-
pie. S. III. SNIDER,"
Supt. of Insurance of State of Kansas.
