Mr.. Vest deprecated the Introduction
of resolutions on lat subject. Ii seem

had been treated like all other persons.
II they observed the avs they would
be. as a matter OF course, not molested
by the National. State. or municipal au-
thorities; and IL they violated the laws

10 the Capitol and violated the law he
should expect them TO be punished. That
they had a right TO come was so plain
and unquestioned that any supposition
in regard TO It was a reflection on the
Intelligence and patriotism Of the people
Of the whole country. There was a
statement In the preamble as to "un-
armed. law-abiding, and peacefully-dls-
posed. but unemployed citizens Of the
United States" If the Senator (Aiien)

dissent from any such proposition. Those
who had violated the avs would have

Mr.. w~oLcorr's ATHiN PROTEST.
ar. wolcott Rep.. COLI said: I am at
G loss 10 kno the purpose. of the intro
duction OF this resolution. which changes
no existing law, but seems TO extend a
cringing invitation 10 some thousands

ire preparing 10 invade this capital.
some peaceably and on foot, some by
stolen railroad trains. some by beggardy
some b. means furnished by others, and
an OF them for no useful purpose.
The encouragement that can be given 10
such an invasion-unheard Of In the his
tory Of this country-has been the utter

their duty were TO be denounced in the
Senate Of the United States. Attention
has been devoted TO them by Governors
OF certain States. who have invited them
20 make their descent upon the Capitol
Of the United states. Our own State Of
Colorado Is now suffering from such a
Governor. whose vagaries and whose an
tics have brought dlscredit and dishonor
ON our Commonwealth, injured our credit
and our standing and soiled our fair
name. / am tired Of this method OF
dealing with those demonstrations. The
times are out Of joint. What made them
60 may be attributed 10 one
cause or to another. Those Of
us from the West have attribut-
Cd it to the appreciation in the
value OF gold. Whether We be right or be
wrong. that question has now no place
in the consideration OF the welcome which
Il IS proposed 10 extend TO those s~trolling
bands which intend 10 visit WASHINGTON.
IL is a fact thet while great sympathy
has gone out, apparently. to those men.
you find the basis Of IL largely i'm the
desire OF the citizens Of States Ia see
these men safely delivered from their
borders over into the borders of another
State. so that they shall not be a charge
upon them. Many of these men are hon
est men. But they are moved by leaders
who are either insane or cranks, or
vicious"
There is a solution Of this question. II
comes not by wandering bands visiting
Washington. IL comes in the benefciency
Of mankind. which gradually. as the
times grow better. makes men more hui
name and more kind. There should be no
man suffering for food for himself or FOR
Bis family IN the broad domain Of the
United states who is willing to work
Ay solemn conviction Is that. bad as the
tines are, and worse as / fear they will
~. there Is to-day no man who sincerely
desires work for the support OF himself
Or his family who cannot either get
work or get bread for himself and his
little ones. In Colorado to-day, crushed
