Outside of the Populists President
Cleveland's action in regard to the recent
iawless outbreaks has been heartily sup
ported by both Democrats and Repub-
licans. Within and without congress, by
both the press and the pulpit. When
Popaliaf Senators Kyle and PETER under
tssK to defend the lawless action OF the
chicagostfikers they were sternly rebuked
by RepnbfioAn Senator Davis from Minne-
sofa, By axeConEederate Gen. Gordon,
United States senator from Georgia; by
exCopf ederate unitsd States senator
Daniel. of Virginia Ex-Presidsnt Har-
rison, Unton soldier and a strong law
yer. warmly approved the action Of Presi-
denk Cleveland IN ordering troops into
Illinois in adva nee OF any call from the
governor Of that state. The senate of the
United States voted Petersen down and
adopted a Straightforward, unqualified
Endorsement OF tse presidents course in
maintaining the public peace and rebuk-
ing she defiance of the courts Of the United
States and their processes. With the ex-
ception of the Popuiists the whole senate,
without distinction Of party, approved the
movement of the Federal arm Of power
within its constitutional limitations
Republican Senator Davis, of Minnesota.
