them" "InterfSfen6e with you not to be
tolerated" Practically suspending the writ
OF naoeas corpus and threatening the
justices OF state courts and sheriffs with
arbitrary arrest without process for dis
charging what may be their sworn duties.
You took occasion a few weeks ago, in
Judicial proceeding fp your court, to which
neither myself nor any member of the state
administrator was party, to denounce
the present state administration as COM
posed of "imbeciles and anarchists" The
events upon which you commented have
passed into history, and the state admins
tration can well abide the verdict which the
future will pass upon the acts criticised.
Without claiming that the state admins
tratlon mas made no mistakes, it has faith
fully attempted to maintain law and order
and to protect the lives and liberties of the
people. 1t has sought to prevent sheriffs
from organizing private armies to overawe
the people 1t has sought to prevent an
! archy, and permit me to say the most dan
| gerous anarchy in the State of Colorado
has been that Of the United States court in
Denver, which has allowed the United
States marshal to enlist a private army to
suppress alleged state troubles, of which
neither the county or state authorities has
any notice, and has called into active ser
vice United States troops without request
Of or notice to the governor of the state,
and is Wagtng an actual war in Colorado,
without any declaration thereof by the
United States or notice or knowledge there
or by the state authorities, and utterly in
violation of law.
When it was deemed necessary to call
out military force the state administration
called out the national guard, the regular
citizen soldiery, whose loyalty to law and
order cannot be questioned.
In strong contrast with this action of
the state administration is the conduct of
the United States marshal, acting under
the immediate supervision of the United
States circuit court at Denver.
l quote from the Rocky Mountain News
of Monday, July 2 as follows
Il have been forced" said the United
States marshal ito pick up all kinds of
men so far. Little as l have seen what
kind OF men some of them are, I am going
to be more careful hereafter, and will en-
gage only
MEN WHO WILL FIGHT
l don't care whether they are horse thieves,
hoboes or thugs, just so they will fight
when it is necessary and the judge of
this United States circuit goes out of his
way in decision to maliciousy and falsely
charge the present administration with
anarchy.
AS governor of the state Of Colorado 1
enter my most vigorous protest against this
invasion of the civil rights of the people
of this state by the United States court
at Denver and it's marshal. Very respect
fully, DAVID H. WAITE.
Governor of Colorado
If Cleveland is right-if these acts
are not reasonable usurpations, for
which he should be impeached then
our whole form Of government is
swept away and radical revolution
has been accomplished. State govern
ment is at an end, and a centralized
power possess unlimited control of
every citizen of the country, despite
all the provisions of the constitution.
For instance, the constitution of the
United States says, Cart. w, Amend
1882.
'"The right Of the people to be secure
in their persons, houses, papers and
effects, against unreasonable searches
and seizures, shall not be violated,
and no warrant shall issue, but upon
probable cause, supported by oath or
affirmation, and particularly describ-
ing the place to be searched and the
persons or things to be seized"
And yet, in the face of all this, we
find United States Marshal. of
Colorado, directing his deputies to
make arrests withontwarrants; and to
arrest men for simply advising others,
Off the railroad property, not to work
for the railroads; and to arrest the
local authorities, the governor, judges,
constables, etc, who may interfere
Such high-handed proceedings were
never before heard of in the history
of this country.
1t almost looks as if President
Cleveland and Attorney General
Olney, working in the interest of the
corporations, were determined to pre-
clpltate civil war, effect a physical, as
we'll as a political revolution: and
overthrow free institutions forever.
Gov. Altgeld speaks thus of Olney:
SPRINGFIELD, ILL, July Gov. Alt
geld, upon. being shown Attorney General
Olneys reference to his message and asked
what he had to say about it, replied: 1.-THE
country may be doing Mr.. Olney an inius-
tice, but the impression has in some way
become rooted, that he is the especial rep
resentative of the great trusts and monop-
olies of the country that have been plumber
ing the public and are trying to use the
government as a convenience. The impress
sion also prevails that it is he who as
member of the cabinet is urging the presi-
dent into this new departure of having the
federal government interfere in labor trou-
bles and assist Mr.. Olneys clients; in
snort that he is trying to make a kind of
convenience out of the government for his
clients.
Illinois never heard of Mr.. Olney until
Mr. Cleveland introduced him. Illinois had
struggled along for nearly century with
out his aid and by the grace of God she
Will endeavor to get along without him
in the future. AS for the law that is in
volved [ have said all wish on that SUBJ
ject to the president, and do not care to
discuss it through the newspapers with Mr..
Olney."
The worst of all this unhappy bust
ness is that it throws cloud of doubt
over the legal merits of the contest
with the workmen; and gives the tur
bulent an excuse to resort to violence:
and therein lies a deadly danger.
With violence on one side and uncon
stitutional usurpations what are to
expect? ID

If Ignatius Donnelly's plan is adopt
