Of disorder and lawless violence because in II re-
mains their only chance. Their arguments have
long since been riddled through and through, and

the devil Of riot and mob law in the community,
hoping by that means TO terrorize the peaceable

NewYork City and State and Chicago and Illinois.
This ominous outlook is the only thing which the
citizens must prepare against"
