Kelly's army 'broke camp this afternoon and marched through the principal streets on the journey eastward. They camped tonight at tbe jChaataoqua grounds, four miles east, alongside the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. (Paul and Chicago, Hock Island and Faciflo railways. It is believed that the army will capture a freight train east on either line tt of this city. When it broke camp the state militia formed a line and prepared to escort It from the city.

The sight presented ws'one the like of which perhaps was never seen before on the face of the earth, ffba stars end striper conspicuous in the line of march. Borne of the flags were tattered and torn, corresponding fittingly with the common wealers "who acted as standard bearers. The men 'are sore (footed, dejected and scantily clothed In some instances, Qa the. line of march the streets were black with people, who cheered the comtnonwealers on their way. The members of the army are weighted down with bedding, tint buckets and sacks of provisions.

Two companies of militia, under command of Maj. Evans, brought up the, rear and followed the army to camping grounds. That the army will land in Chicago within the next forty-eight boors. Is without doubt. In an interview Gov.

Jackson says In reference to bis calling out the militia "I received first," he said, "a letter writ-I ten by General Manager Dickinson, of toe Union Pacific, stating that this army bad taken forcible and unlawful possession of one of their trains and that the army was coming this Way on that train, the posses- sloo of which tbey refused to give op. I also received eonamanications from officials of Iowa railroad companies calling my attention to. the approach of this organized body of over 1,200 men-nd calling on me for protection for their property. Sheriff Hazeri also notified me by telegram of the fact that this army was approaching and was expected to arrive here. Tbis army, that was shown by these letters and telegrams to have already committed unlawful acts, it might reasonably be supposed, would be quick to commit similar offenses upon their- arrival "here.

-Under the laws of tbis state to as these men 1 were -reported to -roe to to have done, is a very grave offense. It I formation I bad according to my best jadg- tnent. It is not an uncommon thing for the 1 militia to ba called out when tram ds orsran- ize or congregate In large bodies and take possession of trains and commit other unlawful I can cite you to repeated Instances in the history of Iowa where that very thin? has been done and. where the power the militia has been invoked where not more than 200 or 200 tramps have themselves "Under the circumstances I consider my action to have been no more tban.was dio- tated by prudence to secure the rights of person and property to this community against a danger that threatened, It I bad not called out the militia. and what was expected bad transpired, there would have been a universal condemnation at my failure to foresee what everyone hare thought lough to Mbave foreseen.

The second Los Angeles regiment of the commonweal army has fairen on bard lines. First, the fire department was called out and the command had the hose turned on them, driving tbem from the freight train they captured. Then the leaders were arrested and jailed and the army placed under guard of the shotgun brigade. Then tbey wore placed under a boycott. The bakers were not allowed to sell tbem 'a bread, nor the merchants sell them supplies.

Last night they marched in a body to the Baptist church, where Rev. Mr. JUedhurst preached a sympathetic sermon and took up a collection for them. Later a committee waited on him, pointed out that the army wag merely an organized mon of lawbreakers. He promised' ttf give tbem no more aid.

Dudley, of Inaiena, Discourses on Prrstdentls.1 Peaclbllltlee, Wash150tox April 16, Special: For several years be fore the ca palgn ot 1SS3 opened there was republican in tbe country whose viewa on the politloal situ a tion "were more generally sought than CoL Dudley, ot Indiana.

CoL Dudley is still regarded as about as shrewd ft politician as bis party contains, and his Ideas in 1894 ought to be as valuable as tbey were in 1847. He was asked today if be bas made up his mind' as to who ought to 'be tbe rt publican nominee in 1896. He replied: "Yes. I know who that man ought to be, but I bave no idea what his name is." When asked to explain this somewhat remarkable statement CcL Dudley saidf Tbe man who is nominated, for governor of New York by tbe republicans and who succeeds in carrying the state by 75,000 or more majority is tbe man to nominated- for the presidency in 1830. I firmly believe that tbe republicans of New York have tbe naming of the next president right in their own hands.

The elections held this spring show conclusively that the drift of sentiment throughout the country is towards the republican -v The state of New York is tbe pivotal state, and it will remain such'. Now If the republicans ot New York get together and name a man for the governorship is not tbe candidate of a particular faction of the party they will elect tbat ma'n, in my. by an -enormous majority. Tbe man who carries New York for tbe republicans next fail by a large majority will be the next republican mominea for the presidency and nothing can prevent bis nomination. It will not be a question of the popularity of the candidates whose names will be submitted to the convention in 1890, but simply a question of tbe man nfost available in New York state." Tbis lew ot tbe situation has struck many republican members, and there are several of tbem who? don't want anyone nominated whose election would be1 a menace to Tom Reed.

Mr. Reed bas more members following bitstandard in tbe campaign for the presidency than any other three candidates who are likely to appear before the presidential Congressman Belden, who is the reo-ogoized political leader of tba York republicans on tbe floor of the bouse, was again, asked for his views on tbe New York situation today. Mr." Belden said "I adhere to tbe opinion that tbe man to nominate is one who is not identified with either faction. A comparatively young man, and one who has the respect and confidence of everyone who knows him. With such a man at tne head of the state ticket in New, York this fail, we can certainly elect our governor." It has been suggested.

Mr. Belden; that your choice -woold be EUhu Root, if yon bad the naming of tb ccwdii'iuef governor. Is tbat idea norrectr "I regard Mr. Root as a man thoroughly qualified for tbe place in every respeot. He is a clean man, and one wbp has tbe'eonfi-dence aud respect of his party.

He is young enough I should -say. that be is about 46 or 44 and be is not entangled in tbe meshes of a faction." "Bat it has been suzgested that he is too much of a 'silk stocking to make him popular among the rank and file of tbe party!" is no resident of Ne York city in the republican party who Is so closely allied to the rank and file of tbe party as EiibuRoot. I don't think there is a man who could come nearer to polling tbe entire vote ot his party, and he would draw largely from tne Can he be nominated?" I can't answer that question. Ionly say that in my judgment bis nomination wouRl be popolar, and tbat it would be followed by his election. I can't even say that he would take it It offered to Mm."

O'Brien told tbe postmaster general that so far as' he was concerned he was out of the race, and bis only interest in the case was to have Tur ner's name withdrawn and some democrat who is an actual resident and who bas been identified with tbe democratic organization In Yankton selected to fill toe place. The postmaster general promised to look into tbe matter and will call for tbe papers now on file with postofflce committee. There is a probability that Turner's name may be withdrawn, -Mr. O'Brien, who is stopping at the Na tional in an interview with Thb JournaL correspondent today, stated that be had received outrageous treatment at the hands of a certain Yank ton gentleman and others who have maligned and misrepresented him to the postmaster general. He says that tbe charges on file here are not only false, but malicious.

He states that he bas no kick to make, however, at this time and will try and see that Mr. Turner retains his position in the census bureau at Wasninarton. If Mr. Turner's name is withdrawn be sug gests that tne democrats or xancton get together and select a man for tbe place, come to Washington with a united front and there will be no delay in tbe appointment. i DR.
