rakers were purchased by the Win
throp Normal College of Rock Hill, S.

:eistanding that if satisfactory others
from the same makers were to be add
ed. Time .and test does not seem to
prove them entirely satisfactory since!
when eight more e.pianos were needed
hey were not chosen from either of
he makes before taken on trial. This
ime the selection was made from a
urely musical standpoint by those
ualified to judge the actual merits of
a piano; and, as a result the MIAsoN

REV. DR. TALMAGE CONFIDENT THAT
AMER!CA IS FOR GOD.
SHe Iih-ve ' h:it This Conti3:wnat Wa-i Re

n aPin t' tre of osir FutIti:-e l' ibipili

WmSIllNTON. March s --This dis
co urse pre-ens a sublne thenie and is
of national inport:anc". and coming
from the capil:0 of the nation must
have a stirring effect throughout the
land. Dr. Taimage chose for his text
lRevelat:on xiii. 11. *And I beheld an
other b-st cominig up out of the earth,
and lie had two horns like a ain).
and ie snake as a dragon."
Is Ameorica mentioned in the Bible?
Learned and consecrated men who
have studied the inspired books of
Daniel and Revelation more than I
have and understand them better agree
in saving that the leopard mentioned
in the Bible meant Grecia, and the
bear meant Medo-Persia, and the lion
meant Babylon, and the beast of the
text coming up out of the earth with
two horns like a lamb and the voice
of a dragon means our country, be
cause among other reasons it seemed
to come up out of the earth when Co
lumbus discovered it, and it has been
for the most part at peace,like a lamb,
unless assaulted by foreign foe, in
which case it has had two horns strong
and sharp, and the voice of a dragon
loud enough to make all nations hear
the roar of its indignation. Is it rea
sonable to suppose that God would
leave out from the prophecies of this
book this whole western hemisphere?
No, no. "I beheld another beast com
ing up out of the earth, and he had
two horns like a iamb,and he spake as
a dragon."
Germany for scholarships, England
for manufactories, France for man
ners, Egypt for antiquities, Italy for
pictures, but America for God.
I start with the cheering thought
that the most popular book on earth
today is the Bible, the most popular
institution on earth today is the
church, and the most popular name
on earth today is Jesus. Right from
this audience hundreds of men and
women would, if need be. march out
and die for him.
Am I too confident in saying "Amer
ica for God?" If the Lord will help
me, I will show the strength and ex
tent of the long line of fortresses to be
taken and give you my reasons for
saying it can be done and will be
done. Let us decide in this battle for
God whether we are at Bull Run or at
Gettysburg. There is a Fourth of
Julyish way of bragging about this
country, and the most tired and pluck
ed bird that ever flew through the
heavens is the American eagle, so
much so that Mr. Gladstone said to
me facetiously at Hawarden, "I hear
that the fish in your American lakes
are so large that when one of them is
taken out the entire lake is percepti
bly lowered," and at a dinner given
in Paris an American offered for a
sentiment, "Here is to the United
States-bounded on the north by the
aurora borealis, on the south by the
procession of the equinoxes, on the
east by primeval chaos and on the
west by the day of judgment." The
effect of such grand eloquence is to
discredit the real facts, which are so
tremendous they need no garnishing.
The worst thing to do in any cain
paign, military or religious, is to un
derestimate an enemy,and I -will have
no part in such attempt at belittle
ment.
This land is to be taken for God, ac
cording to Hassel, the statician has
14,219,067 square miles, a width and a
length that none but the Omniscient
can appreciate. Four Europes put to
gther, and capable of holding and
feeding, as it will hold and feed, ac
cording to Atkinson, the statiscian, if
the world continues in existence and
does not run afoul of some other world
or get consumed by the fires already
burning in the cellars of the planet -
capable, I say, of holding and feeding
more than 1,000,000,000 inhabitants.
For you must remember it must be
ield for God as well as taken for God,
and the last 500,000,000 inhabitants
must not be allowed to swamp the re
ligion -of the first 500,000,000. Not
mhin taking the fortress if we can
not hold it. It must be held until the
archangel's trumpet bids living and
lead arise from this foundering
plaou must remember it is only ab~out
i o'clock in the morning of our na
ion's life. Great cities are to flash and
roar among what are called the "Bad
Lands" of the Dakotas and the great
"Columbia Plains" of Washington
state, and that on which we put our
schoolboy fingers on the map, and
spelled out as the "Great American
:lesert," is, through systematic and
:onsummating irrigation, to bloom
like Chatsworth park and be made
more productive than those regions
lependent upon uncertain and spas
molic rainfall. All those regions as
well as those regions already cultivat
d to be inhabited! That was a sub
ime thing said by Henry Clay while
:rossing the Alleghany mountains
and he was waiting for the stage hor
ses to be rested, as he stood on a rock,
arms folded, looking off into the val
ey, and some one said to him, "Mr.
Nay, what are you thinking about?"
Ee replied, "I am listening to the on
:oming tramp of the future generation
f America." Have you laid our home
missionary scheme on such an infini
ude of scale? If the work of bring
ng one soul to God is so great, can
L,000,000,000 be captured? In this
ountry, already planted and to be
>vercome, paganism has built its altar
:o Brahma, and the Chinese are al
ready burning incense in their temn
ales, and Monammedanism, drunk in
>ther days with the red wine of hu
nan blood at Lucknow and Cawnpur,
md now fresh from the diabolism in
arenia, is trying to get a foothold
ere, and from the minarets of her
nosques will yet mumble her blas
hemiee, saying, "God is great. and
Iohammed .is his prophet." Then
here are the vaster multitudes with
1o r eligion at all. They worship no
od, they live with no consolation,
md they die with no hope. No star
>f peace points down to the manger
a which they are born, and no pray
e is uttered over the grave into which
hey sink. Then there is alcoholism,
ts piled up demiijohns and beer bar
-els and hiogsheads of fiery death, a
arricade high and long as the Alle
hanies and Rockies and Sierra Neva
las, pouring forth day and night their
tmmunition of wretchedness and woe.

-not with hand uplifted toward
heaven, for from that direction it
can get no help. but with right hand
stretched down toward the perdition
from which it came up-swearing that
it will not cease as long as there are
any bomnestads to despoil, any mag
niticent men and women to destroy,
any immortal souls to damn, any
more nations to balk, any more civili
zations to extinguish.
Then there is what in America we
call socialism. in France commun
ismz and in Russia nihilism-the
the three names for one and the
same thing-and having but two doc
trines in its creed: First, there is no
God: secon d, there shall be no rights
of property. One of their chief jour
nals printed this sentiment. "Dyna
mite can be made out of the dead bod
ies of capitalists as well as out of hogs."
One of the leaders of communism left
inscribed on his prison wall, where he
had been justly incarcerated, these
words: "When once you are dead,
there is an end of everything. There
fore, ye scoundrels, grab whatever
you can, only don't let yourselves be
grabbed. Amen." There are in this
country hundreds of thousands of
these lazy scoundrels. Honest men
dep!2ne it when they cannot get work,
but those of whom I speak will not do
work when they can get it. I tried to
employ one who asked me for money.
I said, "gn-ie-my.-eHar I~ have
-someood to saw, and I will pay you
for it." For a little while I heard the
saw going, and then I heard it no
more. I went down stairs and found
the wood, but the workman had dis
appeared, taking for company both
buck and saw.
Socialism, communism and nihilism
mean "too wicked to acknowledge
God and too lazy to earn a living,"
and among the mightiest obstacles to
be overcome are those organized ele
ments of domestic, social and political
ruin.
There also are the fastnesses of infi
delity, and atheism, and fraud, and
political corruption, and multiform,
hydra headed, million armed abomi
nations all over the land. While the
mightiest agencies for righteousness
on earth are good and healthful news
papers and good and healthful books,
and our chief dependence for intelli
gence and Christian achievement is
upon them, what word among the
more than 100,000 in our vocabulary
can describe the work of that arch
angel of mischief, a corrupt literature?
What man, attempting anything for
God and hums.nity, has escaped a
stroke of its filthy wing? What good
cause has escaied its hinderment?
What other obstIcle in all the land so
appalling? But I cannot name more
than one-half the battlements, the bas
tions, the intrenchments, the redoubts,
the fortifications, to be stormed and
overcome if this country is ever
taken for God. The statistics are so
awful that if we had nothing but the
multiplication table and the arithme
tic, the attempt to evangelize America
would be an absurdity higher than
the tower of Babel before it dropped
on the plain of Shinar. Where are
the drilled troops to march against
those fortifications as long as the con
tinent? Where are the batteries that
can be unlimited against these walls?
Where are the guns of large enough
caliber to storm these- gates. Well,
let us look around and see, the first of
all, who is our leader and will be our
leader until the work is done.
Garibaldi, with 1,000 Italians, could
do more than another commander
with 10,000 Italians. General Sher
man, on one side, and Stonewall
Jackson, on the other, each with 10,000
troops, could do more than some other
generals with 20.000 troops. The rough
boat in which Washington crossed the
icy Deleware with a few half frozen
troops was mightier than the ship of
war that, during the American Revo
lution, came through the Narrows, a
run at each porthole, and sank in
ITell Gate. Our leader, like most great
leaders, was born in an obscure place,
and it was a humble home, about five
miles from Jerusalem. Those who
were out of doors that night said that
there was stellar commotion and music
that came out of the clouds, as though
the front door of heaven had been set
open, and that the camels heard his
first infantile cry. Then he came to
the fairest boyhood that mother wa
ever proud of, and from 12 to 30 years
of age was off in India, if traditions
there are accurate, and then returned
to his native land, and for three years
hand his pathway surrounded by blind
eyes that he illuminated, and epileptic
patients to whom he gave rubicund
health, and tongues that he loosed
from silence into song, and those
whose funerals he stopped that he
might give back to bereaved mothers
their only boys, and those whose fev
ered pulses he had restored into rhyth
mic throb, and whose paralytic limnbs
he kind warmed into healthful circula
tion-pastor at Capernaum, but flam
ing evangelist everywhere, hushing
crying tempests and turning rolling
seas ito solid sapphire, and for the
rescue of a race submitted to court
room filled with howling miscreants,
and to a martyrdom at the sight of
which the sun'fainted and fell back
in the heavens, and then treading the
clouds homeward, like snowy moun
tain peaks, till heaven took him back
again, more a favorite than he had
ever been; but, coming again, he is on
earth now, and the nations are gather
ing to his standard.
Following him were the Scotch cove
nanters, the Thebars legion, the vic
tims of the London Haymarket, the
Piedmontesse sufferers, the pilgrim
fathers, the Huguenots and uncount
ed multitudes of the past, joined by
about 400,000,000 of the present, and
with the certainty that all nations
shall huzza at his chariot wheel, he
goes forth, the moon under his feet
and the stars of heaven for his tiara
the mighty leader, he of Drumclog,
and Bothwell Bridge, and Bannock
burn, and the one who whelmed
Spanish armada, "Coming up from
Edam, with dyed garments from Boz
rah, traveling in the greatness of his
strength, mighty to save," and hehind
whom we fall in line today and march
in the campaign that is to take Amer
ica for God. Tiosanna! Hosanna!
Wave all the palm branches! At his
feet put down your silver and your
gold, as in heaven you will cast before
him your coronets.
With such a leader do you not think
we can do it? Say, do you think we
can? Why, many ramparts have al
ready been taken. Where. is Ameri
aan slavery ? Gone. and the south, as
heartily as the north, pray, "Peace to
its ashes." Where is bestial polygamyi
s-one, by the fiat of the United States
governmnent, urged on by Christian
sentment, and Mormonism, having
retreated in 1830 from Fayette, N. Y.,
to Kirkland, C'., and in 1838 retreated

getting a stunning stroke by the sum
mary execution of its exponents after

shore.
The very things that have been quot
ed as perils to this nation are going to
help its salvation. Great cities, so of
ten mentioned as great obstacles-the
center of crime and the reservoirs of
all iniquities-are to lead in the work
of gospelization. Who give most to
home mission, to asylums, to religious
education.to all styles of humanitarian
and Christian institutions? The cities.
From what places did the most relief
go at the time of Johnstown flood, and
Michigan fires, and Charleston earth
quake, and Ohio freshets? From the
cities. From what place did Christ
send out his 12 apostles to gospelize the
world? From a city. What place
will do more than any other place, by
its contributi m of Christian men and
women and means, in this work of
taking America for God? New York
city. The way Paris goes, goes
France. The way Berlin goes, goes
Germany. The way Edinburgh zoes,
goes Scotland. The way New York
and a couple ot'-er cities go, goes
America.
Another thing quoted pessimistical
lyis the vast ndovertEpping fortunes
in this country, and they say-it means
concentrated wealth, afid luxurious
ness, and display and moral ruin. It
is my observation that it is people
who have but limited resources who
make the most splurge, and I ask you,
Who are endowing colleges and theo
logical seminaries? Did you ever
hear of Peter Cooper. and James Le
nox, and sainted William E. Dodge,
and the Lawrences, Amos and Abbott,
while I refrain from mentioning liv
ing benefactors who, quite as gener
ous and Christian, are in this assembly
at this moment planning what they
can do in these days, and in their last
will and testament in this campaign
that proposes taking America for God?
The widow's mite, honored of the
Lord, is to have its part in this conti
nental capture; but we must have
more than that and more right away.
Many of the men that expect to get
the blessing for bestowing the widow's
mite will not get the blessing: In the
first place, they are not widows, and
in the next place they have no 'might.'
The time is coming-hasten it, Lord
-and I think you and I will see it,
when, as Joseph, the wealthy Arima
thman, gave for the dead Christ a
costly mausoleum, the affluent men
and women of this country will rise
in their strength and build for our
King, one Jesus, the throne of this
American continent.
Another thing quoted for discour
agement, but which I quote for en
couragement, is foreign immigration
-now that from Castle Garden we
turn back by the first poor ship the
foreign vagabondism-we are getting
people the vast majority of whom
come to make an honest living, among
them some of the bravest and the best.
If you should turn back from this
land to Europe the foreign ministers
of the gospels, and the foreign attor
neys, and the foreign merchants, and
the foreign philanthropists, what a
robbery of our pulpits, our courtrooms,
our storehouses and our beneficient
institutions, and what a putting back
of every monetary, merciful, moral
and religious interest of the land!
This commingling here of all nation
alities under the blessing of God will
produce in 75 or 100 years the most
magnificent style of man and woman
the world ever saw. They will have
the wit of one race, the eloquence of
another race, the kindness of another,
the generosity of another, the testhetic
taste of another, the high moral char
acter of another, and when that man
and woman step forth, their brain and
nerve and muscle an intertwining of
the fibers of all nationalities, nothing
but the new electric photographic ap
paratus that can see clear through
body. mind and soul, can take of them
an adequate picture. But the foreign
population of America is less than one
eleventh 'of all our population, and
why all this fuss about foreign immi
gration? Eighty-nine Americans to~
11 foreigners ! If 89 of us New Jersey
men, or 89 of us New Yorkers or 89 of
us Ohioans, or 89 of us Georgians, or
89 of us Yankees, are not equal 11 for
eigners, then we are a starving lilipu
tian group of humnunculi that ought to
be wiped out of existence.
But now what are the weapons by
which, under our omnipotent leader,
the real obstacles in the way of our
country's evangelization, the 10,000
mile Sevastopols, are to be leveled?
The first columbiad, with range
enough to sweep from eternity to eter
nity, is the Bible, millions of its copies
going out, millions on millions--this
the monarch of books, that has made
all the difference between China and
the United States, between Africa and
America; a book declaring in every
style of phraseology that all nations
are to be converted, and does not that
include our notion? If the Apocalyp
tic angel is to iy across thd continents
will he not fly across this continent?
The worst insult I could offer you woud
be to doubt your veracity, and shall we
doubt God's promise? Then there are
all the gospel batteries, manned by
70,000 pastors and home missionaries,
over tMs head of each one of whom is~
the shield of divine protection, and in
the right hand of each one the gleam
ing, two edged sword of the Infinite
Spirit! Hundreds of thousands of
private soldiers for Christ, marching
under the one starred blood striped flag
of Emanuel! They are marching on!
Episcopacy with the sublime roll of its
liturgies; Methodism, with its battle
ry of "The sword of the Lord and
John Wesley ;" the .Baptist church,
with its glorious navy sailing up our
Oregons and Sacramentos and Missis
sippis, and Presbyterianism, moving
on with the battlecry of "The s word
of the Lord and Joha Knox,"and then
after awhile will come the great tides
of revival, sweeping over the land,
the 500,000 conversions in 1857 eclipsed
by the salvation of millions in a day,
and the four American armies of the
Lord's host marching toward each~
other, the eastern army marching west
the western army marching east, the
northern army ~marching south, the

WH!TE CAPS AT WORK.
Arch Wailace Severely Whipped at Kil
ir.ns.
CoixMBIA, S. C., March 10.- Late
Saturday night, near Killians. in this
county, a party of nine white men
visited the home of Arch Wallace
and gave him a severe whipping. His
back and legs were beaten into a jelly
and he was left for dead. Afterwards
his log cabin was fired. Wallace. how
ever, crawled out through the flames
and oy some means, which he is un
able now to tell, extinguis.hed the firei
and escaped. A corn crib near by 1
was totally destroyed. A white wo
man, with her three children, who
was living with Wallace, fled to the
woods in their night clothes and re- I
mained there most of the night.
Yesterday John Shehan, W. M. Ab
bits, Charles Tawny, Hamp Tawny,
Richard Goings and George Goings. all
white, were arrested and carried before
Magistrate Sawyer on a charge of as
sault and battery of a high and ag
gravated nature. Two others, who
were not named in the indictment
will be arrested for the same offense.
The testimony was very conflicting.
Mr. P. H. Thornton gave a Register
reporter the following version of the
affair:
"Some time ago my son, J W Thorn
ton, purchased an axe from John
Shehan.'On Wednesday Shehan called
for the axe, claiming that it had never
been paid for. He said if this was
not done that he would go before
Magistrate Sawyer and get satisfac
tion. A mani came to Wallace and
asked him to help whip my son, but
he refused to do this and reported it
to J. W. Thronton.
"This made the gang mad so they
went to Wallace's home and gave him
a beating with rough wooden clabs.
The woman and children fled to the
woods where they remained during
the niaht."
If tis story is true the men who
did the whipping must have been a
depraved set, but there is another and
darker side to the story. Some claim
that Wallace was living in adultery
with the woman and he was punished
for this. Wallace is a married man,
though he does not live with his wife
Wallace claims that his wife was too
mean so he got an Oklahoma divorce,
so to speak, and got another woman,
who had separated from her husband.
to come to his home and live. This
the woman did bringing her three
children with her. Wallace was liv
ing in open adultery with the woman
and the crowd in that neighborhood
decided to have the nuisance stopped.
Wallace was brought to the city yes
terday on a bed. His body is in a
terrible condition. On the left shoul
der there isa place a foot square which
is beaten blue, and other bruises are
to be seen all over his body.
The men who were indicted were
all released on a $300 bond each to
await trial at the March term of court.
The loss of the corn crib wili amount
to $50. The woman and children re
turned to the house about midnight
where they remained, and had a r.ar
rant taken out yesterday.
The families in that neighborhood
have had much trouble of late, which
terminated in the whipping Saturday
ntight-Register.
A New Industry.
The following taken from the Au
gusta Chronicle shows how one wo
man made a business for herself and
gave employment to many others.
The ways of making money seems to
be almost limitless if any one only
has the faculty of thinking of some
thing new, for novelty is what at
tracts: "A unique enterprise whieb
has grown to an enormous extent in
London is a doll's~ hospital. The idea
for this strange occupation was con-4
ceived by a woman whose husband
was a wax modeller. She becamc
much interested in his work, and the
thought dawned upon her that wax
dulls might be remoddled and ap
pear in their former dainty loveliness
to the delight of the little owners, and
the benefit of herself. So this bright
woman hung out a sign, 'Doll's Hos
pital.' All complaints, such as cracked
skulls missing or fractured limbs, re
paired in a short time. Before long
orders began to pour into the little
shop, for what child does not love an
old doll, no matter how battered and
tattered it is. Even with the rag doll I
no other could hold its place in the
affection of the child. Others might<
come beautiful and gorgeous in face
and dress, but she even would not fill
that vacancy which the old doll has I
held. Crowds of children found hap
piness in the little place, and day after
day they would go in troops to the
doll doctor to have Sally or Jane
transformed into renewed lovelinesst
under skillful treatment in exchanget
for a small sum. This hospital gre w
to such an extent that many other wo- s
men were given employment and now
after twenty years existence it is in a
flourishing and splendid condition,r
for as long as there are little girlst
there will be dolls to mend." t

-The Gold Reserve.
The gold reserve in the Treasury has y
now reached the big figure of $125.-t
000,000, which has not been exceeded. ,
says the Pittsburg Post, for any length a
of time since December, 1891. It was t
nearly $126,000,000 at the end of
March, 1892, but, excepting at that t
time, it ranged from St.24,000,000 to f
$110,000,000 during the year 1892, and i
by the end of Harrison's administra- j
tion had fallen to $103',000,00~0. With-j
drawals of gold for export are still b2
made, and it is reported that Treasuryi
officals would not be surprised if the t:
reserve should fall oelow the $100.
000.000 mark before the final payment a
on the new bonds on the 15th of June. s
It would not be surprising, indeed, if v
most of the $20,000,000 still coming
should be paid in gold taken from the r
Treasury. The total amount of gold i
drawn from the Treas;ury sice Janu- c
ary 6, the date of the last offer of s
bonds, is stated at $32,400,000. of which v~
nearly $23,000,000, or some 71- per
cent. was drawn for purposes ottier e
than export. The presumption is that i
the most of this latter sum was with- 5
drawn to be used in paying for bonds.

Other Democrats made similar

tvote Was the sp-eial order of the

rote was then taken on the minority
eport in favor of unseating Kaufman
Lnd it was adopted by a vote of 19 to
[6. The final vote was then taken on
be majority report, as amended by
his minority unseattag report. All
he Democrats left the house. The
adies wthdrew fr'nn the
r sta and 51 members were

In a minute the wildest excitment
>revaild all over the state house. Sen
tors huddled together in the middle
>f the senate chamber while a mob
:rowded every entrance. The Demo
:ratic senators yelled their votes un
eating Senators James and Walton,
lepublicans. Three minutes later a
nob was at the door declaring that
fames and Walton should never go
n. It was now 11:45. In the mob
vere several men holding uistols,
tanding at the door daring Republi
aus to attempt to bring the two un
eated senators through. In the cro xd
,vere Jack Chinn, and Jim Williams,
3enator Bronston. Senator Martin,
Walter Snarp and Senate Doorkeeper
Cyler. Senator Blackburn was in
he crowd counseling coolness. The
rowd was furious when they learned
hat James had already slipped into
he house and had done so wilile they
ere useating him in the senate. At
L2:05, Dunlop approached the door,
>ut was waved back. Speaker Bland
ord of tae house refused to recognize
he senate, hoping that Danlop would
ome in, bat at 12:11 Lieutenant Gov
rnor Worthington took the gavel
rom Blandford almost by force and
alled the joint session to order.
Senator Bronston, Democrat, made
speech, supporting the action of the
enate in unseating Republicans. Mr.
3ronston made the point that the sen
Lte's chief clerk was the one to call the
oll. The Republicans disputed the
-ight of the senate clerk to call the
,-ol. The point was that if Jame's
2ame was not called, the vote would
>e a tie. The discussion became gen
ral and assumed a milder tone. Fi
ially, at 12:30 p: m., the chair ruled
hat the Democratic senate clerk
hould call the senate roll and the
ouse clerk the house roll. The roll
ail was then begun. The senate
erk did not call the names of Jones
%nd Walton. The house clerk did
2t call the name of Kaufman. Dr.
ames sat still and did not demand tne
all of his name and Mr. Burman de
nanded the reading of the journal
>f yesterday. At 12:50 p. m. the de
nand for the journal reading was
ithdrawn, and a roll call was begun,
he Republicans refraining from vot
og. There was a whisper that the
Republicans might ask to vote at the
ast for Carlisle.
At 1 p. m. the roll call was comiplet
d. Eight or 10 Democrats voted fori
:arlisle. Neither Mr. James nor any
>f the other Republi~cans ask'ed to vote,
xcept Mr. Flippin, who recalled his
-equest. The vote stood: Blackburn
4, Carlisle 10, Buckner 1. The chair
nnounced no quorum voting.
At 1:10 p. m. the session adjourned,
he doors were thrown open and the
nembers filed out and mingled with
he mob, all seemingly in a good hu
nor.
Not a Republican voted.
The scene in the senate immediately
fter the unseating of Kaufman, and
rhile James and Walton were being
tuseated, was riotous. The lieutenx
Lt governor ignored the clerk putting
notions. He broke his gavel and lefLt
tis chair. The Democratic senators
houted their votes like commanding
dicers giving orders in battle.
Senator Holloway left the chamber
.nd threatened by his manner every
)emocrat who tried to make him go
ack. When the clerk announced
he result of the vote on the motion to
Lnseat. the senators rushed to the
Louse door and the crowd roared like a
aob. The real danger was that an at
emIpt would be made to take James
rom the house into which he had
lipped while being unseated. He
romised that he would not try-to
ote until a further settlement of the
aatter. Soon the only people to hold
he door were Captain Bob Tylery on
he inside and Jack Chin r., his tempo
ary deputy, on the outside. When
hings calmed down a little, it could
e seen that Chinn's demonstrations
> draw a weapon were ouly made
then the mob pressed too hard at tiest
nd that when he started to dra av,
aose around who were determined to
rotect him would also prepare to
