Morain, informed the correspondents in_explaining the impressive police array. “The streets must be made safe for pedestrians and political fac- tions may no longer use them'as a battlefield.” Mounted municipal guards were on patrol, breaking up any attempts of the members of the Patriots' League from assembling in marching order.
