Itthicn states how Osborne by stealth and fores cffocted an en- trance into the state house and attompted to assumo the duties of the office of governor The action of Osborne is declared 1o be un 1awful aud all citizens are called upon to ro- spect his (Barber’s) autbority All last night the eapitol was guarded from within aud without by armed bodies of men. The capitol commissioner had called upon Sherift Kelloy and Lie had a strong force 1o the buildiug.

Richard- son, editor of the Wichita Beacon, said this morning that the result of the official count gave the democrats a balanco of power, which was ubsolute. He clmms that Sen- ators-Elect O'Brien of Sedwick county and D, Hard of Bourbon, willstand with the two democrats in tho lowor house. According to the ofticial count this makes the political complexion of tho legislature on joint ballot as follows: Kepuolicans, 79; populis's, §2; democrats, 4. ISighty-three votes arc nccessary to elect and the four democrats could go with therepublicans and have the exact number requived. O'Brien is a fusion-democrat and has always afiiliated with the populists. It is claimed by the ponalists that he is pledged 1o support the populist caucus nominee, but the democrats contond that he will insist upon the election of a democrat and give the populists the state printer on a compromise. Dillard of Bournon countv 1s of about the same political faith as O'Brien. Richardson is authority for the statement that neither of those senators would vote under any circumstances for a recalcitrant democrat. and without them the republican- democratic combine is an impossibility .

Referring to tho obj2ct of the strikers it says: *“Thero was ouly one vital principle at’stako in the contest between the Amalga mated association and the company, namely : Whetnar the latter should be “allowed to employ tonunion men. This the Amalga- natea association and its advisory commit- tee wore determimed to prevent, by force if necessary. ‘4I'ne committee refused to ar- bitrato its differences, because its oMclals desired to manage their own business, and more particularly hecauss twice beforo thoy had arbitrated and the Amalgamated asso- ciation had refused to abide by the decision of the referec.’” As to the accusation of the strikers that the meu sent by the Pinkerton agency were crimnals the statement says: “The men wo sont were carefally selected.
