the report, “I’ve heard nothing ex
cept a telegram from Senator Sherman,
bat the delegatee from Ohio need no
urging from any quarter in behalf of
of tbe present strife by falling into line
for McKinley.”

In The Timk.-IImohuku of • f.w
days before tba company loft, • apodal
finaace committee publlslwd a card In
which th. exact llaanclal situation waa
pnt forth. It waa shown that th. oom-
pany needed something over 1100 to b.
able to go to tb. .ncaaipmeat. Tho
citizens were not asked for this amount
the facta war* merely >tat ad, and stated
plainly.

That’s the way tha card waa published,
