WHY THEY REPUDfATEtt

Below win be found the liability Of some Of
our leading Tepudiatou 10 the Union bank

amount which these men have obtained for
themselves and their friends, while the bank
was 'Qrinding." Some portion Of almost eve.
~ msl's liability has doubtless been paid of
SINCE. But every man whose name Is here
inserted. sta 0l0ss De bank
About 7,OOO notes and bills Of exchangs were
discontinued By the Union Bank.
Now none Of ihess notes bad less than three
names upOn them, and a great many had Eve.
Say they would average iour names on each
note. This would be q, 900 persons who OBJ
tanned loans. Reduce this number one hall,
for the same names being on different notes,
and it would leave l4,OO0 men who obtained
accommodations from the bank. Il is estma-
ted by men who obtained accommodation from
the bank. Il Is estimated BY men familiar with
lie business, that not more than one fourth Of
the notes which were presented 70 the bank
were discounted. This would make 5000
rejected noles--say with three names-that
would be nOminally $4,000 men. The larger
the number ofnotea presentei, the more fre-
quently the same mems names would occur
upon different paper. We viii reduce thus
number 10 one sizih Of the apparent number,
which would make 1890, in round Rumbers.
This would make the number Of those who Oh
tanned loans and those who applied for loans
from the bank amount to "a, 800 citizens.
No proposition can be clearer, than that all
men who obtained or applied 10 the bank for
loans, by that act, recognized i as legally ex-
isting institution, approved the sale of the
bonds, and are now in law and justice estoped
from repudiating, upon the ground that the
law authorizing the issue Of the bonds was a
violation oftheir constitution. A large major
