THE New York correspondent Of the Phila-
delphia Ledger writes on Thursday "Wall
street had another slight attack OF the blues
this afternoon, on reports that another formi,
dable combination Of the bears was forming

by partisan friends will no longer wipe out the
all important fact that there is corruption at
