cay morning, to the effect that upon the
authorization of Mr.. ID. Q. Mills, the
ijalI,iib declares that Ralston was q de-
taulter to the amount OF 5000, 900 or
5000, 900, and that to that detalcation
: due the suspension OF the Bank. The
tone OF the article IL question is indi-
r1tcl IL the ayerment made therein,

As further proving lis right to speak
e the affairs Of tie Bank. the Baliei;n
says
In discussing the bearing Il local 4ues-
tious, Ii became necessary to earnestly
oppose what we conceived to be the
course Of tie late President OF the Bank
II California Oh the most important of
these questions. In doing this We made
/ attack on TIE Bank. We had some |
time before that been assured by Nicho-
las Lynirs. the Chairman OF the Finance
Committee. that whatever might be the
condition OF the private affairs of its
President. the Bank was in sound con-
ditioE. and would be kept so by the
[ OrlIlittCe of Directors who had the III
innate control. While our strenuous
opposition was made to the policy OF its
President on outside and local questions,
We tad nothing to say about the man
.5er1ent of the institution.
What does this mean unless it means
that the Bulletin has all along been the
organ and mouthpiece Of parties in the
EaEa who were strenuous TO break Ral-
sion and destroy his reputation. and
v 10, at the same time, were weak enough
to think tina. tie President Of their Bank
-ou,d be discounted and dissraced and .
