his appeal for ''the bloody SHIRT with
money" Good said Wheeler.
1.-The bloody shirt Is just the thing
III hang that out, aud the people
will be 50 frightened that Tilden
won't ret a vote all through the
country" So Nhceler went 10
work and gotta shirt, so red that
any boil With q diseased brain
would have made line d.
rectly for il. But the Wee Presi
dent expectant l. not discreet he
held up that shirt 80 long, and per.
mit,ed such close inspection, that
the holder among the people soon
discovered that if il ever had been
bloody, the blood had thornghly
dried by hong exposure, and that the
stains which were now displayed.
were artificial. so nobody was
frightened bat Mr.. Wheeler, when
he found the effect Of his effort. lie
has been still more frightened sinee,
for his managers nov tell him that
be had better leave the bloody shir,
for others 90 exhibit, and # he
makes - fool Of himself any more
they will take his name OF the ticket.

They soon pro'percd and became noted as src.
c,sslul anthracite iron manufacturers. Sub.e-
qucntly they assumed the management of the
Monour Iron Company, which did not prove
a. fortunate to them. But during the whole
time, in connection with another brother, VI. c.
Grove, who was taken into partnership, they
kept on improving the Columbia property, and
built another furnace of ia'aet dimen.ioli. a.
well as increased the capacity Of the old one, b.
-idcs adding other improvements which max 8
this furnace property as complete in all its de
tails as any properly Of It's kind in the United

to iron, from the ore to the manufactured arii-

hand bills to be put up in the most public
places in the district" Section 6, of the act
Of April 20, 1874, j. L. 6S, applies to school

tail tho actual indebtedness the amount of
