10 much talked OF here ttNtt I may bore you ny |
giving II n,lch space II, Cincinnati. It IN only
necessary fer such pcrauMnl ind sogu,ato lcafl-
ers ms Kelly to keep In p1wer long enough to ho |
thoroughly dtsl.kol. There never ,wAs pro-
vtsion in Inv or ,1eslRn for such mn autocEncy as
Kelly quietly stepped Into, rs unsupported md |
as uncnIIed to rs was Dr. Frnnrtn when ho rot |
huld OF Paraguay.
The OLD race OF city tospots hal l'ccn cxtcr-
mtna,oA by proving their cr!n,cs, when kclly
cnulo on tho kcenc, announced himself I'm
honcst man, and by TINT Right waved hls
shiItnlau over every right and property wo
possessed. Tho ilrat tU challenge him were unc
or tT7 Of mis- uWn associates, like Jimmy
Hayes nnd John Mnrr!sscy, whose notorious oc-
cnpntlons prevented public opinion ttvm toi-
lowing them, md for whtfc Kelly waa reAlly
strengthened. THIN followed his light with
sttcf Americans rs flnrctncycr and Green, who
wgro believed to 10 upright men, but ntt Ut
popular hnhlts. Again Kelly WIS rather bepc-
