The numerals $50, 100 and 100 in
this last telegram mean so many
men there. These kilograms, or
rather the one addressed to F. w.
Wicker, United States Collector at
the port of Key West, Fla, tells it's
own story. The sun had not gone
down IN the State of Indiana, where
one Of the greatest frauds ever per-
petrated on free government and
free ballot was about to be con.
summated, when the Chairman of
the National Republican Commit
tee and an official Of the United
States government we're preparing
to repeat, in the State of Florida.

summation In the State of Indi-
ana. The committee were advised
previous to the receipt of these tel.
egrams that the State of Florida
was about to he overrun by repeat.
ers from our large cities. The tele-
grams of Mr.. Jewell only confirm
what the committee we'll knew.
The facts that the above kilograms
are in the possession of the COM
mittee, that they are written in
copying ink, had been copied in q
letter.press book and had been tele-
graphed, with the receivers checks
and marks, are conclusive, This
committee defies any one to assert
that they are not genuine tele.
grams. They are now being litho-
graphed and will be given to the
public in day or two.
