his Secretary Of the Treasury have been

instead Of calling bonds. The bankers
OF New York did not want these bonds
called because they used them as q sort

could draw interest on them. The

Suchis the characterOf the campaign
in the 5th Congressional District.
Many honest, worthy men have been
deceived and are supporting Mr.. An
derson, believing him 10 be an efficient

claimed were true, his record furnishes
no warrant for the destruction Of the
Republican party in the 9Th district
Such campaign for the continuance
and ACCOMPLISHMENT Of one man at the
expense Of the party is a dangerous
feature inspolitics. An honorable cam
