The misunderstanding relating 70
the Liability Of /. II. Weston on account
CT certain camp4iga expenses has been
sestled. 80 far IS the commission ap-
pointed % inyesUgate them, L con
eerued. The commission consisted OF
gentlemen OF the highest social and
business character, and vii carry the
weight OF their good names. The gem
tlemen were. Hon. william A Moore
Of Detroit. james II. Barnett, wee
president Of the old National Bank. and
Willard kingsley, OF this city. Mr..
Moore recently made 4 trip 20 Cali
foruia. and the work of examining
claims AID vouchers, and practical
decision thereon, were made before Mr.
Moore's departure, but the prepal alton
Of the opinion has bus Just been COM
pleted. The decision OF the committee,
unanimously arrived st, Is that all
claims of just and equitable nature
had been paid before the deposit Of Mr..
Weston's $50 900, and not = penny Was
voted from the sum deposited 10 pay
unpaid claims. The claim OF the East
Saginaw CogrisT was not presented and
viii be lltigated IA the courts.
Mr.. Weston was interviewed at the
Morton House, with reference 20 the
work of the commission. and said:
Il received copy of the report on
all claims presented last evening. The
result is as | expected. | did not allow
any claim which had merit TO go before
the commission. Two bills of $25 each
were filed which had been overlooked,
but would have been paid At the close
! of the campaign had they been pre-
sented. The local members of the State
committee paid them and they were
/ withdrawn. 4 claim for balance due a
| speaker engaged with the understand
/ ing that an outside party would pay
him was also filed. The claimant did
| good work and fairly earned all he
asked. paid him and he withdrew his
claim. One other claim filed was with
drawn, as the claimant found 1t wa:
against a county committee.
This left ten claims which were passed
on by the commission, nine against the
State committee and one against me
| One had been rejected by the State
committee, three were manufactured
! claims prompted by the offer | made
The other six appear to be honest bills
| against various county and Congress
sional committees. and individuals.
In detail they were as follows:
/. For a personal loan of SIS to {
stump speaker.
,. For newspapers furnished one o.
the Congressional committees.
3. For work of compilation ordered
by an outsider without the knowledge
OF the State committee.
/. Unpaid bills contracted by one o.
the Congressional committees.
and 8. Claims for speaking neve
contracted or recognized by the Stat
committee.
7. Claim for newspapers furnished
never contracted by the committee.
S. Printing tickets for county com
mittee.
9. For speaking done under contrac
with county committee.
10. Claim for discount made by tn
State committee for newspapers no
furnished as per contract.
1t is gratifying to know that thre
gentlemen of such high standing 70
intelligence and fairness concur in m,
Judgment regarding the claims in que:
ton.
Excepting No. 10, none of thes
claims were presented to the committe
until long after the campaign was over
and most of them | never heard o
until after | made my $50 900 deposit.
