MY DEAR S1R:-In reply to yours Of
I'd inst, I would say that the tenor of
your last communication does not en-
tirely correspond with those previously
received. l understood you at first to
say that you should proceed to Kansas
Immediately upon the organization of
the Legislature, and confer personally
with those interested. In your last you
say nothing about this, but only mention
that you can furnish material" The
Legislature assemblies on the 18th inst,
a week from to-day, and, should they or
ganize on that date, the first ballot for
Senator will occur on the 9th; otherwise
q week later.
Please let me hear from you definitely.
/ am ready to carry out the arrangement
as | understood 1t, when I sent my tele-
gram Of 1st inst. return the letters of
G. r. Davidson, Atlanta, October 10th
and 18th, as you may desire to retain
them in your files. Very truly yours,

an extent as General Gordon, whom I
love for the enemies he has made ut the
north because Of his long and faithful
services in defence of the people of his
native state. So let me assure you that
you will be next Senator if you will take
me into your confidence, and that as you
have been most wickedly asSailed and
deceived by some Of those who have in
like manner most vilely misled me. |
am oppressed with secrets-all of record
proving themselves which bear so
heavily upon my heart and conscience
that now being relieved by the lying per-
fidy Of some Of your worst enemies from
all obligations Of silence, let me ask If
you want them, not only for your vindi-
cation, but for putting you into the Sens-
tOrial chair beyond question?
The record of facts referred to will not
only stir up your own state, but the
whole south, from centre to circumfer-
ence. Nor Is it improbable that some
new nominations for Congress would be-
come necessary.
But II you shall accept my offer not
an hour IS to be lost. I shall require 800
cash to be sent by telegraph, with an
agreement to pay me $4OO more when
you shall have been elected hereby
in the apparently impossible
contingency of your non-election to re-
turn to you the 800.
Wire and write me forthwith, If this
Is accepted, and permit no
one to see this.
Upon hearing from you / will leave
for Atlanta by next train, as you shall ad-
wise. They would make you the hero Of
the whole south, as l verify believe.

MY DEAR Misunderstanding to
mine Of yesterday with its seven en-
closures, my omission to send copy Of
my reply to General Gordon's letter to
me of August 20, 1890, is corrected now,
by enclosing such reply.
Kansas Alliance Congressman and
members Of the Legislature urged me
prior to election to come to their assist
ance, but as my time would not permit
they were supplied by me free of charge,
with large amount of valuable material.
My plans for your success would, in
my opinion, wherein you would probably
concur, be pretty certain to prevail.

aminations in other branches showed

As the net result, instead of the ex-
pected college classes, we had a few
candidates for the lower forms of a
rather Indifferent high school What a
fall from our high expectations! Still
some OF the material seemed fairly

the future. We now saw the wisdom,
the true inwardness, as it We're, of our

TROUBLE FOR TWO MEN.

There was a moments silence after

Really? Why, that's the way my
husband talks about you. He told me
how you reshaped and recover ed that
old parasol and so saved eight dollars"
''ParasOl! Why I never touched it
until my husband had harped all one
day on your cIeverness in uphOlstering
and refining a baby carriage at a saw
ing of six dollars
Nonsense. The thing that made me
do that was the way my husband talked
about that parasOI. Then he got me to
fixi1g over last years hat because
you were working over an old dress"
but never started to do that until
my husband had told me five times
about your hat. wasn't going to adj

DePOsItOrs Of the Spring Garden Bank
Looking TO the Governments For Their
Money.
PHILADELPHIA, June 16-At a meet
ing of the association of depositors OF
the wrecked Spring Garden national
bank last night the following was
adopted:
Resolved, That 1t IS the sense of this meet
ing that some arrangement be made where
by suit may be brought against the United
States government to recover orr lost
money. as the government is mainly re-
sponsible for our loss through the ineapacftv
OF its sworn omcla1s.
Another resolution was adopted in
structing the secretary to write Presi-
dent Harrison and ask him to inquire
into the conduct OF United States Dis
trict Attorney Read. with regard 20 the
arrests Of officials of the Spring Garden
bank. It is claimed that at the time OF
the arrest OF President Kennedy and
Cashier Kennedy warrants were also
obtained for directors EphraiEn Young
and Nelson T. Evans, who were shown
to be Illegal borrowers from the bank
These warrants, the resolution sets
forth, are still IN the hands OF Read
and the association wants to know yhv
they have not been served.
