THE WALKER FAILURE.

Gov. Mckinley was Grossly Deceived by

the Governor Financial Assistance.
YouSGsTowN, o., Feb. 19.-The sole
absorbing topic on the streets Is the
failure of Robert L. Walker, the
banker and capitalist, and the conse.
quent ruin which has been visited upon
Gov. Mckinley. 1t is said that the
governor supposed all along when he
signed note that all the previous
notes had been paid, but it was not
so. When the crash came Mckinley
found that he was liable for every
note that he had indorsed, aggregating
$50. 900 and over The exact amount
cannot be learned. as the affairs OF
Walker are in such a badly mixed ur
condition that a detailed statement
cannot be made out for several days.
just prior to the failure of the stamp
ing works, which caused the crash,
Walker assigned all his personal
property to Gov. Mckinley, aggre'
eating about $4,000. This leaves
the governor to pay about $4,000
This he might do, but he would have te
sacrifice his property, and he would
thus be without dollar in the world
However, his Youngstown friends have
offered to loan him enough to tide ovel
the difficulty
