South Carolina District. After fun ana
careful investigation the committee fnds
that no question was raised by either can
didatc as TO the regularity of the call
for the convention which nominated Mur-
ray. and. therefore, holds him TO be the
regular nominee OF the Republican party
In his district.
The gold reserve was increased by S332,-
