prove success, that it would deprive

that Kansas City had spy by the name

delegates from the ports of Charleston,
Mobile, New Orleans, Galveston and
Tampa were posted as to what

also plainly informed that if
they were satisfied with the
small amount of business they are now
doing that they might tie to Kansas
