with sound money. Even If
these sixty members voted with
the free silver men the latter
would still lack many votes of
the number. necessary TO put a
free silver bill through the
house.
The Information secured by
the sound money committee has
been verified in several differ
rent ways. The position OF not
a few congressman has been
disclosed by their votes in pre-
vious congresses, by their pub
lie declarations, by refprnce
to lists compiled by RESPONSE
bic parties, by personal cores
pondrnce, and also by direct
communication with reliable
people in the several states.
Members Of the committee
claim that their estimate is
very conservative. The eighty
eight free silver men are made
up of ffty-one democrats, thir-
~ republicans and seven pop
ulists, showing that the white
metal enthusiasts are weaker
today than they have been 70:
many years.
So far as the complexion of
congress is concerned, reports
Indicate that Il number of the
eighty and eight will not answer

Pardoned by the Governor.

COLUMBUS, Dec 10. ALLEN Ward, re-
ceived at the penitentiary from Nor
gan county, March 5, 1895, has been
pardoned by Gov Mckinley. Ward
was convicted of subornation of per-
jury in June, 1878, and was sentenced
to four years Imprisonment. Shortly
afterward he escaped from the Jail at
McConnelsville. He fed to Kansas,
where he married and raised family.
Seventeen years passed, but last sum-
mer when his whereabouts were dis
covered he was brought back to Ohio
to serve out his sentence. While in
Kansas he had lived an upright life, SO
far as known, and the probabilities are
that if the costs of the trial, which had
long ago been paid by the county, had
not stood as unpaid to the county, he
would never have been molested.
