IL was too favorable to the single gold

there was a universal demand TO know
where he really stood. He replied:

nounced that II would at once proceed

that MIR. Kelly had chosen.
MIR. Kelly was III at the Merchants

Mr.. Kelly has been busy man all his
life and has broken down. lie has been

that II would be best to adjust his af-
fairs through an assignment. Such D
course was really not necessary, as Mr..
Kelly has ample means.
