DEMOCRATIC LIE NAILED.
Ex-Secretary Foster Refutes the State.
ment That the Treasury Under
Harrison Was Bankrupt.

Canton O.. Aug. 3.-Charles Foster,
secretary of the treasury under Har-
riSon came to Canton about two weeks
ago to consult with Major Mckinley
concerning u letter, copies of which
have since been made public and sent
to Canton. Mr Fosters object is to con-
tradlct the impression industriously
circulated through Democratic chan
nels that General Harrison turned over
IA bankrupt treasury to Mr.. Cleveland.
An attempt has been made to prove
this assertion by reference to the fact
that Mr.. Foster had gone 50 far as to
have the plates prepared for Il pew is
Sli. of bonds in the closing months of
til" Harrison administration.
Mr Foster eXplaics that he had at
no time even considered the matter of
issuing bonds To meet current expenses,
h;trint always had enough money on
hand. and having succeeded in turning
over To- Mr cleveland an unbroken gold
reserve. together with ii comfortable
working balance. The real purpose, he
said. oi partially arrac ging for an issue
of bonds. was To- carry out his Idea OF
increasing the gold reserve from $i00,-
C0a 900 to $l.5OCO. 900. His Judgment on
tins point was overruled and the con-
trplplated issue had no bearing what
ever on the condition of the treasury.

There is ample reason for the belief
that Mr.. Erucc, himself representative

interest of his race in Major Mckinley.
A mass of correspondence from the
southern and middle states. which has
been received in Canton since the st.
