the figures on the slips that show the
"pullings, makes 1t impossible for us TO
guarantee the signature on the communi-

signed with his name. We do not know
whether the signature is forgery or not.
However, we appreciate the kindly
tender OF services that the brief note
proffers in the interests OF our researches
into the game OF policy and have only to
suggest that the exigencies of the busi-
ness of making a daily newspaper require
that anything designed for publication
be furnished US more promptly than our
kindly disposed correspondent has been
able to do in this instance. Some hours
prior to the receipt OF the "pullings" en-
closed we had the list of them already in
type.
