TIE BANKRUPTCY.

hal X. Taylor was made assignee. AS
written above, when the Walker tum-
Die came everybody was dumb for mo-
ment 10 fad Mckinley in it. When peo-
pie began to talk, however, the syndi-
Gators spoke first. They told a roman
tic story of McKinley'S innocence of bus
mess. He was a child in the matter
of noney-making this man whom they
eXtolled as a statesman fit for hair-line
tariff, and TO draw the measure-so they
said-Which was TO tax 10000, 900 of
people $500, 000,000 a year.
Mckinley was a rustic, an innocent;
ne had yielded to the cry Of friendship
and signed Walkers paper-whether
as maker or indorser. as Walker sug-
gesc ed-blndly and in the best OF fai h.
He was now ruined through his good
heart Caught in the swirl of Walkers
sinking and drawn down, Mckinley was
the victim of Walkers mismanagement
ali this said the syndicate and much
more of the same boshy, fulsome sort,
at the same time preventing the publce-
ton OF the story OF Walkers affairs.
The local Ohio papers are most worldly
b0ol.cks. used and wont to Kow Tow
TO Mark Hanna, so they were easily gag
ged.
But while the syndicate sang as above
and the general ear was filled With he
melody Of the Mckinley motive, as put
forth by the syndicate, these were the
cold facts; Mckinley was walkers
partner. lie was irving TO make money
as we'll he might-and, with that
plunging fnancler in score of enter
prlses. In the course Of their business.
which needed every dollar OF credit it
could get. for the firm of Mckinley e
Walker would seem to have had not
much else SIS assets, Mckinley 4 Wal
ker made S11S,000 worth of notes, which
were discounted by Walker.
At the time Mckinley signed these
notes he was, in fact, worth no more
han $4,000.
He knew his name wasn't, after the
first $4,000 worth o. notes were signed.
worth the paper he wrote it on. But
me banks, which discounted them,
didn't know It; so Mckinley kept sign
ing and signing until Walker failed: and
would have doubtless been signing yet
If that small cataclysm in Ohio business
circles hadn't occurred.
As to just how honest or how inno-
cent a man may be regarded. who. while
worth only $4,000, puts forth his PROM
issory paper to the round tune of s11S,-
600, one may leave business folk say.
Ii would not. perhaps, SIS a move in
finance, be IS boldly bad as giving S11S.-
coo worth Of checks when one has but
$4,000 in the bank. But it's a dress
pattern off the same bolt of cloth. and
that's what Mckinley in his "inno-
cance' did He innoeently arranged to
have a line of little. innocent banks
blindly carry the peril of his specula-
ton, while he took the profits, should
any such there be. Il was most 'sa-
gaciOuS system, eminently innocent. and
one which. when worked by less cele-
brated characters, comes sometimes TO
be called "bunco.'
Walker failed; liabilities. S225. 900:
Taylor was made assignee. and the fact
that Mckinley was down for s11S.OOO of
the failure was told.

YOUNG DEMOCRACY
Endorses What Old Democracy Says in
Favor of General Watts

Endorses W nat Old Democracy Says in
Favor of General Watts
To the Editor of the Register.
In communication in the Register
this morning from Marshall county
signed "Old Democracy" the name of
Gen. C. c. Watts is suggested as the only
logical candidate for the gubernatorial
nomination. AS one of the rank and
file of the party, permit me through
the columns of your paper to lend nay
humble endorsement to the sentiments
expressed by Old Democracy, and to
say furthermore that with Gen. Watts
as the standard bearer there would be
such shaking up OF the dry bones OF
the old party that there would be no
doubt of the result in November next.
While ii is true General Watts is now
holding lucrative position in the fed
eral service as United States District At
torney, am in position to know that
he would not be ayerse to giving up mis-
position TO accept the nomination for
Governor, should the delegates to the
convention see fit to bestow it upon
him, and hope it will be the pleasure
of the delegates from Ohio county par
ticularly to give him their support.

at frst said nothing. Then, he gave
way to that common promise in bank
ruptcy-it is never, by the way, ap-
praised or listed as a resource by the
assignee-and said ne would pay every
dollar before he died" Then on the
third day, the goth OF February, 1893, he
went to Cleveland, and saw Hanna.
The syndicate had been in session be-
fore Mckinley arrived. Without I'M
dertaking to state the details of their
debate, it is enough to say that they
had decided to continue their hunt for
the Presidency, and their syndication
of Mckinley to that high end. But, OF
course, these debts must be paid. His
canvass would turn lame and halt, in
deed, with these debts clamoring open
mouthed for settlement. The syndicate
decided. therefore, that the notes with
the Mckinley signature must be taken
up-$11S,00 and interest.
This looks like a big sum, but when
considered in the light of the game be-
ing played and still in progress, with
many symptom of ultimate syndicate
success, It isn't. These people were and
are gambling for White House.

We camo to this town in 1855,
apd have boon actively engaged
in the newspaper business ever
since that time.
In 1862 we started tho Weekly
Register, and have been almost
continuously at its holm, for now
nearly thirty four years.
Many years ago our friend Dep
uty County CIerk, Joseph III. Hol
loway, was "cub" or "devil" in
the Register Office, (and good boy
he was too) and somo ono wanted
to purchase the Office, and we re-
fused to sell. Joe said TO US "you
bettor sell tho Register, when such
good prico is offered for it, as
papers had but little show in this
county" Wo answered him by
saying "wo wore satisfied with tho
Investment, and that we would yet
publish daily paper in Point
Pleasant. Our words have como
true, and for tho past year, we, in
connection with our son, havo boon
publishing as spicy and nowsy a
daily as is to bo found in any town
along tho Ohio River of thribble the
population of Point Pleasant, and
we arc glad to say that it grows
in favor, and gots moro popular
every day IL is printed. Wo have
not grown rich at the business, but
still we havo managed to live de
comfy, and to pay our bills as they
become due. Thirty four years is a
long timo to be engaged in tho
newspaper business, but as it is our
chosen profession, we expect to re.
main in tho harness until we are
"calIed homo"
1t has become tho custom among
newspaper mon to publish cut
of themselves, and we hopo We will
not be considered egotistical be
cause we publish a picture of our.
