Gideon W. Marsh. in his state
ment made before he entered upon
the service of his sentence of II
years in the Eastern penitentiary,
exhonerated Hon. John Wanna
maker, of all connection with the
K1ySone RSpk k of questionable
n4ture, as was reported. BY the
rFtatement OF Marsh, Wanamaker
himself was a victim of the fraud
nlent work of the bank as is shown
by the convict bankers statement.
Marsh in that part of his state
ment that relates to Waramaker
says:
sHaye you any objections to an
swering a question about alleged
oyerissue of stock ~
~ have no objection to telling
the truth about anything with
which | am familiar"
"Was the deficit Of q million
dollars of which you speak as hav-
ing existed when you became presi-
dent caused by Mr.. Lucas specu'
lation in Reading Railroad stockN'
None of it was caused by that
as keystone Bank stock alone was
used as collateral in that transac
tiOn.'
!What about the shares of stock
that are said to have been trans
ferred to Mr.. Wanamaker -
.TThey were transferred to hin
for the purpose of securing lOar
for Mr.. Lucas at the Girard Trust
Company, which was subsequently
paid"
.Did Mr.. Wanama' er own stOct
in the bank, and was he director
at one time? 20
"He never was either a director
or stocs holder
.Did he know about the stocl
which he held being overissueC
stock 20
"Until the eve of the ban','s fail
ure I am quite sure he did no
know of the fraudulent characte
OF the certificates.
"What about his knowledge o
the City Treasurer's relations will

$50 far as have any knowledge
he knew nothing about the Cit!
lTreasurer's relations to the bank
We we're not in the habit of mai
ing those things Enown."
"To whom did you allude as tn
party who had received the larg
amounts from the bank ~
"H. II. Yard" replied Marsh
"a large part of his overdrafts wa
prior to my presidency"

It is really an insult to the intelli-

that our ever expanding and

wrecked when they are extended

The man who confesses to such a
belief confesses to a general lack
of faith. He is not at heart true
republican. He does not think
that our form of government is
the best possible form. or he would
not say that it must fail where
others have succeeded. Our
Southern fellow citizens know that
it is the best, and that the best
must prevail. They have given
us all good example of faith and
loyalty.

keep his mother and little sisters

the house of refuge. The other
case was that of a young woman,
with money and influential friends,
who persistently stole silverware
and other yaluables from a hotel
and was released without trial.

COTTON.

~
New York, Dec. 27.-As was ex-
pected, the market this morning was
without the slightest feature. First
sales were about at Fridays closing
figures, and consisted of a very few
bales. Cables were down a shade
for futures, with very little doing in
spots. Prices rose points after the
opening on small local buying. Ca
bles were 1-2 lower for futures, un-
changed for spots; sales 5000, Yarns
at Manchester dull, but steady; in
cloths there was very little doing.
Transactions today were of a scalp
ing nature. The holiday feeling was
still in evidence, and both sides were
hesitating. A similar condition is
expected to prevail until after Janu-
ary I'd. The final figures showed ]
to points net advance. Exports
21 900. southern spot markets un-
changed.

JEFF DAVIS IN 1888.

4
correspondent with President Me-
Kinley during his southern tour
says of the reception at Montgom-
cry, Ala; Never was a more
cordial welcome extended any Wis
itor." THE president was visibly
affected and was gratiied in the
extreme" 1.-THE civil war is un-
doubtedly over" he suggested to
Gov. Johnston as they drove from
the capitol through the applauding
throngs which filled the broad
avenues. THE capitol building,
on the steps of which jefferson
Davis was inaugurated as the only
president of the Confederate States,
was eiaborately bedecked in the
national colors," says the Tribune
correspondent. In 1888 Jefferson
Davis delivered his last public ad-
dress at Mississippi City. He
pleaded for a reunited country" "
and it is gratifying, though long
time coming, to see President Nc
Kinley standing where Davis stood
some ten years ago. If the latter
had been alive when Mckinley ap-
peared at Montgomery on the spot
where Davis was inaugurated over
thirty FIVE years ago as chief of the
Confederacy, he would have joined
in the cordial, applauding recep-
tiOn to the peace-making head of
the reunited nation. Mr.. Davis
said at Mississippi City: y
Mr.. Chairman and fellow citi-
zens: All, pardon mel The laws
of the United States no longer per-
NIT me to designate you as fellow
citizens, but l am thankful that |
may address you as my friends. l
feel no regret that l stand before
you this afternoon a man without a
country, for my ambition lies bur-
led in the grave of the Confedera
cy. There have been consigned
not only my ambition, but the dog
mas uron which that government
was based. The faces | see before
me are those Of young men. Had
1 not known this 1 would not have
appeared before you. Men in whose
hands the destinies of our South
land lie, for love Of her break my
silence to speak to you few words
of respectful admonitiOn. The
past is dead-let it bury its dead,
its hopes and its aspirations; be-
fore you lies the future-a future
full of expanding national glory,
before which all the world shall
stand amazed. Let me beseech
you to lay aside all rancor, all bit
ter sectional feeling, and to take
your places in the ranks of those
who will bring about a consumma
ton devoutly to be desired-a re-
united country"
The Civil war was undoubtedly |
over, even when these words were
uttered. Nevertheless, the country
is glad that the President went to
Montgomery, that he was greeted |
with such sincere demonstrations
of popular good wishes and that
he found out that the Civil war
is undoubtedly over"
