be remembered that Mr.. Monet was the
Republican attorney general of Ohio
and as sueh prosecuted trusts under the

a Republican efffceho,der, as to attract
the attention and win the confidence of
the whole country. Not unna turaIly the

not the kind of game they suspected hiEt
to be-he refused their offer and pushed
his prosecutions. When the trusts re-
allied that he was rot a striker" but
an honest Official, they 6ethouSht them
