the time that is really necessary for
| its consideration. 1 want to look it
| over thoroughly before I pass on it.
| I do not know whether the bond is
sound or not, but 1 hope it is
| ''If we do that roared back Supt.
| Dayhoff, angry in a minute, "In have
to slip away again. I have an i'm
portant appointment at Norton on
| Thursday
Break it, laconically said the
governor. looking serious and an
noyed.
II don't believe in doing that way
! answered back the uperintendent.
Il cancel lots of dates said the
governor, land in this instance there
is nothing else for you to do but break
| y our appointment at Norton and stay
here. This matter is important"
| ''Well, I am ready this afternoon
retorted Dayhoff, but if the hoard
insists on waiting until tomorrow to
Lake this matter up, I'll stay"
II notice. said Governor Hoch then,
that some of these signers have not
put the amounts opposite their names.
How about it?"
"A surety" replied Attorney General
! Coleman, has the right to limit his
| liability by writing the amount after
his name. If he fails to do so his liza
bility is unlimited up to the penalty of
the bond
Secretary of State Burrow at this
| point made a motion that the council
noon at 2 o'clock, with the under
standing that the different members
take the time on Thursday morning to
| look into the financial standing of the
| bondsmen. Attorney General Coleman
seconded the motion and it carried.
The meeting broke up with laughter
and the best feeling. In fact the only
time at which any temper was dis
| played was in the little bout between
Hoch and Dayhoff over today's meet
| ing. Kelly and the governor were on
! the best of terms apparently, laughing
and joking with school-boy freedom.
The governor in no way indicated any
intention of "going after the present
treasurer, or naming some other man
before the council to take his place.
Bond Was Big.
When the executive council went
into session on Wednesday afternoon,
Kelly's total bond up to that time was
$s12;OOO. 4 message from Robert
fore Kelly just after the meeting had
started, which added another $25,OOO
to the bond. Judge Otis L. Atherton
of Russell county came into the secre-
tary of states office while the meeting
was in progress and signed for $40, 900
This made the total bond on Wednes-
day night, 1857, 600. More is to come in
today, according to Mr.. Kelly.
Just after the council meeting ad-
iourned. Kelly showed this telegram to
the newspaper men in the room:
Horton, Kan, July 81.
After reading papers am willing to
go on your bond for $1,000.
D. H. CLEMENT
A merchant at Horton; one who is
straight Democrat and voted against
you.
Il am satisfied said Mr.. Kelly with
great jubilation after the meeting was
over. Il have furnished my bond and
1t is a good one. There can be no
question regarding the worth of the
men who signed it. I know that it is
perfectly sound. There is no question
in my mind about that The bond is
larger than I thought it would be, be-
cause more of the papers came in than
anticipated by this afternoon. I know
that the BOND is perfectly sound and
| will be accepted. 1 am ready to have
\ the council act at any time"
