two such contributions, one of $500, and
one OF $1,000 today with letters explaining
bis attitude. The larger gift game from
Abraham Abraham, a Brooklyn mer-
chant, and was returned with the follow
ing note:
II have decided not to use dollar In
this election and you will understand ma

SO good and so proper OF you TO send

A similar letter went to Schuyler Par
