as fair for Mr.. Meyer as for myself,

which will place Mr.. Meyer further
in the lead.

count will show a material change

Friends have rallied to my sup

through the campaign and others
who did not, and have pledged funds
to bear the expense OF the recount;
therefore there is nothing left for me

my action in filing notice. I will con-
