BILE to find a public record of such

Mr.. Turner's chief considerations have

During the eighteen months ending

sum Of $5S9,O67. 40 in sums ranging

Lam in receipt of a letter from
Mr.. w. N. Snaffer of Paulding
relative to an incident in counec-
ton with the former administra-
ton of the banking department,
to which I have made the reply
attached herewith.
Insofar as Mr.. Shaffer, or any
other individual is concerned, we
have in this campaign no special
interest and certainly had and
have no desire to reflect upon
them. The real matter in inter-
est is the remarkable character
of the conduct of the state bank
ing department under the admin
istration of James M. Cox as gov
ernor and Emery Lattanner, fis
bank superintendent.
Ia all the history of Ohio 10 de,
partment has ever been so NAL
administered as this one during
the governorship of Mr.. Cox.
Let me illustrate:
Pictures of the governor and
others were framed and paid for
from the funds of a closed bank.
The repayment of this money
was enforced during this admin
istration.

sum of. SAT, 1887, not approved
by the courts, We're allowed. An
example Of the unreasonableness
of such allowances is shown by
the fact that in one case where

reduced the allowances in the,
sum of So, 300, And the judge,
in passing on these extravagant
allowances, said: 'It was no
doubt the idea of the superinten-

The trouble was the conditions

ideas were erroneous and wrong.

Dear Sir: beg to acknowledge
receipt Of your letter of October

bill for an Overcoat by a check
drawn by you, as Deputy Super
intendent of Banks, on funds of

ton.
In reply, I beg to state that the
facts ale that this overcoat was
billed to an employee, other than
yourself, in the banking depart
ment in the liquidation of this
bank. His name was omitted
for publication simply because of
the feeling that the material fact
was that the overcoat bill was
paid by a check from these funds.
We did not and do not claim
that you received the overcoat in
