| You fellows sell the bonds" said he.
'and Norris will be perfectly willing to

Going at the rate the committees

listed. the apportionment for the city
aud its vicinity will be subscribed.
But the statesmen have a quarter OF 4

task
Wesman's Team High in City.
II. A. Weisman's team has to date
outdiFtanced all the other city teams,
partly for the reason that Mr.. Wcis-
man had a very large territory, and
more especially for the reason that his
statesmen have been working longer
hours and harder probably than any of
the others He had the First ward. When
W. G. Stricken. who had the Second
ward. saw his pack Of cards, he
thought it was too many for any one
committee, SO the general committee
transferred the territory east of Sec
ono street to Center street to Weis-
man. The latter's report Of 100000 OF
bonds sold was the result
Fred NJ Wilbur's team, which had
the Third ward. was second. He re-
ported $4,000 TO date with the ward
only partly worked. He and other sub
chairmen complained that they
developed prospects and followed the
individuals to the banks only to see
the transaction closed over the bank
counters. The sub-chairmen were
taking credit for these sales.
To ease the sub cha!rmeu's minds on
this subject Cashier II. X. Denmead.
OF the First National Bank, said that
his bank was making inquiry Of every
individual who, applied for bonds. and
i i We're found that some solicitor
mad solicited the person a memorandum
was made of each case and the COM
mittee would get credit for the sub
scription.
Country Committee Does Well.
". G. Strickler who had most Of
the Second ward. reported $4,000 and
L. c. Abbott. whose district was the
Fourth and Fifth wards. reported 3d.
900. One Of the very interesting in
cidents Of the campaign in the Fourth
| ward was that Of foreign born shoe
maker, who left his shop long enough
TO 90 to the bank and take 81, 900 worth
Of the bonds.
| GIr. Abbott complained, and the
| ground for his complaint was quite
! general with other sut,- cha irnen. that
| not nearly all the solicitors who should
| have worked were working. The cam
| paign will only be a success, Mr.. Norris
| pointed out when every man who is
| on a committee goes to work not less
| than two or three afternoons begin
| ming with next Monday.
a grand showing was made by Sena-
| tor W. H. Arney's committees. which
| have been working in the country, on
the the rural mail routes of this city
One committee reported $4,000 from
| part of one rural route in Timber
Creek township. Another reported
more than $4,000 on a route toward
Marietta, and it was only partly work

| .. L. 1ngledue, on the committee
| which worked in Timber Creek town

scriptions for $1,000 each without a
refusal. Both he and Judge b. F

eta route, reported that so far they
had not been refused by q single Ger
man. Judge Cummings said the far
mers were responding nobly. That lee
E. L. Monohon, who had evidently
found some hard cases on his route, >tc
invite the judge to come and help his
committee. The judge took him up or
the spot with the significant comment
that, THE court has a persuasive way
OF talking &c some CT THESE prospects.
The very good suggestion was made
by Mr.. Ingledue that each country
committee should have with 1t ONT
bank officer. When the question o.
terms and rate for loans on bonds i.
raised, as it always is, the banker cal
at once settle the question to the satis
