Their disgust with such efforts is thereby silently man. ifested but there are not few who are resenting such apeals and not doing go silently but publicly. That many would return them with their open opposition to any such plan made clear was to be | expected but there are those who have seen fit to send their replies by way of the New York Herald. ]. 1 On the card that will be forwarded to the Fisher headquarters, and first sent to the Herald Theodore L. Bristol of 1nsonia, Conn, wrote:

 On another card, returned by Rev Fred Sidney Mayer of Baltimore in thu 'slme way appears:
