WAS JEFF BAYTS SLAVE Interesting Delegate to the National Busi ness Among the interesting men who are in Chicago as delegates to the meeting of the National Afro-American Business League, is Isalah T. Montgomery, who was a slave of Jefferson Davis, AFRO- and will now is the mayor of the town of Mound Bayon, Miss., a flourishing town which he has founded and 'built up since the war. Mr. Montgomery tells many entertaining stories about the life on the Davis plantation, one of the largest and most remarkable of the great cotton plantations in the entire South. He was a foreman on the place, and he himself was taken into the house" at an early age to be made a "house" servant. Because he showed unusual aptitude he was taught to read and write, and in time became a sort of office boy for Joseph Davis, the older brother of Jefferson Davis, coming in this way to have an intimate household and of many of the business and political matters in which his masters were interested. The Davis plantation comprised many thousand acres, lying in a huge bend of the Mississippi river. There were two plantation houses, named "Briarfields," and "Hurricane," the last named so because at one time a hurricane had swept over the place, doing great damage. The affairs of the plantation were managed by the older brother, "Mr. Joe," while "Mr. Jeff" NDER WALTERS, Afro-American Council. spent much of his time away from home, occupied with political affairs at Washington and elsewhere. "Mr. Jeff" was a wonderful man, both as a speaker and a writer." Mr. Montgomery has said of him. "He could say more in one sentence than most men could say in half a page." There were 400 slaves on the plantation, divided into two squads called "the upper" and "the lower." Each had its own overseer, and there was great rivalry between the overseers and the men to see which division would come out ahead on the crops. The management of the place was so great and kindly that Mr. Montgomery, in speaking only, says the people on the place had only the one of what slavery really was. The overseers were not allowed to punish anyone of their own accord. They made complaint to the owner of the place, and then, on certain days—usually Sundays—a "court" was held, in which all the cases which had come up were heard. "Mr. Joe" was the judge and decided what should be done in each case. The Davis plantation had a landing of its own near the house, at which the smaller river boats could die up, but the larger boats—including those which varried the mails—stopped at a landing three miles down the river.

We denounce him as a dangerous fire-brand who is enlisted to note the friends of the race in the North to murder and other unlawful acts and thus justify his own barbarism. We suggest that a man who stands before the American *people*, a self-confessed thief and murderer, is not the proper person to lecture Northern communities on civic virtue and the duties of citizenship. We urge the Afro-American people to be law-abiding, industrious and saving; to educate their children; to support worthy enterprises conducted by members of their own race, and while realizing the difficulties which beset them, to be of good cheer; for they never were so prosperous as they are today, and the civil and political rights ARIOUS $2.40 PER YEAR.

After the war had begun he used to stop on his way back and take the papers out of the room. He knew how to know what the latest war news was. On the morning that Jefferson Davis started to go to Montgomery, Ala., to be inaugurated president of the confederacy, Mr. Montgomery was one of the two men who rowed him down to take the steamer. They were late in getting away from the house, and long ago heard the steamer "blow," that landed heard the steamer "blow," that landed in the South. Knowing that they could not reach the landing in time, Mr. Davis had them steer out into midstream to meet the steamer as she came along. The captain of the boat had been expecting Mr. Davis that morning, and when he saw the small boat he stopped the steamer and took him on board. When Mr. Montgomery was asked if Mr. Davis seemed impressed at this time with the importance of the journey which he was undertaking, he said: "Nobody could possibly do it could what Mr. Jeff was thinking of by the expatriate on his face. That morning he was as pleasant and cheerful as could be, and apparently with nothing on his mind. He talked with us about our-being late, about the boat and all such things as that."

We hope the Afro-American and other colored members of the eu-mercial council, which meets in London shortly, will pass strong resolutions of praise, and commendation and also present a more substantial token, medal, cup or something to the many proprietor of that West End hotel who Afro taught those prejudiced white Americans such an excellent lesson. It seems that when these aforementioned natives of the "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave" heard that 200 Afro-Americans were coming to this hotel where they were staying, they were amazed and formally protested to the proprietor, assuring him that such a thing would not be permitted in the United States, and demanding that the Afro-Americans be accommodated in a separate part of the hotel. The proprietor declined to interfere. He said: "I could not think of offering an insult to such men as Bishop Derrick, New York; Bishop Tanner, Philadelphia; Bishop Gaines, Atlanta, and Bishop Arnett, Ohio. I told the Americans that when the Indian princes were here no one objected to meet them, and I do not propose to make any distinction at the expens of the Afro-Americans." It is very evident that those American snobs are as far beneath the Afro-Americans, who will be members of that council, as they feel themselves above them. And they need not run away from the hotel as some are preparing to do, as those distinguished gentlemen will not have time to pay any attention to their presence. THE APPEAL takes pleasure in reproducing an excellent article from the Indianapolis News on the career of Hon. Charles Gates Dawes, controller of the currency. In addition to the many good things contained in the article, we can say that Mr. Dawes has always shown a decided friendliness toward Afro-Americans. He has done many things to assist the race and is always ready to lend a helping hand to any worthy Afro-American. He never pushes a man to the front solely on account of his color, but if he finds that an Afro-American is well equipped and of strict integrity, no man will go further to secure proper recognition of these qualities than Charles Gates Dawes. At New Orleans Judge Somerville, of the civil district court, before whom the case of David J. Ryanes, an Afro-American against Jere Gleason, supervisor of registration, was on trial, has sustained the exceptions filed by Attorney General Gulon and dismissed the suit. This is the suit instituted at suggestion and expense of the National Afro-American Council to test the constitutionality of the suffrage clause of the Louisiana constitution by which ninety per cent of the Afro-Americans are disfranchised. The case will be carried up to the supreme court of the United States. The Republic of Haiti will celebrate its one hundredth anniversary in 1902. Recognizing the importance of the event, the National Afro-American Council at its recent meeting appointed a commission to represent the Council on that occasion. The commission is as follows: Bishop Alexander Walters, T. Thomas Fortune, Cyrus Field Adams, John C. Dancy, John W. Thompson, Ernest Lyon, George E. Wibecan, Jr. A number of daily papers all over the country have been misrepresenting the speech of T. Thomas Fortune at the Press Convention at Philadelphia. He did not tell the Afro-Americans to arm against the whites. He said every householder ought to have a Winchester and defend his home to the death. The destiny of every Afro-American in the North is identified with that of his Southern brother. If the Southern Democrats succeed in wrestling the franchise from the people of the race in the South, the same thing will be tried in the North.

Afro-American Delegates to the International Eumenical Council in London Meet With Sweet Christina Treatment at the Hands of Thei Lorai Countrymen—From St. Paul Dally Globe. CAMPAIGN OF 1896 BROUGHT MIM TO THE FRONT. Methods of Conducting His Office of Comp troiler of the Currency and of Making Appointments Interesting Review of His Career. There is no more interesting character among the numerous men thrust suddenly into prominence by the presi- sion of the 1896 than Charles Gates Dawes, who has handed resignation as Comproller of the Currency to the President, as a preliminary step toward entering the race for United States Senator in Illinois. Dawes, 1896, was forty years old. His short, stridely accented briefness lawyer to a national cam- paign, molding a presidential campaign, and from this eminence taking charge of the national banking system of the country, was accomplished before he reached thirty-five years of age. Born and educated in the wholesome atmosphere of the quiet college city of Marietta, Ohio, sprung from an an-empire "from among England, into the course of empire" from among England, into the Northwest territory, associated in boyhood with a family of surveyors, engineers, and railroad projectors, it is not strange that an instinct as well as a commercial adventure should have led to completing a course at the Cincinnati Law School, to the West to locate. His professional venture was made in the same field and as a neighbor with the firm of the former's aspirations followed the commercial trail, while the latter's scented politics. It has been said that Mr. Dawes entered the Comprtroner's office without permission, and this task. This is not true. He was early a student of commercial and financial "THAT PERSON TO STOP HERE, LANDLORD? IMPOSSIBLE!!" WEALTHY AMERICAN SNOB Afro-American Delegates to the Internationals Hands of subjects. Before he had reached thirty he was attorney for several national banks, a director of one, and had written a book on national banking, which, barring a single confusion of the terms with that of the Comptroller of the Treasury (a common error), was a valuable and interesting book on the subject. In the campaign of 1896 his suggestions made the basis for some strong literature in opposition to free silver. He went into office better equipped, maps, than many of his predecessors. In Lincoln, Neb., Mr. Dawes combined law, real estate speculation, surveying, bookkeeping, and bank directing with more or less success until an investment in a gas plant at Evanston began. He had scarcely passed thirty when the McKinley campaign for the presidential nomination came on. He had resided in Evanston less than two years, but he remembered the future President as one of his father's colleagues in Congress, and one of his friends in the state's characteristic boldness in politics, challenged the friends of Senator Cullom in the Republican State organization, on their chosen ground, and defeated them. Every Congressional district in Cook County, except the Seventh District, was instructed for Cullom for President. But when that district held its convention there was a surprise. The State Republican organization ican B was routed and two McKinley detergents chosen—the first distinctively McKinley victory in that state. The result was pleasing to Mr. Hannah. Mr. Hannah was summoned to Coyleland and placed in charge of the campaign in Illinois. Then followed a series of brilliant victories, culminating at the State convention in the defeat of the State Republican organization, Cullom, and in resolutions indorning McKinley. The Illinois victory came at a time when its influence was al- HON. CHARLES G. DAWES. most decisive, or at least far-reaching, toward anticipating the St. Louis convention. All this was accomplished in the school of the results was little past thirty years, a citizen of the state. One of the results was to suggest the naming of Mr. Dawes on the national executive committee, where his bold initiative impressed the qualities impressed his colleagues, all of whom were older than himself. "O SAY, HOW, YOU KNOW" ENGLISH LANDLORD National Ecumenical Council in London Meet of Their Paler Countrymen.—From St. Paul Dal Mr. Dawes declined the place of secretary to the President, for he had cherished an ambition from the time he left college, born of a predilection for the arts, to become Comptroller of the Currency. In office, Mr. Dawes has become immensely popular personally. His is not a strenuous nature; his methods are deliberate, but his decisions are careful. He has executed the execution. He speaks, eats and walks slowly, laughs heartily, seldom or never worries, dresses in plain style, like a Fedora hat pulled low over his forehead, a big cigar with his draws in hand. He is not easily pressured less as if it was his first attempt. At his home on K street he surrounds himself in his hours of relaxation with a company of congenial politicos and businessmen, and they smoke and talk. He is the most popular host in Washington with the politicians. Mrs. Dawes is an unaffected little woman, with black hair and a blue shirt, a gentle gent of her husband and his politician friends. She seems to derive as much pleasure from seeing them comfortable as they take from their comfort in her home. The Comproller has two bright colors and a girl, just entering the school area. A few stories will illustrate Mr. Dawes characteristics: When one of the largest trust companies in New York was organizing two years ago, Mr. Dawes received an offer of $25,000 a year to go as an Continued on4th Page.

The resolution further declared, that the republican party, the leader Liberties broader statemanship and broader national ideas, and the administration of President McKinley is strongly indorsed. It is declared to be without an equal since those of Jefferson, Monroe, Lincoln and Grant. WAS JEFF DAVIS SLAVE (Continued From First Par.) Mr. Montgomery speaks in the highest terms of Mrs. Davis and her life and of her husband, a consecrated Christian woman, he says, "Mrs. Davis is one. When she was at the place she would come out and spend hours talking over plans and spend hours planning what would he best for them." After the close of the war, and the plantation had returned into the possession of the Davis family, Mr. Montgomery had been a man, and in this way his son had a valuable experience in learning to manage such a place. Later he decided that a colony of Afro-Americans had been established on his own self. He secured control of a large tract of land in the Yazoo river valley, and gradually built-up a community there which is prosperous and happy. He had several thousand acres of land there, and many of have comfortable homes. Mr. Montgomery was appointed mayor of the town, which they name Mound Bayou. They own a business in the business enterprises, and the place is increasing in size and prosperity constant, and at the same time is furnishing an object lesson to other Afro-Americans. If they will go about it in the same practical, common-sense way. The town has a good school, at the head of which is a graduate of Booker T. Washington's institute at Tuskegee, Ala. Isaiah T. Montgomery represented his town and state at the session of the National Afro-American Business League in Boston last year, where the papers spoke of him as one of the most interesting speakers present. TALKS OF SUING TILLMAN Marinette, Wis., Aug. 17. -Attorneys Devney and Hutchinson have been retained by the Rev. M. A. Easton, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion church, of Doudt Hall, and Senator Tillman, for his address here recently against Afro-Americans and in favor of lynchings. The lawyers are now looking up the facts, and will begin action as soon as the papers can be drawn. He made at the Opera House last night he said that Tillman secured the office of United States Senator by murder and arson. He read editorial articles from many newspapers, and he asserted these assertions. Mr. Easton closed by saying that if every slaveholder before the war had received the punishment of hanging for assaults on black women there would have been no war. In the South would have been dead.

St Paul has Half of Minnesota Afro-Ameri can Population In a recent issue of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the leading daily of Minnesota, the following article appeared: Minnesota, according to the statistics compiled by the United States census bureau, has an Afro-American population of 4,958. One-half of the Afro-Americans of the state live in St. Paul, or, in exact figures of the census, the IN TH Afr-American population of St. Paul is 2,303. Prominent St. Paul Afro-Americans claim that these figures are inaccurate. Authorities claim the Afro-American population of St. Paul is over 2,900. The Afro-American citizen of St. Paul is a man of substance, and his wife is generally refined, educated and resourceful. Forty-five per cent of the population is United States citizens, there not a city in the United States, where comparatively so few of the "common Negro." A larger percentage live in their own homes than in any other city in the country, and in no city in the United States is there so large a substantial and even elegant homes owned by Afro-Americans. The St. Paul Afro-Americans besides being home builders and owners, are business men. Many of them, oversee life, have amassed a scramble of every day life, have organized tunes and scores of them enjoy competences. One of St. Paul's Afro-American citizens is reputed to be worth $200,000, and quite a number of them are involved more than $50,000. In the industrial life of St. Paul the Afro-American is found in nearly all of the avenues. The St. Paul Afro-American has succeeded in medicine, law, surgery, dentistry, photography, pedagogy, newspaper publishing, and the municipal and government service. He has a place in the police department, the municipal court, the fire department and the mail service. He has carried carriers to special clerks. He has filled them all with credit. A St. Paul Afro-American photographer was selected by the national government to tour the United States to prepare the government exhibit for the Paris exposition. In the purely commercial lines, the Afro-American of St. Paul have embarked and succeeded admirably in the most diversified enterprises. Some of the best businesses in the best trade in the city and are among the finest establishments. After that the range of the Afro-American's business ventures in St. Paul grade from the manipulation of railroad and restaurant ownership of restaurants and saloons, to who hold salaried positions the range of employment is from railroad claim agents down. Five hundred Afro-American living in St. Paul are employed by the railroads centering in the city. The number of Afro-American as porters in charge of sleeping cars, which throws upon them the responsibilities of a conductor. And it is to this road that they assign much of the building of the city in a community that twenty years ago had almost no Afro-American. The St. Paul'Afro-American is especially happy in his home and church life. Many of the Afro-American St. Paul's graduates of Fisk and Willowfield colleges greater number are graduates of the high schools; and a St. Paul girl is among the leaders of her class at the University of Minnesota. The lawless and dissolute element has been reduced to a few. Paul'Afro-American's social life embraces a degree of culture and refinement not equaled anywhere in America. He does not crave, but rather fears that he does not have their own clubs and social and fraternal organizations, and his successes in the fields of commerce and the professions are rapidly winning him the business standing necessary to put him on a common plan of competition with his fellow white fellow citizen. In their churches they have set a high mask for their race throughout the civilized world. Three of their churches, the Episcopal, Methodist and Roman Catholics, are militant can ministers. The Afro-American Roman Catholics are ministered to by a white priest. Their churches are not encumbered with heavy debts, and the ministry in St. Paul has ever been so successful that has so frequently militated against the success of the race in other cities. They that have learned of the Lord Jesus to be lowly and humble of heart, profit more by meditation and prayer reading and hearing.

The manance lasts some time before the curtain is rung down on the scene. Of course opera glasses, though hardly necessary, a plain view, have been used to give the audience indifferently to the sensation they are creating. Their actions are all the more surprising, as they are easily recognized and are certainly old enough to be seen. The exhibition for the time being goes all work in the neighborhood.

The Tattler heard a prominent citizen say the other day: "I have two lovely girls but I don't allow them to attend dances, where music is furnished by a string band. I have a distinct and settled theory concerning music. I believe that those dreamy waltzes are more conductive to immortality than any other agency that can be named. My girls are good lookers, and I believe pure minded and honest. But we must not believe our clay is marble and the wise father is the one who quietly remembers the decisions from the times of his offspring say the lies in his lower, I am convinced from a close study of the question and from inquiry, that a gentle waltz played on string instruments has a strange and dangerous effect upon young women. It steals through the feminine system like a drug and robs a girl of her self-control. In conjunction with moonlight, I think a well played waltz can make a fool out of about nine girls out of ten. When my girls wish to dance to the music of a piano I don't object. I'm not afraid of the piano. Its the violin and a well that do the unachieved. Their notes sink despite to the heart, and a girl hearing them feels at once like loving all mankind." "Well, how about the effects of waltz music on men?" asked The Tattler. "It makes beats of prey of them," was the reply. "What I have said concerning music is not based entirely on the music itself, but considerable personal experience and I say keep the girls away from the men out of their songs of passion."

Washington on Wednesday, at the opening of the League, was an effort of unusual force and was received with applause by the large crowd. We make the following extracts: "This is not a league of orators but of workers. The main portion of the talking will be done by those who have actually succeeded in business. We tell us what they themselves have failed to do. I trust we shall never make the mistake of overloading our organization with useless and complicated machinery, nor in our deliberation, the weight of the end for which we assemble. "Since our first meeting it has been most gratifying to note the widespread influence that this organization has had among our people in all of the states, and in all of the countries has, in the starting of new business enterprises in nearly all of the states and in the establishment of ~local business leagues in scores of towns and cities. . . . as in most parts of the world, I note that the Afro-American who does something and possesses something is respected by both races. Usefulness in the community in which we live will constitute our most lasting and most potent protection." "Let us never become discouraged. The great white race in whose midst we live did not reach its present business position in a day. If our vision is clear, our will strong, we will use the very obstacles that often come to a higher and more useful life." “As a race we must learn more and more that the opinion of the world regarding us is not much influenced by what we say of ourselves, or by what others say of us, but it is permanently influenced by actual, tangible, visible results. The object lesson of one honest Afro-American succeeding magnificently in each community in some business or industry is worth a hundred abstract speeches in securing opportunities for the race.” “In our enterprises let us not be overambitions to start at the top. We must begin in a small, simple manner, at the bottom. Better begin little and grow big than the reverse. We want to learn the lesson of small things and small beginnings. We must not feel ourselves above the most arduous occupation or the simple and humble beginning. No race or individual can succeed that does not sacrifice to-day for to-morrow—that does not plan this year for the next. Thoroughness, honesty, efficiency are qualities that are universally recognized.” BUSINESS LEAGUE NOTES. The display of the Howard Manufacturing Company—a Chicago Afro-American concern—was very creditable in every way. Dr. Taylor, the city attorney, delivered a splendid address of welcome on behalf of Mayor Carter H. Harman, who was absent on his annual visit. The absence of oratorical display was quite noticeable during the sessions of the League—a plain, matter-of-fact presentation of subjects characterizing the discussions of the League. Messrs. L. F. Baldwin of Boston, Rev. W. R. Pettiford of Birmingham, Ala.; Mrs. B. Jackson of Richmond, Mo.; Mrs. B. Jackson of Kansas City, Mo. were pleasant visitors to the APEAL office this week. Mr. Gles B. Jackson, of Richmond, Va. read a splendid paper Wednesday abounding in statistics which showed clearly that the Afro-Americans Dominion produced three-fourths of the wealth of that commonwealth. Illinois was ably represented on the floor by Ex-County Commissioner Theodore W. Jones, L. G. Wheeler, V. F. Taylor, Oscar Dearp, C. H. Harman, Marvelon, Carroll, J. L. Parks, Mar. Alberta M. Smith and S. B. Turner. Tuesday evening Prof. Booker T. Washington arrived in the city and took up his headquarters at the Palm Beach campus, where he him the officers of the League and at an informal luncheon discussed affairs connected with the League. The point of order-men and the parlamentarians were conspicuous by their presence at the League of the National Business Leagues, such absurd and foolish practices, which characterize most gatherings of the American were gathered by and entirely EVERY Mother With a family to buy Shoes for should trade here.

CASTORIA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Ex-County Commissioner Theodore W. Jones' paper, read at the Wednesday session, was an affirmative answer to the grave question, "Can the Afro-American Success in Business?" The answer, his presentation, of this question was very able and convincing, and THE APPEAL regrets very much that its limited space prevents the reproduction of his splendid paper in full. The Rev. W. L. Taylor, of Richmond, Va., president of the order of True Reformers', made a clear and detailed exposition of the workings of that organization, and sand members own one bank, four stores; 500 acres of land, forty lots in Richmond, one newspaper, and have raised $2,500,000 in the past thirty and have paid out in sick and death benefit claims more than $2,000,000. Among the large number of delegates who attended the National Business League THE APPEAL noticed—Thomas Fortune, Mississippi; Thomas Fortune, New York; E. Cooper, Washington, D. C.; G. C.

Although his salary as Comptroller of the Currency is $5,000, with $1,000 in his salary as the Freedmen's fund, he declined. Commenting afterward on this step, he remarked: "I have determined when I leave . . . his office not to go to the head of a bank, as most of my predecessors have done. I have not applied to many men as receivers, attorneys, etc., whose salary is greater than his own. When a vacancy occurred in the office of Deputy Comptroller two years ago, I had not applied from politicians poured into caring the faithful private secretary, Thomas F. Kane, who had been in the department many years and was familiar with the work of the office, Mr. Kane, who had been the new deputy by promotion to one in this office, for merit. I am going to name over the men and I want your opinion." He spoke highly but truthfully of his associates in turn. When he had finished Mr. Dawes said: "Take a letter to Secretary Gale." The Comptroller dictated as follows: "Dear Sir: I hereby recommend for appointment as deputy Comptroller of the Currency to Murray, resigned, Thomas F. Kane." Kane paused in his hishand. But there was no mistake. He was a good officer," said Mr. Dawes. "I never heard him speak in jealousy or unkindness toward one of his associates. He was too good a man to be kept at a typewriter all his life." He was an excellent administrative officer, and acted successfully as Comptroller in many trying cases. It must be admitted, as insisted by some politicians, that much "practical politics" in some appointments Mr. Dawes has made, but there seems to be something very much akin to the spirit of civil service reform." Bishop, "let us call him, not to seem personal, had been an old schoolmate of the Comptroller. He stood at the head of his class in everything. He held a desk and a routine job in the office. He was the Comptroller's once. He was a specialist of high rank, but in a groove. One day, when Bishop had no special reason to believe that his old classmate, Dawes, was thinking of him, he responded to the Treasury Department. "I have a place for you at twice your present salary. Go and resign at once," said Mr. Dawes. "But you may any assistance to you politically" he replied. "I don't care about that. The public service needs men like you." Bishop went. He has made a splendid effort to get recognition for Bishop: "That man always stood at the head of his class. He can beat me in all the studies. He is one of that large class of able men who some day get true recognition for their talents." Another "friend of former days" was discovered superintending a building in a Western city. He had stood on the bar and in business in a far Western city. He stranded him stranded, and seeking his fortune in a new locality he finally took the superintendent's position to sustain his family. Mr. Dawes recommended him to the trust. Three months he dug out an authority which revolutionized the practice of receivers and saved several thousands to the trust. His official work over, he became a useful member of a large commercial law firm in an Eastern city. The strange thing about Mr. Dawes' appointments is that the appointees are scattered over the country far from Illinois, and only a few of them have a medical service in return. But almost without exception, they have proved useful public servants. In practical politics Mr. Dawes is fond of conceiving and executing bold maneuvers, though startling, generally prove in the end his excellent judgment. In the Illinois State convention of 1900 Dawes was present, alder Senator Cullom's re-election. His personal popularity with the delegates was a major factor in the debate between the Senator's followers and Gov. Tanner's for the organization was close. Finally the Menomini men declared Dawes must make the fight for temporary chairman. He declined because he was a federal offender. He believed that it was necessary to save the day. "If Senator Cullom thinks it is necessary," said Mr. Dawes, "I'll make the race to oblige him, but do you gentlemen know what my defeat would be to the administration as a rebuke to the administration? I am a federal officerholder and the President's friend. I call you to witness now that if I fail to be elected chairman I immediately resign as Comptroller." The majority was a close one, but Mr. Dawes was all the right. All he man do not doubt that in the contingency he would have promptly resigned—J. A. M. in Indianapolis News.
