Silcott s defalcation will unearth the

In a measuio they are losponsiblo for the
irregularities Silcott advanced money and
endorsed paper for some of the leading deni
oeruts in tlio house Silcott was appointed as n
democrat by a democratic oftlclul , and it is
no' likely that the country will soon again

It has been discovered that the 514 000
