Elder, William Henry, Archbishop of Cincinnati, St. Martins, Ohio, to William J. Onahan, Chicago, Illinois, 1889 October 9

In addition to the name of Patrick Poland, Elder has also written to Colonel Donn Piatt, since Elder concludes that Onahan is willing to accept more than one Vice-President from one diocese. Donn Piatt's answer may not be received before the 12th, and Elder will telegraph, if favorable. The answer is expected tomorrow. Onahan is asked to publish the name, unless Donn Piatt, consents. Donn Piatt, a practical Catholic for several years, wrote editorials in his Before's magazine, favorable to the Catholic side of the school question. Donn Piatt, had intended to follow up the subject, but the School Book Interest was strong enough to induce the News Agency to refuse circulating the magazine, consequently, he resigned from the editorial chair. His address is given by Elder. :: IX-1-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
