John W. Cary claims that he collected funds for the Wimberly Combine of New Orleans, Louisiana, at the direction of Henry Demas. There was an understanding that the people who donated would be appointed to federal positions and Cary would also receive an appointment for his work. No one has received an appointment and Cary has been threatened with prosecution. Cary suggests that if President McKinley looks into the matter the people will be given back their money.
