Senate there were ii votes for the Union
Bank and s votes against il, 6 Of whom
were democrats. SENATE Journal, .. 96.)
In the house there were only votes
against the bank; but they were all demo-
Gratis. The opposition was feeble to be-
sure, but it came from The democrats, and
proves that what little virtue there was on
this question belonged to the democrats.
IN 1898 decided ground was taken
against the banks, and multiplication Of
bank charters. The stand was taken by
The democratic party, with Gov. McNuit
at their head. That a whole batch Of
bank charters was killed BY his veto and
the exertons Of a large portion Of the dem
ocralic party, is fact too fresh ia the rec
objection Of the people to be successfully
Disputed by Mr. Prentiss or any other
whir.

n all others, the wings as body went for
he banks, with only now md then very
ew exceptions. As party they we're
bank makers.
