THE LONDON POLITICIANS AND
BANKERS, ALL FOR HARRISON.

BANKERS, ALL FOR HARRISON.
We have often spoken of the decpinerest which
the fund. holders aud bankers in England had at
stake in the late Presidential election, Judging from
their being the holders of large amount OF state
stocks, t. ;. Bank stock, and other American Sc
curilrs and from the tone O! the leading English
journals. They were arden,iy DESTROYS CT The eec-
lion Of Gen. Harrison, lnnsnuch as II would pro-
ducc Il change of policy favorable to the interests
of Great Britain, and particularly Of Their system OF
finance they said the success Of The W hi9 cahoi-
date would result ina "Ieturn Of The government
to Il sound and rational system OF banking, as a
II after ofcourse," and that The Bank would proba-
hly sbe placed under the protection of proper
charter" In word, that they would be able, IN
such an event, to get the Endorsement OF Uncle
/ San, on all the American securities.
Ihi. deep interest Of the London bankers and
stock. jollcrs, aud British politicians, is daily de-
veoping itself more aud more; they are now con-
. IL ullting all England on the election OF General
( Harrison, in a national, as. well as III innncidl

resistance to the claims Of England, in reference 10
