A Director Declaring War to the Knife-Mr.
Hooper's Letter to the Committcc-A Ques-
tion for the Meeting Tomorrow Evening.
There is trouble in the Board of Trustees
OF the North River Savings Bank, at Thirty
fourth street and Eighth avenue. The nstitu-
tion was founded about ten years ago, DIR.
Alexander wilder being one OF its active pro-
moters, along with Mr.. John Hooper, President
of the Colwell Lead Company. Mr.. Hooper was
the FIRST depositor In the bank, and was chosen
the first President. He was annually re-
elected, and without open or active opposition,
until January last. He was then told, just five
minutes before the meeting OF the board, by
Mr.. Christopher Y. wemple, a trustee, that he
would not be reelected. When the board met,
however, he was chosen by two majority. But
a movement to get rid Of him Is more active
than before, aud will eliminate at the meeting
Of the board to-morfo@ noht.
Mr.. Hooper tells the story Of the trouble as
follows Know q ~ TePe9n t?r the majority "a, n

committee to investigate reports made by one
or more trustees damaging to the bank. On
September the committee. Of which Ranney
was Chairman, and Erastus Littleheld ana
W lillian Wade the other members, Invited me
to meet them ut private house. In my reply /
declined TO meet them at private house, but
said l would speak with them at the bank, and
added: Considering the times and the uncer-
tainty Of savings banks Of small deposit and

"Mr. John Graham then introduced a resolu-

While Blaine is crashing his teeth

Garfield and his fellows are bowling
because some Democratic Union sol
diers have taken the places of some
Republican soldiers in the House,
Grant keeps right on appointing ex-
Cofederates. who are third termers
to Office. A week or SO ago Guerilla
Mosby secured for one of his gang,
who is q relative of A. H. Boteler, a
position in one of the departments
which might have been given to q
Union soldier. The very same day
a negro from Tennessee, who fought
in the Confederacy, was appointed
to a place in the House, which was
secured for him BY Colonel Young

represents the Memphis district.

The next political battle will be
and decided in the States ct
Ohio and Indiana. Which ever par
ty. carries these States in October
will be sure to succeed in the Presi-
DENTAL contest in November. Ohio
and Indiana will stand shoulder to
shoulder on the money question, and
fight bravely and determinedly for
the interests of the west. There
was a time when Pennsylvania enjoy
ed the honor of the political arch,
and as "wer.t Pennsylvania so went
the Unior," but of late years she has
lost that prestige, and it has been
changed to Ohio, the political histo.
nv of which proves it to be the most
uncertain State in the Union. After
voting for Jacksonin 1928 and 1882,
it gave overwhelming majorities for
Harrison in 1886 and 1910. In 1874
Clay carried it by a scratch. Ir
1913 it voted for Cass, and in 1852
for Pierce. For a quarter Of q cen
fury it yibrated back and forth, first
Wing aud then Democratic, the ma
jorities ranging from . few hundred
to many thousands. After the or
ganization Of the Republican party
Ohio has usually voted that ticket,
but frequently by very small major
itics. Chase was elected Governor
in 1857 BY 1900. In 1861 the Re
publican majority was $4,000. In
1852 it was Democratic BY 5000. III
1853 the Republicans carried by CO.
geo. In 1866 it was Republican by
&c, 900. In 1857 a Democratic Leg
islature was elected, and the differ.
ence in the vote for Governor was
but 1900. In 1868 the Republicans
rolled up a majority of 10000, which
was reduced to 5000 in 1859. Ii
1872 the Republicans were again il
the ascendancy by 10000. In 1875
the Democrats carried the State b.
about 500. In 1874 it was Demo
cratic by 10, OU0 while in 1875 it was
again Republican by about 5000
Our State election takes place il
October, three weeks before the Pre-
sidential election. The electoral
vote is the largest of any State il
the Union except New York ant
Pennsylvania, and both parties vii
make extraordinary efforts to sceur
it. The chances are considered b.
careful observers to be in favor Q
the Democracy.
