THE Pittsburgh Chronicts argues
strongly in favor of consolidating the
many small banks of that city into q few
large ones. Pittsburgh has u greater
number of banks than Paris or Frank

many OF them are weak. 1t is impossi-
bic that yr' a hundred thousand III
nsbltsnts should furnish profitable busi
ness for them al. By consolidating Two
OF more o, iaem together, the heavy eX-
Psnses OF rent, clerk hire and general
Management would be largely reduced
The banks of that city continue to pay
slI per cent. interest on deposits. This
can result in but one of two things:
either the business men who Are COM
PEELED to use bank accommodations, or

Will no longer stand usurious rates of in
Isresti and without receiving such rates
Of interest the bank cannot pay deposl

TILDEN's SPEECH.
The Country, Not His own Personal
Wrongs, to be Considered.

New YORK, June 12.-Gov Tilden made Q
brief speech at the reception at the Manhat
tan Club tonight. After alluding to the de-
parture of Gov. Hendricks tomorrow, with
the best wishes for, prosperous voyage and
safe return, he said: Everybody knows that
after the recent election the men who were
elected by the people President and Vice Pres
ident OF the United States were counted out,
and men who were not elected were counted
in and seated.
I disclaim any thought of the personal
wrong involved in this transaction Not by
any act or word of mine shall that be
dwarfed or degraded into personal griev-
ance which is, in truth, the greatest wrong
that has stained our national annals. To
every man of the four and quarter millions
who were defrauded Of the fruits of their
elective franchise, it is as great wrong as it
is to me, and no less to every man of the mi
nority will the ultimate consequences extend
Evils in government grow by success and
impurity
They do not arrest their own progress;
they can never be limited except by eternal
forces. If the men in possession OF the gov
ernment can in one instance maintain them
selves in power against an adverse decision Of
the elections, such an example will be imita-
ted. Temptation exists always; devices to
give color of law and false pretences on which
to found fraudulent decisions will not be
wanting.
The wrong will grow into practice, if con-
doned. In the worlds history changes in the
succession Of governments have usually been
the result OF fraud or force. 1t has been our
