ON THE PACIFIC COAST.
The Republicans Very Conadent-The De-
sire for Coin Increasing.


WAsHISGros, September 22.-Comp.
troller Knox, who has recently returned
from an extended trip upon the Pacific
Coast and in mining States, reports the
Republicans upon that coast very conf
dent OF success this fall. They say that
there is no doubt whatever as to Nevada
and Oregon, and while It is admitted that
California Is close, they believe that they
will not only receive the Electoral vote Of
that State, but will keep the Congressmen
they now have and gain third.
Mr.. Knox finds that the most notice
able move now in the currency Is the
great inclination on the part Of banks to
pay out coin instead OF currency, when.
ever 1t Is practicable. Payments in gold
are increasing, and number oi Western
bankers pay out currency with reluctance,
and California bankers bid for 1t, as they
use it instead Of exchange to settle their
Atlantic Coast balances.
Mr.. Knox thinks that the fact that the
national bank question is not more promi-
nent in the campaign indicates that the
stability OF that system is assured.
