here are gratiiied at the setback they say
Blaine's nomination gives Malone. Logan's

rying Virginia, and say that Blaine can not
unite the party in New York.

the contest affords satisfaction TO Democrats
for the reason that the success of Blaine is

THE BANKERS AT SARATOGA.
The Convention of the National AssO.
 citation.

SARATOGA, N. Y., Aug. 13.-About two hundred delegates from all parts of the country were present in Putnam Hall this morning when President Lyman I. Gage, of Chicago called to order the annual conven- tion of the American Bankers association.
 Rev Dr. Harper, of Pennsylvania, invoked the divine blessing on the proceedings, and President Gage followed with the opening address He said as bankers they found themselves in responsibilities of high and delicate order, for the just discharge of which it required firm and steady character, a fair intelligence and peculiar wisdom furnish ed by experience While it was not incum- bent upon them to undertake the work of reforming general matters of business, it was for them as bankers to fully recognize the responsibility resting upon them in their peculiar department, to establish and main tain such standards as experience had ap- proved and confirmed. To this work the association stood fully committed. Large questions in national finance remain to be settled; questions touching at vital point every industrial interest and affecting by their sympathetic but powerful action their own future we'll being. The national debt, taxation, coinage laws, currency of the future and bankruptcy legislation were few of the subjects upon which they should gain wise and just views, and to procure the proper settlement ofwhich our judicious influence should be exerted. The president then went on to discuss the causes which lead to financial panics and to suggest measures for their prevention and commended the wise promptitude and heroic courage displayed by the clearing houses during the recent panic in New York. Through the issue of clearing house certif- cates every bank creditor at the institution became willing lender to it's entire balance to any debtor bank or banks desiring to bor- row. For the prevention of panics he sug- gested: First, the keeping of cash re- serves considerably larger than twenty-fiVe per cent. in ordinary periods by banks in the reserve cities; second, a repeal of the usury laws, thus leaving the price of money to be regulated as are all other commodities, by the law of supply and demand; third, re- moval of the injurious restrictions now i'm posed by the national bank act, a restriction which, observed in time of panic, will preJ- udice the bank and imperil all business in- terests: fourth, the adoption of some rule 10 secure a uniform practice in times Of panic out of the cash reserves. It might be said In answer to the fourth suggestion that no rule of the kind indicated can De devised susceptible of enforcement.
