INDIANAPOLIS, July l6.--The financial
situation is much improved to-day.
Runs on Retzingers & Fletchers and
Churchman continued this morning, bat
the number of people demanding money
was smaller than yesterday, and the
runs entirely ceased by noon. 1t was
feared that country banks might become
alarmed and draw the balances held by
banks in the city, but all fears of danger
from this source are now allayed. Let
ters have been received from officers of
country banks, having balances here,
expressing the utmost confidence in the
security of city banks, and stating that
they will draw as lightly as possible on
their balances. While the feeling is still
very nervous, confidence is steadily
growing, and from the present outlook
there is nothing to warrant apprehen-
sions of any further trouble with the city
banks.
Receiver Wallace, in charge of the
suspended banking-house of Fletcher d

Chicago, was seen tonight by an Associ-
ated Press reporter and expressed himsll :
as follows concerning the declaration of
the convention on the question of civil
service reform: f"rhat declara-
tion was satisfactory to the
civil service reformers and
the nominations are alike satisfactory
to them.n He said; "Both Cleveland and
Hendricks are strongly COM
mitted to reform of civil service"
and asked: "Who could desire q more
absolute committal to the doctrines of
reform than the acts of Gov. Cleve-
land and the declarations of
GOV. Hendricks?" Senator Pendleton
referred to the speech by GOV. Hen
bricks in 1872, and his letter of accept
ance in 1876, in support Of the assertion
that the Governor is heartily in favor OF

stood that he (Manning) does not want
the position. He has promised to devote
his time to the canvass and to aid the

learned that Randall forbids the use of
