WHY BUSINESS lNTER ESrS
OPPOSE BLAINE.

During the panic in business affairs,
not yet over, and likely in an unfavorable
turn of affairs to become worse, the coun-
try banks withdrew f.om New York banks
over $40, 900, 900 of deposits there. The
country banks, fearful of the effects of the
panic, locked this sum up. The New
York banks also increased their reserve
fund for protection. Thus it is seen how
sensitive are the financial affairs of the
country and how this sensitivencss is
likely to precipitate widespread and utter
ruin throughout the country, to all who
owe upon lands, for stocks of goods in
trade, Tor loans, etc. This it is that ar
ravs the business men of the country
against Blaine, whom they regard as the
most unsafe man who has appeared in
politics for generation Of people.

THE LADIES GIFT TO CE.EVE-
LAND.
A superb Banner Made by 1he
gHaHds of Fair New Work Girls.
fSpt cial to the World

BlNGHAMroN, N. Y, September g.
To-day occurred one of the most pleasing
features of the campaign and one which
had wonderfully inspiring effect on the
Democracy, young and old. Some time
ago there was formed here a body of
young Democratic voters calling them
selves the Binghamton Guard. These
Young men were composed of representa-
tives of some of the best families in this
city. With other Cleveland organiza-
tions, they determined to go to Elmira
and march in the grand parade there this
evening, but much to their dismay found
that the fine banner ordered some days
before in New York City would not be
completed in time for use on this occa-
sion
All efforts were of no avail, the manu-
lacturers telegraphing that it was impos-
sible to complete it in time. Several
young ladies here of strong Democratic
tendencies had quietly bought between
$40 and $50 worth of material, and set to
work to make "A beautiful banucr. They
worked increasingly three days, and nn-
der their iair fingers the crude materials
developed into one Of the most beautiful
banners.
Then the young ladies sent word to the
Birghamton Guard to be at headquarters
al a certain hour this afternoon. A large
number, young men and old, were on
hand and committee of five or six young
ladies. The spokesman of the party, a
young school-mistress, stepped forward
aud made a neat presentation speech. a
scene of wild enthusiasm ensued. Mayor
Thayer in a short speech accepted the
beautiful gift. The yonng men took 1t
to Elmira and it was voted the finest ban
ner seen in the parade.
