There is no talk of Cleveland COM

Senator Buffers Bill.

The Senate yesterday discussed Mr..
Buffers bill providing for an examina-
tion Of the national banks Of New York.
The wisdom Of this bill is questionable.
There is no doubt that the government is
entitled to all the information necessary
To determine whether the laws are being
complied with or not, but it ought to be
obtained I'm a way that would not draw
too much attention to the banks. At the
present time there is great sensitiyeness
respecting mOneyed institutions. A dam
aging statement with regard to the
condition of the banks, whether
true or false, would start a run on
them which would end with their suspen-
sion in all probability. The Comptroller
Of the Currency, with his force of bank
examiners, ought to be able TO find out
with some degree of accuracy the exact
condition of every national bank in New
York much more expedItiOusly than the
information could be obtained by any
means Congress can devise. He ought
also to be able to discover whether the
national banking laws are-being violated,
and. If so. to what extent. All this in
formation could be conveyed TO Congress
in such a way as not TO shake public con-
fdence in the banks. A day or two ago the
expert bOOk-keepers Of the government
examined into the affairs of the Union
Pacific Railroad, and, on their return to
Washington, a dispatch was sent to a
New York paper that they would make
'sbad repOrt.' The consequence was
sharp break in Union Pacific stock. Mr..
Buffers bill deals with a very delicate
matter. Indeed, it is difficult TO deter
mine the best way to get at the infOrma-
ton which his bill aims TO secure.

InraIIs, Pension Amendment.

Senator Ingalls, has placed the Repub-
licans Of the Senate in a rather uncom-
Portable position by his anxiety TO show
the country that the Republican party
means what it says in the pension plank
in its platform. That plank, it viii be
remembered, favors removing the limi-
tatfon from the arrears-Of-pensions act so
that pensions may be granted from the
date Of soldiers discharge, instead OF
from the date OF the soldiers application.
Mr. ingalls, seized the first opportunity to
put the plank In practical operation by
proposing an amendment to the Mexican
pension bill removing the limitation. The
Commissioner OF Pensions has written
letter in which he states
that the ingalls, amendment, If it becomes
a law, will take out Of the Treasury at
least S27j. OOO. 600. This statement aston
ished some Of the Republican Senators.
They had no idea that their buncOmbe
Dension plank would cost such an enor-
nous sum. They are not willing to dis
burse that amount as an experiment in
their effort to retain the control OF the SOL
der vote. They are beginning TO under
stand also that the country is getting
tired of paying out such immense sums
in pensions. and that the party that en-
eourages extravaganza with regard to
pensions is more likely to lose than to
cain bv that method Of electioneering.
The Democratic Senators have raised no
objection to the Ingalls, amendment.
Some of them are reported as saying that
they will go as far as the Republicans
dare 90 in giving pensions to soldiers.
Doubtless Mr.. Ingalls, expected that the
Democrats would oppose his amend
ment, and that, therefore, the
Democratic party would be placed in
the position Of opposing pensions, and
would lose its influence with the soldier
vote. If Mr.. Ingalls, had any such idea
he is certainly undeceived by this time.
The oppOsition came from Senators Of his
own party, and the Republican Senators
are now engaged in discussing the ques-
ton whether or not they had better stand
bv the ingalls, amendment. 1t is proba-
able that if an expression Of opinion could
be had from the genuine eX-soldlers they
would by a very good majority decide that
the Ingalls, amendment ought not to be
PASSED. 1t is certain that the majority Of
both parties in Congress would so decide
if they were not afraid of losing influence
with the soldier element. If the amend
ment becomes a law the chances
are that very large per cent. OF the
money appropriated will find its way
into the pockets of swindling pension
agents. 1t will not be pleasant for In
gals if his Republican associates decide
not to sustain him. Not to sustain him,
however, will be equal to saying shat the
pension plank in the platform was the
work Of demagOgues.

Now Yorl- Candidates.


The entire country is deeply interested
in the Democratic State Convention Of
New York, which meets at Saratoga to
morrow. The selection Of delegates has
been closely watched, with the view Of
determining beforehand, If possible,
whether or not a Cleveland delegation 70
Chicago would be chosen. There has been
a good deal Of speculation respecting the
preferences Of delegates, but it is not
known with any degree OF certainty
whether Cleveland or Flower viii have
the majority. Flowers friends have GER
ta1nly been very active, and they are not
at all modest in their claims. Cleveland
does not appear TO have made, or TO be
making, any active efforts in his own be-
half, and the reports do not show
that he has any agents at
work. There is a very strong
sentiment, however, for him throughout
the state, and this will have its effect
when the convention meets. With very
few exceptions the Democrats Of the New
York Congressional delegation favor him
and are doing what they can TO promote
his candidacy. 1t is said, however, that
Gen. SlOcUm is using his influence in be-
half Of Flower, not because he thinks that
Flower will play a conspicuous part in the
Chicago Convention, but because he wishes
to destroy CleveIand's prospects. Gen.
SlOcum, il is said, hopes to see Western
man nominated for President be-
cause he thinks that the party. in
that event, would give New York
the second place on the ticket, and that
he would be the nominee. Nobody out
side Of New York appears TO have thought
very seriously Of Flower for President,
and there is considerable surprise ex-
/ pressed that he has 50 much apparent
strength in that State. He is almost IN
/ known 10 the country. he filed out an
| unexpired term in Congress, but be made
no reputation there. He is a good bust
ness man and has a large fortune. That
is about all that can be said for him,
| He has no claims on his party, and
there is nothing in his career that
| would excite interest in him If be should
happen to be the psrty's Presidential can
didate. While there does not now appear
10 be the remOtest chance for him TO gel
the nomination, there is a prospect thai
he will divide the New York delegation
with Cleveland. If he does, he will greatly
damage Cleyeland's chances. The feel
ing in favor Of allowing New York tc
name the candidate is quite strong, but
or course, the convention will hardly
| accord that favor to the State if its dele
CATION is divided.
