GOVERNOR HoADLY says of the politi-
cal situation in Ohio: I'VE have fair
fighting chance. They beat us last fall by
1000 votes, but then they had Mr..
Blaines personal canvass to help them
and any amount of promises of patron
age, which he made right and left all over
the state. Why, he made enough prom
ises of places in Ohio to bankrupt twenty
national administrations OF course, we
fight the republicans this year without
that element in their favor, for Blaine,
having nothing at his disposal, present or
prospective, cannot hold out any induce
ments in the way of offices. 1t is rather
ON the other side this year, and that gives
US the vim to 60 into the fight with pros
poets Of winning"

A Montreal BanMs Dilemma.

MONTREAL, Sept. 4.-The Canadian Pa
citic Railway company recently paid over
to the government the 5000, 900 which was
loaned them last session on the security of
SS,000,000 of bonds. Some time ago the
government repaid large amount which
it owed the bank of Montreal Ii
is believed in financial circles that the
Bank of Montreal must nav have from
IS, 600 900 to $4,000, 900, which it will
find fficult to place. Tie tendency Of this
great holding of money will be TO seek an
outlet in trade and manufactures in this
country, rs the money markets of the
United States are we'll supplied, and rates
are almost unpreoeientedly low. 1t is
many years since SO much money was lying
idle in hanks in Canada Rates hers ara
low, and the earning power of the banks
will be reduced
