Harrison is undoubtedly the choice of the
Republicans All talk of his retiring from
the contest or of new candidate is mere
talk. He made good fight, and if the Re
publicans can elect anybody Harrison is the
man they should elect. There is some feeling
against him here in indianapolis. The friends
of Judge Harris, the defeated Republican
candidate for congress, are not satisfied that
Harrison's friends did not quietly work for
the election of Bynum, the Democratic can
didate.
The uncertain quantity in the legislatur is

elected members of the order, and there is
talk to the effect that they will refuse to go

power 1t is even said that there are mem

Judge Gresham'S friends here are pleased
over the frequent mention of his name as q
possible presidential candidate The judge,
however, during his recent visit declared to
his most intimate associates that such
thought had never entered his head, and that
under no circumstances would he again enter
politics Take it all in all, Indiana never
had more politics to the square inch than she
is likely to have the next few months.

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec I7.-Mr. Tren-
hOlm, the new comptroller of the currency
made his appearance before the house com
mittea on banking and currency Wednes-
day. The comptroller recommended the
adoption o. several measures which he ure-
scented to carry out the recommendations in
his report, all of which were favorablv re-
ceived by the committee, although no final
action was taken. One was TO permit ma
rional banks to deposit coin instead of bonds
st their option to secure circulation. Another
was to relieve the stockholders of national
banks from personal liability whenever it
shall be shown to the satisfaction of the
comptroller that the surplus exceeds 120 per
cent. of the capital stock. 1t was the opin-
ION of the comptroller that the interests of
the creditors Of national banks would be bet
Ter secured by inducing banks to let their
profits accumulate till they reached l2O per
cent. of tins capital than by making the
stockholders individually liable for their pro
