On the first page of this week issue
Will be found the statement of the
condition of the First National Bank
of Johnson City. The growth of the
business of this bank has been phe.
nomenal since its organization as the
Bank of Johnson City, and to-day it
stands in the front rank of successful
Banking institutions. 1t conducts
strictly conservative Banking Bust
ness and allows no outside ventures
by any OF its officers,-Enterprise.
The above statement is very I'M
charitable, to say the least OF it, and
comes with poor grace from a home
paper. THE COMET agrees with the
Enterprise that the statement is
solendid showing, and that the growth
of the First National Sank has been
encouraging to the stockholders since
it vas established about two years ago.
And we have watched its growth with
the same pleasure we find in the sue
cess of any enterprise in the city. But
johnson City has three banks, and we
venture the asser ion that no town in
the South of the same size has three
better, and we cannot see why paper
in speaking of either should reflect on
the others. 1t would have been more
manly to have made the open charge
that the officers of the other banks
were spectators, for the inference in
the closing sentence is too plain to be
overlooked. 1t is a cowardly stab at
financially-sound and safely.managed
banking institutions, and is calculated
to do them serious injury. In the first
place, the tatement is not based on
facts, and even if it was true that
the officers of the First National
were not engaged in Outside ven.
lures" it does not follow that it is
criminal for bank officer to invest in
other enterprises.

bank will not be out of place.
The Watauga Bank is the oldest

A GREAT SHOW OF LEADERS,
fFrom tho n y worldl

The executive chieftalns Of the Re
publican party met at Washington on
Friday evening TO plan the party's next
campaign. There were present Quay,
Dudley and Clarkson'
Clarkson Is the man who, as the
agent Of an Administration pledged TO
extend the principle Of Ciyil-Service
reform, boasts Of having appointed
10000 partisan agents as postmasters'
Dudley Is the man who, In the last
campaign, planned and directed the
marshalling Of bribed voters In "blocks
of Eve" at the polls, and who aban-
doned his pretense Of resentment
against The Worlds charge Of corrupt
practices rather than give an account
Of his conduct under oath.
Quay, the official head Of the COM
mittee and the party is "a man who
makes no Defense and, we may add,
no denial, ''when charged by respon'
sible citizens and newspapers with
participation in the criminal misappro
priatlon Of public money" we may
assume, however, that the gentleman
who abstracted S26000O from the
Treasury Of the State Of Pennsylvania
received assurances Of respect and con.
adence on the part Of his noble col
leagues. II is a sorry spectacle to see
a great party, once a party OF moral
elements" directed by such men, with.
out revolt or open protest.

"There are more men who are willing
