A BIG FAILURE.
or II Note Brokers Firm In nl5os.on-ChIcnso
Cnpftntfsts InvOtyed. -

Capitalists Involved. .I
BosToN, August ga. news agency
OF this city says Of the reported Potter
Lowell & Co.'S failure: The business oi
the house was most largely the sale OF
commercial paper. It dealt literally
with its customers, and with banks was
prompt in all its engagements, and there
has been no more popular note broker
concern east or west. 1t has Annually
handled since its corporate organization
in 1885 from S40,000,000 to $GO,OOO,OOO OF
commercial paper. 1t was not Dor.
rover upon its own name or au iudorser
OF the paper it passed, and therefore its
outstanding liabilities are secured by
commercial paper. It was customary
for this firm to advance money on papel
ahead OF sales, and to carry such papsr
in bank as collateral for loans to the
company.
During the past ten days it has been
called upon and met 81 100000 of cal
loans. Upon capital Of 100000 the
company has accumulated surplus Of
$500, 900, and the stock OF the company
has sold privately at good premiums
Though outside Of some fifteen stock
holders in the West it is practically
owned by Messrs. Potter, Lowell l. Tir
rell. The success OF tho firm induced
outside ventures by Walter Potter, mostly
in Texas, in connection with Chicago
and London parties, aud in these for.
tune is probably locked up. 1t was
when this outside business began thai
President Asa Potter, OF the Maverick
Bank, ceased business relations with the
house. MIR. Walter Potter declines an,
assistance. he says il people will pas
their debts to him, he will pay ali Of
his, but he will not borrow Of his friends
to carry his mercantile associates. Ill
could have probably had 100000 o.
more il he had not declined oil offers,

THE POLITICAL SQUABBLE.

IHE IOLIilCAL SRCdDDLE'
IL is the wrong quarter of the moon
and the Sun is daft again. That paper
Is now Iusauely excited over the subject
Of g~ubernatorial succession, is casting
slurs upon prominent members of Its own
party and making suggestions which are
superblY free from all evidences Of com
mon sense. The suns fight is against
Acting Governor Barber. 1t probably
wishes that politically fortunate young
gentleman had never been born or having
been born, had never u into politics
IL believes that somebody is trying to
work the governor and even points the
finger of suspicion at THE LEADER As
the SUI, has already attempted the task
and failed in it, it is perhaps unnecessary
to tell the public that everybody else now
considers the job an Improbable one.
Between THE LEADER and Governor
Barber there can be no political utilization.
We have had occasion to admire lis pro
fessionAl ability and believed that he
would be guided by honest motives even
if circumstances. to which his political
friends would contribute, would prevent
him from accomplishing all Of his designs.
Although politically opposed TO him we
did not hesitate to give him credit for
this much. The fact that he has so fat
shown himself obdurate to the blandish-
ments Of the political heelcrs has not low
cred him in our estimation, IL is this
very circumstance, apparently, which has
turned loose the Eddy street organs hor-
net nest and contributed so much to the
III disguised merriment Of the community
for the past few days. Should any Of
Governor BARRIERS public acts at any time
merit public criticism The LEADER will
be the first to most vigorously denounce
them-but il will attack him on decent
grounds.
The San w~ilfully misrepresepts when it
says that this paper advocated the acting
governor receiving the salaries OF both
secretary aud governor. Such a thing
was impossible whilo Wyoming was a ter
ritory, and no doubt will while II is a
state, As acting governor, Barber will
only be entitled to his salary as secretary.
To this we proposed that there be added
a contingent fund OF. say, 1850, to per
init the employment Of clerical aid in the
discharge Of the duties Of the secretary's
Office. This on its face is a saving OF
several hundreds of dollars TO the taxpav-
cus. Now, If the SIN wasn't undergoing
one Of its usual periods of mental OBJ
security it would have seized upol this idea
add made political out capital of it 1t
might have said that Warrep's resignA-
ton as governor was money IN the peck
ets of the people for with Barber holding
both Offices part OF the salary intended for
the governor would naturally revert into
the treasury. Our opposition to the as
slstant secretary bill was based upon the
ground that il was simply a makeshift
provision, that it created a new Office for
which there was no actual necessity and
because n better way was suggested for
bridging over the difficulty.
A similar line to that suggested by us
has already been adopted by one Of the
Republican senators.
