THE KEYSTONE BANK.
Pennsylvania Governor Asks PERMITS
sion TO Have Examined the Book
Concerning BardsIey's Deposits.

HARRIsnURG, Pa, Aug. 3.-Governor Pat
tison on Saturday last sent the following
letter, in part, TO Secretary of the Treasury
Foster:
SIE-The published reports of the COM
mttee appointed by Mayor Edwin
Q. Stewart of Philadelphia to
investigate the account of John
Bardsley, late city treasurer of
Philadelphia, seem to clearly indicate that
4 considerable portion of the money misap-
propriated by Bardsley, and which made up
his deficiency to the commonwealth of Penn
sylvaGia, and TO the city of Philadelphia, was
deposited III the Keystone state bank
of Philadelphia, which bank has been closed
by order of the comptroller of the currency.
The apparent loss to this commonwealth
and TO the city of Philadelphia is about
81, 800. 600. in which loss the state is largely
concerned. directly and indirectly. In view
of this fact, | respectfully ask the authori-
ties and receiver of the keystone
national bank TO permit a committee
Of three or five citizens, to be designated
by you, 10 examine the books, papers, etc,
of the bank with view of ascertaining
what deposits Of public money there We're,
and if the state had any interest therein.
What became of the money thus
depOsiteGl I have been await
ing the result of the investigation By
the gentlemen already engaged in the
examination of accounts and affairs of the
keystone national bank in the hopes
that their reports would contain inforna-
ton which it Is important the state officers
should have in their possession. But as
the examination is being made by expert &C
countants designated by the mayor
of Philadelphia aud by other
expert accountants selected by the Phiadel-
phia councilmanic investigation committee,
l am Of the opinion that u ike investigation
should be made on behalf of the common
wealth, and have concluded that their in
terests require that l shall obtain the de-
sired information as early as possible, and in
the manner l have indicated.

self and Others at that time. am glad
ofsthis opportunity to make this statement
and TO show Bic falsity Of the assertions
,ae to Coy. Hills attitude toward Mr.. Cleve-.
land in 1883 and Mr.. Cleyeland's opinion
on that attitude"
These remarks Of Mr.. SteiDway's caus :
ed great Sensation ut the dinner. A
reporter of the Sun called on Mr. Stein
way yesterday with reference to the
matter, and he said in reply to questions:
eyes, made that Statement with refer
ence to the relation between Mr.. Cleye-
land and Mr.. Hill. 1t was the first chance
I had had, and availed myself of the op-.
portunity. have abundant proofs OF
what / said, / can, by reference to my
papers give the precise date. / know that
Gov. Hill worked faithfully for Mr.. Cleye-
land and that the president acknowledged
it. Our conversation at the state dinner
took place in the presence of Col. Brice
and William L. Scott. Mr.. Cleveland
stated that Gov. Hill had worked honest
-ly, faithfully, and efficiently for him (Mr.
Clcveland), and that, SO far as Gov. Hills
labors in the campaign went New York
should have gone democratic on the ma
tional ticket as we'll as the State.
"The fact is that the loss Of the State
to the national democracy lay deeper.
The Germans here are protectionists as
body, and SO while the German democrats
here voted for Governor Hill they did not
vote for Mr.. Cleveland know this from
nv own observation. At the Liederkranz,
for instance, meet leading Germans from
all over the city. i know that Mr..
Clcyeland's free trade massage set them
by the cars. Prominent manufacturers,
who voted for Hill, told me that they
would not vote for Cleveland. .Ohp / ex-
claimed, when that message came out why
could not Mr.. Cleveland have waited until
after his reelection for he would have
been reelected. l knew that it would
hurt him among the Germans. Then
there was another cause. While Governor
Hill is temperance man himself, he pla-
ces himself on the broad GROUND that one
man should not dictate to another on his
personal habits, His attitude on the pei
sonal liberty question is we'll known. In
consequence he got great many votes
for governor which Mr.. Cleveland did not
get on national issues 1t was cause
outside Gov. Hills control which led to
the difference of votes on the State and
national issues in this State in the cleo
ton of 1888. I am personally, as you
know, great admirer of Mr.. Cleveland.
1 have been personally with him for tlir-
ty years, since he was young lawyer in
Buffalo. l think / am enabled to judge
of his sterling and incompatible traits
of character, and believe have been
placed in position to know how honestly.
and indcfatigably Gov. Hill worked for
him in 1885,"
