Huey left the saloon and procured gun.

THE BATTLE IN OHIO.

Most Exciting Campaign in the History OF
the State-Both Leading Parties Confident.
COLUMBUS, o.. Nov. 2.-Never since the
war has q campaign been waged in the
Buckeye State which has attracted SO
much general interest, which has been SO
hotly contested, and which has been so ex-
clusively devoted to national issues as the
one which closed tonight. From the be-
ginning to the end ii has been o veritable
battle of the giants. With the two ablest
and most representative men of the State
as the standard bearers of the respective
parties, the country at large has been
drawn upon and the national
leaders and recognized exponents of
both parties have been sup,moned
to the field to expound the principles of
Republicanism and Democracy. The joint
debate of Campbell and Mckinley. at Ada,
will long remain as IN historical event In
annals of Ohio politics. John Sherman has
talked finance and Roger q. Mills has re-
piled to HIM. Secretary Foster has dis
cussed national Issues, and William Nj.
Springer. of Illinois. has attempted to
answer the arguments presented by the
distinguished Secretary of the treasury.
Ex-Speaker Reed and Dir. Crisp have
stumped the Western Reserve. Messrs Can
non and Mcmillan have discussed tariff and
the "billlon-doliar Congress" until at last
oil that could be told has been told. and
the voter is now left TO exercise his liberty
loving prerogative.
The campaign in Ohio has had all the
characteristics OF q national contest. State
issues have been almost forgotten. or over
looked, as there are really no matters of
serious concern upon which the parties are
not agreed. The subject of administration
has. of course, been commented on by the
public speakers and by the newspapers,
each party claiming that its officers made
the best record in the management of
the interests of the State. But the burden
of all the speeches and of all the political
arguments sent out IN type In this cam
paign of education" has been the tariff
and free coinage. The fact that an amend
ment to the Constitution Is to be voted for
has almost been forgotten, and the thou
sands of voters will doubtless receive their
hTst intimation that they have duty to
perform IN this respect when they see the
question printed on the official ballot that

What Controller Lacey Says.


WASHINGTON. Nov. MIR. Lacey. Con-
troller of the Currency. received informa-
tion this morning. that the Maverick Ma
tional Bank. of Boston, had closed its
doors. He said that an examiner was in
charge of the bank, and that receiver
would be appointed in few days to wind
up it's affairs. He said that while the exact
loss is not definitely known, il was clear
that the bank is insolvent. and that. as its
capital, surplus and undivided profits
amounted to 81, ,4OO. 900, it follows that the
loss exceeded that amount. He added
that he did not believe that another bank
was involved in the failure. subsequently
the Controller was informed of the
action of the Clearinghouse Associa-
tiOn for the relief of the creditors
of the Maverick Bank. The action of the
Clearinghouse was" he said, "a very pru-
dent. wise and salutary measure, and be-
tokens proper spirit on the part OF the as.
to restore confidence and afford relief to de-
positors whose funds are temporarily
locked up by the banks failure The ut
most expedition will be made in the ap-
pointment of receiver. who will be Sc
lected with view to realizing the largest
amount from assets and n prompt division
OF the proceeds among the creditors" A
report received from the examiner this
morning shows that the liabilities of the
Maverick Bank are $500, coo and tine cash
on hand S1,40o.C00.
Mr.. Lacy this afternoon appointed Mr..
Thomas Z. Beal receiver of ths Maverick
