BANKERS AND BROKERS ORGANIZE
PREPARING TO DO HARD WORK FOR THE REPUE
rvCAN TICKET

The Republican members OF the Stock Exchange
yesterday set foot the preliminary work for the
active expression OF belief IN the soundness OF Repub-
Acan principles In the coming campaign. As yet there
has been little display Of enthusiasm In politics IN
Wall Street circles The surface quiet, however, is no
evidence Of lack OF zeal. The renominauon OF the
President BY the Minneapolis Convention was hailed
on all hands in financial circles as fortunate act
and II impaired a confident feeling that shaken
recently only by the revival OF Democratic agitation
OF the silver question. The Republican nominees this
year find In banking circles stronger support than
has been evident for many years. Four years ago
There was a decided Cleveland sentiment which was
not modified until the contest became acute over the
Issue OF Protection and Free Trade. But wall street
Is most aroused when 1t Is brought face 10 face with
the questions which go 10 the root of honest money
legislation on the currency is recognized vally and
Immediately affecting matters OF value, not only
directly but through sentimental influences. In stand
