CHICAGO, Aug. l9.-Ex-Senator j. S.
Lawrence of Sioux City, Ia, chairman
of the recent state convention, is at the
Grand Pacific hotel. He said that the
republican position on the liquor ques-
tion-favoring local option assured a
sweeping victory for the party.
True, we will lose on the comprc-
missing prohibition element. l recognize
the right of opinion, but if they hold
their principles of republicanism their
proper place is in the prohibition party,
and for every one of them we lose we
will get two others. Our candidate,
Frank Jackson, is young and popular
man, able and upright, and he will make
such campaign as will reel up an old
fashioned republican majority in Iowa. +"

NEW YORK, Aug. fT.-The banks are
said to be anxious as to the aeeds Of
their Southern correspondents for money
to move the cotton crop. The Southern
banks must have currency for that pur.
posse the banks OF this city cannot let
them have much, IL any. and the cur
rcncy cannot be obtained anywhere else.
Demands for money have already be-
gun 10 come in from Southern banks, and
the problem many banks are now indi-
yidually considering as how TO comply
with future demands. Thus far Ii Is BE-
lieved all reasonable demands have been
supplied. \ reporter made some IA.
quirics on the subject todny aud was
informed by one Of the loading bank
presidents Of the city that In all proba-
bilty the difficulty IN the South would

adoption In that section Of a plan similar
to that adopted By business men, manu-
facturers, and others Ia Buffalo and its
vicinity. Certified checks for small
amot nts will be paid out by cotton
factors and others, and as they will be
payable through the clearinghouse they
will pass as currency from hand to hand
and be as convenient as ordinary cur
rency. Certified checks will always pass
and are accepted as cash anywhere.
There can be no question as to the
legality Of their issue. The banks In the
South as well as in this city will have
not the slightest objection to certifying
any number of checks for any sums, as
lolg as the customer drawing them has
the required amount to his credit. and as
long as IL will save the banks paying out
the actual cash. The adoption of this
plan will, 1t is believed, greatly assist
the moving of the cotton crop. A bank
