Courier Journal, has the following to say
anent fusion as exemplifed in the Ninth
congressional district of Iowa where
democrats and populists have united in
supporting j. B. Weaver for congress:
ave trust that the genuine democrats
viii atleast refuse to vote for Weaver.
We protest against their voting for q
populist. There is no greater foe to
democracy than Weaver and the politi-
cal madmen he represents. Every demo-
cratic vote for . popullst is q stab at the
democratic party. NO man is in any
sense p truedemocrat who can vote for q
populist. The party which merely at
tempts to defeat some other party
rather than to vindicate its own princi-
pies is either without principles or 10
false to them. It lie not one whit more
to the interests OF the democratic party
TO defeat q republican than it is to dc
feat . populist. 1.-THE democrats Of the
9th Iowa district wont do their duty by

party they are willing to do their duty

SATHER BANKING COMPANY.

AS far back as 1851 the Sather Banking
Company was organized with subscribed
capital of 81. 100000 1t has 81. 100000 paid
up in gold coin, and ever since its forma-
ton it has enjoyed the patronage of a select
class OF customers.
Adam Smith, the great authority on
banking, has said that dealing in money is
Doth science and an art. In this respect
the Sather Banking com pany has always
carried on business with this axiom in
view.
During crisis in monetary affairs it is
never slow to recognize the wants of its
customers, and If those doing busin ess
with the bank are upright they receive
that support from their banker which as a
rule is absolutely necessary in times of a
Stringent money market

WELLS, FARGO & co.

In making reference to the banking
house of Wells, Fargo & Co. it is scarcely
necessary to say that no other bank in the
United States is better known, more USE
ful and more highly respected.
1t has been carrying on business since
1852, at which time pioneers will remem-
Der that the fathers of it were Henry

CHANGERS BANK.

When the Changers Bank was incor-
porated in 1874 it was with view to meet
the requirements of the agricultural popu-
lation throughout the State. In doing this
the bank has met with phenomenal sue
cess, and although the original paid-up
capital was but $4,000 in gold, with an
authorized capital of 100000 it was only
called In in instaIlments until the full
amount was necessary to meet the great
demands of the husbandmen and dealers
in cereals. The entire capital has been
paid up III g0ld coin. namely 100000.
AS an illustration of the success achieved
by the institution it may be men toned
that since its organization nearly 81, 900 600
! has been paid in dividends.
Loans on grain, produce and general
merchadise are made specially.
In addition to this il transacts general

and here John has been ever since.
Having been here all his life. with the
exception of the two years referred to.
Mr.. McDade is obviously in position to
know what the city needs, as we'll as
the State at large, and to make good
servant for the people. In 1879 Mr..
McDade was nominated for the Assem-
bly, and was elected by a comfortable
majority. In consequence he served
in the first Legislature organized
under the new constitution. He served
his people well on this occasion, as he has
always done when called upon by them.
His record was clean and his conduct up
right and commendable. His next call to
public life was in the capacity of Chief
Deputy Superintendent of Streets. While
in this office bis Influence largely helped
I the passage of the VroOman act, which
made possible vast and needed improve
ments to the streets Of this city. He made
the assessments fer grading Castro and
Ken lucky streets. alSo Railroad avenue.
which meant the giving out of $4,000
worth OF work.
Sheriff McDade has been called upon to
handle some important matters. In the
Pacific Bank case his appointment as re-
ceiver of the institution gave joy to the
depositors, who felt sure that he would
look after their interests and do his duty
by them. But the decision of the Supreme
Court, placing the affairs of the bank in
the hands of the Bank Commissioners,
deprived him of the opportunity. Then in
the Navarro mill cases. involsipg over
$500, 000 the Sheriff was elected assignee
by the unanimous wish of the creditors.
Other cases, too numerous to mention, have
given him opportunities to demonstrate to
the public that he is the right man in the
right place.
The Sheriff has taken a new departure
in the matter of selecting juries. With
the view of putting stop TO the jury
brlblng traffic. ne now personally SUPER
intends all this work, and has brought
about reform that is hailed with delight
By law biding citizens. Taken all in all,
the Sheritf's Office under Mr.. McDade's ad-
minisra ton has been a credit to the city.

BANK OF THE TALLANTS.

For over thIrty-siX years the general
banking business of the Talant Banking
Company was carefully handled by astute
bankers.
1t Is essentially bank owned princi-
pally by the Tallant family, having been
organized in 1850 by Drury j. Tallant.
Its place of birth was on Montgomery
street, but shortly after its inauguration
its building was destroyed by fire.
IL then opened temporarily on Ports
mouth square, and subsequently secured
the northwest corner of Clay and Mont
gomery streets, where a successful and
growing business was conducted.
After time more commOdiouS premises
were needed, and a location on Battery
street, near Clay, was secured.
More recently the handsome corner
building on the northeast corner of Cali
fornia and Battery streets was erected
and the bank to-day is in these quarters
enjoying the confidence of its friends and
that of the public.
Inc bank has CA pital of $500, 900 paid
up In gold, and the very name OF Tallant
Is suthclent TO give it a superior standing
even II the capital were not so large, be-
cause the Tallant family virtually own
the bank.
In the early days Tallant & Wilde con-
Quoted Its affairs, and it was a private
bank until 1891. In that year it was in
cOrporated with an authorized capital of
