WASHINGTON, d. c., September 13.-
Congressman Pendleton arrived here to-
day on his way home from his prelim-
mary stumping tour in the Third dis
trict. He was very enthusiastic over
his reception by Congressman Alder
sens constituents and said there wasn't
the slightest doubt of Mr.. AldersOn's
recollection by a good round majority.
He said the Democrats of the district
gave every evidence of being thoroughly
aroused to the necessity Of making an
old fashioned fight against the Repub-
licans, and there was no question that
they would do it. The organization of
the district, Mr., Pendleton continued,
was thorough and close and he was
much mistaken if Mr.. Anderson did not
GET A LARGER MAJORITY
than in 1892. Mr.. Pendleton was also
in a couple Of the counties in Mr.. Will
sons district where he found the old
time enthusiasm for the tariff leader OF
the House. Mr.. Pendleton spent some
time to-day at the Democratic Congress
sional Campaign ommittee'S headQuar-
tsrS, where the news he brought from
West Virginia was heard with great sat
isfaction.
Senator Camden is In Washington to-
night on his way to New York.
Mr. Anderson is also here aud is con-
fined to his bed with an attack OF
stomach trouble.

The Comptroller Talks of Currency TO the
Michigan BanKers' Association.

Michigan Bankers Association
BAY CITY, Mich, September 10
The event Of the second DAYS session
OF the Michigan State Bankers Associ-
atoms annual convention was the ad-
dress of Hon. James II. Eckles, comp
trOller OF the currency, which was de-
livered this mernina.
In the course of his address Mr..
Eckles said: "Our cOuntry's return 20
prosperity will, in the very order Of
things, be substantial in character, and
lOng-Cnntinued, If the people, on one
hand, refrain from undue speculation,
aud our national legislators, on the
other, sfrOm crystalizing into law the
financial vagaries Of those who de-
mand of the government 3 great
volume OF money without regard
10 its intrinsic or representative
value. The banks can. In large meas
ure, check the speculative tendencies
of the people, and deny them a credit
which their enterprises no not warrant.
1t rests with the people to say whether
they shall suffer from legislative folly.
"Uuwise financial legislation always
in the end falls upon the mass OF the
people, and brings upon them the great
est ruin. IL may be long deferred, but
the history Of the operation Of every
bad law upon the subject OF the cur
rency OF she country proves the truth
of the assertion. l there be any in this
State who dOubs tue truth OF the state
ment let them read the history of the
effect Of the first financial legislation in
Michigan, enacted Immediately upon
It's admission to the Union.
"Your distinguished citizen and
iurist, Judge Cooley, sums it all up in
these words: such were the fruits OF
the experiment OF giving equal and
practically unlimited rights la banking
TO everybody who wanted shorter road
% wealth tnsn that trodden by labor
and industry. The new State under the
bold but inexperienced guidance Of It's
youthful governor disdaining the les
sons OF history, had determined
20 try for itself the eX-
pertinent of manufacturing money
by the printing press. The condition
after the experiment might be COM
pared TO a forest after cyclone; every
thing was prostrate and In confusion.
One OF its lessons was that neither real
estate nor anything else not immedi-
ately convertible into money can sup
port the credit OF bank currency.
Il am sure" said the speaker in con-
clusiOn, that the people OF Michigan
will not have to relearn the lesson Of
more than fifty wears ago"

In Case He Is Censured by the Ohio
Democratic state Convention.
COLUMBUS, o., September 13.-The
friends of Senator Brce here say that
If the Democratic convention next week
adopts resolutions censurlng him for his
course against the Wilson bill, he will at
once resign. This would leave
the Democrats but one majority
in the Senate, as Governor Mckinley
would p point Republican. The Gov
ernor would have the filling Of the
vacancy entirely in his power, as the
General Assembly has adjourned sine
die, and cannot assemble except upon
the Governors call. This would also
place Governor Mckinley In a peculiar
position, as be is said to be candlnate
to succeed Brice In the Senate himself,
and the only other candidate Is ex-Goy-
ernor Foraker.
