The friends of Senator Cullom, who have
been keeping track of the county and dis
trict conventions In Illinois, contest the
statement of the Mckinley managers that
the state convention. which will be held
in Springfield on April %. will have 200
Mckinley majority. According to the
Cullom figures as given in the Washington
Post, there have been elected 996 dele
gates from sixty-four counties to the
state convention. Thirty-tive counties
with 37l delegates. have declared for Me-
Kinley; twenty-nine counties, with 62j
delegates, have either declared against
him or are uninstructed. The uninstruct-
ed delegates number 55s, of which 373 are
from Cook county alone. The total num-
ber of delegates will he 1885. of which
number 653 will be majority. Out of
the $50 delegates yet to he chosen. Nc
Kinley will have to secure 297 to obtain Il
majority of the convention. 1t is said
that the fight has been SO closely drawn
that where delegates have not been in
structed for Mckinley they may be count.
Ell against him. Senator Cullom's friends
on the contrary, have fought against in
structions There have been nine dis
trict conventions held and eighteen dele
gates elected to the national convention.
Fourteen of the delegates are avowed
Cullom men, four have been instructed
for Mckinley. but two of these four are
personal friends and strong supporters of
Mr.. Cullom. They were elected In Cul-
Mckinley men.
Says 10 Howard: 81 don't see how Gov
ernor Morton can hope to succeed as
against the marvellous popularity Of Nc
Kinley in the west and south and the ,in-
questioned idolatry which attends Reed
in the east. 1t seems to me that If in the
heat of the contest third party Is to
slip in between these chief gladiators the
west is much more likely to get 1t than
the east, In which event what's the mat
ter with Brother Ben. of 1ndiana?" Moth

his prospects will bear watching.
Senator Andrews has summarlly dis

Safeguards of Banking.

! spoke of the Meadowcroft banking case
| as having been passed upon by the
United States supreme court. We
| should have said the supreme court of
| Illinois. The law in Illinois, as we
| learn from the Chicago Times Herald,
reads that any person or company re-
| ceiving money or other transferable
valuable things when, at the time Of
| the receipt. the receiver is insolvent.
| the insolvency causing loss to the de-
| spositor of the thing received, shall be
deemed guilty of embezzlement: and
| it makes failure, suspension or involun-
| tary liquidation of the receiving party
| within thirty days after receipt of the
deposit prima facie evidence OF intent
| to defraud
In the argument Of that ease and in
| the subsequent public discussion IT has
been urged that a bank might be forced
| to suspend by causes over which 1t had
| no control: that the failure Of large
borrower, for example. of whose SOL
vency there could not possibly be the
least doubt up to the moment OF an
| nouncement of his failure. would pre-
cpitate a run or breed q panic. and
that banking institutions. absolutely
safe. and actually solvent, would be
thus preciptated into insolvency or
would be obliged to suspend pending
recovery of public composurc.
The supreme court of Illinois, how
ever, did not fail to make discrimina-
tion between general and special liza
bility. Its decision says that 'if one
is q banker or person doing bank
ing business Nand receives on deposit
the money of his customer, it is to be
presumed that he knows at the time OF
receiving such deposit whether or not
he is solvent: at all events, as he holds
himself out to the public and to his GUS
toners as being possessed of money
and capital and therefore to be safely
trusted. it is his duty to know, and he
Is. under all ordinary circumstances.
bound to know that he is solvent; and
it is criminal negligence for him not to
know of his solvency."
As the Chicago paper points out, the
clause under all ordinary clrcum-
stances implies that each case of ap-
parent liability under the statute would
have to be considered on it's own mer-
its. No jury would find n banker a
criminal whose suspension was due to
causes beyond his control. A banker
who manages his business honestly,
honestly in spirit as well as on his
books. has nothing to fear from the
law. Where a banker maintains a spu-
rlous solvency by writing up real es-
tate and other values to suit his bal
looming in speculation; where directors
and other favorites of banks loot vaults
without giving the same securities that
common borrowers have to furnish;
where loans are made on imaginary
collateral, solvency cannot be claimed
without overturning all the safeguards
of banking"
