POLITICAL NOTES.

All hope of a settlement between the Mckinley
League and the Plat people in Chemung County
has been abandoned. Colonel Baxter who IS the
State machine leader has undertaken 10 carry
the county. The gauntlet which he threw down
has been taken up promptly by Dix ". Smith. the
president Of the Mckinley League. and. whatever
may be the result, the impending fight the
primaries Is going to be Of the hottest ever
that famous old battlefield Mr. Fassett
Is with the Platt people. but keeps in the back
ground Some Of his friends insisted that he was
neutral, but this notion dispelled when The
Elmra Advertiser" came out the other day with
vigorous attack upon the League. This attack
has stirred up so much feeling that the League
people are considering the question of starting
new Republican paper In opposition 10 Mr.. Fas
sett's organ 1t IS understood that IL Baxter wins
he will receive the nomination for County judge
and have Platts support for the office The
League people recognize the fact that the odds
against them are tremendous, but IL is conceded
on all sides that President Smith is conducting a
splendid fight.

WANTS LOAN CERTIFICATES.
Head of New York Clearing House Com

New York, August 22.-An evening pa

mittee will hold a meeting Monday
morning to consider applications for loan
certificates. Frederick ID. Happen, chair
man of the committee, made that an
nounoement this morning. He was ayerse
to the Issuance of loan certificates at this
time, because he thought generally
speaking, the need was not sufficiently
urgent, except perhaps in some indiyld-
ual cases. 1t was undoubtedly a fact,
added Mr.. Happen, that the pressure for
money from the country for moving the
crops and from mercantile sources was
very great. 1t had been urged In some
quarters that an issuance of clearing
house loan certificates at this time might
have bad effect politically, but while
on this point, Mr.. Happen said that
though he did not profess to be judge
he was Of the opinion that the issue of
certificates at this time would be bene-
icial, politically as well as financially,
rather than harmful. OF the great pres
sure for money from country banks and
from merchants and manufacturers,
there was no doubt andsthe issuance of
loan certificates. besides enabling the
banks to comply with these demands,
would also place more cash at their Edis-
posal. Mr.. Happen said that he did not
fear that ourrsnoy would be locked ND or

ance of loan certificates. a
