THE JUMP IN MONEY.

The approach of the election was sig
nalized in financial circles in New York
yesterday, as stated in the GAZETTE of
that date, by rapid and remarkable
advance in the money market. Soon
after the opening of the Stock Ex-
change there was great demand for
call money. The demand sent the
rates up until late in the day, when
100 per cent. was asked and so bid.
This was the closing quotation. The
immediate cause of the stringency was
the calling OF loans by some of the
banks. There was no occasion for
alarm, as the change was due chiefly
to the desire of the banks to strengthen
themselves in securing money to pro-
vide for November interest disburse-
ments. Money has not been so high
since the Barring panic some years ago,
when it went skyward in the same way.
Stocks were influenced by the strin.
gency of money and declines were gen.
eeral. The big financial institutions
made no attempt, as in previous panics,
TO relieve the situation.

T0-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS
New York Money Market.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-It was rumored
on Wall street before the opening of
business that an informal meeting of
CERTAIN bank presidents had been held
up town last night for the purpose of
extending every possible aid to stock
exchange firms. This action, it was
said, was due to the advance in call
loans to 100 per cent. yesterday. About
IL o'clock it was stated that meeting
of the bank presidents was held at the
Union League Club last night. They
decided to take measures to assist the
street, but not to issue clearing house
certificates. President ]. Edward ST.
mons, of the clearing house association,
said this morning: There is nothing
in the situation to excite alarm. The
banks are abundantly able to meet any
emergency that may arise and they will
do So"
A member of the clearing house says:
There was no large house or any hous~
es of good credit yesterday which did
not succeed in getting whatever funds
were required to enable them to meet
engagements" The fact that there was
no distress anywhere was clearly shown
by the total absence of cash stock in the
market. A few small stock brokers, as
sisted by malicious bears, made an arti
fetal rate for money that has excited
more ridicule than alarm. An investi-
cation, furthermore, proves that no one
laid down on his bank. There will be
no clearing house certificates issued.
Money on call ranged between 25A60
per cent. up to midday. The demand
was not quite as large as on yesterday
and the announcement by President
Simons, of the Clearing House Asso-
citation, that the banks are abundantly
able to meet any emergency had re-
assuring effect. The scarcity of money is
generally credited to the general hoard
ing OF money by the public. Business
in time loans and commercial paper is
practically at standstill. 1t is under
stood, however, that the mercantile
community will not be permitted to
suffer. So far as stock exchange Dor.
rowers are concerned, it is generally &C
cepted that anybody with reasonable
collateral will have no trouble in secur-
ing accommodations at per cent. and
interest for three days, or 36 per cent.

THE ANTI-BRTAN men seem now to
place their last real hope of success
upon the negro and the foreign vote.
Judging from the past, there is little or
no doubt that the entire vote of the
negroes, North and South, will be cast
for Mckinley, who spoke and voted for
the force bill, which was intended to give
them control of many districts aud OF
several States in the South. How the
foreign born vote of the North may be
cast we do not know, but that that OF
the South will not be unanimous for the
plutocratic ticket, is plain to every OBJ
server: indeed many of the most repu-
table and effective supporters of Mr..
Bryan in this city and State, and in all
the other Southern States, are not ma
tives of the South, but are better citi-
zens than some who are.

Kaiser Attempts Suicide.

YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, Oct. 30.-Charles

attempt to commit suicide last night in

After questioning him for several hours
the chief of police informed Kaiser that
he would have to lock him up in cell.
Kaiser replied that he would commit
suicide before he would DO locked up:
He quickly pulled out penknlie and
opening the blade made lunge at DIS
him before ne could do any injury to
himself and took the knife from him.
This morning Kaiser had several appar-
ent epileptic fits. The detectives say
that he is shamming. They express

MIR. BRYAN's HARD WORK.


After hard days campaigning, Mr..
Bryan returned to Chicago last night,
arriving at 7:15 p. N. A crowd of sew.
eral hundred people met him at the
depot and cheered Justify as he left the
car. He made eight speeches last
night.
When Mr.. Bryan finished speaking
last night at Brands Hall, Chicago, he
was in state bordering on collapse.
His voice failed near the end of his
speech, but he managed to finish in
comparatively good form.
When he left the hall he was sup
ported by two officers and walked with
considerable difficulty, his progress be-
ink barred at every step by the tre-
mendous crowd.
Once in the open air he quickly re-
covered. He said the day had been
particularly trying on him, but that
after nights rest he would be ready
to 60 through the same thing again.
Mr.. Bryan's three days in and
around Chicago have been probably
the most exacting of the campaign.
The weather has been unseasonably
warm and the atmosphere in the halls
where the candidate spoke has been
sutiocating.
AT every meeting last night at least
four women tainted and at one place
no less than ten were carried out.
Just before his train left Mr.. Bryan
had completely revived and said he
felt no i'll effects from his unpleasant
Brands Hall experience. lie was
ready, he said, for more hard work and
retired at once to his berth.

REPUBLICANS CLAIMS AND Plans
Secretary Edgerton, of the populist ma
tioual committee, has issued statement
ia regard to the preposterous claims
made by the republican committee in
regard to the election of Mckinley.
He says they are made with the idea
of fraud in all the doubtful States. Nc
Kinley on a fair vote, he claims, is
beaten now by an overwhelming MAORI
ty. The republicans realize this. Yet,
in the face Of it, they make claims Of an
enormous majority for Mckinley, but
give no figures to back up their claims
They depend upon outright purchase OF
voters and election boards to furnish
majorities they are predicting. Mr..
Edgerton then cites number of States
claimed by the republicans and presents
counter claims and figures intended to
show that they will be carried by
BRYAN.

FRIDAY EVENING, OCT. 80, 1886

As SOME OF those who at previous
elections have been charged by the re-
publicans, whether properly or other
wise. thew know best, with crookedness'
have now been employed by Mr..
Hanna. though for nominal service IN
the cause of the assistant republicans,
the gold boilers, it behooves the demo
cratic election officers and the democrat
ic managers to be on their guard against
the admission of fraudulent ballots into
the boxes. and, as means to that end,
to see that names which have no right
to be on the registration books be
eraced therefrom. 1t is currently re-
ported that in this city, and all over the
State, many negroes have been regis
tered who have no right to vote. II
this be so, they should be arrested at
once, made to tell who induced them
to apply for registration, and then they
and those who instigated them be pun
ished to the full legal degree; and this
should be done, not on election day,
when it would cause delay, but now,
so as to deter others from attempting
to violate Virginia's laws. The "abo-
litionists" say the condition now is as
serious as that of 1861. Ifthst be SO the
people of the South should not allow
themselves to be cheated out of their
lust rights. one of the greatest of which
is "free vote and fair count
