REPUBLICAN COUNTY COMMITTEE
DIR. Andrews is Elected Chairman by
the Candidates.

A we'll attended meeting of the
candidates on the Republican county
ticket was held at the office of Lorin
Cray Friday, for the purpose of de-
Gliding on chairman for the county
committee. The candidates wanted
to make Mr.. Cray chairman, but he
would not hear to it. A ballot was
taken and votes were cast for DR.. j
W. Andrews and Attorney IL. l..
Schmitt, but the former had the ma
jority and his choice was made unani,
nous. He will make an excellent
chairman. His we'll known push and
vigor are requirements of anyone who
would fill the office satisfactorily. Mr..
Schmitt would also have made
strong chairman, bu5 can afford to
wait for the honors that will come to
him in the future.
The delegation from each precinct
recommended a name for member of
the committee, except in three where
the delegations have not yet come to-
gether. In each instance, the person
recommended by the majority of the
delegation was appointed on the COM
mittee. Pleasant Mound was unrep-
resented in the convention, and the
candidates chose a member from that
town. The committee appointed is d
good one, and ought to do excellent
service.
The following is the full committee:

WINONA TAKES TWO.

The Winona base ball club defeated
the Mankato team Saturday by a
score twelve to nine, and again Sun
day in ten inning game by score of
two to one. Another game was played
today.
1t seems to be impossible for the
Mankato team to defeat the Winonas
on the latter's home grounds, although
it is done elsewhere. 1t would appear
that the umpiring at Winona is done
in the interest of the club of that
place.

No Conspiracy.
Blue Earth City Post:


We have been shown a letter re-
ceived in Blue Earth City from the
Hon. John +. Meagher, of Mankato,
in which be utterly repudiates
the statements purported to
have been made by him publish
ed in the Mankato Revieeo and
copied from that paper in good faith
into the columns of our neighbor,
the Register, in regard to the position
taken by the banks in curtailing
loans at the present time. Mr..
Meagher says that it is sample of
the misquotings and eXaggerations
made by the free silverites during
this campaign. He says that although
true Democrat he is in sympathy
with the Republican party and it's
candidate for president this fall, for
the reason that it is the only safe
thing to do under the declarations
and platforms of the two parties. AS
to the action Of the banks in curtail-
ing their loans and collecting past
due notes as fast as possible without
distressing it's debtors, the Post has
made careful inquiry and when un-
derstOod in the light of caution it
thinks that no one can consider it
otherwise than the honest, proper
thing for them to do. There is Il
possibility Of the election Of Mr..
Bryan-a remote one it is true, but
easiness of feeling in financial and
commercial circles, and it is the pos
sible mischance that capital is always
on the alert to fiuard against. Bryan
himself says thaa his election would
start temporary panic. What else
can the banks do to protect their
depositors and themselves, except to
keep their money we'll in hand for the
emergency if unhappily it should
arise. Nearly every bank in the coun-
try three years ago closed its doors
during the panic, and they might be
obliged to do the same thing in the
event of another if they were not pre-
pared to meet it in advance, and so
might the banks of Blue Earth City
and every other town. People who
are trying to prejudice the public
against banks and bankers in times
like these for the purpose of making
political capital are doing very
wrong thing and injuring all bust
ness. If a panic should arise our
banks will be prepared to meet it
with dollar for dollar, but they would
not be if they continued to loan their
patrons money out as fast as re-
ceived on deposit. They are doing
the safe and only right thing under
the circumstances. They are taking
care of their customers and distress
sing no one. The idea that there is
a conspiracy among the bankers to
contract and call in loans for political
effect and for the purpose of BULLDOG
ing voters is clap-trap, and as Mr..
Meagher puts it in his letter, rot"
Each bank is looking out for it's own
safety, and in doing so is beneftting
the public at large in case crisis has
to be met. The time is not long now
until the election matter will be de-
cided and in the meantime there will
be no injustice done anybody. If
matters clear up, as there are excel
lent reasons for believing, there will
be smooth sailing for business on the
calm and peaceful sea of prosperity.
