The moment 1t became apparent that
McKinley's success was assured a revi-
val OF business set in al this point. 1t
may not have been noticeable 10 the cas-
ual observer, but il IS fact. 1t was
observable at the banks the morning af-
ter election and has kept up ever since
During the two weeks before the el-c-
ton ii was apparent 10 everybody who
watched the drift Of business that If Bry-
an was successful a great panic would
| have set in. The fact OF the matter is
that during the two weeks previous 10
the day OF the election the deposits at
the banks were scarcely anything while
the Withdrawals OF money were very
steady but quiet. Accounts were allow
ed to run very low. II really made no
difference 10 the banks as they were not
loaning money anyway and heavy funds
had accumulated. II thsy had been loan
ing money heavily during the three pre-
ce3ing months the lack OF deposits and
the quiet Withdrawals might have hurt
them. One prominent banker told re-
porter for the Eagle last night that his
institution had not issued certificate OF
deposit for two weeks before the election
while on the DAY following the election
one man was kept busy issuing them and
for large amounts. Yesterday the de-
posits in his bank were larger than dur
ing any average day for several years
The people had been boarding their mon

was practically decided they felt a relief.
put their money back into safe keeping
and are now sleeping more soundly. The
result Of the heavily increased bank de-
posts and the restoration OF confidence
means more money in circulation and
better times.
The scare was not exclusively among
any class OF people. Men Of all poli-
tical faiths feared IL. Nearly every
body conceded that the change from one
financial policy 10 another would cause
immediate trouble whatever they believ-
ed about ultimate results. No matter
what these people think OF the future
they all agree that times viii be better
now. The people who have money are
elated over their success and IL is not un-
reasonable 10 believe that they will shove
ii out to the people with more confidence
Three big deposits in gold were made at
one bank yesterday and for the first time
in several weeks gold was paid out. This
looseuing up partly on account OF the
demand at the Chicago sub-treasury for
currency in exchange for gold.
Among business people there is great
confidence and better faith in every
thing IL viii grow greater as the in
augurGtion OF Major Mckinley ap-
proaches and as the tone OF his message
viii undoubtedly be friendly 10 the busi-
ness interests. good times may be looked
for riSh, along.
In local buciness circles II IS somewhat
regretted that Kansas did not join in the
great Republican victory. Its credit
would have been much improved II il
