DENIED THE REQUEST.

New York. Jan. 9.-It is learned from
a number of prominent banks in this city
that they have been requested often in
the past few days to open gold accounts.
These requests have come from custom
ers, including some banks in the interior,
The banks. however, have invariably re-
sponded in the negative to such requests,
citing facts that they would not be justi-
fed by their clearing house in opening
gold accounts. The result has been that
banks with large vault room have re-
ceived a great deal of gold within the
last few days. which they are now mere
ly holding as safe deposit agents for the
account of country banks.

ergetic Republican. for party success
In the campaign to come is not open to
doubt. His is type of Republicanism
which does not measure party fealty
by personal opportunity or restrict its
political activities To the selfish pas
time of trying to get square with
those who are fairly favored by the
fortunes of political warfare.

Of LuEerne county resolutions Of in
struction were adopted on Monday fav-

remaining district II was thought ad-

but there is little doubt that the dele
gates from that district will cooperate
with the other delegates from Luzerne
county in their endeavors to promote
the success of Mr. Miners candidacy.
The result of this unanimity is sure
to be beneficial to the party's prospects
in Luzerne county, which is evidently
destined to press closely upon Lacka-

moral forces and tendencies which under

which assist in the conservation of free

manence of civilization. The judgments
so delivered were formed by me after
careful deliberations; and. In their pre-

guments tending to sustain them were ad-
vanced.
We think any fair-minded reader will
concur in the opinion that as an eX-

record. That the ambassador of the
United States at foreign court should
deem himself free, before, non n-poitical

campaigns. to utter harrangues de-

generation. Does Mr. Bayard mean to

In point of party service, Mr.. Hart

Speed the Vladuct 4!

The cordial Endorsement by the Board
of Trade of the new viaduct project Is
another gratifying proof of the gradual
subsidence in Scranton of sectional
jealousies and prejudlces The point
made by Mr.. A. w. Dickson that the
building of this needed Improvement
would prove as beneficial, in tending to
solidify the city as in saving life and
promoting the public convenience Is
timely and forceful, and it will deserve
to be carefully considered by the cleo
tors when they vote on the proposition
of bonding the city for the viaducts
construction.
The Tribune, In this matter as in all
other prudent projects of similar intent,
stands for a Greater Scranton. 1t be-
lieves that a benefit to any particular
section Is a benefit to all the sections,
and that the viaduct should be as much
a matter of concern to the South Slider
or to the resident of Sanderson Hill as
to the people of Hyde Park or the North
End. Every year of mutual growth
tends to bring these various parts or
the city together into a symmetrical
whole. Every new improvement which
facilitates safe inter- communication Is
q bond of union. indissoluble forever at
terward.
In the case of the new bridges 1t may
be years before the full measure of their
advantage will be made apparent: but
in the case. Of the proposed viaduct the
benefit to result would appear imme-
diately. No fair-minded Scrantonian.
after a personal scrutiny of the present
danger to life and limb of the unpro-
tected railroad crossings on west
Lackawanna avenue, can truthfully
say that viaduct is not needed. There
has, in fact, never been dissent to this
self-evident proposition. Whatever
past objection has been inspired by
faulty details in the plans for a via
duct has now been removed; and there
should therefore be substantial unanim"
ity in speeding the amended project to
final consummation.
