A New York special notes among the
many good signs of the times resulting
from the election of Mckinley, that the

into the banks in such food they see
their way clear to resume specie pay
ment. BY this action of the banks, the
metal will also be put into circation and

the results Of the national election of the
year of our Lord 1896.
