hotly contested.
Alternating with the two bicycle events
were a 1O0-yard dash and a 44o ruu and
sandwiched in between the lot were two
contests IN which the NatioGa' ,,uardsntn
had a chance TO win and lose prizes. The

back and the race was more Of a process

pace. They finally finished the mile an

body else that no special effort was made
to make good time. by any one, the con-

that 1t was declared no race, and in conse-

event.

From whatever standpoint this mans

predict that before this campaign Is

as for his election. we suspect that that
will almost take care Of itself.

laration Is made In favor OF arbitration
between employees and employers but
no specific legislation is demanded. A
declaration is made in favor of liberal
pensions and the present administra-
ton Is denounced for dropping from the
rolls without examination deserving

Nicaragua canal by the United States

Upon the whole the document is an

SCRANTON TR1BuNE-FR1OAY MORNING. JUNE 10, 1896

New York Journal Of Commerce holds
views very similar to those Of Mr.. Ciews.
In its opinion the farmers want o re-
source of credit Of which they may avail
themselves when they have no means Of
getting money. and the most effective cura
for the silver delusiOn will be found In
measures providing this source Of credit.
Farmers lack working capital and are
compelled to p3y interest at the rate or
Is to % per cent Is 1t strange that they
should jump at the conclusion that cheap
er money would mean salvation to them
Manufacturers and merchants, with ample
capital. lind it necessary to borrow very
largely, and the banks supply their wants
through loans and discounts. without
these they would be as badly pinched as
the farmers. and the lessons OF 1888 and
ether panics sufficiently indicate the TN
portance of credit even In the largest In
dustrial centegs. The Journal OF COM
merce therefore asks American tlnsnciers
to form banks and associations modelled
upon the Scottish and continental Eli
ropean institutions that are extending cash
credits to farmers.
While it is true that there Is nothing I'M
practicable about this suggestion. and that
institutions of the kind proposed would ba
alike beneficial 10 the borrowers and rea-
sonabiy profitable to lenders. 1t Is doubt.
full whether the remedy would be very et-
fective. Perhaps by q system Of co-opera-
tive and mutual banks the farmers could
help themselves better than they could
be helped by any other scheme. But 1t Is
widely felt that nothing but radical and
comprehensive banking reform by lesls-
lation can counteract the silver agitation
and remove the menace to business in

For vice.President, Oarret A. Hobar

For Vlce.President, Oarret A. Hobart.
The nomination Of Hon. Garrett A..
Hobart. of New Jersey, for the vice.
presidency has been foreshadowed for
the past few days. 1t places upon the
ticket q man who Is recognized In his
own state as one Of its foremost citi-
zens; a Republican whose service to
the party 10 cO-extensive with his pub
lice career, and the representative o: a
section which by its recent repudia-
tion Of Democratic misrule has fairly
entitled itself to substantial recogni-
ton.
Mr.. Hobart and Major Mckinley are
both young and vigorous men, just in
the prime Of mature manhood. They
are intimate personal friends. Be
tween them there will be none of the
friction which has characterized the re-
lations Of the present executive and his
substitute. In addition to this, the
nomination Of Mr.. Hobart pays well
come honor to the stalwart element
which is gradually breaking down the
solidity Of the South, and will be the
signal for a general stiffening of the
lines of Republican battle In the terri
tory once deemed hopelessly Demo-
cratic.
