He Explains His Request Relating to the
sednlia National Bank.

SEpALIA, Mo-, Aug. 31.-United States Sena-
tor George G. Vest has addressed q letter to
Congressman James Cooney Of the Seventh
Missouri district in reply to a recent communi-
cation from James Fl. Eckles, Comptroller Of
the Currency, in which the reader was led to
infer that Senator Vest had requested in 1894
that the proposed examination Of tbs Sedalia
First National Bank, in April Of that year. DO
deferred until certain that the banks assets
could be realized upon. The letter Is as fol-
lows:
my attention hns been called to a letter Of
tho 22d inst. from the Hon. ]. II. Eckels. Comp
troller Of the Currency, to the Hon. James
Cooney, in which the statement is made that In
April. 1894, l requested the postponement Of AN
examination by the National Bank Examiner
OF the First National Bank Of Sedalia. The
facts are simply these:
I'm March, or April, 1894, Mr.. Cyrus Now.
Kirk, President Of the bank, and Mr.. J. @.
Thompson, the cashier, wrote me that an exam
ination of the bank was about to be made he.
fore the time fixed by the established rule Of
the Comptroller. and that. on account Of a false
Institution had failed, and the additional fact
that on account Of the stringency prevailing
they were unable to collect there was danger Of
a run on the bank If an examination war made
before the regular time. They requested me to
lay these tacts before the Comptroller Of the
Currency. Believing them to be honest men,
and that their statements were true. ] did SO.
! have no apology to make, and hope there will
be the fullest investigation. g.. q. VEST"
