The political managers OF the Demo<
cratic campaign In Ohio are in a con-
dition which cannot be adequately de-
scribed in language that would look
we'll in the columns of Republican
newspaper. 1t may suffice for all pur-
poses to say that they are between the
two horns OF dilemma, and with that
polite Interpretation of the language
used by some of the Democrats them
selves, the truth is sufficiently sug-
gested.
The party is hopelessly split over the
question whether or not free silver
shall be made part OF the platform.
The Democrats are divided into three
factions; the free silver Democrats,
the sound money Democrats and the
Democrats who are for the policy that
is likely to bring the offices. The free
silver Democrats have been encour-
aged in their course by the free
silver Republicans, like Teller and
Towne. who have offered their services
in that state. John X. Mclean, who
was a candidate for the United States
senate, and notwithstanding his report
ed withdrawal, viii be again il Dem
ocratic legislature is elected, has come
TO the conclusion that under existing
circumstances free silver as a cam
paign cry would mean inevitable de-
feat. He is not the only offceseeker
In Ohio who would be willing to throw
a principle overheard for his own adj
vancement. but Teller aud his asso-
ciates are looking TO the presidential
campaign, and they insist that free sill
yer shah be made an issue even II the
Democrats have to submit 20 defeat
this year, and the result should be
the retirement Of Mclean. They are
just as positive that to leave out free
silver is to invite a heavy loss IN the
Democratic vote. because in every 9TH
er respect the people are content with
the present result which seemed to have
followed the election Of Mckinley.
What IS worrying the Democratic
managers most is that they are relying
upon a large number OF former Repub-
Leans. whose only reason for deserving
old political associations is the free
silver plank. and unless that be adopt
cd by the Democrats in their state
platform the Republicans will have no
reason 70 remain ont OF the party with
which. IN all other respects. they
would prefer TO be identified.
The conditions have changed SO re-
markshly in the state Of Ohio. as else
where in the country. since the last
campaign, that the Democratic leaders
are entirely az sea. Ohio Is a doubtful
state, and IL the hard times had con-
tinued II would probably have followed
its usual course in al of year and re-
versed the vote Il gave in the presi-
Dental year. But the predictions Of
the frca silverites during that cam
palgn have been refuted 70 an extern.
that makes them look absurd. while
the assurances Of the Republicans have
been borne ont even far beyond the
measure Of expectation. and the Demo-
cratic leaders do not know which way
20 turn.

POSTAL AND PRIVATE SAVINGS
BANKS.

The agitation In favor OF postal saw
ings banks is spreading in the East,
and has received quite an impetus
from the declaration of Postmaster Gen.
eral Gary that he favors the plan He Is
collecting information regarding the
methods and experiences OF other eoun-
tries and proposes to make recon-
mendation to congress in December.
The only opposition taking form
worthy OF consideration is that II will
jeopardize savings banks already in
operation. This seems to be entirely
unwarTanted. The postal savings bank
will be principally used by people who
are not within reach of savings bank,
and by those whose savings are so small
that they are ashamed TO present them
selves at an ordinary banking institu-
ton. Private savings banks were thor
oughly we'll established In England and
some other countries when the idea
of the postal savings bank was first
put into effect, and IL did not result In
the failure OF any of them. The sue
cess of the institution has been so
great that a proposal to abolish IL
would be regarded as absurd. 1t was
dorided in the beginning, but IL has
taken such a hold upon public favor
that IL is estimated one person out OF
every six in Great Britain has an ac-
count with the government, and their
savings aggregate $500. 600, 900.
Tm convenience OF making deposits
Of sums that would be trifiing of them
selves is sufficient recommendation:
but the absolute certainty which the
system affords that no loss can by any
possibility ensue, brings out of stock
ings. chimneys, old stoves and other
unsafe receptacles sums which under
no circumstances would the timid own
ers entrust TO banks.
The extent TO which the postal saw
ings banks are used abroad is shown
by statistics complied by the Bulletin
dc Statistiaue. and published In its is
sue for April of this year. II shows
that In Great Britain 1e4 persons In ev-
cry 1000 are depositors, while in Bel
GUM the percentage is 1864 in each
l.00o; in Holland. 104: Italy. l02;
Sweden. 50; France. 81. and Austria,
~. These figures show a large in
crease over the percentages Of the
previous year. which were: United
Kingdom. 157; Belgium. 1855: Italy.
%; Holland $3.50: Sweden. rs; France.
%. and Austria, -.
We have not the statistics showing
the relation of private savings banks
to postal savings banks anywhere, ex-
oeDt Ia Great Britain. and there the
postal banks held siSe .344.S75. rough
ly figuring. against $226. SOB. SOS in pri-
vate savings banks. But the most i'm
portant fact is that the deposits in the
trustee banks. as they are called there.
have materially increased since the es-
adjustment OF postofnce banks. and
the private banks have benefited ny the
transfer of large accounts from the
postal 20 the private banks when tho
depositcr's savings have reached the
maximum amount which he Is allowed
to deposit. The postal system. there
fore. Is a positive advantage TO The pri-
Yatc savings banks.
