There is nothing to indicate an carly ccsso-
ton OF the demand for funds at Interior
points. Tho interior banks are drawing
down their deposits IN Kew York very rap
idly. If the statement foreshadows any
thing il IS that loaniIg rates will be adj
Vanced 20 a higher figure than that now
prevailing, but this contingency VIII only
hasten the time of gold imports with con-
stant decline in quotations. That there VIII
be any stringency is imbrobable. The con-

nrms this v.ew. For the first time in their
history perhaps. the banks now mold over

one OF the stocks advanced that has had

The higher prices of many stocks are

A PROTEST..
A Strong Delegation Of Fairmont
Citizens in Charleston to Fight
the New County Bill-Attorney
General Riley to Argue a Murder
Case-Judge Golf Expected.

Special to the Register.
Charleston, w. Va, January 3l.-A
considerable delegation of prominent
men have arrived from Fairmont to
protest against the organization OF the
new county of Augusta. Among them
are Judge w. S. Raymond, a. J. Stone,
B. L. Butcher. n. d. Helmick and w.
Scott. Gov. Fleming has been here
several days looking up data. Col.
Clarence /. Smith and Hon. o. S. Nc
Kinney were also amC s those who
came from FairmOnt. but they have
other business. Col. Smith comes to
ask his friends to vote for the Military
bill. There are fears expressed that the
bill will not get through the House,
though some believe it will so through
with a safe majority. There is no
doubt of the passage OF the bill in the
Senate.
Attorney General T. S. Riley. of
Wheeling. and Judge Okey Johnson, OF
Morgantown. are here to appear in the
Musgrave murder case, from Mononga-
liza county, which will be reheard in the
Supreme Court.

The majority, however, were subservi-

through.
It was a caucus within a caucus and
is a fair exemplifcation Republican rule
as it has been and will be under the
new administration at the City Hall.
There is not a man in the whole lot
that dares dispute the power of the
ring outside of a very few, and these
will probably be soon whipped into
line.
In other words the city government
is in the hands of a few designing pc
liticaI tricksters. who run it as they
please. and in so doing take care not
10 neglect their own interests.
