RAPID RISE OF ECKELS.
Ability Brings Him "a bank Presi-
dency at $4,000 IA Year.

CHICAGO, Nov An connection
with the report that Comptroller Eek
els had been chosen for president OF
the Commercial National bank, of Chi
cago. the Times-H Herald today says:
The salary of James H. Eckels, the
new president of the Commercial Ma
tional Bank, probably will be $4,000
The commercial National is one Of the
strongest banks of the city, and the
friends of Mr.. Eckels say that, in view
Of the flattering offers he received
from the East, not less than $500
wear would have brought him to Chi
cago, Says the chicago IlmeS-Her-
aid.
His salary as comptroller Of the cur
rency is $4,000 a year. He considered
that a very fair income four years ago.
April 4, 1893, he was In the senate
chamber at Washington when his nom
ination for comptroller was announced.
Ben Gable was with him. Mr.. Eckels
was surprised when he heard his name
read for the place, and Gable said:
'.That $4,000 is not so bad, either"
Four years and a half have brought
the comptroller great fame as an eco
nomic thinker and real financial re-
ward. His life's future may now be
said to be made. His identity is
merged into the financial progress of
Chicago.
In a large sense, Mr.. Eckels owes his
advancement to his present high posi-.
ton to Grover Cleveland's faculty Of
divining latent ability in untried men.
When Cleveland was governor of New
York, Mr.. Eckels was a law student
at Albany He was gifted with an
aptitude for close application to his
studies, and had bump Of financial
sense. He made the acquaintance of
Cleveland, and warm friendship rose
between the two men, widely separated
as they were in ages.
On Cleveland's second election to the
presidency in 1892, Mr.. Eckels was a
resident of ottawa and became can
didate for the Office of United States
district attorney for the district of
Northern Illinois. He was Endorsed
by the best Democrats and received
favorable word from the president.
place developed that party harmony
was threatened and Mr.. Eckels with
drew from the race for the office.
He then applied for the position of
director of the mint, and was told by
the president that the position would
be his The day the first big batch
of nominations went to the senate Mr..
Eckels was present and then learned
for the first time that he was not only
slated for the comptrollership but
had the position. He promptly ac-
cepted, and announced views in regard
to currency reforms that met the ap-
prevail of eminent financiers in all
parts Of the country. The fact was
instantly appreciated that he was
safe man, although so young as to be
considered almost boyish.
Mr. Eckels is opposed to the free
coinage of silver and an ardent tariff
reformer, his views on the latter SUBJ
ject being almost identical with those
Of Mr. Cleveland. Since his installa-
