the nomination was left an open Ques-
ton.
At the very moment when the Mayor
was renOuncing guberna torial ambi-
ton the County Democracy. assembled
for Its annual meeting and installation
of officers. was showing a disposition
to make him run. The speakers, with
noticeable unanimity. talked about
what came of the Republican "lOve
feast" In Springfield last week, and
made the developments there the rea-
son for again urging the nomination of
Mayor Harrison for Governor A CON-
pOslte condensation Of their arguments
runs:
"The Observation-Disclosures machine
is behind Judge Hanecy, and probably
will nominate him. On account of the
character of his support he will not
stand in better light before the people
than Tanner himself would. Person
ally he IL not nearly so hard n candi-
date for us to face. because, while he
might do a shade better than Tanner
In Cook County. he cannot command
the stanch. aggressive following that
Tanner could In the country" The
Mayors own ideas on the whole ques-
ton were put In these words:
~ am not candidate for any Job. I
have enough to do In carrying out the
duties of my present Office, and am
not u candidate for Governor. do
not see how Judge Hanecy can attend
to his judicial duties properly II he
goes around the country to love feasts
and urging voters in country towns to
back him for the Republican nominal
ton for Governor. have no time to
do anything like this. I am not root
ing for any office, and will not do SO as
long ns am Mayor Of Chicago"
Congressman Walter Reeves and
Charles +. Hitch reached Mount ver-
non Saturday night on Mr.. Reeves

cording to telegraphic advices they

say. the callers continued to come In
such numbers that the hotel corridors
were absolutely choked. and progress

impossible.
Hon. james II. Eckels, former Comp.
troller of the Currency, speaking Of

Federation, expressed the opinion that
'the subtreasurIes were largely respOn.
sible for the Wall street furry, by
causing a stringency in the money
market. Into these subtreasuries mill.
Ions Of dollars are cast daily, and re.
main idle, instead Of flowing through
the channels Of circulation"
At a critical moment, rs Mr.. Eckels
looks mt II, Mr.. Gage flung himself into
the breach and rescued his country by
divcrting the Idle millions from the
subtreasurles to the banks. Mr.. Gage
acted wisely ana well. BY and by
