AlIison,s Reappearance

Senator Allison was present at the
Chicago convention. That was his first
attendance on such an occasion in for
ty-four years. He was one of the tell
ers at the convention in 1860, when
Lincoln was nominated, and was the
first one to figure out that Lincoln had
the nomination. He told the chairman
and the latter announced the fact to
the convention. Although Mr.. Allison
is now in his sixth term as United
States senator. he was never before
sent to national convention as a dele
gate since 1850, and for some reason
did not attend in an unofficial capac
ity. 1t was long the custom of Iowa
not to include it's senators among it's
elegates.-Kansas City Star

POLITICAL ASSESSMENTS.
Chairman Cortelyou Says That the
Law Will Be Observed.

Chairman Cortelyou of the republican na-
tional committee has replied to the letter Of
Secretary Goodwin of the National Civil
Service Reform League asking for public
statement of his position in regard to the
enforcement of the provision of the civil
service law prohibiting the political assess
ment of officeholders. Mr.. Cortelyou says:
Prefacing my response to your letter
with the statement that the republican ma
tional committee has not countenanced nor
will it countenance directly or indirectly
any violation of existing law on the subject
of the assessment Of federal officeholders
for political purposes. 1 beg to say that 1
dc not think 1 am called upon to make any
public declaration of this fact. The records
of the candidates of the republican party In
this campaign show consistent adherence
to the better and spirit of genuine civil
service reform: and as the head of the COM
mittee having to do with the management
OF the campaign for their election 1 see
reason to assume. either from their record
or my own. that the public would be justi-
fled in any other conclusion than that the
influence of this committee would be
thrown in favor of rather than against a
strict compliance with the law"

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The further advance in the price of the
stock of the National Safe Deposit Com
pany was undoubtedly the center of In
terest In the trading at today's meeting of
the stock exchange. 1t was by no means
a dull day. and there were other occur
rences that would ordinarily have claimed
a larger share of attention.
For example, sale at 20 was made of
the preferred stock of the Washington Rail-
way Company, which naturally delighted
the heart of the broker who has been most
active in the dealing in this security. and
who predicted when the stock was much
lower that 1t would make the IS level by
Christmas. The upward progress was more
rapid than he had anticipated. that was all.
In the case of National Safe Deposit stock
the highest level reached In tedays sales
was 170A. A couple of days ago the best
bid for this stock was 152h. and the rise of
nearly twenty points in that brief period Is
unusual in the case of security of that
kind
The practical outcome of this movement
has been that the entire advance has
brought out less than 200 shares. Accord
Ing to the generally circulated idea. these
purchases mean that an effort is being
made to secure q control of the company.
