BANK FAILURE.
But Sixteen Dollars Found in the Vault Upon
 Examination.

Goldfeld, New, May 23.-The Gold field Bank and Trust company with lia- bilities of $78,227, has failed. The as- sets so far discovered are $4,S21, of which N,S00 is in notes. There was $16 in the vault and five dollar gold piece was found under the counter.
 The most disorganized state of af- fairs seems to exist in the books of the bank. J. B. Young, president of the bank, is also president of the Gold field Ldda Investment company. Two checks drawn on the John Cook bank here by W. K. Hale, of San Francisco, each for 5000, in favor of Francis l.. Burton, promoter of the Goldfeld Lida Investment company, were recently paid by the insolvent bank. One of these checks was dated the twenty. third and was paid on the twentieth. It was evidently presented at the Cook bank by the Goidfield Bank and Trust company as it is stamped "No funds" W. K. Hale having no account there. The bank has two cashier debit slips, one for $36,30O and another for $7,2OO account stocks and bonds as col lateral.
 Cashier James R Boals was found at Hawthorne late last night. A tele- gram has been received from Burton in San Francisco denying that he nas anything to do with the failure and stating that President Young is there with the banks collateral endeavoring to get assistance.

Goldfeld is a new mining town in the heart of the newly discovered gold country of southwestern Nevada.

San Francisco, May 23.-J. B. Young. president of the GOldfield Bank and Trust company, declared that he had nothing to do with bringing about the crisis in the banks affairs He declal ed he was opposed to the manner in which the bank was conducted by it's cashier and directors.
 According to Young, he sold his stock in the bank and denies that he fled from Goldfield. On the contrary. he says, he came to San Francisco for a brief trip and that he intends to re- turn to the mining town as soon as pos sibIe.
 Young does not believe that the lia- bilities of the bank will exceed SlOO.- OOO and he says that it should have as. sets enough to meet this amount.

What was doubtless an attempt at

nesday night, when some one broke
into the Walter Cotter cotton eX
change by breaking the lock on the
front door and effecting an entrance
into the building. Nothing whatever
was molested. SO far as known, which
lends color to the theory of an at
tempted bank burglary on the part of
the would-be burglar
Still further evidence OF this intcn-
ton on the part of the miscreant who
entered the building is found in the
fact that the Walter Cotter exchange
was formerly occupied by The Pil,,
Bluff Trust company. This fac leaves
little doubt in the minds OF the officers
as to the intentions of the offender.
The incident created ripple of eX

CLEAN SWEEP IN OHIO
: y
ELECTION OF PATTiSoN ASSURED
AND DEMOCRATS WILL CON-
TROu LEGISLATURE.
Senator Foraker Blames Political
Autocracy for ousting of
Republicans.

Columbus, Ohio. Nov. 10.-John NJ
Pattison, Democrat, Is elected COVER
Lor of Ohio by about $4,000 plurality
over Myron T. Herrick. Republican.
Chairman CARRIER of the Democratic
state central committee, put Pattison's
lead at $4,000, and Senator Dick, head
OF the Republican organization, con-
ceded $4,000.
Impartial judges Of the situation be-
Eeve that Mr. Pattison Will have a
much more substantial plurality than
the Republicans admit. The same may
be said of the Republican estimates of
tie complexion of the next legislature.
These estimates give the Democrats
two to five majority in the state SEN
ate, and from ten to fifteen in the
house. The Democrats claim lead
of five in the senate and twenty-seven
in the house.
There will be changes in results be-
fore all returns are in. But it Is appa-
rent that if substantial gains are made
It will be by the Democrats.
oeafeat Due to "Bossism.'
Both sides-or the men on both
sides who dare to speak their thoughts
frankly-unite in saying that "boss-
ism" and nothing else caused the over
throw of the strongly entrenched Re-
publican party. Chairman CARRIER OF
the Democratic committee gave hi,
view Of the situation in these words:
when any party has been for
long time in power it is inclined to be-
come dictatorial and in the course of
time a few men are apt to try to run
things-in short, "bossism" arises.
Then comes revolution. This is the
revolt of the people against that sor'
CT thing which was exenplified By Cox
and his methods in Hamilton county
Then this year, for the first time in
many years, all the elements of the
Democratic party worked together
unitedly and harmoniously. And our
organization has been good in all but
half a dozen counties.
Again, there was the Brannock law
and, the governors action in regard to
ii, which aroused the best people of
the state, aligning them against the
party in power. And the Inheritance
tax and the other vicious legislation
for which the Republican party was

Foraker Sees Reason.

On the Republican side. Governor
FIcrrick was too hopeful of possible ia
vorable developments to make state
n.ent. but Senator Foraker bluntly pro
claimed political autocracy the cause
OF Republican losses. He said:
The defeats we have sustained
have no relation to national politics.
but are due solely to local causes
Whether right or not. the belief OBJ
tains that the great mass OF voters
have not had any proper representa-
ton in nominating conventions and
that a nsan with an ambition to en-
gage in the public service had no op-
portunity unless he was fortunate
enough to be put on a prearranged
slate II was natural to expect that
sooner or later this would be resented.
In large part this is what the defeat
of yesterday means
Mr. Pattison, the next governor, is
taking his victory modestly He is
not making any boasts as to what he
will oy will not do. He said
