County, for instance. Never mind whether he's a Democrat,
Republican, Prohibitonist or anything else politically, so long as
he's honest, fair and fearless and has the faculty of getting at the
bottom of things. The field of operations is a rich one. And
the need of inquiry, exposure and remedy are urgent and press
ing. The crimes committed last Tuesday in connection with the
primaries in Jersey City struck at the very, foundation of demo-
cratic government and brought the administration of the law into

The monetary shock caused some
deep inroads on prices, but the re-

some substantial gains. Before the
day was over revised construction

which caused the opening break in

a motion to appoint a committee of
five to investigate the affairs of the
bank was voted down. The motion
to accept the proposition of the bank
to pay all depositors in year at
three, six. nine and twelve months,
ten, twenty, twenty and fifty per
cent, was carried by large major
ity. The opposition came from the
Nagle end, which wanted a receiver

State Bank
Sees Light

Light seems to be dawning for the
State Bank and Trust Company and
for the Nye and Ormsby. There was
meeting of the depositors of the
former yesterday afternoon, and it
was the unanimous expression of the
depositors that the terms of Presi-
dent Hickey be accepted
The terms are as follows: The
depositors will be paid ten per cent
of their holdings in ninety days;
twenty per cent additional in six
months; twenty per cent additional
in nine months, and the balance in
year. Certificates will be issued to
this effect. One of the depositors
who was at the big meeting objected
to the arrangement. but he after
wards told Cashier Cushman that he
had to think it over, and that he
would probably sign with the rest
of the depositors.
The meeting was held in Miners
Exchange hall, and was called to or
der by Mr.. Cushman, who explained
its object, and then called Mr. Wana-
colt to the chair. Quite number
of speakers addressed the meeting,
all speaking on the lines laid down
by the bank, and when the motion
was put it was carried by a vive voce
vote, and the depositors were very
enthusiastic over the settlement. An
agreement was produced, which con-
tained the terms of the settlement,
and everybody requested to sign. the
paper. 1t was stated that the State
Bank would remain open the rest of
the day and all day tomorrow for the
purpose of obtaining the signatures
of those who might not have been at
the meeting.
Those who were present, showed
their good faith by going to the desk
and signing the agreement, and the
feeling over the matter was very
good.
