Bank Inspector Optimistic.

National Bank Examiner Claud
Catch of Salem was in Enterprise one
day list week, and examined the con-
dition of the Wa Iowa Natiol al bank
MIR. Catch is an optimist and is quite
enthusiastic over financial prospects
He says the bankers in the larger
towns and cities are already doing busi-
ness as if no panic had occurred, and
that in six months the squeeze will be
forgotten. AS showing how Oregon is
fenced in by Hartman Mr.. Catch says
in visiting the national banks Of this
state he is compelled to travel 400
miles by stage, that he reaches every
national bank in Montana with only 30
miles of stage travel, and every national
bank in Washington without mile OF
stage travel.

n very quiet in our part of the state.
Some Of the democrats are supporting Iait
for business reasons. They admire Bryan
personally, but are afraid of his Judgment
in selecting a cabinet, afraid of his aplnty
to get along with his own party saying
nothing of the discord that would be IN
the national government and the suspense
that would be in the public mind and It's
effect on the progress OF business pros
perity. Sheldon, In my Judgment, Will LEAD
everything on the ticket this year.
A., f. Edwards, Chairman Republican
State Committee of Wisconsin, think l
can assure you of a republican plurahty
close to 100, 900 In Wisconsin"
Gus Humphrey, Broken Bow-Bryan car
ried Custer county by 400 in 1896. He Will
lose It by 500 in this coming election. l
know something of the condition not only
in Custer county, but throughout the north
west part OF the state. If Bryan carries
Nebraska there has got to be a tremendous
landslide toward him in the eastern coun-
ties, and the men 1 meet from those eastern
counties tell me there is no such condition
there.
p. w. Scott, Chose County-Chase county
is safe for the republican ticket. My Judg-
ment is there will be no particular gain or
loss, but the regular party vote. Our corn
crop this year is worth $40 an acre. The
whole western part OF the state has de-
veloped wonderfully during the last few
years. High prices for farm produce have
caused a steady advance of land prices
People out our way would regard Bryan's
election as an Interference, for several
years at least, with our splendid business
progress.
w. Z. Hand, ex-Representative from Cass
County-We are losing no votes to Bryan In
the county, but are gaining some demo-
cratic votes in every country neighborhood.
Bryan will get a few republican votes in
the towns. There is no question but what
the advantage is with the republicans now
In the general trend of things. Sheldon and
Pollard will run way ahead of the ticket
in Cass county. You hear some talk among
democrats that they are tired of Mr.. Bryan
running so often.
c. b. Anderson, Crete-The republicans
will gain some as a net result in Saline
county. The farmers are we'll satisfied.
We will gain some democratic votes from
farmers who are a little tired OF Mr.. Bryan
and a little afraid that he is not quite
~leven-headed. Bryan will gain an occa-
sional republican vote in the towns. Shell
don is very popular. His administrator
is a drawing card for the whole ticket.
Each Of the republican state candidates
at our meeting in Crete an evening or two
ago were enthusiastically received by the
people there. There Is a general respect

ION July 2, last. the special counsel to
the Central Association Of Building Trades
OF New York. Mr.. Edward J. Gavangers'
submitted to that association an opinion
on injunctions, an opinion which was en-
dorsed by the Central association Of Build
ing Trades Of New York. In discussing
proposals to do away with or modify the
power OF issuing injunctions I'm Industrial
disputes, Mr.. Gavangers said the proposal
to do away with industrial disputes above
all else would be class legislation and In
the nature of special privilege and in the
line Of special privilege OF workingmen.
Special Privilege TO
" The special privilege Is what creates
powerful special interests. What the wage
Garner wants is equality before the Law
. 1t is playing into the hands OF the
special interests to enact laws, which, GER
tain Of annulment by the courts, even II
they are intended in good faith for the bet
terment OF wo%rkingmen. The special inter-
ests would rather see a thousand favorable
but unforcible new laws enacted for the
wage-earner than to nave him learn the
full power of a single existing remedy.
The remedies so far suggested and made
public cannot in the very nature of our
system furnish any needed relief .
This is admirable, sound commonsense
the opinion of the counsel to a great labor
body, endorsed and adopted as its own by
that labor party. 1t is a scathing con-
domination Of the proposals. but vicious and
chimerical. to which Messrs. Bryan and
Gompers are committed They promise
what would be in the highest degree detri-
mental to the interests Of the general pub
lie, II It could be performed, and which as
a matter of fact could not be performed.
1 believe In the intelligence Of laboring
men Of America, therefore l do not believe
that they can be misled to their own deep
hurt as Messrs. Bryan and Gompers seek
to mslead them; I do not believe that they
will permit Mr.. Gompers 20 deliver them
like chattels to Mr.. Bryan in exchange
for a sham. Sincerely yours,
