A UNITED PARTY.

J
Republicans are uniting IN this
county as they have not done before
in many years. They realize that
the fight for congress Is between Mr..
Hoarnc and Major Nicely. Mr.. lIcarnc
has the best Of the situation in the
district as whole but the Democrats
are claiming Marion county for Mr..
Nicely on the ground of local pride.
They cannot stand on the tariff is
sue and ask for support with very
good grace since every industry Of
the county practically will be in
jured more or less by the tariff lcgis-
iati0n now contemplated. 1t is not Il
question Of local pride with the Re
publican party but question o.
what is best to do for the country as
whole and a question of principle.
Many Republicans wanted to see the
nomination come to this county but
since Mr.. Hearne has shown that lie
is game fighter was willing to ac-
cept this nomination at a time when
his chances were in doubt, he is en-
titled to the hearty support Of every
regular and progressive Republican
in this county who believes in the
Republican principles of a protcctiv"
lIri:f. .......
From present indications the bet
ting odds will be very largely in Mr.
iIearno's favor and that his majority
will reach the splendid total of 1000
is well within tho possibilities that
will be shown by the vote.

CURRENCY BILL NEEDS REVlS'
ING.
ING.

II Is fast becoming the general
opinion throughout almost every 10
cality of the United States that the
currency bill must be revised, ana
revised extensively, before 1t Will
answer the purpose for which 1t is
intended. The objections to the bill
are many aud varied. Some bankers
see one fault. others see another, but
that there are faults, and serious
ones, too, Is the most universal 0pin'
ion.
+. A. Drury, Of Worcester, Mass,
voiced the sentiments Of the small
or bankers of New England when he
appeared before the senate banking
and currency committee last week.
He said that while the small banks
we're in favor of some provisions Of
the bill, they believed its demands
too heavy upon them. Unless some
of these were made easier, he said
country banks in Massachusetts
would find it to their advantage to
surrender national charters and stay
out of the system, The principal
objection, lie said, was that country
bankers believed the system would
take away from themselves the con
troll of part of their capital and
would place it in the hands of "po'
litically controlled boards"
