NATIONS BANKING POSITION.

novelty which calls for attention. II
chances to coincide with other domes-
tic and foreign regrettablc incidents,
and for that reason needs TO be distln-
guished from them. Analysis shows
that the decline is not what 1t seems,
even in itself, and much of its .appar-
ent significance is offset by compari-
son with other banks. On such comparison
it appears that the missing funds are
, rather shifted than lost Half of the shrink
age is in government deposits, and good
share of that is due to changes in the
manner Of doing business. the treasury
has resolved against further borrowing,
and has no further use for the elaborate
system of government repositories which
placed the Liberty loans. Accordingly,
the deposits which entitled the banks to
claim that governmental relation have
been called in, and the treasury loses the
interest which the hanks paid on the de-
posts On the other hand, the treasury no
longer incurs interest obligations on what
is borrowed to lend the banks of more than
double its interest loss The larger part

Will We Have a Pres ident Name Smith


The natural surprise that has been
created over the failure of New York
State to appear in the political lists with
a full-fedged aspirant to the Democratic
nomination for President. backed by the
entire party organization, may soon be
dissipated. movement he's b cen IN
aug1irated there to send q solid elegation
to the San Francisco convention in sup
port Of the nomination of Governor Alfred
L. Smith. Tammany Hall has not yet
made an expression in respect of the Presi-
dental nomination. but if faced with the
duty of decision, that powerful or
ganization would not be likely to inter
pose any opposition. For Governor
Smith is prominent member of Tam
many. although in other respects he is Il
man of high character and of unusual ex-
ecutive ability.
New York has had numerous aspirants
to the Presidency, and has given to the
country three elected Observation-Disclosures
Van Buren. Grover Cleveland and Theo
dore Roosevelt. New York presented
Governor Samuel ]. Tilden, in 1876,
but although no received majority of
the popular vote. and in the opinion OF
many good citizens a majority of the
Electoral College, fate, Republican Chi
canery and theft. and the Electoral Com
mission gave the Presidency to Hayes.
New York also has had two other
Presidents MiIlard Fillmore and Chester
A. Arthur-who succeeded TO the office
after the death OF President Zachary
Tavlor and President James A. Garfield,
respectively.
Governor Smith. supported by tho
solid delegation of the Empire State, un-
doubtedly would be a formidable COM
petitor for the Democratic nomination for
President. The fact that he was elected
governor by a clear majority of votes, in
contest between the two parties. the first
straight victory for the Democratic party
in New York for many years, would help
him in a canvass for the nomination, and
also would be an assuring promise OF his
election. But New York is no longer es-
sential to Democratic national success, as
was clearly shown in l4lt.
However. there IS not much probability
that Governor Smith will be a candidate
and no assurance that he would be nomi-
mated as there are too many Democrats
of other States who look with doubt and
suspicion upon New York democracy.
Besides. his front name is against him.
How different it would be with plain John
Smith. He would sweep the country.
