THEDAY BEFORE THE BATTLE Intonse Activity in Both of the Po- litical Gamps. WHERE IT WILL BE FOUGHT, The Judges and Olerks ot Election— Probability of the Fiercest Con- testin the Oity of Omaha— Ete., Ete, Eto Day Before the Battle, Tt is conceded by every one that to day's election will be one of the hottest and most bitterly contested political fights ever witnessed in Omaha. The greatest amount of interese is centered upon Rush and Me- Shane, candidates for city treasucer, while the gencral puplic is interested in the mayor- alty. Police judge probably is the third most important issue, though there scems to bo ubout & stand-oft between that race and the heat for comptrolier. All day yesterday boodle olock, that portion of Farnam street between Fourteenth ana Fiftoenth was thronged with an excited and noisy crowd of ward workers hotly discussing tho situation and arranging plans for today’s great battle. To an observer and listener the scenes as well as conversa- tions, overheard were awmusing and in- teresting. “Oae nundred dollars” shouted a Fourth ward enthusiast, “‘that Liowver and Rush will be elected.” No response. “If any of you democrats have nerve enough to back your loud talk with dustcome and see mo,” again cricd the speculator, but he could not find a taker. “I tell you, Cushing is a gone gosling,” argued an_ex-councilman who resides near Brownell hall, to half a dozen eager voters. “That fowa record of his has killed him,” Down the street a little farther and in the vicinity of three large bauking institutions scoros of men, who seldom take part in elections, could be seen working like beavers, their struggle being airected to the treasurership, whilo over at the Millard hotel Chairman Mcrcer had ali he could do to take care of the crowd constantly pressing him for information avd instructions, The fight is developing some startling features. About noon reports wers circ lated to the effect that, Broatch and friends had determined to knife Linin and Bechel, but those of them who were seen ontered a strong donial of the charge. Mr. Broatch was sought for though he could not be found in time to get an interview with him. In the bank circles, it 18 the First and Nebraska Nationals favoring MeShane against the Omaha Nationul, Merchant's National and all the others who are supporting Rush. The republicans feel confident of electin their entire ticket. The councilmanic candi- dates arc putting in their best licks. Mr. Bechei's friends claim that he has no reason to fear enough opposition from Broatch to defeat bim, The ivdications are that an immense vote will be polled today. Points to Be Contested. The city election takes place today, and the voting precincts will be oponed at 8 o'clock in the morningaud remain oven until 6p.m. Alistof the officers to be voted for as also, 1 detail, the various bond provosi- tions which are to come before tho people, will be found on auother page of this 1ssue of Tux Bre.

V. Gannon after the trial was over. The assistauce rendered tho state in the Vollmer trial arose from the circum- stance that M. V. Gannon stopped over in Omwaha on nis way east from Montana for a few hours on a day or two following Quin- lan's killing. While here he called on Dan C. Shelley, an old friegd. Gannon was then practicing law, in Davenport, In but was on the' eve of _removin to Omaha. Shelley suggested that be tender his services to assist in the prosecution of Vollmer, as Quinlan was an orphan without funds. He agreed to it and the matter was arranged, Quinlan was unknown to Shelley; tho samo was true of Vollmer, The only motive 1n arranging the matter for Gannon was to securo him an introduction to Omaha in view of his intended locaiion here for the practice of his profession. Johu Rush had nothing whatever to do with it. Juagos, (ieorgo H, Thomas, P, H clerks, Wiltiam Miteh- Notte, T. Vanalst, B. Sievers, Dan gene hart; clerks, M, O. Wal Hugh Q. cler < s cArdle, C. S.

Oxata, Neb,, Dec. 1,—To the Editor of Tre Bee: Will you pleass answer o few questions propounded below that @ demo- cratic wage-worker may voteintellizently on the office of police judge. Did Phillip Andres, while a member of the legislature of 1857, vote to extend the conviot labor coutract for the period of ten years to Boss Stout or his assignees! S Did the same gentleman sign a memorial 10 congress recommending the abolition of the oftice of president of the United States? Did he on the night of December 21, 1880, have a scat on the platform in Motz bautl, at which place and time Luey Parsons, of ha- archist notoriety, uddressed & meeting of those in sympathy with the men who at that date were in Jail in Chicago for desiroy- ing life and’ property by mesns of dyna- ‘mite! Did he at the same meeting arise and unnounce to the assombliug people the arrival of Mrs, Parsons and usk the indulg- ence of those presout until she could muke her appearance in the hall. Did not Mr, Andres at the late county eloction openiy work against John I, Boyd for sheriff, Yours Truly, A DEMOCRAT. Veracity, A lively scene was enacted in front of the New York life building in which the man Bryin, with the iron Jaw und conceited pate, became the laughing stock of a crowd of about fifty people. Ervin was a delegate to the late republican oty convention. He was a Broachite from away back and, when hus idol was defeated, shared the disuppointmentof some of the others of the solid twenty-eight, who thus saw their hopes of ofiicial patronage blasted. He was ssked h{ Attorney Eller if he was ing 1o support the republican ticket, mean- ing of ocourse the nominees whom Broatch was opposed to and whom he aud lus hire- lings propose to boycott. His answer was an evasive one. for the republican party. He was theo upbraided for histreachery in koifing candidates whom he had helped to nomivate and, by way of excuse, said, speak- ing of John itush, that auv man who would say on the floor of the convention that he would rethor go ou & ticket with a yellow do* ihau with Mayor Broach ought to be kuifed. I you say that Jobn Kush said that, you “I am are a liar, t00." Several other gentlemen took part in the talk and thrde of them applied the epithet of “liar" to Ervin, but the latter had mot_the spirit to resent it and slunk away amid the jeers of the crowd. and Johm Rush will tell yon so “My Son John's" Treach ry. That John Clarke is the father of the “eiti- zens” and “Law ana Order” ticket that will be worked at the polls today thore isn’t aques- tionof doubt. The tickets wereia the hands of different partios in the streets yosterday. One man who_ is to wo the tickets at the Second ward polls was seen who ex- hibited au order written and signed by Clarke for the pay for the dirty labor. Another was found who admitted ho was ancus hield oo Friday night when the t WS SPrung, 'Who was therc?!’ he was asked. “Nineteen Liroatch men, The beld in an office in the busin wwn." “Who is at the head of the bolt!" *John Clarke 18 the man you wi if you want any more information, closed up hke a c “Hut he won't " said the reporter, “Well, the Mayor Broatch; he knows something about it." Proviously Clarke was scen and askod about his conucction with the bolting tick oy, ucus wag 88 conter of 1 to see " and he have had nothing to do with it,"" he said. “Ihave heard this morning that Rose WALOr Was going to get outa ticket with Cushing and McShane on in place of I nger and Rush. The adolescent politician looked ashamed of the ridiculous assertion he had made, while his bespoke his own guilt. Counciliien Chaffee and Da the same way about Rsowate heard, they said, that Rosow: going to spring a bolters’ ticket in the interest of ‘ushing and Mes The bolters' meet- ings ave smd to havebeen held at Cha oftice. sMayor Broatch was n a poutish mind when asked about his connections with the aflair “Tne BEE won't tell the truth about me and I decline to be quoted 1n its columns,” He relented, though, and said: ng'to support Lininger and the t with the excoption of one mau.

There is H. L. Seward, who is one of Broateh's strikers, who is'working the bolt t00. And taiking about Seward, Mayor Broatch has uppointed him clerk to the street commissioner. What authority has Broatch for making such an apvointment. The churter or the city ordinances do not provide for such an office. Seward wus appointed Broatch without authority to do some of his dirty work, and the taxpapers must pay for it. The “Citizens” and “Law and Ordger” tickets are made up of the following candi- dates.

An Important Meeting of the State Banking Department. LEESE DEFINES“BRANCH BANKS" No Such Instituiions Known to the Law—Lincola's Street Ratlwoys Branching Ont—An Acci- dental Shooting. 1029 P Stiuer, LixcoLy, Neb., Doc. 9, The state banking department held an im- portant meeting this moraing, commencing at o'clock. It appears that tho Commer- cial State bank of Benedict has made a false statement of its business and, therefore, jeopardized tho intorests of depositors, Proper showing having been made to this effect, a motioi: was made and entertalned for the appointment of a receivor to take charge of the business of t ncern, During the moeting Attorney Genoral Leoso submitted an opinion defining *‘branch buauks'* and the provincs of loan and trust companies, The board nccopted and adopted it 6 the proper coustraction of the law. It is as follow: To the Board of Bank Examiners, Lincoln, Neb. Gontlemen: In answer to your inquiry re- lating to what you term a branch bauk, I will say that there is no such an institution known to our law. Krvery corporation, firm ormdividual that receives money on deposit, buying or selling exchange, is a bank under our law, and must have property of a cash value to the amount specifiad in soction 1 of the banking act, und this property must bo of sucn value over and above all incum- orances and in excess of all linoilities owing by such bank. Ihis, I understand, means that every bank must stand upon own merits, axd not have its property subject to the liabilitics of some other bank. The property of each bank must be isolated from all others and disconnected in its cxistence. If a corporation, firm or individual can start several banks in various partsof the state, and ome of these banks should be $0 mismanaged thut it would be nec- essary to apply for a receiver then in winding up the business of such bank every bank that the company owned would bo effected notwithstanding tho fact that theother bunks have fully complied with the law in every particular.” Then, if this is true, the only reason upon which this result is attended is because the failing bank did not have property of the cash value re- quired by law above all incumbrances and in excess of all habilities. And I am of the opinion that the very object of the law was 10 prevent such transactions. If a corp ation desires to starta second bank they must form & new corporation, and go through the same procedure as was followed in organizing the original bank, by sub- scription to stock and isswng Stock, ete., and if it 18 necessary to take & part of the apitai stock of the original corporation for such Lurpose, then the reduction must be made in accordance with the bylaws of the original corporation, and this will apply as well to all_ commercial banks that have a savings baux attachment. ‘The capital stock must be so placed that those who deposit their little earnings will not lose the same through the mismanazement of some othei bank in adifferent part of the state, because if one firm or corporation n be permiuvted to carry on a double business n the same or adjoining rooms, then they can under the same authority carry ‘on the same although in a aifferent part of the state, and aguin if one corporation can carry on a second bank they can carry on 2 bauk in every city and village in the state, and I am of the opinion that such a transaction is in violation of the law. Ihe exception made in favor of sav- ings banks 1 that of the amount of capital required, under section 1 of the act. In the spocific case you speak of, 1 would require the corporation to incorporate for the second bank and form a separate and distinct cor- poration, because, as mnow constructed, every trausacuon of ome bunk eflects the second banlk in a greater or less degree. I do not see uny objection to tue individual stock- lolders of one bank subscribing for shares of stock in the second baak, but I would in- siston the above rule in every instance where one bank attempts 1o sturt a second bank. This wiil insure safety to all persons who transact business with a bani against dangers that might arise through some other buuk with which they have no aealings, and may be wholly unknown to vhem, 2. 1do not understand that a loan and trust company must make a report. It 1s only such corporations as receive deposits, buy and sell exchange, pay out money on checks, ete,, thut are subjsct to the law. If a loan and trust company does receive de- posits, ete., as above. it loses its charter as such and 18 subject to all of the provisions of the law regarding banks.

A gentleman who has just returned from Des Moines authorizes the statement that the railway recently chartered in Towa as the lowa & Nebraska is but another name for the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacifie, and that the gap between Council Bluffs and Beatrice, which is between eighty and ninety miles, will be closed next scason as rapidly as men and money can push the work.
