that it always had a few thousand or
a few hundred Ihousiuid to help out
less fortunate fellow hankers. The
money of the depositors always was
ready for them. Oilier bankers said
that ho was not a shrewd banker.
PcihapH not, according to some stan
dards. Hut ho always had sufficient
money to lend to his customers and
plenty toi pay every honest demand
that could ho made upon him.
Mr. Heekiuan always was a staunch
republican and in 1878 was made the
candidate of his pttity for governor.
Ho was defeated by the narrow mar
gin of II votes, lie had held inan.v
minor offices of honor mid dignity,
always having been a leader in ev
erylhiug for tho bctletment of his
section of tho state. Hut his race
for governor was tho only office of
importance ho over ran for.
