ed by bank swindlers, and determined
10 trust better men"
We find the above paragraph 10 the
FndIay Courier, Locoloco paper print
ed in Hancock county. The Courier
editor probably got his cue from the
Statesman, as we learn that paper made
a similar statement sometime SINCE
We give the paragraph merely 10 sho
our citizens how hard the Iocos are run
for 'GlgnS.' Mr.. Flago was appointed
MOyor, las. fall, BY Wig Council, and
elected this spring by Wing votes. Par.
ty politics had nothing to do with the
matter. Had party lines been drawn,
his chance OF election may be inferred
from the fact, that OF q population Of
1900 10 this borough, there are not pro-
baby FIFTY LOCofocOS, including men,
women and children! These facts show
that the Wings OF Urbana are a liberal
set OF fellows. In this, and other in
stances that might be named, they have
done what their opponents would not do.
under similar circumstances and we
think it very unfair that The Courier
and Statesman should deprive them OF
tho credit they deserve, by awarding it
TO their democratic GrIendS.- Urbana
