VorE FOR DAVID H1GGINs-There
are many good reasons why the voters Of this
city should support David Higgins for Mayor
Of this city, in preference to Geo. II French.
He is better and more careful fnancier. He
has had more experience in city affairs and
| understands better how to manage and direct
the city business. He is not an office seeker,
and therefore has no cques or favorites to
figure for. His election will be received by
the creditors Of the city with satisfaction, and
J through lin our financial troubles will meet
with more satisfactory arrangement lie
has large amount Of property in this city and
is therefor deeply interested in its welfare
Every tax payer will further his own inte.s sts
by voting to-day for David Higgins.
ExPLANArION.-In our extra issued
yesterday with reference to the Illinois Banks,
we stated that a dispatch had been received
by Macklot 4 Corbin, to the effect that the list
published VAS thrown out in Chicago. In this
we were mistaken. The information was OBJ
tanned by them from Rock leland. and came by
way Of dispatch from the telegraph operator
at Chicago to parties in Rock leland, that the
banks mould be thrown out on Friday morning
There we're no dispatches received during
the day by either Of the banks here, confirming
the reports, and We conclude they were not
| thrown out.
| Whether they were or not, it is evident that
] they are weak, and we have no doubt they
| will be thrown Cut as soon as the Chicago
bankers get ready to do so. Our ci liens will
rem embsr that over half of the 80 banks dis
credited last monday, had been thrown out
here before, and it will be well to keep clear Of
these notsa We attach q list of values a. til ey
