The Der Demokrm of Davenport, in

follow ing manly retraction relative to the
reflections Cast upon tn banks Of Rock

A. first it was supposed that the ru

that persons connected with Rock Island
banks were to blame for it, but we are
glad to say, that this proves TO be untrue.
1t seems TO have been caused by remarks
made inadvertently during a discussion
relative to the securing investment of
funds of charitable association, remarks
which probably were misunderstood and
gave rise to undue apprehensions as to
