ABOUT STATE FUNDS.
That is likethe Democratic public
speakers las night when they were
talking about State funds, in bank,
and denouncing the Republicans for
allowing the State treasurer to
have State funds in State banks
on deposit, at SO much per cent.
and draw the same and use it for
his own purpose and for political
purposes during campaign time.
WILD CAT BANKS.
All that they object to are just
that many chicken heads project
ing out of the Democratic plumber
ing hat of wild cat banks. The
Democratic banking hat had large
holes in it. They have forgotten
the holes and believe other people
have forgotten the wild cat bank
plumber that projected from the
hat. A look at the holes in their
plunder hat condemns them in all
they say on the subject of banking.
The Democracy was the father
of the wild cat banking system I'M
der which was practiced in null
tiplied form the things they now
complain of. 1t was a Republican
Legislature that passed a law that
put an end to State treasurers
drawing interest on State funds
deposited in State banks. The
last OF the wild cat banss went un-
der with James Buchanan's adj
ministration, and the people lost
