Walsh and .hie associates, have concluded to wind p their affairs and quit business In this city. After a thorough snd careful examination of their, affairs by the Chicago olearlng-house banks. It la stat- ed that aU of the depositors of these Institutions will be paid In full upon demand, the Chicago clearing-house bsnks having pledged themselves to this result, thus putting all the resources of the Chicago banks behind the depositors of these three Institutions. Ths diffi culty with the Institutions has been that Investments have been made ln aasets connected with ths railway and coal enterprises of John R. Walsh which were not Immediately available to meet deposits and. have 'been taken over on terms which will ensbls the three In stitutions to pay their depositors , ln full." . . The statement was signed by J. B. Forgan, president Of the First National; G. Mitchell, president of the Illinois Trust; Orson D.

Walsh hue for msny years been one of the leading flguree in Chicago's mu nicipal and political life. He waa born In Ireland in 1117, and came with his parents to tbe United States 10 years later, settling In Chicago. He became an employe of J. McNally. newsdealer. In 1151 and ln 1111 founded a newa business of his own" which very soon sfter consolidated with the American News company., which he controlled. v.Walsh became Interested ln numerous enterprises. In 1111 he founded tbe Chicago National bank, of whlcb he has since been president He was a director In ths World's Columbian exposition and s one or the leaders of the Cook county Democracy. ' He founded the Chicago Herald and later the Democrat. In recent yedrs he has been owner ot ths Chicago Chronicle. He has 'been blimed by reformers as being one of. the most corrupting Influences In Illi nois politics and is accused of having done more to corrupt reform than any Other one man. ' He Is a GolcV Democrat, i but like all bosses Is bi-partisan and his political activity is not connnea- te any one party. ... The rate of the Chicago Chronicle Is uncertain. As a newspaper It ha never been a paying venture, but run as an organ to serve certain purposes rather than as a newspaper. ' Bosworth In Charge. National Bank Examiner Charles H.
