II We would say to the Racine Commerce.

II We would say to the Racine Commercial
Advertiser, that we have contracted to have the
Statutes designed for sale, bound in calf and in
leather of no other kind If any have been
bound Otherwise, the binder has done it with
out our knowledge and in violation of his
contract. None such have been sold through
our hands, and if any person has bought one
bound in any other leather than calf, he can
have it exchanged either here or at Milwaukee,
if he desires it. We would say further to the
Commercial, tina. Gov. Dewey has nothing wha-
tever to do with the price, and consequently
could not have agreed to allow $3.50, nor any
other sum. We are we'll aware of the cause Of
the Commercials sudden Indignation in this mat
ter, bat we trust its editors in playing the cats
paw, will pay some regard to truth.

seems to MS impossible that the business of Wis
