graph which appeared in our paper last
week taken from the n. Y. Tribune
stating the fact of the exclusion of the

plains no allusion whatever is made to
Greeks, Jews, Gentiles, Mahomedans,
or any particular class or denomination

writer ofthe paragraph copied into our

paragraph to which o. G. L. takes ex-

that is the chief point in it Our friend
