a beef contract 10 a number of political Jug

Lauman, Of Reading, for which the Govern

The public indignation manifested at this
species Of robbery, it Is presumed, Induced Mr.
Cameron 10 rescind the contract with Launan

beef for the Army,a wealthy IliRois cattle dea-
ler has agreed 10 deliver al Harrisburg all the
beef needed at three dollars aad ainety cents

that Lauman & Co, must have been realizing
over one hundred per cent. profit. They.

there The Editors declare that Mr.. Harvey

they wiH give US an explanation Of that word

suspend your wholesale spec liations on psr42a-
