s'There is authority for stating that
Major General D. E. Sickles, commanding

The Columbus (0hio) Journal, in allud-
ing to this subject; makes the following au.
thoritative denial for General Crook:
1--WE have two direct denials on the part
of gentlemen whose names are on the call,
who certify that their names appeared
there without their knowledge ahd against
their consent. 1t is with no ordinary feel
ings of qualification that we mention TIT
name of George Crook as one of these
The mingled pain and incredulity viii
which many men who had followed hin
through the war heard of his supposed Oh
liquity but showed the high honor in which
he had been held by his old command
They will now still be able to soy s'Old
George is ahead-it's all right!''
General D. A. Murphy, another victim
comes out over his own signature in til,
following emphatic style:
II had fondly hoped that when l hat
given three Of the best years Of my life. Il
the service Of my country that would new
er have to define my position in the politi
cal world, or 10 rush IrahtlcaIIy into prln
to assure the people that l am still pa
trist from principle. But, alas! am q
length smoked OUT an, then, frankly
go far as 1 understand the political princi
pies and sentiments of each, in favor Of tn,
American Congress as it is in 1866; and o
Andrew johnson as te will be in 1865"
We are not at all surprised at this repu
