Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1867-08-02

We like the late s'Ohio State AGENT at
Washington, D. G. He is a nice man. He
loves soldiers, and is using every means in
his power to relieve them of their anxiety
and-their stamps. Some time since he
sent us communication giving us the
grateful information that as the State
Agency was about closed he would attend
to the collection of claim we have against
the Government, and do lots of other
things, sail for the small sum of five cents"
on the dollar. We did not take any in
our'n. We thought if the State paid the
gentleman for attending to the matter, one
fee was sufficient. Now Jimmy sends us
another circular. He would have us be-
lieve that because he is no longer in Office
Ohio soldiers claims will have not ghost
of chance unless he be employed. Well.
we don't scare much. We can stand it.
Anyhow, we do not think we will give Mr..
Wetmore lob. and we advise all Ohio SOL
diers to pay no attention to his circular. 1t
may be all right and it may not. Here is
the circular:

n. B.-Mr. Wetmore having resigned his
