CORRECTION We copied from the
Des Moiaes Republican an article In
reference to the Grange convention
I'm Knoxville on the ID inst, In which
Samuel Breckenridge, candidate for
Representative, and 9. IL. Robinson,
candidate for Auditor, were mention
ed as Liberals. The gentlemen nam
ed have hitherto been Republicans.
This correction we intended to have
made, and should have made last
week. It's omission is attributable to
neglect. We hope 1t will not cost
either OF our friends . single vote 1t
