The Boss Liar

1t has been but a few days since, says the
Little Rock Gdsette, that Mcclure charged
that GOV, Baxter agreed to approve the rail
road steal bin for $4,000 in bonds, and he
asked that Senator McChesney and Mr.. Hus-
sey be called rs witnesses. We have already
published the fiat denial of Senator McCheS-
ney, and by the following from Mr.. Husscy
it will be seen that he is as emphatic in his
denial as the Senator. Certainly John Ne
Clure, Chief Justice. and editor of the Repub-
lican, is entitled to the designationof boss liar
Of the State. Here is Mr.. llussey's letter:
