Madison Journal: Glover has ''fal-
len into the pit he himself did dig"
1t was reported at the time when
Glover's Investigating Committee
caught General Banning for drawing
double pay for the same month in the
field, that others were in the same stu
alton. Now, it appears that Glover
himself was one of them. The records
of the Pay Department show that
Glover. as Colonel Of cavalry, drew
pay twice for the month of May, 1868.
This, however, has thus far escaped the
eagle eye of Prof. Wi,c,x, Glover
noted expert, who has just been paid

Madison Democrat: The pomiua-
ton Of Maj. H. A. Tenney for con.
gress by few green-backers of this
district, can hardly be regarded in a
serious light. Only a small portion OF
the district was represented, and the
convention was an exceedingly tame
affair.
