last nights Argus in which he assures the
Greenbackers OF Southern Illinois that the
statement OF his turning over to the Dem

The BULLETIN of Sunday, is
untrue and made without his
knowledge or consent. Mr.. Foley
very positively asserts that he received his
from Mr.. John Clancy, and
that he has several witnesses who will bear

statement originated with Mr.. Clancy. 1t

before the world and we hope he will do
