A. very provoking error occurred in the
Journal yesterday, by the compositor emitting
the word ''if' and dividing the sentence in the
paragraph stating as written, that the 'the
Marion county delegation will cast it's full vote
for Major o. M. Wilson for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
but IF there is no chance for his nomination,
Lieutenant governor Hanna will probably get
majority Of the votes afterward."
