We regret to chronicle the departure of

liable position. He is respected by us
very highly as gentlemen and citizen

A short time ago we noticed the Union
contained an article which puts forth the
grievances of an article supposed to have
been written by the correspondent of the
ARGUS. We feel very sorry for lingo.
He is so badly mistaken. To prove
this one of your prominent republi.
cans telephoned the ARGUS Office that he
had the full proceedings of your meeting
and would send them in to be published
in the ARGUS, and if the article that he
sent was the full proceedings of the meet.
ing we fully realize his position that he
made sad mistake. While we are in a
position to know that the article publish
ed is about the true situation of the pro
ceedings of that lingo meeting, we will
refrain from sending items that are not
based on truth, therefore Mr.. lingo Fox,
we feel thankful to you for your sincerity
for something that was written from one
of your own members. Xxx.
