nature. OF course the General could
say no less, and while he and 9th ers
may be entirely innocent of anything
wrong or dishonorable, it will he no
easy task to convince the public mind
that such is the case. In another column
we print, by request, an article from the
st. Cloud Times, q paper printed at the
home of would-be Governor Gilman,
which is strong i'll defense of the gentle
men who are being sharply prodded in
this railroad matter. AS soon as practic-
able, which we are promised will not be
many weeks, Gen. Baker says full
..>I os.,piote .tato",o"t will ha made tn
the public of the transaction from be-
ginning to end. This is precisely what
| they want.
