THE IRICKED HOLSTERS.
The Indiana people were about rs sore as
any of them following tho defeat of Gray.
In q former dispatch I have already de-
tailed the interview between the Gray men
and Mr.. Whitney on Sunday last. / have
that story on the authority of an Indiana
mon, who was present when it occurred.
Mr.. Whitney explained that there would,
