CHICAGO INTER-OoEAN.
If you will notice the date of the
following. you will see this attempt
to corrupt the Inter- Ocean was made
before the majority of its stock had
fallen into the hands of the Pluto
Gratis.
The following is taken from the
Chicago lnter-Ocean:
THE Inter-Ocean acknowledges
the receipt of the following singular
document which came to this office
from New York Saturday morning:
THE AMERICAN BANKERS ASSN
247 Broadway, Room 4.
New York, October 8 1877 \
STRICTLY PRIVATE.
Dear Sir:-Please insert the en-
closed printed slip as loaded matter
on the editorial page of your first Is
sue Immediately following the re-
celpt of this, and send marked copy
and bill to yours truly,
JAMES BUELL., Secretary,
247 Broadway, Room t.
Comments on slip not to exceed
half a column will be paid for, If
billed at the same time. J.B.
The Inter Ocean says:
1.-The following is the document
which we are asked to insert as lead
ed matter on the editorial page, in
other words, as a statement made by
the lnter-Ocean.
The GreenDack party has offered
through its managers to sell out to
the Democrats, and hereafter to work
in Democratic harness if a place for
few of their leaders can be provid-
ed. This merely shows how much
dependence there is to be placed on
the leaders of lunatics who clamor
for money based on nothing"
The Inter-Ocean remarks:
''We insert this, but we shall send
no bill for it. We shall send no bill,
because in the first place We do not
follow directions about leading it:
secondly, because we are compelled
to say that We do not believe a word
of the statement to be true, The at
tempt to thus maliciously destroy the
Greenback party without submitting
a word of proof is piece of shame
less and brazen effrontery which
ought to be beneath any body of com
merclal gentlemen, and especially
the American Bankers Association

was sent to the Chicago nter-Ocean,
