APOLOGY TO WRIGHT.
Tribune Correspondent Follows Trib-
une'S Example.

Under the caption, Senator Wright
is Dennis" the Tribune on Tuesday
last published a story with a RichfieId
date line attacking Senator Wright
most violently and practically charging
that he had accepted money from A w.
McCune TO build block at Richfield.
The story also stated that Senator
Wright's attitude on the senatorial
question had been displeasing to the
majority of his constituency.
The following day a retraction ap-
peared in the Tribune's columns, tax
ing back almost every word of the
original story.
Yesterday Senator Wright received a
letter from the Tribune's correspond
ent at Richfield, in which the latter at

spirit. The apology is here appended:

Dear Sir-I notice by the retractiCn
in the Tribune and the comments of
your friends upon my correspondence

as rejecting upon you personally.
Upon reviewing my correspondence in
the nShJ OF tneSS comments, II appears
in a phase not contemplated when
written.
There was in my mind only the DO
litical aspect of the matter. combined
with jocular element, and no intention
in the least to reflect upon you person.

The article was written in the ordi-
nary course of correspondence and
hastily as such matters are
written, and without conscious inten-
ton of rejecting upon your honor or
integrity.
You are free to make such use of this
letter as you consider just to yourself
Very respectfully.
