We stated yesterday that in view
Of Mr.. cameron's interest IN the case
We had good reason to doubt his avail

we have eeen with our own eyes a
printed letter that came from Cameron
headquarters attacking the personal
character Of X. II. Wilson. The letter
Is unfit for publication, otherwise We
would give It 10 our readers, but ii has
been seen by numerous citizens Of

Did Mr. Cameron know that this let

Now what do you think of the lofty
