 Tn a statement issued by Gov ernor Donaghey published Thurs day morning in a daily newspaper at Fort Smith under the heading 'Donaghey Attacks Robinson s plans, am quoted as making certain statements concerning the amount of money purported to have been used by the liquor interests in behalf of Mir.
