issuing a document of a rather silly character. The New York WORLD and

36 hours.

soon as it became possible to understand how far the WORLD and JOURNAL
OF COMMERCE were not implicated in the publication of the forged
proclamation." (6)

the NEWS, the Chicago TIMES, the Cincinnati ENQUIRER, and the PLAIN

"It was entirely unnecessary for 300,000 Englishmen and Irishmen, , , --
women and children, to send this petition to Governor Seymour. We have
plenty of such talk at home." - - - - . . . . . (13)
