Rensselaer Union, Volume 5, Number 22, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 February 1873 — Mr. Colfax. [ARTICLE]

Mr. Colfax.

Mr. Colfax again solemnly declares that he never saw Oakes Ames* check for $1,200 until the 24th of last month, and that he “never received a dollar from him on any account whatever.” We believe Mr. Colfax, and we think the public will believe him too. We are not prepared to regard Mr. Colfaf as a dishonored man on the word of Oakes Ames. Let Mr. Colfax be patient.. If he is right, as we are persuaded he is, the public will dq him justice,— 2f. X,
