creditors are extraordinarily lenient. While
there may he a large number of those itiner

any considerable part of our population is

unworthy of the governor. If the president
should return a reply scull as would charac

The people have remembered with kindly
feelings (he efforts of the governor to cut
down the expenses and lighten taxation, but
these are beginning to lie overshadowed by
his recent actions and instead of being de
nominated a crank he may dud a much
stronger epithet applied to him in the future.
