and messages while Governor, were wishy

Governor OF Ohio. IL was perfect bore to read
them. His project of State Bank, which was the
sum and substance OF his inaugural address, proved
a miserable abortion, and was discarded by his own
party. The scholar rdiculed II for the bunsllng
manner in which ii was presented, the statesman
condemned it for It's impractc by, and the imam

rake each other fore and att and pepper each other
