FORAGE Thirdly and lastly we come to examine
the political status of the recipients of the State
forage. All the "shade" officers and recipients of
forage at the hands of Gov Vance will vote for
him, and no wonder, for they will be voting for
their bread and butter. "The OK knowet6 his
owner, and the ass his masters crib" These under.
lings are frequently heard to express their admra
ton for Mr.. Holden sorry there is contest between
him and Vance like both and would vote for either
provided the other was out of the way and so on
but Vance is such good "feow"-can't give him
up-al of which simply means they cannot give
up the "forsge" Five, six, eight or ten thousand
year and bomb proof against the war is the bait
and they have not the moral nerve to resist it.
1t is well known that some of the gentlemen who
are holding office by the appointment of Gov.
Vance have declared themselves Holden men, pri.
vately, but at the same time they will vote for

gentleman to occupy, but when we reflect on the
