IT is probable that the Reform
papers will seek to justify Governor
Taylor's treachery to Sat. Clark by
saying that he was not appointed to
either of the positions promised him
because he is an old bourbon Demo-
crat. This position will be taken
because there is no other and with
the hope of making capital among
The few liberals. II that position is
correct why did Taylor appoint +.
q. Ryan Chief Justice! Why did
he appoint Bean superintendent of
public property! Why did he APP
point Paul one of the railroad COM
missioners I! Why did he appoint
Dewey one of the directors of the
State prison All these men are
"Bourbon Democrats" and "putrid

ton to the war for the Union they
are just as much Democrats as Sat.
Clark is, and fully as Democratic as
