SAM GREEN.

Sam Green, Sepator elect from ouI
county, desirous Of seeing his name in
print and with-ai laudable desire to
annihilate the Editor. of the TRIBUNE
sends communication to Robert Smaiis
Organ in which he. evidently emulates
the practice of certain clowns who, by
chewing soap, are enabled to.freth at the
mouth, thus giving their audience the
impression that their mad has reached a
fearful pitch. We'are assured that some
of the members~otsthe legislature can
write and so we, will give Sam the
benefit of the doubt and take it for gran
ted that the sGuib was written by him
self; .bu. We regret the inability of the
editor of the Organ to make sense of it
while passing throughhis hands, althoug h
he doctored it to suit his own purposes
Sam goes on to deny that he ever called
the Governor ~. Grand Rascal" Had
Sam got znfntelligent person to- read the
article aud explain it to him he, would
have seen that we never attributed to
him the lsnguage referred to, but that in
answer to. the question of, Jce. Robinson
"Wby he called the Governor an angel at
the last election and now accused him of
being sgrand rascal" Sam took the occa-
sion to yent TRADE of abuse on his excel.

taker, ,-and for other appointments where
selections had been made by "the delega-
tiona but where the Governor though. It
10 the interest of the State to appoint
better anen. Sans chief complaint seem
etl.to be that Mr.. seovel had appointed
capable man to assist him, and not lot of
hangers on of the party who are too lazy
to work but not too proud to steal, who,
Sam thinks, should have been appointed
for the eminent services rendered tie par

ty assigned them OF breaking up meetings
where some of their constituents have an
opportunity of hearing some truths. He

But we will agree with Sam that in
one respect the Governor deserves the
greatest execration; in the matter of fast
Horses, sole leather trunks and heaps of
store clothes. 1t has been the custom of
our legislators, many Of whom have no
visible means of support, to borrow mon.

constituents with the above mentioned
