We're touched on. Governor Bradley
never wrote tho veto Of tho Bullion Tax
Compromise bill. II was in Bob ciark's
handwriting. The speaker here referred
to the fact Of the Governors agreeing lrst
to approve 1t and then refusing. II show
ed that neither honesty nor principle gov.
erned his actions. He was not an anti.
subsidy man, for he had vetoed the Eureka
4 Palisade Railroad bill. which had no
subsidy In IL. Nor WAS the old man
above political trickery. He had gone on
with the building OF the prison In wsshoe
