attempt 20 do SO causes rcgrc; with
many of its EDITORS warm and true
friends in this State. When 1t says that
''di honest relief bills have been an.

making II wild, random expression. In

and does now approve Of shat veto rs he

The Senthe, editor is OF the same
party as Governor Bradley. but uufor.
tunately or not, as it may hereafter
prove, the Editor and the Governor
could not see and act alike on = meas

tho settlement of which WAS Of the
mos. vital Importance to tho people.
To-day, neither the editors Of the I'm
terprise or of the Seataei will deny that
the Governors Judgment and action
upon that measure. was sound, honest
and beneficial 10 the welfare Of the
State, and they know that the citizens
Of the state. Irrespective Of party cou.
sidora;ion. have beon loud and frequent
in declaring their verdict in favor Of
the judgment aud action of Governor
Bradley.
Doubtless there arc many Democrats
in tho State who would serve Nevada
as wisely and as honestly Us Governor
Bradley has, but they have not been
tried, ana in the present emergency the
people do not feel safe in experiment.
