think, Judging from the natural humor OF
tho Governor, that his public ut,cranccs
were not intended to be offensive. But
'ofnetfmes they arc exceedingly 50, and
when tho object OF his yociferous attacks
happens 10 be q sensitive one, only sharp
and canstic rejoinders can be expected in

Gov. Stevenson is not Il man 10 tainc,y sub.

by saying that Auditor Borgess. was not

took up the charges wrialin', and showed
by official records that instead OF there be.

a million in the treasury, which facts were
