Governor

I1vlI liz ncohf AltS
Governor Francis, by his strict
attention to duty and his fearless
discharge of the same, has dis
armed his enemies and in many
instances has made of them devot-
ed friends. Of course, it was not
expected that those who fought
with insincere motives, and who
intentionally and deliberately
maligned him, would give him fair
treatment Or proper credit for any
thing worthy or honorable they
might find in him. For instance,
his enemies in Cooper county
repeatedly asserted that ne would
do everything in his power to ad-
vance the interests of the grain
gamblers in St. Louis, which meant
that the farmers would be further
robbed and swindled, and the
price of their wheat caused to
row less each year. These partiesg
are not charitable enough to in
form those they deceived in this
matter, that the legislature has
enacted a law in behalf Of the
farmer and against gambling in
grain, and the bill has met with
the approval OF the governor and
has been signed by him. Had he
been ''owned" by the gamblers
and option dealers it is not likely
this bill would now be a law. The
governor is making a splendid
record and his friends in this sec
ton of the State are proud of him
His enemies are dumbfounded and
have but little to say, with the
exception of those who honestly
opposed him, who are now his
warm admirers, and they propose
to stand nobly by him.
