/ lottery charters whatever. Whether
such charters be new opes or success
sive extensions of an existing one
i Governor Nichols says lie wants ne
more lotteries. He did not say he
did not want any other lotteries. AL
lottery charters are to be opposed
"unalterably.'' He makes no dis
elimination in favor of the Louisiana
Lottery and nowhere announces that
/ favors it. He merely says that nc
good could come Of an attempt to
abridge its present privileges. Cover.
nor Nichols position is perfectly con
6 sistent. He was an Anti-Lottery man
1878; and the act which repealed in
1879 the charter Of the lottery was
i passed during his administration and
bears his honored name I presume
also that his personal and official in.
f1uence was exerted in the Constitu-
tional Convention to prevent the In
corporation of any lottery charter il
the constitution of 1879. Mr.. Morris
was therefore charged with full notice
that Governor Nichols was no friend
to his lottery scheme. That he knew
this fact well Morris shows very plain
/ " by the very effort he made to pro-
tect his chartered privileges from any
aggressive action on the part OF this
administration. What right had he
to suppose that Governor Nichols and
Judge White had changed their anti
lottery opinions. a condition OF
] things once shown toexist is presumed
to continue and this presumption OF
hostility on the part of these gentle
men was further fortified by the signi-
ficant words II am opposed to grant
ing any more lottery-charters to any
individual or corporation" used by
Governor Nichols III his conversation
with McCaleb. The document con-
tanning these words was shown to
Morris. It was sufficient of itself to
put him on his 9guard. Governor
Nichols could have no design to
entrap Morris heeaute when he utter
ed them to McCaleh he knew nothing
whatever of what had passed between
MeCaleb, Forman md Morris. Me-
Caleb states: "I did not state to the
| Governor anything " to my converse
