The Times Democrat finds fault with
Governor Nichols, on psychological
grounds. In the political campaign
which resulted in Gov. Nichols nomi-
nation for Governor, over the Nc
Emery faction, it seems that Mr.. John
A. Morris, the head and front OF the
Lottery, rendered assistance bya money
contribution. He, Morris, has pre-
claimed himself to be good States
rights Democrat; and it might be
taken for granted that this contribu-
tion was prompted by his good Demo-
cratic principles, pure and simple, if
the Lottery organs had not informed
us that it was intended as bri e
through the medium of the feelilIDf
gratitude. 1t may be that a similar
contribution was made to the Nc
Emery faction in the same confpalgn,
SO that no matter which faction was
victorious it would be bound to the
Lottery by the golden chain OF graft
tude. This would be casting bread
upon the waters, on both sides OF the
waters, that it would be certain to re-
turn after many days. 1t would be
the feat Of getting on both sides OF the
political fence at one time. If money
was given to the McEnery faction, it
has not been made known because de-
feat made it impossible for that
faction to show its gratitude or in.
gratitude.
We have not heard that Gov. Mich
oils solicited this money from Mr.
Morris, nor have we heard that Gov
Nichols ever led anyone to believe
that he would ever support the Lot
terry in an application for another
charter. Some of the chief manager
OF the campaign that resulted In the
nomination of Gov. Nichols, ma,
have applied for the money and pro
missed support in return; and some Q
there same managers are now Lotter.
men. We feel confident in saying
that Gov. Nichols never directly no
indirectly obligated himself to suppor
the Lottery. If Mr.. Morris let SOM
OF the supporters of Gov. Nicholl
have money, and they failed to MAX
Gov. Nichols support the Lottery
that shows simply that they under

not do it. Gov. Nichols has beel
charged with ingratitude before, Il
regard to the Lottery. 1t is note
rious fact that after the election L
1876, the Packard legislature wa

order to make quorum in the Nict
