love with passionate fondness to
speak of the Republican lotteryites,

seems to presume that because this paper
is anti-Iottery, it must pertorce be also

We believe that Nichols adminstra-
ton has been a complete failure, and
under no circumstances would we ell
dorse him for reelection. In fact, we
would prefer to see any man in the
State, at all competent to fill the place,
elected to the gubernatorial chair,
rather than see Mr.. Nichols his own
successor.

Gov. Nichols was forced to give him a
place on the supreme bench to prevent
him from turning over the State to
Warmoth And it is good hundred
to one bet that Gov. Nichols has not
the magDanimity to nail the atr0cious
SANDER to the counter.
