CURRENT COMMENT.
TOO MUCH PUT ON GOVERNORS
(Hartford Times

The Governor of stats should not i'm
pair his health by attempting to show
himself at thousand miscellaneous gath
erings every year, which have no real
claim upon tine state or its chief execu-
tive. The Governors of Massachusetts
have made themselves "too plenty" as
social ornaments. and perhaps hereafter
will give their time and strength more
sparingly to such objects, without di-
minish ing at all their real claims to the
respect of the people.
