 No Desire IumiIiate Him
 The governor had no desire to humiliate Hillhouse and made no statement to con tradict this interview, but is of the opinicn that any man of ordinary understanding can now comprehend how much of 1t was true. Notwithstanding the facts connected with the resignation, which is always con sidered a kindness when permitted to one who has rendered himself liable to removal, the governor was soon left in no doubt that the 1illhouses had begun bitter personal and political warfare of the tongue upon him, species of hostility that still con- tinues. Under these circumstances the governor declined to concsde the imperious necessity of putting another son of the family into office and did all in his power to prevent it. The governor has not been informed from any source that any official in the state who has been faithful to his duty, has made any complaint of the official conduct of the office of governor since he has occupied it. There has been some com plaint by others and the governor eonf- dently expects to hear more.
 The above statement is made on the gov ernor's responsibility. KERSH.

gave away everything he had at his
