acconntswi.h Mcbride. and adds:
III seems So 1t has been running 60
years. and is still running. It was this
system OF running accounts which Gull
minated in a large shortage In the public
funds and sending one State Treasurer
to the pen1tentiary. You have been among
the loudest proclaimers against Juggling
of State funds. but you appear to be the
first Of record who borrowed these funds,
and are therefore. the logical ancestor of
that fniquitous practice"
The Governors letter Is filled with a
personal castisation Of Rosewater, the
following being samples:
For years you have been an ulcer on
the body polite and without sympathy
or feeling you have attempted to ride
over the body. the character and the
home OF every man who dared to question
Your Sovereignty
With satanic persistency you have pur-
sued innocent men TO their graves.
Rome in its worst days OF regal lust
and power produced no tyrant less re-
spcctfcl or less considerable.
Intrigue and SANDER have been your
preferred instruments.
The history of your campaign for Sen.
aior is 4 history OF political debauchery
and lawessness.'

row
