 We heard man remark q few days ago says an exchange. that he did not believe "all thc newspapers said about Davis" Of course he was Davis man and believed all Davis says about himself. Now we submit to such persons the proposition that they investigate what is said by both Davis and the papers and see which is true look calmly at the matter and see which is most interested in making interpretations Davis is can adste for governor and also for senator. To secure these offices he must make the public believe he is all right. The publisher of the newspaper is not generally a seeker after office. His business depends more on the prosperity of the people than bis own popu- iarity. and the only difference il can make 10 him who holds office, is that he Is interested in the public welfare.
