seems TO us that if the security Of

and sufficient the Francis Grove
might have dug down into their

State Treasurer Williams may
not have known that he was vio-

his oath to support it when be
cashed the ''pay certificates" of
Legislators before the passage of

all the same. Moreover, by so
doing he permitted the appropria-
ton bills to be held back until the
close of zach session, to be used
for trading purposes by every cor
rupt influence that had the sagacity
to take advantage Of the opportn-
nifty. OF course, the extruordi-

strates just how much it costs the
