Governor Utter is with the boss There need
no longer be doubt on that score. He is with Bray

didn't stand together wouldn't honest men get their
dues more frequently than they do?
Why shouldn't Governor Utter stand by Bray

make him governor? Isn't the r a widespread
conviction in this state that Braytonsms creatures

Governor Utter seems to have been prompted
20 take his stand with Braytonism by the near
approach OF the state convention and ii is reason
able to assume he will abandon his preachments
concerning political purity and civic decency
Certainly further indulgence in them will expose
him to charge OF hypocrcy he cannot successfully
challenge
By his declaration last evening Governor Utter
became the advocate OF Braytonsm. He indorses
Braytonism's niquitous practices, its scandalous
suppression of representative government, its
shameless barter and sale of legislation, it's de
bauchery OF the electorate and its pollution OF the
whole stream OF the political life OF the common
wealth.

to be while prating about the duties of citizenship
