proval, and I believe, with the cor
dial appreciation of the majority of

should take no backward step, but
should press forward to the accom-

plain, from the tenor of the Cover
Tor's remarks, that he had Scherr's

equally plain, too, that the governor
does not regard Hearne's claims
worthy of serious consideration.
Hearne is an ex-democrat, and he
too. 1t is charged, opposed the re-
forms enacted under the Dawson &C.

ties beyond question where the party
