Blu. look at Governor Dickersons appointments for a moment, and
what have we, Bullion Tax Agent Mr. Haley; Bank Examiner Mr. Van
Fleet; Mine Inspector Mr.. Ryan; State Auditor MIR. Lyon; State + n

and hence their strenuous efforts to kill him off in advance of the nomi
nation Strange, is it no. that they should be Sc anxious to prevent his
nomination if they really think him a weak a The simple truth is
that they do OF think anything of the kind. They know his strength,
md thcy know the cIcarncss OF the record upon which he an appeal %
