expressed concerning the content 81 the

authoritative utteranoe Of the Epening
Post To the Pasi the Cobb bill Il the
measure which proposes only a partial
application Of the direct nominations

that the Governors Batavia address

10 accept this partial application.
Fortunately Il 10 alsO possible 10 dis
cover precisely what the Post thinks Of

editorial page Of the Posi Of May II We
take the following. which has reference
