with poor grace from a man who

The Governor has furnished
the names of his informants on
which he based his action in re
moving the two Wilfcons as rail
road commissioners. It is said
that the authors all relate to the
guilt of 8 Otho Wilson, only, save
one Conductor .Barrier, who has
denied in .published card over
hid own signature the matter in
the Governor's message that re
lates to him. The (probabilities
are that the Governor's apparently
strong case will vanish except as
to S Otho Wilson, an'd. everybody
knew or ousht to have known
that it was a crime to haye ever
made him a railroad commis-
sioner.
