Private Ed Yeoman Hand this back to MePrivate B. Magoffin Dear Sir.

It affords me pleasure to enclose you an editorial written by my friend -- an old Christian County Democrat -- Geo. C. Bronaugh, upholding the action of the Democratic Governor in opposition to that of a Democratic (?) Legislature.

It reflects the sentiments not only of nineteen twentieths of the Democracy, but also of a large portion of the Deopposition.

I call your attention to it because I think it is about as able an article as I have seen & further because it is written by an old acquaintance and friend with whom a few of us in this

county co-operated when there was something more in Democracy that the mere name, and when to be a Democrat inexcluded a man from all hope of position; and not only so, but to some extent deprived him of even social intercourse with the Aristocracy of "Rags" -- Terrible wasnt it?

I am gratified to find your veto so universally endorsed

Very truly Yr friend Henry J. Stiles
