Show NATURAL BUT NOT magnanimous THAT was a pretty rough PP interview between the retiring and incoming governors of nebraska on monday not rough in the sense of being hard uneven or any other of the dictionary definitions but simply so because devoid of the customary amenities and characterized by acerbity on one side at the beginning with mutual asperie lee ies and ran klings at the close it seems that on being apprised of governor thayere Tb Th ayers willin willingness willing gnem neES to our surrender the place to him governor boyd at once set out for lincoln and without ado or delay presented himself at the executive office for the purpose of taking charge being met at the threshold by the outgoing official thayer inquired politely enough after the others other physical condition at the same time extending his bis hand but boyd gave no answer and refused the proffered olive branch do I 1 understand der stand that you refuse to shake hands with me said thayer you may so understand it replied boyd very well it to is a matter of the utmost indifference to me said thayer as he retired it is scarcely worthy of question by even the most ardent republican that governor boyd had grounds for feel ing somewhat sore over the treatment he be had received at the hands ot of his opponent the latter by thebie the bye laye hav ing but little support at the hands bands of his own party and only abdicating thus early by reason of the direct pros pres sure brought to bear upon him by his attorneys of course the present executive has been put to great annoyance mince and expense to say nothing of humiliation and all with but slight if any foundation for which the ex official was personally to blame and yet it hardly seems in accordance with advanced methods and the most approved sentiment to utterly refuse a tender of friendship or a mark of courtesy even though such tender was only making a virtue of necessity and was in fact a hollow hearted pretense however How rover governor boyd understands the situation better than we do and ile he certainly CIrta knows known his own mind as past events have abundantly shown |
