Comment on the Canvass.

The eubernatorial canvass is still warm.
Colonel Holiday is gradually taking the
front rank among the candidates. Had it
NOT been for the mistake made by the VAL
lev counties in deferring their conventions
to select delegates to so late day there Is
but little doubt he would have received the
nomination for Governor on the first ballot
in the.August Convention. From the pres
emit outlook ne! hardly think his nomina-
ton can be deferred many ballots Vim

Certainly, we would all welcome any COM
promise or Teadiustment that our creditors
might agree to, provided the State would
thereby be benefited. But what docs the
Governor, whoever he may be, have to do
+ with 'readiusting the public debt? This re-
adjustment, IL at all, must come through
the Legislature, and with, tie APPRECIATION
of the States creditors. FahJas MeSsen-
