THE Hon. DAVID II. JENKINS, of Gas
ton County, n. c., seems to have the in-
side track for the Republican nomination to
be Governor of that State. If he is SC
lected for this honor the act will be a de-
served recognition of the valuable services
he has hitherto rendered the people and
the party in the Old North State, and his
election would be assured under a legiti-
mate count AS State Treasurer for eight
years, handling the public funds and to
some extent shaping the financial policy of
the State, he earned an enviable reputation
for honesty and clear-headed craftsmanship
With him as their leader the Tar-Heel Re-
publicans can truthfully boast that they
select their candidates from among the tried
and trusted, and honest and competent old
time citizens.

SENATOR CoNKLING's most earnest ap-

suit will be that only one bygone will be
revived, and that is the bygone method by
which united Republican party has al
