The rumor that new paper 10 to be
started here - advocate the renomination
OF Governor Ireland, aud to oppose the
political aspirations of John Hancock and
Hon. A. w. Terrell can not be traced to-
any reliable source. Some have trotted out
Hon. A. W. Terrell for the governorship at
a lively gait but be will hardly keep up
with the procession and when the roll is
called and Hon. John Ireland answers
| '.head" the Hon. A. w. T. will be group
ing in the mi.ts OF the dim distant. The
time for the honorable gentleman to take
his chances ut the head OF the procession
has not yet arrived snd'if he is thinking Of
thrus,ing himself forward this year he will
save himself and his friends world OF
trouble by going Oft and drowning himself
in-in the solitude of his own originality,
At the proper time the people will call on
him il they think his eminent abilities and
statesmsnship are needed. Just now they
nave on hand all that can be comfortably
utilized. Governor Ireland has made
most excellent governor aud his policy has
evidently met with the approval of the peo.
pls. He has discharged his duties we'll and
couscientiously and everyone familiar with
the fairs of state knows be has labored as
siduously to carry out the wishes of the pco-
pie and promote the prosperity and happi-
mesa of the commonwealth. He has exc
cuted the laws as he found them without
fear or favor. He has calmly ignored the
frenZied cries OF wild alarmists and turned
deaf car TO the tlattering sophistry of willy
demsgogues. No man ever filled the posi-
tion with more dignity and discharged the
duties OF the Office with more genuine
ability, and IL IL patent to see that the state
government is running more smoothly and
harmoEiously than it has for years.
