The Gubern atorlal question is beginning Ia
loom mp 10 this city, aud nearly every one
who takes an interest In things political has
preference already. While making my
rounds last week, put the question to sever
al hundred persons Of prominence, and sue.
ceeded In obtaining a very interesting batch
OF opinions on the subject, a number Of
which follow:
Squire Frank Rightmyer: "My candidate
b Genl beatty, think bis record as Re-
publican Is excellent, and he would make the
best run. 1t is said he was defeated at home
once an the salary grab issue, but he would
be an excellent candidate. OF course Il IL
can be proved that Foraker will not suffer
any loss among colored voters, would be
q strongly in favor OF Foraker.
J. Guilford White the lawyer my frat
choice is Foraker, Second, Judge Lawrence
Of Bellefontsne, and third Genl Beatty"
Probate Judge Miller: "My candidate first,
second, last and all the time Is Con- John Beatty.
He is . sound vigorous Republican. Although
1t 10 true hat hskcked over the traces some
years ago. he did II at time when the Re-
publican party was in danger Of degeuera,inp
into wishy-washy party Of bypocrltical
mugwumps. As strong vigorous Repub.
lican Beatty would be by far the best choice"
Harry Rabbits II hardly know who to
give you az my choice. think Foraker,
Beatty and Kennedy are ahead in this county.
In the order famed, but after all 1 am not
sure but that Beatty is ahead"
Mr.. Mcclellan, prominent citizen of South
Charleston: "Bob Kennedy forever. Ken
nedy will make the hottest and most yipor.
ous canvass Of any man named in connection
with the place. South Charleston Is strong
for Kennedy"
Auditor Serviss: "My candidate Is Fora.
ker. am strong Foraker man."
Lawyer O'Neill: "Put my choice down
for Capt. Bushnell. Young Republicans
Especially Champion City young Republi-
cans) to the 'front.' is my motto"
Lawyer Newberry: 81 am for Judge Law.
renee, of Bellefonane, as the best and esfest
candidate 10 every way"
Herr Billy Diehl: "Kennedy Ia the man."
County Treasurer Wilson: "Bob Kennedy
would make the best run. Foraker is an ex-
cellent candidate, but am little afraid of
the temper Of the colored vote. | doubt If
Beatty would make very good rum"
T. B. Flago, letter-carrier: ~ sm for Cen
eral Kennedy. He would make remark able
run" Graham Deuwell, prominent colored
lawyer: "My choice is Foraker, Kennedy or
Keller. am little afraid Of Beatty on &C.
count OF his Stalwart tendencies, as exempli-
fled in his writing letter warmly request
ing Conkling not to withdraw from the Sem
ate. fear this would hurt him in the West
ern Reserve, though I consider him an sx-
cellent Republican and staunch and true
friend 10 the colored race do not think
that the colored detection to Foraker would
amount to very much this year, and have an
idea he will go into the convention with the
strongest following. Keifer is making no ef-
fort tor the nomination, but would poll the
full strength OF the party II nominated"
A. p. L. Cochran: 81 have not thought
over the matter much. Foraker, Beatty and
Kennedy are all excellent men, and either
would be wise choice"
The above will give an idea of how evenly
divided the sentiment is here for Kennedy,
Foraker and Beatty.
On the Democratic side the choice is even
less decided. Hardly any of the Democrats
seem to have given the matter any thought.
few opinions gathered were as follows:
George Arthur: 81 an strongly in iavor of
any good Democrat, twenty-one years
OF age, who is out OF the peni-
tentiary, the reporter at this
point asked Mr.. Arthur why be thus restricted
the choice to such limited number Of men.v
J. l.. Zimmerman ex-candidate for solicitor
on the ex-Democratic ticket "Judge Geddes
10 the man." Dep. oil Inspector Jack Flynn:
~ am Hoadly man and strongly in favor Of
the Termination Of Gov. Hoadly. His ad-
mirable adm nistration would give him great
elements OF strength in the canvass"
4. o. Hagan Of Hagan aud Hagan: al
would be abundantly satisfied with a re-uom-
ination Of Gov. Hoadly, If not, should be
delighted with Judge Geddes for the head Of
the ticket
Squire j. ]. Smith: III am utterly done
with politics, and don't care cent who
they nominate: l. would be simple justice to
nominate Durbiu Ward, however. He was
entitled to the nomination in several con-
ventions, but failed to get 1t every time"
Adam Schmidt "The German Demo-
Gratis have not yet decided on q candidate.
They are down on Hoadly to q great extent
for the part he has taken In the mix school
question however"
Milton Cole, Democratic lawyer: "I have
not given the subject much thou 1ht. Taken
by surprise, however, should say that Dur.
bin Ward is the man."
Geo. Spence, the we'll known Democratic
lawyer was found hard at work in his Office.
In reply to the question OF candidate
he made the following vigorous response,
which he turned and wrote with his own
hand; 81 have not thought about candidate
tor Governor. The unconstitutional sud sell
fish local laws of the present Legislature, and
the bad appointments Of the Governor, will
make 1t difficult to elect any Democrat. Yet
