The LONG aud extreme illness of Mr..
Gordon, who has been spoken of as the prob
able chairman of the State democratic COM
mittee. makes his acceptance of that POSI-
ton almost impossible, and that fact sug.
yests the idea that the selection of the man
for the position referred to should be left by
the State convention to the democratic
candidate for Governor, as the latter is more
interested in the choice than any one else,
and as the relations between the candidate

mate and confidential character.
