A SENSATIONAL CONTEST.
Sauabble Over the GubernatoriaI Office in West
Virginia that is Likely to End Seri-
Ously-The Militia.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. IA special
from Wheeling to the Republican gives
the following bit of sensational Informal
ton:
The Democratic members of the legis-
lature boldly state they viii not consent
to have Speaker Woods of the house de-
clare Golf elected governor, as he is said
to be ON the face Of returns, though the
constitution says it must be done in view
of constitutional provision that all officers
of the state shall hold over until their
successors are elected or qualified.
Governor Wilson has declared
his intention to retain his
Office until the contest between
Judge Fleming and Golf is settled, which
cannot occur until late in March. whereas
the gubernatol iaI term begins march 4.
Gen Golf as firmly says that the failure
of the speaker of the house to declare
him elected viii not invalidate the elec-
ton, and he viii on March go before a
person duly authorized to administer the
official oath and qualify as governor, and
viii then proceed TO the state house and
take charge of the governor 5 office. Both
parties admit that IN case Of failure 10
qualify of the governor-eleet the outgoing
governor would rightfully hold over, but
they differ as to the legality Of qualih-
cation in the absence of formal deelara-
ton Of the results.
In an editorial inspired by high
authority which the IntelIgeneer
prints this morning it lays down what is
known to be the view of Gen. Golf after
mature consultation with leading law
yers il says: If he is denied entry into
the statehouse and is forcibIy resisted he
viii cali first upon civilian aid Of the
state, and next as cOmmander-in-ehief
of the militia he win call on the mill
tary. II Governor Wilson resists TO this
point and also calls out military TO aid
him the government OF the United States

sonable doubt viii promptly respond.

The cause of her thus putting an end to

produced by severe physical pain. She

years and has seemed very feeble for the
past few days. Several days ago she
said she was getting old and OF no use to

inquired into the evidence and found that
it would not sustain the charge Of
forgery, and the fact that Holland and
Mrs. Holllngsworth had registered at the
hotel as man and wife and remained
there together on Sunday night does not
make a criminal case under the law. The
case as far as criminal proceedings are
concerned is at an end. Holland left this
evening for the neighborhood in which
Mrs. Hollingsworth lives and says that he
is determined to take her away if she
wishes to go with him.
