"Bill Dave" Goshorn comes to the front
with a prediction that will make the hearts
Of Union Laborites leap for joy lie says,
and SAYS earnestly, that the next SEN
ator will be- r man from the ranks OF

upon the Hypothesis that the disahection
in the ranks Of the Democrats and their
decidedly narrow majority margin, backed
bv the persistent work OF Kennas innuen-
>tisl opponents, will occasion deadlock.
No election Will have been secured when the
time for adjournment shall have arrived, and
in consequence OF the large amount OF work
necessary 10 the investigation Of the ques-
ton as to who Is the Governor OF West
Virginia, that question will also at that time
be undecided. The Legislature then adj
iourns and IN steps Carr as Governor, who,
Goshorn maintains, notwithstanding all
other assurances, Is naugbt IN politics
but Union-Labor man. As Governor and
the representative OF the UniOn-Labor party

only ALDERMAN. In answer TO question
whether that appointment would be given
him Mr. Goshorn gazed into the dis
lance, and, strOklng his moustache, said:
president Carr voted for Gates to-
day." Whether there is anything To this
prediction or not, the fact remains that there
