THE dupRRNAToRGAL CONTEST,
The conference committee in relation
to the canvass Of the vote for Governor
was unable to agree and so reported,
The Republican members submitted q
proposition that the vote on Governor
should be opened, read and published,
II was rejected by the Democrats, who
presented noproposition OF any kind and
the committee adjourned,
So far as the Republicans are concern,
ed, they have some pretty clearly de-
fined ideas as to- the course to be pur-
sued by them and what end they pro-
pose TO reach and they have 80 far sue
ceeded well In keeping their counsels,
II any person Is looking about to see
what course Is best TO be pursued by the
Republicans, or what course they will
pursue, he should not place confidence
In Democratic papers, All this talk about
the appointment OF Senator OF this or
that character is premature, General
GoH is still here; Is being voted for
Senator; Is still the elected Governor,
and there Ia no reason apparent why he
shall not qualify and assume the office
on March 4. II the labor men desire to
see one OF their men Governor, II is clear
they must help elect General Goif to the
Senate. II the Legislature fails to dis
pose OF the contest for Governor, as It ia
now very likely TO do, before March 4, 1t
Is clear that General Gotf will qualify
and assume the functions Of Governor.
AKENNA scHRNR.
The Wheeling Register contains spe-
cial from this city charging attempts to
brlbe Democratic members OF the Legis.
lature by persons in the interesto OF Gen.
eral Gof. In tho first place, the whole
thing Is fabrication. In the second
place, 1t is remarkable that this alleged
stuff should have been kept on hand for
three or four weeks and only show up
Just when Mr.. Kenna has no other
means to drive the klckers into his sup
port. Every effort has been tried by
the Senator and his friends, both here
and elsewhere, to force the Democrats
into line.
The bribery story causes much amuse-
ment among the Republicans and indig.
nation on the part OF the Democrats re-
flected on. Saturdays Register says at
tempts were made to hire men to remain
away from tho opening session. II is
strange such members did not become
indignant until they had been here three
weeks. The Democratic members who
oppose Kenna say tho report was started
TO reflect on them and impugn their mo-
tives, but they will not be driven from
their position by such means and are
more determined in their opposition
than ever.
VINO ARE TnEY2
II the Democrats will let 1t be known
who the members are who were ap-
preached the Republicans will at once
ask for a committee Of investigation and
will heartily cooperate in any steps
taken for that purpose. The Democrats
to-day are quietly circulating word that
5000 have been received ITO be used
for Kenna's benefit" How he is to be
benefited does not appear, unless he
persuades more Democrats to vote for
him in caucus. One Of the leaders said
to-day that Kenna might get caucus
nomination, but 1t took forty-six to elect
and he would never be one Of them.
Kenna's friends now admit that he can
not bc elected even II nominated in
