WHO WILL BE GOVERNOR.

Lieutenant Governor Jones is running
hopeless race for the Governorship.
The situation in New York is peculiar.
Governor Hill is holding the Office Of sena
tor as we'll as Governor. He took the
Office of senator to avoid Il fight in the
party, he is keeping the goycrnorship be-
cause lie cannot trust Jones to put UP his
delegations, and it is even possible that
he may in the fall again accept nomina-
ton for Governor, resigning the senator
ship. This is hardly likely, and all pres
ent signs point to Roswell P. Flower as
the nominee Mr.. Flower is sensible
and discreet man, as we'll as a rich one,
and worked hard to bring the Worlds
Fair to New York Mr.. Jones has bar
rel. but it isn't big one, and there is
something the matter with the ssspigot; it
doesn't turn easily. Besides, Mr. Jones
is not always discreet or even sensible.
SO the fact that he has been Lieutenant
Governor, and that he really ought to be
Governor now, if MIR. Hill weren't strad-
ding, is not likely to help him much.
Of course there are plenty of dark
horses. Mayor Capin, of Brooklyn, was
considered a very rapid runner at one
time, but local scandals have crippled
him. Mr.. Covert, who represents the
First district in Congress, would like to
lie candidate.
On the Republican side there is not
yet nearly so much interest shown This
does not mean that there will not be a
fight, and q hot one, later. 1t simply
means that election is long way off
1t is hv no means impossible that Fed
erick Schroeder, Of Brooklyn, may be run
on platform with liberal excise plank
to please his German fellow-ci tizens
which would be queer enough comment
on the high license campaign when War.
