mittee on Foreign Affairs to-day, and

YOUNGSTOWN, o., Jan. SIT being ru-
mored that Gen. A. W. Jones would be
a Republican candidate for Governor,
he was asked regarding the matter, and
said: 81 have not had the leas. idea of
being a candidate for the nomination for
Governor this year. Itseems to be pretty
well understood all over the State that
Major Mckinley can have the honor if
he will take it. I believe he will be Cho.
sen by reclamation. The other day he
was quoted in an interview as saying he
was not seeking the office, but that he
should do what his party wanted OF hin.
The Significance OF such view is easily
seen. believe Major Mckinley would
have an abnormally large majority. His
heroic fight in the Sixteenth district won
him admirers everywhere; and, besides,
the trouble in Hamilton county will, !
believe, result in largo gains for cur

GOV. RUSSELLIS INAUGURAL.
He Deals at Great Length With the Que
ton Of the Lobby,

1 ~
ton OF tho Lobby.
BosroN, MASS, Jan. S.-Gov. Russell
took the oath Of Office at 1890 to-day,
He then proceeded to read his inaugural
address. In his message Gov. Russell
advocates an amendment to the Consti-
tuition OF the State, annulling 80 much
of it as requires the payment of a tax as
qualification for voting. He advises
that the law requiring the publication
OF election expenses be extended and be
made more stringent.
The Governor deals with the question
of the "lobby" at great length. He
says: "Itis far easier to state the evil
than to suggest the remedy. Clearly it
is impossible aud improper to prevent
a constituent or any person from having
the freest access to Legislator. This
constitutional right guaranteed to the
people gives opportunity to the lobby
to do its work. Prevention by non.in'
tercourse is therefore impossible. Pre-.
ventiou by publicity ia possible, and l
would suggest for your consideration
whether remedy may not bs found in
this direction by making in easier than
it is now publicly to Investigate the
methods used and money spent on pend
ing legislation aud also by giving proper
officers before measure finally becomes
law to demand under oath a full etate-
ment as to these matters. The fear Of
publicity and through 1t OF defeat may
stop improper practices by making them
worse than useless
Governor Russell strongly recon-
mends that the Legislature petition
Congress to take proper protection OF
railroad employees against the dangers to
which they are exposed.
