THE GoyERNoRsHIP.

From all quarters come the most un-
mistakable evidences of keen interest in
the NEWS series of " Gubernatorial Pos
sibiHties," and a general feeling of salts
faction that the party is so undeniably
rich in good material. Speaking of one
of the sterling Republicans whose names
we have brought forward, the Woon-
socket Reporter says:
The Providence News has for some time
past been discussing gubernatorial possl-
birlties, aud at last has found a probabili-
" in the person of ID. Russell Brown OF
Providence who. as the NEWS suggests,
looms up prominently" and the Repub-
lican party would go far before finding a
candidate more popular with the party,
The gentleman is a. self-made man, the
very soul of honor in all his business deal
ings, courteous, big-hearted ana exceed
ingly popular with his fellow citizens Of
all classes. While thorough Republican,
believing conscientiously in the party OF
Lincoln, he is broad and tolerant in his
views of public affairs, always fearless in
commending the right and condemning
the wrong wherever found. When his
name was first mentioned in connection
with the nomination IL aroused much en-
thusiasm and should he be selected and
elected, Rhode Island will add another
name TO its list of illustrious governors
Woonsocket would give him a handsome
vote.
WE have already noted the manner in
which Mr.. Browns candidacy has been
received in Newport, and our Pawtuxet
Valley correspondent reports strong
demand for him i'll that quarter. That
Mr.. Brown, although Providence man,
is SO popular in the remotest portions of
the State, is certainly strong argu-
ment in his favor. Providence, Woon-
socket, Newport and the Pawtuxet Val
ley make n strong backing.

MIR. wETMoIuE,s POSITION.

Those were earnest, sincere and manly
words which Col. Wilson uttered to a
News reporter yesterday with respect to
the withdrawal of ex-Gov. Wetmore
from the Senatorial canvass
If Newport county can be made unit
for Senator Aldrich through any effort of
Gov. Wetmore that unity can be counted
upon now.
If anything is desired of Gov. Wet
more 10 bring Providence county in sol
idly for Senator Aldrch, all that need be
done is to suggest that fact ana his lnflu-
ence will be directed TO that end.
Early in our talks on his probable can
didacy he was strongly opposed TO any
deals with the enemy, and said that were
his election TO depend upon any dickering
with the Democrats he could be counted
out of the race at the very start.
This has the true ring. Those who
have looked TO see Gov. Wetmore sulk,
or even remit his earnest efforts for Re-
publican success i'll the State, will be
very much disappointed. Mr.. Wetmore
is not that kind of a man.
1t is well understood that Mr.. Aldrich
had sincerely wished to retire from the
position he has so well filled at the end of
his term. Had he been permitted to doso,
Mr.. Wetmore would undoubtedly have
been his successor. But it is bad work
swopping horses while crossing stream,
and Republicans outside of the State as
well as within it insisted that SO long as
what must be called in justice to
Rhode Island man the Aldrich- Mckinley
bill was still on the defensive, its ex-
ponent in the Senate must not leave the
ranks.
To that feeling is due Mr.. Aldrich's
reluctant consent TO stand again for his
old office, and Mr.. Wetmore's forbear-
ance in the pursuit of an honorable ambi
ton. 1t does both credit.

goods will be delivered. Ii is smooth
sailing for certain distance in front Of
him, but afterwards
Hill has held his commission as a
United States Senator for eleven months
and has sat in his seat eleven days. IL
the great mass of silent voters, the peo-
PIE who are not heard from ON the
stump or through the newspapers, but
who have long memories, could overlook
this flagrant neglect of duty, his chances
of making a good run are reduced to
zero by the patent fact that the whole
financial world distrusts him.
Free silver is not a mere phrase to
juggle with. 1t is an impending calam-
ity. The better element of the Democ-
racy itself is afraid that Democratic
ascendency means financial disaster
This is the key TO the political situation I;
With a delegation of seventy-two men,
bers behind him, if Hill doesn't carry
the convention for himself, he can and
undoubtedly will turn over his strength
to some other free silver man. It's
going TO be a fight for sound money,
and since Hill will be the candidate or
name the candidate, the Republican
party is sure from the outset of the
hearty cooperation of all the conserva-
tive, common sense business integrity
of the nation. The struggle has but
one possible issue--the political death

TO LIST GOLD BULLION.

The application of Kennett, Hopkins
& Co., brokers for Cammack, to the
New York Stock Exchange Listing Com
mittee to list gold bullion, is a start
ling indication of the tension to which
the discussion of the Bland silver bill
has strained the financial situation. The
fears that the silver agitation is really
fastening a silver basis and the disap-
pearance of gold as "A medium have be-
come so poignant that, in the opinion of
many, gold bullion, if listed, would sell
to-day ut 4 premium. The prophecy is
freely uttered that, however prompt
may be the present refusal to allow
speculation in the yellow metal, before
the year is out il will be a commodity
on the stock exchange, and there will be

$500, ,0O0, 600 of that metal out of circula-
ton and to reopen the gold gambling
rooms in New York for dealings in SO
much gold as would still be needed for
the settlement of foreign balances and
gold contracts at home.
1t is fortunate, indeed, for the country
that il has a Republican President.
