WAsIiIHGToS, D. c., March 27-Tho
talk OF making Representative Wm. L.
Wilson the Democratic candidate for
governor is increasing. Mr.. Wilson
himself is not saying anything, but the
talk goes OH just the same, 1t is OF
course well understood that he is not as
pleasantly situated in this, session OF
Congress rs he has been in past sessions.
lie did not get the committee assign
ments which he had n right TO expect;
but flor all that he has not yet been
heard TO openly declare that he would
give up his seat in Congress 10 make q
very doubtful gubcrnatoral race, cspe-
cially in view oil the possible senatorial
complications arising.
a prominent West Virginia politician
said to the lNTELLIGENcIR correspond
ent recently, in talking on this subject:
1T looks to mo now as though Mr.. Will
son would be compelled to taks the
Democratic nomination. There are
three diiieront Democratic factions in
the state which are desirous OF seeing
him nominated.
First and foremost the men who
want his seat for Governor Fleming.
when the latter's term shall expire.
The Fleming boom Tor Congress is al
ready being worked for all it is worth.
1t has long since been inauguratod in
Fairmont and NIannington, has been
vigorously propagatcd from Charleston,
and is gradually spreading to Ill parts
OF the district. The governor and his
followers have determined that Mr..
Wilson has served long enough in Con-
gress.
Second, all tho opposition to &Ic.
Corklc, headed by Gen. Watts, has cen
tered or Wilson US the most available
man to win with. Watts knows that he
has no chance alone, but hethinks that
with Wilson he can beat either Nc
COrklc, or get up deadlock: which will
give compromise candidate Il show.
OF course Watts will be the compromise
candidate.
"Third, the men who act tually believe
that Wilson is the only Democrat who
can carry the state for governor actually
want him nominated. Such men rs
Frank Martin. OF Grafton. and John J.
Davis, OF Clarksburg, and many more OF
the same opinion. They arc very
strong element in the party in the
state, even though they are outside tho
ring, and their opinion will hovcweight.
In view OF all these different forces at
work ior him should not be at all sur,
priscd TO see Mr.. Wilson nominated iol

G1BBoNs's CHALLENGE
Accepted by Con Doyle-To Fight Mt 1
Pounds,


Accepted by Con Doyle-To Fight Mt 13G
Pounds.
CHICAGO, March 27.-0n Thursday
James Glib ons issued through the Po-
lice Ga-ette asweeping challenge on be-
half OF his brother, Austin Gibbons, Of
fering to match Austin against any light
weight at l33 pounds for Sl,GGO side,
tho championship and the largest purse
given by any responsible club.
last night Con Doyle, who recently
knocked out Wiley Evans, accepted Glib
bons's challenge, stipulatins only that
tho weight be 1876 pounds, give or take
two. The reply will no doubt be ac-
copied, for it is we'll understood that
Gibbons can fight stronger at 1876 or 13S
pounds than lSS, but placed tho limit
low in order to have no further squab-
bling with Myer or McAulitFe. Doyle
has ample backing for any contest tho
sees fit to arrange. He leaves for Du-
buque tomorrow and will spar there in
about two weeks, probably with Jimmy
Murphy. Hrom Ryan had agreed to box
him, but backed out OF the match.

Preparing for tho Rush to tho Worlds
Fair-Thrco Tracks to tho Coke Regions.
PlrrsnuRGu, Pa, March o7.-Charlos
0. scull, general passenger agent OF the
Baltimore & Ohio road, arrived in the
city yesterday. lIo came hero to make
his appointments in the passenger de-
partment Of tho Pittsburgh & Western,
which was merged into tho Baltimore
& Ohio March 10.
Next in order is the improvement OF
the road. Mr.. Scull gavo ii rs his opin.
ion that through trains to Chicago will
not DO run by way OF Pittsburgh before
next fall.
Something must be done TO provide
for tho enormus freight traffic and to
keep the tracks clear for the fast-trains.
1t has been decided to double.track the
line as we'll rs reballast II and put in
new ties. Tho Baltimore & Ohio now
has the money, and they will spend
about S2,0O0,000 on the Pittsburgh &
Western in betterments. 1t is expect
cd that the bulk OF tho work will be
done by next fall. Tho minor details
concerning the opcratiowof tho road
have not been considered.
"The Baltimore & Ohio has spent u
great deal OF moneyrcccntlyin improve
ments," remarked Mr.. Scull. last year
forty new engines were added to tho
rolling stock. A number OF them were
tho largo type OF passenger locomotives,
with drivers feet G inches i'll diameter.
None are used in this section, as tho
schedules arc not SO fast rs between
Now York and Washington. Last year
tifty-ninc miles OF third track were
built.
1t Is tho intention to build - miles OF
third track this summer between Pitts
burgh and Connellsville. About 80
miles will be put down on the Baltimore
division. The third track for sidings is
good idea, rs freight trains can run
OH and of them from the main tracks
without stopping.
II expect the travel TO the Worlds
Fair next year will be heavy. l don't
look for 4 great dea! from Europe. ]
don't believe moro than 5000 people
will come from the Old World to the
fair, and with eight lines from New
York 10 Chicago, the business will be
small when it is divided among them.
Tho European travel will be 4 mere
bagatelle compared to oar own The
Western passengers will come East, and
the Eastern people will so to the ior
West before they return home. think
the lake lines will do ii big business. A
trip over the lakes is very fascinating,
and q number OF people take il year
after year. Nothing has been done
about rates, but / think m excursion
ticket, good for six months, ut u two
third rate, will be established. Lower
rates will be made where the time is
shorter"

Byrnes to-day arrested five men who
arc said to have been implicated in tho
boldcst robbery that has occurred in
this city since the looting OF the Nam

Through the hole thus made they en-.

the property. They replaced the shut
tiers and went away. The police failed
to detect the robbery and knew nothing
OF it until Friedrich reported it.

Tho Leading Democratic Organ Calls on

INDIANAPOLIS, March 27.-Thc Indian
apolis Sentinel, which has heretofore sup
ported Governor Gray. will tomorrow
morning demand that he withdrawirom
the presidential race in favor Of Cleve-
land. Its editorial OIL tho subject will
say:-,-U...-2,,
The Senti:1el has taken special pains to
ascertain the drift OF, Democratic opm-
ion throughout Indiana .on the presi-
dental question:, and has discovered
that 1t is overwhelmingly for Clcvc-
land. Certainly there are not to cx-
coed hall a dozen counties in which, on
u full Democratic vote, Mr.. Cleveland
would not receive more ballots than all
the other persons combined who have
been named in connection with the
the Democrats are practically unan-
imous for Cleveland. Taking the
state through, it is an exceedingly
modest estimate to say that scvcnty-tive
per cent are in favor OF Cleveland us
against the field, and that eighty per
cent are for him as against anybody but
Ex-Governor Gray. This being tho fact
and no man who understands the en-
listing condition in Indiana can honestly
gainsay it-ex-Govcrno Gray certainly
owes it to himself and the party who
has SO highly honorcd him in tho past,
to relieve the situation OF tho embar-
rassment which his presidential candi-
dacy involves"

thom arc pledged to free silver and will
not dare 10 violate their pledges. The
only member from Wost Virginia, Mr..
Wilson, who voted with the opponents
OF the Bland bill, is one Of these men.
ile is known TO favor free silver; 1t Is
confidently asserted that he is pledged
to Its support; but ho is also ono OF
those who favor q postponement OF the
question until after tho fall elections,
and to that end Tho voted to table tho
demand for tho previous question oil
Mr.. Burrows test vote. Tho other
three members from West Virginia
made no bones OF their votes. What.
ever the result may now DO they can
not hedge. They aro compelled now to
go before their constituents on tho di-
rect issue oil silver or anti.silver.
An examination OF The vote on Bur
rows's motion, by which tho relative
strength OF the two factions was asccr-
tanned, shows. most clearly whcro the
credit for any check which free silver
may have experienced must rest. The
vote was tie, 14S to i4S, the speaker
voting with tho silver men. Conse-
quently tho motion to table the do
mand for the previous question was
lost and tho fight went on. OF the lis
voting in favor OF tho motion, SO were
Democrats and GG were Republicans.
OF the l4S voting against tabling, 1877
were Democrats and Farmers Alliance
and II were Republicans. OF these II
Republicans only one represented n
district cast Of tho Mississippi river,
and this one, V. a. Taylor, OF Ohio,
afterwards stated that he would not
have so voted il he had thought that his
vote would have radically influenced
tho silver cause.
REPuDLICASs HOLD TIE REST.
In what position would this Demo.
cratic minority OF eighty-two have been
without the support oil the almost solid
Republi an vote? And how much hopo
for the future would it have without
this same support? MIR. lIartcr, who
leads the anti-silvcr fight, most right
eously acknowledges this when he said
in giving the causes which led to the
temporary defeat ofthc Bland bill:
'The sound money Republicans in
the house, and il would be gross injus.
ticc not TO say that, led by cx-Spenkcr
Reed, Mr.. Burrows and many others,
they have proved that they are patriots
first and Republicans last"
The small Republican minority, in
fact, holds the key to the situation. To
it the country must look, and does look,
for help in this crisis. II can be de-
pended on to present the same solid
solid front against any further attempts
10 pass the Bland bill; but it will not
aid any faction OF the Democratic party
to free itself from dilemma

WHAT MAY MEAN.

The New York World, as judicious
friend of the dominant element of the
Democratic party in New York. nat
urally deprecated the action of the state
committee the other day in calling the
convention for election of delegates to
the Chicago convention at so early a
date as Feb. %. This is from two to
four months in advance of the regular
date. and allows little time for express
sion of sentiment in the party. 1t is
not necessary to suppose that it is de-
signed to affect the interest of any
man who may be candidate from that
state to find pertinency in criticism. If
She aim is simply to advertise the
position OF New York. to influ-
ence the action of other states, it
may be treated as impolitic rather than
having purpose to subserve any merely
personal scheme. But it is we'll to avoid
the appearance of dictation. If the
Democrats of the country have an i'm
preston that few men seek to shape
the result to meet their privately formu-
lated ends, there is likely to be NOV
Ing away from that direction. There
are about 100000 Democrats IN the
country, and they intend to have a con-
trolling hand in the nominations at Chi
cagO. No one or two states are so
overshadowing in Importance as to
turn them from the course they
believe to be demanded by the in
terestS of the country and party.
New York has furnished the stand
ard bearers for the party in many pres
identlal elections, and there is no sec
tlonal feeling to cut much figure against
further selection from that state. 1t
may be claimed to be safely Democratic
this year, and very important to the
success of the party. Should it come
with an acceptable candidate clearly
She choice of the masses of the party in
she state. after they have had the freest
opportunity for expression, its voice
would be heard with the greatest defer
ence at Chicago. 1t may be doubted,
however, if judgment made I'D
for the state in February will
have the weight of one coming
from convention held at the
usual later period. 1t might serve to
render impossible the nomination of one
man, but would not necessarily advance
the cause of another. At this time. and
from the present indications, the nam
Ing of so unusual date for the election
of delegates in New York augurs the
selection of candidate for president
outside of that state. Perhaps this is
the extent of the aim underlying the
action of those who called the state con-
vention. 1t may, in that light, be an
exhibition of sagacity and discernment.
1t has been widely understood that in
leaving New York the field of choice
would be in the West. There is moth
Ing in the present outlook to require
modification of this impression.
