Elkins Has Not Been Resident of West
Virginia Long Enough to Make Himself
Eligible for Governor

Virginia Long Enough to Make Himself
Eligible for Governor
Special 7sIsorGm TO the Reoistsr.
WASHINGTON. May 19.-The discus
sion in regard to the eligibility OF Sec
retary Elkins to the Office of Governor
of West Virginia has excited much at
tention here, and the point made that
he has not been resident Of the State
the required five years is looked on as
settling the question OF his candidacy.
While none Of the West. Virginia
members or Senators is in a position to
State precisely how long Mr.. Elkins has
been resident OF the State, IL is the i'm
preston OF all of them that he
cannot claim to have lived there five
years. One very important point bear
Ing on the question has been brought
out here. IL is this: In the early sum-
mer OF 1858 Mr.. Elkins delivered an ad-
dress before the students Of the Univer-
sity OF West Virginia at Morgantown.
This address was afterwards printed
and issued in pamphlet form by the
author. On the title page appeared the
words, "By Mr.. Stephen B. Elkins, of
New York" If Mr.. Elkins, in the
summer of 1883, less than four years
ago, regarded himself as citizen OF
New York, it Is very clear he could not
be voted for Governor of West Virginia
this fall. So, after all, the West Vir-
ginia Republicans will have to look else
where for candidate for Governor.

The Georgia and Virginia Conventions
Eagerly Discussed in Washington.

Special Tsltorcm to the Rsoistsr.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 19.-The
results OF the Democratic conventions
in Georgia and Virginia, were
eagerly discussed here today. 1t was
almost the sole topic OF political gos-
sip among Democrats. The supporters
OF Cleveland were highly elated and de-
clared it the strongest proof yet given
that the people are bound to have
Cleveland for their candidate despite
the opposition of the politicians. They
said the surprising result in Geoagia,
where the Hill or anti-Cleveland organ
ization was strong and most active,
showed that Senator Hill could no
longer be regarded as in the presiden-
tial race.
Representative Wilson was particu-
larly well satisfied with the news. He
said the indications that Mr.. Cleveland
would get the nomination were now
stronger than ever. Another prominent
Southern Democratic Congressman,
who did not wish TO be quoted by
name, took the same view, aud added
that the example Of Georgia would be
followed by Mississippi, Alabama and
every other Southern State which had
still TO select delegates to Chicago. Ex-
Congressman Barnes, OF Georgia, one
Of the ablest politicians OF that State,
was at the Capitol and talked
freely about the matter. There was
no doubt in his mind, he said, that
the convention represented the real SEN
timent of the State, and therefore
it must be evident to every one that
Georgia favored Cleveland probably in
the ratio OF three to one, as between
Cleveland and Hill. This discrepancy,
he confessed, was larger than he had
anticipated, and it would certainly be
very discouraging to the Hill forces.

the same reason. The advocates of the bill
