POLITICAL BED FELLOWS.

The Republicans o; California have
nominated W. M. Estee for governor
Estee was chairman of the national CON.
vention that nominated Garfield, and, in
some respects, possesses the elements
OF greatness. He is unpopular in his
own State among the people, however,
and was the only Republican on the
State ticket to be defeated when Gem
eral Stoneman beat him for governor by
such large majority.
As a politician he is success, and re.
ceiyed the nomination in exchange for
his support of M. III DeYoung for the
United States Senate. During Estee's
former race DeYoung's paper referred
TO him as demagogue, whom "every
time he shows his head we will smite.
Then, in the name of truth, smite him
again" Now the Chronicle 10 favoring
his election and he and MIR. DeYounp

THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY.

A gentleman largely interes ted in the
future prosperity OF Roanoke writes his
regrets to THE TIMES that SO little local
interest is being taken in the tobacco
industry.
1t is fact that there is no industry
that brings into community moro
wealth than the manufacture OF tobacco.
1t ls the foundation OF Richmond
Petersburg, Danville and Lyn chburg
and there is no good reason apparent
why Roanoke should be confined to the
operations OF ono prosperous firm. This
+ city is the natural center OF LARGO
area of some OF the best tobacco pro-
ducing country in the world and upon
6 1t we could draw for all manufacturing
grades.
AT one time the manufacture of
tobacco was leading industry of Roa-.
noke, but it was permitted to almost
die from inattention when the swifter
real estate speculation became the
craze. While men are willing to con-
slider reasonable and regular profits
from business, it is natural to presume
s that the attention of some of them will
be turned towards tobacco
The employment of the Same amount
OF industry and enterprise that has
caused the erection of large plants en-
& ploying thousands of men in Other
cities would induce the location of SINH
4 lar factories here.
