The Tennessee Governorship.

It is not yet settled who win be the
next governor Of Tennessee. The candi-
dates were II. Clay Evans, republican.
on their face give Mir. Evans majority
of S7i.
The legislature is now in session. and is
prepared to canvass the returns. II is
alleged that extensive frauds We're com
mitted in the republican counties. 1t is
admitted by the republicans that the law
requiring the payment Of taxes as a quail
ihcation for voting was not generally
complied with.
The republicans also charge that extern
sive frauds were committed by demo-
Gratis in the democratic counties. Under
this state of affairs the legislature can
hardly do otherwise than make an iuves-
tigatlon. Pending the Investigation GOV.
Turney will continue to act as governor.
The reublicans arc, of course. making
a great cutlery about the matter. They
say that Mr.. Evans ought TO be inausura-
ted before an investigation is held. THAT
is manifestly illogical II Mr.. Evans was
not elected governor why should he be
inaugurated? It is the duty Of the legis-
lature to find out who was elected. 1t
is the judge of that question.
The whole republican press of the coun-
try has come TO the aid of Mr. Evans.
The point is made that although Mr.. Kolb,
the populist candidate for governor in
Alabama, charged that he had been de-
feated by fraud and demanded an inves-
tgation. no investigation was held. 1t is
! true that Mr.. Kolb charged fraud and de-
manded an investigation, but Col oates
majority was over $4,000. and the legisla-
| ture was fully satisfied that Col. Oates
was elected. Mr. Kolb presented no proof
! of his charges. The Alabama legislature
! investigated sufficiently to be satisfied that
! Mr.. Kolb had not been elected,
/ The legislature Of Tennessee is demo
/ cratic, bat there is no danger that it will
/ be controlled by partisan spirit. If Mr..
/ Evans was elected he will get the office
/ of governor. but ne will have to show
! that he was elected.

well-to-do at the time of his death. The
value of his personal estate so the APP
praiser says, was $SO,9345 $50. With that
sum Mr.. Gould in the year 1890 could have
paid for all the property in the cities OF
Atlanta and Savannah. at its assessed
value; he could have paid the public debt
of the German empire mot Prussia or
the separate states; he could have pur-
chased all of the exports of the empire
of japan for a year and had the snug
sum OF S25.00o.00 eft over; he could have
bought Albany (the capital of New York;
at what the census calls its actual
value" and had S1o0oO,00o left for pocket
money. II is alleged that Mir. Could some
