LOUKS WELL FOR WING.
INDICATIONS THAT GOV, SMITH MAY
BE INTERESTED IN HIM.

John II. Watson, of Bradford, was in
me city last Saturday and had an inter-
Wow with George W, Wing. 1t is un-
derstood that Mr. Watson desired to
nave MIR. Wing withdraw from the
judgcship contest in his favor, but this
Mr.. Wing would not do.
1t is said that MIR. Watson was willing
&c move to Washington county if he was
appointed Judge. There is now one
Judge from Orange county, Judge Row
ell, and it is not likely that Gov. Smith
will appoint second.
Mr.. Wing has the name OF every
lawyer in Washington county on his
petition with the exception Of three, w.
A. Lord, j. j. Deavi,t and George E.
Holden. Mr.. Lord had partly promised
mis- support to another candidate before
he knew that Mr.. Wing WAS in the field.
Mr.. Deavitt refrains fran signing be-
cause of a feeling against Gov. Smith,
and lack of desire on his part to curry
favor. George f. Holden refuses TO
sign because of religious notions, and
being on general principles opposed to
petitions.
Gov. Smith requested the last of the
week to we'll knuwn lawyer of Wash
ns ton county bar. over the telephone
that he secure all the members of Wash
ngton county bar, or as many of them
as possible, and hurry the petition to
