GOVERNOR BRADLEY's ATTITUDE
Frankfort. Ky, Nov 16.-Govcrnor
Bradley has the members OF both par
ties guessing what hand he will take in
the event of collision between Goebcl
and Taylor over the Governorship.
Bradley's close friends say he will not
recognize Goebel as Governor If the
State Board goes behind the original
returns I'll order to obtain for him a
certificate of election.
INAUGURAL DAY.
The Governor himself will not talk,
but as he Is in conference with Adju-
tant-General Collier almost constantly.
rumors of this kind are worrying the
Democratic leaders. No Governor will
be inaugurated December 18th. the date
prescribed by law. The State Election
Commission has not been convened to
canvass the returns. The law provides
that it must meet not later than De-
cember 4th.

COMMITTED. SUCCEED.

Tom Brown is dead, and his death was caused by his own hands.
 About , o'clock las evening he left his home on Marina street, telling his wife, so the latter saysthat he intended walk ing just as far as he could, and then would commit suicide. While she did not take the threat seriously at first. she later gave the alarm, and Robert Brow, B II. Smith and other friends started searching parties out in quest of him. Every place where it was thought he might have gone was visited, the search for him being kept up during the night.
 Just before noon, boy in d very exl cited state of mind, came breathlessly into town and reported that he had just discovered dead man under pine tres just deyond the cemetery east of town. He was too much excited or frightened to look at the corpse, hence was unable to tell who it was. The sheriff and oth- CTS immediately repaired to the spot and at once identified the body as that of Brown. He still had revolver in his right hand, with finger on the trigger. A gastiy looking hole inst back of the right ear, clearly showed the deadly use to which it must have been put. Death must have been instantaneous.
 Deceased was forinerly engaged in mining and was probably one of the best known mining men on the Pacific coast having been engaged in this business in Virginia City, Gold Hill, Pioche, Ne vada, as well as other points. He came to Arizona as superintendent of the Tip Top mine and has resided in the territory ever since. In later years he has been engaged in the hotel business in Mari copa, Phoenix and Prescott the last min- ing that he did having been on Cherry creek few years ago.
 About two years ago he ruffered para alytic stroke, from which he nearly died but recovered sufficiently to be able to ge around, though unable to do any thing. He has recently had financial and other troubles. which with his phys ical infrmity, is supposed to have SO preyed upon his mind that he came t5 the conclusieh that tiig easiest Way ont of his troubles was put to au end to his s- existence, ,-Ex.
