As We See IT Now.

The people at this early day are
talking about future elections and an
unusual amount of this talk relates
to the governorship. Perhaps the
number and prominence of the sug-
gestsd, or announced candidates for
this honor gives reason for this ear
ly interchange CT opinions. At any
rate the discussion is on, and it re-
iates to an Office pee uliarly honored
In Virginia. Our own personal view
was in accord with what seemed 10 be
the general opinion of the members
Of the last gubernatorIal convention
to the effect that the nomination was
due TO an eminent De mocrat, who
has given faithful and efficient ser
vice to his party. 1t seems now, how
ever. that for reasons which NAV be
IN no sense to his discredit that thi.
gentlemen who is also our persona
friend, cannot secure the nomination
The other candidates, young mer
bright and vigorous and hailing from
the same county, although more
highly placed, also aspire to thi.
honor.
Other candidates, one from the
lower valley and one from the city
of Norfolk, are mentioned and 9th
ers may come in before the start is
made, but the man who seems to ms
from the present point of view is the
Hon. Edward Echols, of Stanton.
None has better right to the loyal
support of his party. None of his
competitors can claim a purer rec
ord or higher degree of executive
ability aud none would bring to the
Executive Office a cleaner view of
duty or a sterner sense of response
bility.

1t now seems that the ASA ssina.
ton of Goebel was really part of a

Henry E. Youtsey is now in Jail at

being accessory before the fact to the

was a great shock to the pc ,ple of
Newport aui Covington where he
has spent most OF his life, and where
he is known as an honest industrious

fair advantage of anybody.
Yet the statement was sent ont
from Kentucky yesterday that if this
man Youtsey will tell all he knows
he can hang Governor Taylor.
Detective Dee Armstrong, of Lou

case, says that there is only one
way for (Governor) w. S. Taylor to
escape the gallows, and that is to
commit suicide.
This is terrible charge against a
man who claims to be Governor of
Kentucky. Is it possible that the as
