OdeIl for GoVe=aOr--It is given out
from Platt headquarters in New York that
II the Hon. B. b. OdeII wants the noIni-
nation for Governor all he has TO do is
to signify his wish and he shall have it
grGtifed- It has been known all along
that this was the condition Of affairs in
New York. and that even before the Rough
Rider consented TO the ray;shiag opera
tion at Philadelphia Odeil could get the
Gubernatorial nomination IL he wanted II.
But il is By no means certain that Odeil
wants IL This is true for various rea-
sons. Not tho least Of these is that Mr..
Oden is making an enormous fortune as
the chief lobbyist OF the Platt machine at
Albany, and it is thought that he would
not care 10 give up this good thing" for
position whick would make Il incumbent
upon him 10 f.owa upon the lobby. Then,

WISE COUNSEL PREVAILS.
and Agree to Avoid n Com

Frankfort, Ky, March 25.-Notwith-
standing that troops recognizing the
dual governors were quartered within
two squares of each other, the repub-
lican troops at the state house, under
orders from republican Gov. Taylor,
and the democratic troops at the court
house, guarding Prisoners Powers,
Culton and Davis, under orders from
democratic GOV. Beckham, the day was
quiet.
The republican adjutant general,
Collier, and democratic assistant adj
jutant general, Murray were together
some time this morning.
Gen. Collier called to disclaim re-
sponsibility for the mine which some
of the soldiers made pretense of lay
ing, but it is understood their talk
took on wider scope, and that they
discussed and mutually agreed upon
plans to avoid the possibility of any
sort of a clash between the troops.
The examining trial of Powers, il is
believed, will be completed either
Tuesday or Wednesday, and that if
Powers is held over the other defend
ants will waive examination. Wharf
ton Golden, the star witness for the
commonwealth, whose illness on the
stand yesterday forced an adjourn
ment of the court twice, is reported
by his physician as very much i'm
proved tonight, and in better condi-
ton to go into the witness box than
he was yesterday.
