The Gubernatorial Contest.

The friends of Elk. Governor Peabudy,
who supported him during the cam
paign last fall, and who believe that
he was elected governor, regret that
the contest which was decided in the
legislature Thursday OF last week
could not have been decided uncond-
tionally.
A number of so.called republicans
allowed either their dislike of Peabody
or the money Of the Adams supporters
TO influence them to such an extent
that they refused to vote for the seat
ing of Peabody until he had pledged
himself to resign the office within
twenty-fuur hours after he had been
placed therein. This pledge Governor
Peabody fulfilled to the letter, and the
acceptance OF his resignation made
Lieutenant Governor Mcdonald gov
ernor.
A compromise is never satisfactory
to ths people, no matter how satisfac
tory it may be to those who make it..
AlUtlouRu NoNCiuoI NASLoudIu 10 d
staunch republican and an able man,
and no doubt will make satisfactory
official, the man who was declared
elected by the general assembly should
have been permitted to retain the Of
flee. Personally we do not admire Pea
body, and we believe that he should
never have jeopardized the repnbli-
can ticket last fall by forcing himself
upon it, but after he had contested the
election of Adams and had won the
contest, he should have been allowed
to enjoy the fruits of his victory.
The men whose party loyalty was so
scant as to force their fellows to sub
init to an unsatisfactory compromise,
are not entitled to any further favors
from republicans.
