every indication that the utmost harmony

among the leaders to get together and put
up the strongest ticket possible.
Philips Lee Goldsborough of the eastern

are just now the only two men who appear
to be in the fight for the nomination for
governor-though it must be understood
that the word fight means a friendly RI
valry or contest among the adherents of the
two men. Today Gather stands the best
chance of being nominated as it is con-
coded that he has the most votes large
