 The Republican friends of lieute- nant Governor Lake, in this town, ] have organized a @Eake Club, and sta1t off with claim of one hundred members. Naturally, being gentle man of unbemished character, an able and experienced official, those among whom he was born and educated, learned to esteem him for his personal traits of character, shonid prefer To see him elevated to honorable office in pre- ference 10 any other candidate, though he may be equally worthy and equally fitted for the office to which each as pires. The personal friends and neigh bors of NIT. Lilley will support him for ibe same reasons, and We should be very much surprised if they did not. Mf. Eiiley has strong friends Tn this town who will give their support 10 him for various reasons, perhaps some because of his services in Congress, m his endeaVor to fhwart schemes to fraudulently overreach the govern. ment. It is about settled that the con test to be the candidate for Governor will be confined To the above two gen tlemen, and from all indications the Gibraltar of the Republican Party Will give it's support to is honored son.
