Another Democratic Candidate

The Washington correspondent of the Detroit Evening News brings out another candidate for governor in the dispatches Wednesday, it being Lester H. Salsbury, of Adrián. The dispatch says. Washington, June 6. - "Lester H. Salsbury will be the Dickinsonian candidate for governor, and an awful fight will be up against W'hiting in the staje convention." This statement is made here today and seems to indícate that plans which the anti-Campau crowd have been trying to arrange for some time past have finally been perfected. Salsbury has been reluctant about figuring as a candidate, but, it is said, has now virtually given his assent. The Salsbury boom is described here as having been made ready for launching only in the event of certain contingencies. Whiting can still avoid convention opposition from the referees if he wants to. As the can'didate of the whole party rather than a faction, he can be named by acclamation, under a positive agreement that his nominatiou is not to be held up as z signal for anti-administration triumph. If he thinks that it would be too great a handicap at the polls to make terms with the referees and wave aloft the olive branch, Salsbury is to be trottèd out. Mr. Gorman, whose constitutent Mr. Salsbury is, admitted on his return from Michigan that there was lots of pressure on the Adrián man to get him into the race. Gorman himself regrets the plan, as he fears t will affect Salsbury's candidacy for Gen. Cutcheon's place on the fortifications board, in behalf of which the congressman has been working so long. "It won't interfere a bit," the referees say, "In fact it will help Salsbury to be the democratie candidate for governor." Mr. Gorman, however, expects that Mr. Cutcheon will be bounced very soon now, and if Salsbury should take the nomination for governor it would tie him up until next f all, and the fortifications board vacancy would in the meantime be given to somebody else. A dispatch from Adrián last night states that Mr. Salsbury positively refuses to be a candidate.
