The trouble appears to centre around the govcrnorsblp, a position which, as everyone knows, ls about to become vacant and for tho fill- ug of which the supply is for in tixcess of the demand. It will be observed that the Min- lslor has been twice entertained up-to-ddle, u circumstance which, on the surface, ls quite in keeping with the well known hospitality of the province, but the "wise ones" of thopurty are attaching consid- lcrzible significance to the earlier iof the two functions, that held in Yletorln llotcl on ‘Saturday lullzht and of which nothing was uutil it 'l‘hl.~i was an eminently select of- fair, an assembly of the elect, as it were, and the significant thing about it u-ns the fact that all the guests, with the exception of two, ivere prospective‘ governors! More significant still, and savoring of tho iunnlpulutlon of the machine, was the fact that all the prospec- tive goveruorsflwero not there. The guests were as follows, according to lho Patriot. lion. John E. Sin- clair, tho reputed father of the func- tion, lion. J. Ii.

Besides the officers of the Exec- utive the "several others" were Mr. Beatty of Vancouver and Mr. Muc- iionald of the Patriot; the other lzucsls, it will be observed, have all boon mentioned and are sold to be applicants for the govcruorshlp. Just what tranhplred when all those claimants got their heads to- gether, just what "the governor of North Carolina sold to the gov- ornor of South Carolina" has not been revealed and the orgnn's re- port differs materially from its us» uni reports of Liberal functions. The lnttcr are invariably described in supcrlntives interspersed with mipltal letters and crypt’c pass- llacs; this one is subdued, whis- pared, alluded its if it was not ox- pedlont for the absentee governors to know too much about it. The second function held lust night at the Beach Grove Inn was lilst an ordinary gathering of the "hol pollol", the rank and filo who aspire not to govornorships or other ilositlons of emolumout and after whose departure they being fairly respectable, the wise host does not consider it necessary to count the fllmonn and the brlc-a-brsc.
