The Governor expresses regret at the failure of the efiort to i the building nf a competing railroad from ISaltimore to the coal fields. Allusion was nude to Archer de- talcalion. It is the opinion of the Governor the investigation i was too severe in its criticisms his failure to discover Archer's defalcation, hie trusted Archer implicitly and was, ike many others, deceived.

The Governor shows a the new law i he inspection of tobacvo has sived ihe Stale about $34,000 in 1893 and 1891. A thorough revision of the general oyster law and a repeal' of the numerous local laws is advised. The fishery iorcc is shown to cost the State oao over and above the receipts. His Excellency recommends that the Australian ballot be applied to all the counties and to primary elections. A general assessment law is also be advocated.

The Governor excuses his veto of the bill passed by the Legislature on the grounds that il was loo inquisitorial. A liberal appropriation is recommended for the World's Fair. The Agric a College is shown to be on a sound financial basis. A i of the number of trustees is advised. App i a i for charitable institutions, the Governor thinks, should be closely scrutinized, and many thousands of dollars would be saved.

The Governor hesitates to recommend an increased appropriation for Stale militia, unless a larger tax is placed on the gross receipts ot railroad and foreign corporations. The establishment of a bind'iig-twine factory in the Penitentiary is again suggesled as a grcal advantage to the farmers. He thinks that no more pay paticnls should be received at Spring Grove. 1 he calling of a constitutional con- i is also one of the recommendations. The cost of such a convention would be repaid amply by the increase of the basis of taxation.

The financial outlook of the State is thought by the Governor to be very encouraging, and he sees no reason why Maryland should not be absolutely free from debt in a few years.

As for Governor Jackson's case the impression continues a he has ihe greatesl strength to Colonel Smith.

Hi.s friends declare emphatically a he a be i out of the light, but a he will remain in the field i the end. The Jackson men don't Like kindly to the sugges- tiou of a "dark horse," and some of them have hinted a i they would rather to John Walter Smith than help elect anybody but llie Govcrner. Mr. "boom" gained some strenglh yesterday, but it is still handicapped by the almost i a belief a it is being encouraged by politicians only as a "bluff," in order to keep Eastern Shore voter, scattered as much as possible.

MK. IT.AUCE'S HDOM. Mr. Aided Pearce left for his home at Chestertown this aflernoon. In i i i reporter be- i leaving, Mr.

Pearce said his position in regard to the Senatorial contest xvas a If elected, he would very xxillingly accept, but he did not i lo go into any light for llie place. He seemed to be satisfied a his chances were very good. The a stated in the A'ews yesterday a Mr. a Rasin xvas his a support is generally accepted as Irue. Mr.

Rasin is himself of a Kent county a i ly and while hi.s associations i Mr. Pearce have been of a personal rather a of a political nature, it is known a he has a high regard for a gentleman. In the present instance, xvheie a choice is probably to be made between a nol been actively engaged iu the contest and a not become identified xvith factions, il is very plausibly argued a Mr. Rasin would a a Mr. Pearce.

The boom of the a from Kent seemed to have gained re- nexved vigor this morning, and many persons who refused to regard his candidacy seriously a few days ago, were lo-day joining in the cry, "It is either Gibson or Pearce." CONFIDENCE IS OIllbON. Considerable has been occasioned by the fact a many of those- yesterday shouting loudes't. Jackson and predicting his electioii certain are to-day very confident thai Gibson xvill he his own successor. It is said a neither Jackson or Smith are as j-it ready to acknowledge a they arc out of the contest, but a a realization of the a xvill soon come over them, and that Jackson xvill tliroiv his strength to Gibson. If the xvishes of Senator i in reference to the Eastern Shore Sena- loiship could be definitely ascertained and publicly announced, and if his choice xvere either Pearce or Gibson, the problem xvould probably be settled in half an hour.
