In css* of eonric- tion ef Marshall, Mr. Mcl-aurin, as gov ernor, might be called upon to axereise his pardoning power in which event he would find himself in a very awkward predicament. Outside of condition* that conld arise in ease of Marshall's conviction and appeal to governor Me Laurin, for executive clemency, it is feared the very fact of his appearing as attorney in such an important and sensational trial may andangar his chances of election. A prominent minister was heard to say yesterday: "If MeLaurin takes part in that trial I'll vote th* populist ticket.” One deflection does not count for much but preachers are Influential per sons around here and sueb a treat shows which way the wind blows. Your reporter has heard score* of ad vert* criticisms on Govsrnor-to-be-Mo- Laurin, in this connection.
