Coler was offi cially notified at the tonight Tilden club of his nomination for governor by the democrats. There was a large gathering of democrats present. Coler in accepting the nomination made a lengthy speech. He created something of a stir by his remarks on the plank of the democratic platform advocating government ownership of mines. In re lation to this he said he must 9peak frankly, and declared his views of all such questions to be that before the government is called upon to assume responsibility of ownership, the nower of regulation should first of all be hon estly and thoroughly tested. He further expressed the belief that state regula tion and control of corporations of its. own creation should be preferred to concentration of euch power in the hands of the federal government. This is considered by some as tanta mount to a refusal by him to endorse the government ownership plank. The remainder of his remarks were devoted to trusts, tariff and state issues. He favored removal of the tariff from every article in the production and sale of which a mononolv was -rpfltprf Mo declared he concurred with Clevplan in the belief that tariff revision is the leading national issue of the hour.
