The statement that Governor Rus sell has advised the Republican Board of County Commissioners of New Hanoter county to yield to the ruling of Judge Robinson and let the Demo cratic Board take possession ia con sidered thoroughly reliable. Though private secretary Cade and all of the State officials deny having given out such information and plead ignorance on the subject, there ia one cIom- to the Governor whn is authority for the statenrent. Hp 'will not allow his narnfi U ! used, the information, he says, is giiar.m.t-d. The Iteimblicaii Hi;irl, it in naiil. wrote lo the Governor at the time fit the institution of proceedings by the Democratic Board, asking for advice on the subject and this is the (rov ernor" reason for tendering the ad vice. It is stated that the Ooviernor considered the fight of the Hepublican Board as hopeless and thus informed them. He alao said in his letter that his advice was in accord with a r-cent ruling iof the State Supreme Court. The opinion of a gentleman in thia city who is an intimate friend of the Governor, is that IUism-H s reuvttis for giving: this advice is not alone the status of the law, but he realizes the incompetency of the Republican board and believes matters are in Mich con dition as will embarrass the Demo cratic board when it comes into power.
