The Pittsburg Statesman thus speaks of a report which we noticed the other day, respecting the reported candidates for the office of governor of the state of Pennsylvania: "We should like to know upon what authority the Gazette editor has announced general Lacock as a candidate for governor. We know that he has not the slightest grounds to justify him in so doing. With regard to Messrs. Baldwin and Sergeant being candidates, we know nothing, not being in the secret—they may, or may not, be candidates, for aught we know; but this much we feel confident of, that neither of them stands any chance for that office."
