CONCEDED TO OWENS.
Colonel Brcckinridse wlI Not Run an
 Indeprndent.

Independent.
 LEXINGTON. Ky, Sept S.-Everything Is quiet, the nomination of Owens being conceded. It was however, n more excit- ing day than any of the preceding week.

Monday 1t became known that their rcp- rescntatives had been dispatched into diff forcnt parts of the district to get all evi- denCo with n view of contesting the nom- ination before tho Democratic congressior- al district committee, which meets at Frankfort next Saturday and which Is the returning board that makes the official count and declaration as to who s the nominee.
 It was promptly announced that four members of tho district committee would make minority report Saturday and ap- peal to tho Democrats. This meant that Owens and Brcckinridge would both be candidates and fight To n finish In Novem- bor. Meantime tho Republicans who hold their convention hero Sept. 26, bo- gan to regard their unnamed nominee as the favorite, and there was much excite mcnt.
 The tide was turned in the afternoon. when B. J Welsh, tho committeeman from Brecklnridgc home and one of his strongest supporters, announced that he would never vote to go behind the returns when tho committee met at Frankfort. As this would leave the committee a tie, or five to five, in any event, and as other Breckinridge men on the district commit tee who had stood by him to the last were 1 not disposed to go behind the returns. the old guard of the silver tongued orator gave up the struggle. They will not, how, ever. concede the plurality of 526, which the Owens men claim from complete re- turns. It is not likely that there will be any moro agitation. Colonel Breckinridge | will servo till next March.
