BRECKENRIDGE GIVES UP.
The District Committee VIII Not Go
Behind the Returns.

Everything was quiet at Lexington KY,
last night. the nomination of William G..
Owens for Congress to succeed Col Breck-
inridge being conceded, but 1t was a most
exciting day. The friends of Mr.. Owens
were alarmed at the activity of the agents
Of Col. Breckenridge in collecting evidence
throughout the district preparatory to a
contest before the democratic congressional
committee. which will meet at Frankfort
on Saturday to count the vote and declare
who is the nominee. This committee was
understood to stand six for Breckinridge
and four against him.
1t was promptly announced that four
members of the committee would make a
minority report Saturday and appeal to the
democrats This meant that Mr.. Owens and
Col. Breckenridge would be candidates and
fight to finish in November
In the meantime the republicans, who hold
their convention at Lexington September
70. began to regard their unnamed nominee
as the favorite, and there was much ex-
ctement.
The tide was turned in the afternoon
when B. j. Welsh, the committeeman from
Col Breckinridge's home. and one of his
strongest supporters announced that he
would never vote to go behind the returns
when the committee met at Frankfort.
AS this would leave the committee a tie
or nVe TO hVe in any event, and as other
breckenridge men on the committee who
stood by him to the last were not disposed
Breckinridge gave up the struggle. They
Will not, however. concede the plurality of
526 which the friends of Mr.. Owens claim
ed last night from complete returns.
Among Col Breckinridge's strongest
friends are the nominees on the county
ticket and they, as well as other county
candidates, were not disposed to hazard
their interests by assisting in throwing out
any of the owens precincts at Frankfort
next Saturday.
1t is not likely that there will be any more
agitation. Col. breckenridge will serve I'M
til next March.
The Ohicial Vote.
The official vote in the Ashland district
gives Owens 337 plurality over Breckenridge.
Desha Breckenridge and several of his
friends went before the county committee
and made a protest against every precinct
In the county. The committee refused to
accept or consider the protest. Young
Breckenridge gave no reason on which to
base his action.

SUGAR PLANTERS BOLT.
Louisiana Democrats Go Over to the
Republicans.

Republicans.
The sugar planters convention at New
Orleans yesterday was a large and enthusi-
astic assemblage. There were present not
only the leading planters of Louisiana, but
some Of the most representative men Of
New Orleans
The convention went over to the national
republican party in a body. Mr.. e. n.
Pugh called the meeting to order and ex-
Naval Officer kernochan was made tenn
pCrary Chairman, and ex-Mayor Behan per-
manent chairman of the organization, all
three Of the gentlemen having been hereto
fore prominent democrats.
The resolutions indorse the platform of
the meeting in New Orleans; express belief
in the doctrine of protection to all Ameri-
can industries: declare that the people had
never asked Congress for a bounty, but that
when the bounty law was passed ii was re-
garded as pledge for fifteen years and
caused the mortgaging of plantations and
expenditure of immense sums of money in
the purchase of modern machinery and in
making elaborate improvements for the
manufacture of sugar; urge the organiza-
ton Of club committees and conventions
throughout the state with a view to elect
Ing members of Congress who will stand by
the national republican party in the organi-
zation of the House, and finally declaring
that the causes which have led to the inau-
guration of this movement are of a financial
and industrial nature. and that the charac-
ter and standing Of its leaders is a sufficient
guar antee that that party will ever adyo-
cate good government for the whole people
of the state.
The president is directed to appoint a
committee of thirty-flve. with the full pow
ers OF the convention, to be known as the
state committee Of the national republican
party.

The New Election Law.

The populists claim that the new Au-
stralian ballot law which was adopted by
the recent session Of the legislature and
which will be given it's first thorough test
this fall, is no better. If as good. as the
old Anderson Mccormick law. They claim
that whereas the old law allowed fraud
to go on without any hope of detection the
present one legalizes fraud, and that the
democrats will avail themselves OF this
golden opportunity. There is marked dis
satisfaction among the populists in Vir-
ginia over the present election law.
They say that honest elections in Viz
giria are a thing of the past, and are look
ing to a populist majority in the EeXt legis-
