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.
