After adjourning the first days session
al midnight the convention was to-day in
continuous session from 10 a. m. until
p. IN. without refreshments and then took
a recess for supper till p. m. The dele
gates had absorbed several hundred
speeches and voted more than all previous
Republican delegates in Kentucky had vot-
ed during the present generation. The
Democratic State convention meets here
June 25 and whether the Carls.eites for
sound money or the Black5urnites for
free silver prevail, the Republicans think
their old dominant opponents will be so di-
v:ded as to give to-day's nominees a fight
ing chance.
The senatorship was an important factor
at this convention, j. w. Yerkes, A. Z.
Wilson, John w. Lewis, George Denny and
Waiter Evans being the Republican as
pirants for Senator Backburns pace. In
his own party Senator Blackburn has ex-
Governor Buchner, Ex-Governor Nc
Creary and Governor Brown as his oppo-
nents. Colonel Bradley is not in the sena-
n~i i,l hflf IA np fl ed in
this Democratic stronghold in November his
name will be presented next year for the
tucxy was close last November, the Re
pubhcans claim better prospects this year.
= hey say the Democracy of the State is so
divided or the silver question as to give
the Republicans an opportunity. The Re
money platform and feel that they will
lose very few silveriteS. Senator Black
burn is making an aggressive canvass on
the unlimited coinage issue. Governor
Brown is also for silver. while Buckner and
McCreary are opposed 10 free silver.
Whatever may be the conditions the
outcome, there were almost one hun
dred avowed candidates for the Repub-
were so intense that order could not al
ways be maintained. When the convention
took a recess from to p. M. there were
two nominations still TO be made, hut
recess necessiatated by the inability
of Chairman Evans 20 proceed in the noisy
confusion. AS the. State law prohibits the
a distinguishing mark On the Australian
ballot the convention adopted Daniel
Boone's log cabin as the Republican de-
vice instead of the eagle.
During the latter part Of the afternoon ses-
sion the proceedings were obstructed by dis
order, but at the session tonight the con-
fusion was still greater. Four hours were
consumed in boisterous balloting for Regis
ter of Public Lands, an Office worth 5000
with assessments. ETC., to be deducted
There were ten names presented, and un-
der the rule the lowest on each ballot was
dropped. Nominations could not be made
until all were thus dropped. except the last
two. Promptly on reassembling at ID. rn
balloting began for Register Of Lands and
it was midnight when Charles 0. Reynolds
was nominated.
After keeping up the fighting to the bal
lotting for the last nomination, that of
Commissioner of Agriculture, for which
Lucas Moore was nominated. the conven-
ton, after i a. m, finally adjourned. The
delegates had become both hoarse and
weary. but still there were demonstrations
at the early morning conclusion that
marked an enthusiastic jollification.
