tions were held in every county in Ken
lucky yesterday to select delegates to the
Democratic state convention, which meets
in this city on June % to nominate full
state ticket. The political situation in
Kentucky just now is attracting universal
attention on account of the wide split in
the party over the financial platform.
Senator Blackburn is leading the silver
faction, together with Hon. p. Wat Har-
ding, ex-attorney general, now candi.
date for governor. Cassius Marcellus
Clay, Jr, is the opposing candidate for
governor. He has steadfastly refused to
make any declaration on tho financial
question. The battle for Sound money"
is not won, nor can the free silver leaders
rest upon. their oars.
Although returns have been received

problem is still unsolved. In the race for
nominat alton for governor In Louisville and
jefferson county Clay gained control Of
the party machinery, and a solid Clay del
egation was selected. He also carried the
cities of Lexington, Paris, Maysville. and
Elizabethtown. General Harding found
most Of his strength in the country. More
uninstructcd delegations will como to this
convention than ever before in the history
Of Kentucky politics. There are 119 coun
ties, having SIS votes, 40 being necessary
to o choice.
