THE KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE.

Its Session Replcte with Sensational In.
cident Comes to an End.
Frankfort, KY, March 1s.-The strug:
gle for United States senator from Ken,
lucky, which has just closed, will go
Fdown into history as the most remark,
able contest ever waged in any state
in the union. The contest really bo-
gan and was waged at the same time
the campaign for state officers was be-
ing conducted. Although there were
numerous candidates for the nomina-
tion by each party caucus, no one had
any show from the start except DR..
Godfrey G. Hunter for the republican
nomination and Senator Blackburn for
the democratic.
The two houses were evenly divided
on joint ballot, the republicans having
majority of six in the house of rep
resentatives and the democrats con-
trolling the senate by the same ma
jority. From the beginning of the ses-
sion it was evident that acrimony and
bitterness would govern each body:
and to those who knew the disposition
and quick temper of Kentuckians the
gravest results were feared. From the
first ballot to the last this remarkable
contest has held the interest of the ell
tire country. Replete from start to fin
ish with sensational incidents;.the final
act in this great political drama was
n fitting denouement. And the spec
tacle of legislative body of great
commonwealth being guarded under
martial law by the state troops will
60 down to posterity us a lasting stain
upon Kentucky's escutcheon.
The entire session has been a bungle-
some and stupendous failure. Primarily
the chief business of the body, the pro-
vision of proper means and the enact
1nent of just laws for the conduct and
administration of government, has been
neglected and cast aside. And, lastly,
the election of u representative of the
state in the highest body in the land has
failed of accomplishment. The lament
able feature of Tuesdays procedure
was the failure to pass the revenue bills.
Ten minutes would have sutliced to re-
vide for coming contingencies. But
every effort was defeated.
The urgent necessity for the passage
of the revenue bills may be gained from
the fact that the present Indebtedness
OF kentucky is $s60,OOO and the calcr-
lated Indebtedness by next June ST.
100000. Her judges. sheritfs, con-
tractors, her eleemosynary institu-
tions, her many employees will be de-
prived of their just dues, for the banks
throughout the state now refuse to
cash Warrants One of two thinrS iS
inevitable-either an extra session of
the legislature must be convened or the
state credit will be seriously impaired.

One Of Calgary's recent contingent to
