from the Republican headquarters:
Practically somplete official re-

Kentucky, unozsial sdrisss indra.
ting Ast VIE four missing counties
will inerssss rather tAsa decrease
these agurss. The Republicans elect
four members OF Congress aud q
Judge OF the highest court OF the
State for an sighs-year term, and by
ths filing OF vacancies have secured

Blackburn.
"The total vote in the State will ap
proIimste 425, 900, an increase OF TO-
600 over last years vote, and 25,00C
more than the highest estimates be
fore the election. The Republican
vote increased about 10000 over Gov
Bradley's vote year ago, which was
1900 higher than ever before cast in
Presidential election, and the Dem

These figures will give some idea Of

Sizing Up the Platform.

Chicago, July 3.-Notwithstandin
the convention is several days off, there
are almost continuous conferences
among those who expect to be called
upon to make the platform when it is
made. They consist largely Of the free
silver leaders who are located at the
Sherman House. Their plans all look
to preparing q document which, while
il will cover various other questions of
Democratic faith, will give the place of
prominence to the financial declaration
1t is indeed ncw expected that the plat
form will be Il silver pronunciamento,
setting forth the free coinage doctrine
in the form of "A ringing address which
will appeal to the support of all silver
advocates of whatever party. The gist
of the plank will, however, be an une-
quivocal declaration for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of l6 to /, without awaiting the action
of any other nation.
The tariff plank is really giving the
silver majority more concern than the
financial declaration. They consider
this very delicate matter. The silver
question is recognized by all as the par
amount issue, but tho Democracy has
been so persistent in its declarations on
the tariff and the Republicans made it
80 prominent in their platform that
they realize the impossibility of ignor.
ing it. This they would gladly do if
they could for this one time, because Of
the effect that declaration leaning too
pronouncedly toward free trade would
have upon the Republican silver men
and Populists whose votes they hope to
secure with free silver candidate.

Good Engineer.

We take occasion to chronicle
the fact that Logan has just COM
pleted good system of sewerage,
and the perfect system is much due
to the efficient work Of Engineer
A. V. Crawford. We overheard
Contractor Beery say that if he
wanted a job well done for himself
he would secure the service of Mr..
Crawford for engineer, and that
many deficiency would have
been left by him as cont ractor if
he had not been compelled by Mr..
Crawford to do the work strictly
right, and although it was perpleX-
ing sometimes, yet he honored
MIR. Crawford for his perfect hon
esty TO serve the people of Logan
who had placed confidence in him.
Mr.. Berry said, 1--WE built a good
system of sewers because we had
to per force Of your untiring en-
gineer." We congratulate our
town Of being so fortunate in
securing the service of Mr.. Craw-
ford, one of our townsmen, to the
end that we were not robbed by
foreign contractor.

CHICAGO, July 3.-There was strong

GOLD STANDARD MEM
Awaiting the Arrival of the Eastern
Contingent.
TROUBLE Is ANTICIPATED
Over the Selection of Temporary Chair
man-Tho Mon Who Expect to Frame
tho Platform Are Worrying
Over the Tariff Plank.

CHICAGO, July 3.-With the exception
Of the active work of the local gold
standard men, the movement in thnt
direction lies dormant, and will remain
in that condition until the arrival of the
eastern gold standard men. Chairman
Harrity has refused to be very active in
| the cause until the arrival of his eastern
confcrccs, because, as the head of the
national committee, he will in n measure
have to aid in deciding what is now the
knotty point between the gold standard
and tho silven men, the selection of a
temporary chairman. On this matter
there seems to be division even among
the silver men.
Senator blackburn. an active silver
man and presidential candidate, while
proclaiming against any gold standard
man welding the gavel at the conven-
tion, tempers his remarks with the
statement that he is equally opposed to
any gag law or the rushing of the con-
vention by those in control. He said:
''The men who are coming to fight for
gold are good Democrats and as such
are entitled TO Il hearing before the con-
vention. e Republican party gave
respectful earring to the silver men
even though they knew that their party
was to be disrupted, and there is no
reason why wo should not do the same"
On the other hand, there are those
who urge that tho previous question
should be moved on all motions, and
that the gold standard advocates should
not be allowed to state their views.
Chairman Harrity, who will call the
convention to order refuses to say
whether he will rule that speeches are
in order or hot prior to the election of
temporary chairman. At that time no
rules will have been adopted for the
government of the convention, the con-
gressional rules having to be adopted by
resolution.
The silver men, who are opposed to
Senator Hill or any other gold standard
man, say they will move the adoption of
the rules prior TO the selecting of n
chairman, but Mr.. Harrity says that his
only business is to call the convention
together and then name the national
committees choice for temporary chair
man. If the name mentioned is one
that meets with the disapproval of the
silver men they will move n substitute
and then move the previous question.
All then depends upon whether the
chairman of the national committee will
recognize this call for the previous ques.
tion in the absence of rules. If he re-
fuses, and the gold standard men are
allowed to talk, then there will doubt
loss be an exciting scene. The eastern
ers have among them several skilled
parliamentarans, and there are also
some clever men among the southern
and western delegates. The rank and |
file of the silver men are almost rabid |
in their eagerness to control and there
may be great trouble.

without an effort, await the approach of

were swung and lunch was over

CHICAGO, July 3.-It has been deter
mined, SO far as such matter can be in
advance Of the meeting of the national
committee, that the committee will
select for temporary chairman some man
who is not identified with the silver
movement, although he may have lean
ings toward silver. 1t is apparent from
the talk of the members of the commit
tee who are here that they do not like
the terms which the silver men laid
down for tie subcommittee, and they
feel that the national committee should
not be dictated to in this matter by some
outside organization.
