BRADLEY SLATE SMASHED.
One Mckinley Delegate Chosen by
the Kentucky Convention

One Mckinley Delegate Chosen by
the Kentucky Convention.
LOUISVILLE, April 16.-The Bradley slate
was considerably damaged in the contest for
delegates at large in todays Republican con-
vention. A. R. Durham, who has been
pronounced Mckinley man, was chosen
delegate by the second highest vote received
by any candidate. The other three delegates
are Bradley men. The governor secured the
Endorsement of his presidential candidacy
but his satisfaction at this triumph cannot
unalloyed, for the instructions are coupled
with the provision that when his name shall
be withdrawn, the vote of the state shall go
to the Ohio champion of protection. The
Mckinley men could hardly have asked more.
The hottest fight of the convention occurred
after three delegates had been chosen, on the
question of negro representation on the dele
cation at large but it was ended in the
colored brothers. favor before the vote was
half through.
AT $50 this morning, the chairman called
the convention to order, and announced that
the first business was the report of the COM
mittee on resolutions. The committee was
not then ready and nominating speeches
were ordered. The -four delegates at large
were then chosen A.. R. Durham Richmond,
one of the original Mckinley men; Col. Lewis
P. Tarlteton, of Lexington, one of Gov.
| Bradley's right hand men, and Senator w.
]. Deboa, also a Bradley supporter, received
majority on the first ballot, and were de-
clared elected delegates. On the election OF
the fourth man the most exciting incident OF
the convention occurred. A proposition was
made to suspend the rules and elect by ac-
clamation Rev. S. E. Smith, colored, who has
made an active campaign in the Bradley in
terest. Before the chairman had fully an
nounced the question: there was a chorus
of ayes, but it was succeeded by equally as
noisy a demonstration in opposition. Hall
the convention wasf5on its feet yelling and
demanding recognition, while in various parts
of the hall there were excited colloquies be-
| tween white and black delegates, the incident
resulting in considerable ill humor. The
unanimous election .efeSmith was prevented
however, and another. ballot was necessary

WANTS TO SETTLE RIGHT OFF.

Serious Results Unless He
Heads Off Action.

''Now that McCardy is going to audit the
pay rolls the policemen doubtless are all
happy" said a Globe reporter to Clerk
Morton at the central police station yesterday
afternoon.
Yes replied Mr.. Morton, "every one is
feeling happy, but is it not wonderful what a
warm interest McCardy is suddenly taking
in the effort to have the policemen get their
pay, which he has been holding back for the
last three months? I don't suppose you know
why McCardy is so anxious to have the police
men draw their pay just now, but I'll put
you on McCardy, you know, is cold and
heartless, but you can bet when it comes to
boosting McCardy he is alive to the issue
every time.
zone hundred and fifty members of the
police department sued the city for their sal
aries for January and February. Judge
Kelly, who tried the cases in the district
court, gave judgment in each case, with costs
and interest. The total amount for which the
city is liable, under the decision of Judge
Kelly, is, in round numbers, $25, 900. The
amount necessary to satisfy the judgments, if
they are entered, will amount to about 81, ,OOO
additional.
''The city has judgment fund, and pro-
vision is made each year in the tax budget
for this fund. AS the tax estimate for 1896
has already been made up an amount neces-
sary to pay the judgments secured by the
policemen cannot be placed in the judgment
fund until January. 1897. The interest on
$27 900 for year at per cent would amount
to about $4,000.
'It Is to head off any such action as out
lined above that McCardy is anxious to settle
at once with the policemen, and not because
he has any desire to see them get their pay.
McCardy recognizes that with his salary OF
So, 500, plus the $4,000 his action in the Como
avenue bridge cost the city, the people might
think he is a rather expensive luxury. So
for fear the $4,000 interest will have to be
paid on the police judgments, he is willing
to settle and settle at once"

MINNEAPOLIS MILLERS.
Messrs. BOvey and Crosby on Their
Grievance I'm New York,

NEW YORK, April 16.-Charles G. Bovey
and John Crosby, of Minneapolis, representing
the National Millers' association, are in the
city. They say flour importers Of London are
greatly exercised over what they hold to be q
discrimination against American flour. Flour
from America enters London docks, and is
subjected to a landing charge of IS cents per
ton. French -four and American wheat es-
cape this charge. Furthermore, the dock
companies, it is stated, propose now to in
crease the tax of landing materially. With
these facts in view Messrs Bovey and Crosby
have been in Washington where they have
represented to a subcommittee of the house
ways and means committee that the American
flour product is subjected to charges in con-
troversion of English law, and which they
have urged may be abated through retaliatory
legislation here.

At this point Mr.. Hill exploded distinct
sensation. He said the prevalence of the
charges of wrong was shown by the public
allegations of Senator Chandler, that the
friends of Mr.. Mckinley were conducting
"a Doodle campaign Mr.. Hill said he had
nothing to say against Mckinley. He ad-
mired him for his courage. He says he is

Ing an honorable canvass" proceeded Mr..
Hill, until l read the Chandler statement"
The Chandler charges were sent to the desk
and read in full Mr.. Chandler sat on the
Republican side smiling as the reading pro-
ceeded. After the reading had been con-
cluded, Mr.. Hill went on. These charges had
not been met, he said. No answer had been
submitted to the serious accusations of Mr..
Chandler. Reflections on his motives were no
answer to the charges. why" asked Mr..
Hill, was there no investigation? Here are
charges of corrupt money to buy up presi-
Dental nomination." exclaimed Mr.. Hill.
Here are charges of levy on the protected
interests to secure platform in accordance
with their desires. But no senator-not even
the senator from Kansas-asks for an inves-
tigation. Here is an offense against the fran
chise, a stab at our institutions. 1t is
charged that $25O,00O has been raised to Sc
cure the nomination for the presidency, and
yet no investigation is proposed. Let the
Chandler charges be investigated. Let us do
it now before the heat of the presidential
campaign comes on
Mr.. Hill next passed to the sugar investi-
cation and ridiculed its results. One senator
had the courage to say to the investigation
committee, "Yes, he had dealt in sugar."
"Did it hurt him ?'asked Mr. Hill. mo;
today he is the candidate and favorite son of
the leading Republican state of the Union for
the presidency, with a host of friends and
supporters
After ridiculing the fruitless investigation,
Mr.. Hill at O'Clock said he would yield, ex-
pecting to go on tomorrow.

of serving IL with a mayonnaise sauce

lily with bad paints. But that is not
done in Venezuela.

are no means for keeping them, ex-

supply is always limited and rather
unsatisfactory. Shellfish do not appear
