THE KENTUCKY CONTEST.

The senatorial contest in Kentucky,
says the Spokesman-R Review bids fair to
become as memorable as the famous
contest in Illinois which resulted in the
election of General John A. Logan twelve
years ago. In the Kentucky struggle
between Blackburn and Hunter sixty
nine votes are necessary to a choice.
The ballot yesterday showed sixty seven
for Hunter (Rep.) to ffty-eight for
Blackburn (Dem.), IL scattering.
In the contest above alluded to the
legislature of Illinois was tie on joint
ballot, there being 1O2 Republicans and
102 Democrats. This made an election
on party lines impossible unless death
or treachery intervened to change the
situation. John A. Logan was the only
Republican candidate. William r. Nor
rison, now chairman OF the interstate
commerce commission, was the Demo-
cratic candidate until toward the close
of the contest when the name of Judge
Lambert Tree, now minister to Russia,
was substituted. The first incident
which served to break the monotonous
routine of a daily ballot was in the
death of Democratic senator, who had
become demented short time before
his death, but was permitted to vote up
to his last hour. Next a Republican
member of the house, relative of Lo-
gan, fell dead while ascending the stair
way to the joint assembly. His sue
cesser was a Republican. Following
this a Democratic representative died
suddenly. His district had always been
Overwhelmingly Democratic. By a
skillfully managed campaign, known as
ga still hunt" the Republicans elected
their candidate, which broke the dead
lock OF three months duration and gave
the Republicans 1O3 to the Democrats
101, and Logan was elected.
In Kentucky the situation is almost
Identical. The Democrats have sixty
eight and the Republicans have sixty
eight. In addition to these there are
two Populists. One will vote with the
Republicans and the other with the
Democrats. Already one Democrat has
died. He will be succeeded by another,
without doubt. This will restore the
status, provided a national senator is
not elected before the special election is
held. The law requires daily ballot tc
+ be taken in the joint assembly until g
senator is elected. To prevent al elec.
tion of senator until the successor of the
dead member of the house is seated the
Democrats are compelled to refrain from
voting in joint assembly, as the Repub
licans can not muster the necessary ma
jority. In the case of electing United
States senator, those present who refuse
to vote can not be counted to make 6
quorum, ss the law governing the elec
tion of United States senators expressly
says: ga majority of all the members
elected to both houses being present anC
voting," In this case the Reed rules dt
not apply. The outcome of this contes
is waited with deep interest.

Soldier Thinks He VIII Turn the

Caleb Brown, a veteran of the late war,
who believes Mckinley and Hobart are go
ing to be elected, has just finished a long
tramp on a novel wager.
Brown is sixty-one years OF age, and
is las hearty as a buck as he expresses
it, notwith standing his years and the fact
that lie was singed by the fires of fifteen
battles, while q member of the Sixty
seventh Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry.
His home is in Bedford county, Pa, and
among his neighbors is an enthusiastic ad-
herent of Bryan and silver. Several days
ago Brown and the Democrat made the odd
wager that the old Soldier was to walk to
Washington, a distance OF several hundred
miles. This he did. and he is now TO re-
main here until the result is declared.
should Mckinley be elected, the Demo
crat is to come to this city, pay Brown $
fare home ON the railroad, give him a sum
of money and tn en- walk back to Bedford
county himself, carrying the veterans

'svote for no man for United States
senator who is not Republican.
Whether or not Mr.. Huntington
made this statement at Wasco, we
are not certain; but he certainly did
at other places, and we honor him
for it. Mr.. Huntington is a candi-
date for the legislature upon the
Republican ticket, and it is safe to
assume he is a believer in Repubi-
can principles. If so, how could he
possibly, as long as a glimmer of
conscience remained to him, vote for
a Democrat for United States sena-
tor? If Mr.. Huntington is elected to
the legislature it will be because of
his personal worth and the added
consideration that he will vote for
"a Republican for United States
senator.
Mr.. Huntington has many warm
friends who are enthusiastic in his
support, but if it were deemed pos
sible, which it is not, that he would
vote for a Democrat for United
States senator. those friends could
not support him.
Let it be understood, and une.
quivocally so, that not only Mr.
Huntington, but Mr.. Michel, Mr.
Moore and Mr.. Jones, will work and
vote for a Republican for Unitcd
States senator, and in case dead
lock ensues, they will refuse to vote
