Election Cases.

FRANKFoRT, Ky, Jan. 13.-Sinee the
nomination of Senator blackburn by
the Democratic caucus, and of Con-
gresham Godfrey Hunter by the Re-
publican caucus, there is a bitter
political fight for election as Senator.
The law provides for balloting the
second Tuesday after the assembling
of the legislature Blackburn's friends
say there will De no joint ballot until
Tuesday, January p, and flibustering
will prevent it. The special election
for Wilson's successor will be January
20. The Blackburn men will have the
new Democratic member here Tues
day, January 81. They insist that no
ballot will be taken till he qualities.
Meanwhile, all interest centers in
the committee considering the con-
tests for the seats of kaufman and
Tompl1ins both Democrats. The atti-
tude of the two Populists is still
watched Without the PopuliSts. and
with Wilson's place filled, there is a
tie between the Republicans and Dem
ocrats. The committee on elections
was selected by lot. Whatever may
be the finding of the committee. the
fight will be on the adoption of the

are unseated, Hunter will have no
further trouble. but indications are
that there will be a long struggle.
Blackburn men have decided aud an
any attempt to consider the report on
contested seats previous to Wilson's
successor being seated. There is no
doubt about a free silver Democrat
being elected in Wilson's place from
Nelson county.

State of New York Has Acquired the Title
It-Kate Field Pleased.
NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-One of Kate
Fields fondest hopes was realized when
this state acquired title to the old John
Brown homestead in Essex nounty, with
the explicit proviso that it shall remain
public park in memory of the martyr to
liberty. The property consists of 244
acres.
About quarter of an acre enclosed as
q burial place and containing John
Brawn's grave, was not included in the
transfer by the widow, but is part of the
gift to the state and will be marked by
an appropriate monument. It is said
that the legislature will make an appro-
pristion to develop the land and pre-
serve the old homestead, If the land is
ever used for any other purpose it will
revert to the Kate Field syndicate.
Gov. Morton is Understood to be in
sympathy with the movement.
