TO-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS
The Kentucky Legislature.

FRANKFORT, KY, March l3.-There
was considerable excitement here this
morning. Wood Dunlap, who was de-
clared entitled to Kaufman's seat, ar
rived from Lexington and it was said
he would qualify. One report had it
that he had already taken the oath.
There was also considerable talk OF au
extra session being called as soon as
the legislature adjourned Tuesday.
Owing to complains about the pres
ence of the Capitol policemen from Lex
ington, Sheriff, Armstrong decided after
consultation with the governor to
summon posse to preserve the peace
and allow the police to be withdrawn.
1t is said that the posse will be COM
posed of members of local military
company.
At ills o'clock the sheriff arrived
at the Capitol with eight deputies.
The rotunda was cleared at 1l:2O
o'clock. Expelled Senator'S Walton
and James were in the House.
When the sheriff and his deputies,
acting on the governors orders, went
to clear the Senate cloak room they
found Senator Blackburn there with a
crowd. The sheriff told the Senator he
could not stay, but the latter replied
that the sheriff had no authority over
him or any one else.
Senator Bronston, hearing OF the 1n-
cident, offered q resolution that the
sheriff and his deputies be excluded
from the Senate chamber. The mayor
also ordered the sheriff out The sher-
if was then summoned before the Sen
ate. Mr.. Bronston's speech in support
of his motion was bitter denunciatlon
of the governor. The sheriff then lett
the chamber, saying he would go out
and get written authority from the
governor. who alone was his superior
as an executive officer. While he was
gone the Bronston measure was refer
red to the committee on rules.
The Senators then left the chamber for the
House to take part in the Joint session which
was soon called to order By the lieutenant
governor. Dunlap had no. appeared to
qualify and Walton and James occupied seats
ON the republican side. The roll call showed
129. The republicans did not vote during
the beginning OF tie roll call and it was plain
that Dunlap had declined to qualify. While
the roll call was in progress the sheriff re-
turned with written request from the gov
ernor that he. the sheriff, use his influence as
peace officer to preserve the peace. He aud
his deputies remained in the rotunda. The
ballot re.ulted: Blackburn. so; Carlisle, IL :;
Buckner, 1. No republicans voted. The
joint session then adjourned.
When the Senate resumed business the
governors note to the sheriff was read, after
which Mr.. Bronston withdrew the remarks
he had made about the executive.

FRIDAY EVENING, NAB. 10, 1896.

THE REPUBLICANS of Louisiana are
now squabbling among themselves,
each of the Reed and Mckinley fac
tons, into which they are divided,
charging the other with having re-
ceived money with which to buy dele
gates to the national republican con-
yantion for their respective favori'es,
As money will buy not only the nomi'
nation but the election of the next
President, why there should be any
particular fuss about the comparatively
small amount already expended by the
republicans on Louisiana delegates Is
not apparent.

CONGRESS has killed the anti-optioD
bill, as it should have done, for the
farmer has as much right to sell his
crop in the ground as in the barn,
though there is no doubt that selling
unharvested crops is gambling, just as
much as selling possible prizes in lot
teries. But Congress passed the anti
lottery bill.

W. n. H. Dufur Believes Mitchell Is
the Peoples Choice.
DuFuR. May 10. 1896.

Editor Chronicle, The DGEles, Or.
DEAR SIR In the daily Oregonian of
May 9TH there appears an article charg-
ing me with having met Hon. o. N.
Denny OF Portland, apparently
by appointment on Friday, May
1st. This information was given,
so the Oregonian states, by a we'll
known citizen of Wasco county. The
article then goes on to state that ''the
following day meeting was held at
Dufur IN which my brother, E. B. Du
fur, the Democratic nominee for joint
senator of Wasco, Sherman and Gillian
counties, addressed the citizens of
Dufur and pledged himself and his col
leagues, if elected. for Hon. John H.
Mitchell for United States senator" 1t
further states that was at this meeting
speech and that l took up the Mitchell
and other propositions and said that
my kind of Repu blicans were endorsing
the position taken by my brother on
these questions.
Now, Mr.. Editor, if you will allow me
space in your columns, will attempt to
answer these base and false charges
made by the well-known city of Wasco
and the better known brainy
editor of the Oregonian. In the first
place, am not, as is well known in
Wasco, politician or political boss, but
simply follow farming for living, and
am what might be termed lone of those
- ha l,a6 -,
feeding that capacious NAV of that long,
lank COW of Ben Tillman's." Now, as
to the meeting of Hon. o. N. Denny and
myself, there were no arrangements
whatever. As is known to most of you.
I come to The Dalles every Friday to de-
liver my butter and cheese 30 my GUS
toners and attend to other necessary
business. On that Friday I had some
business at the First National bank, and
as came out Mr.. Denny and some
other gentlemen stood there talking.
Recognizing me, we shook hands, passed
the time of day, and went on about
my business, Judge Denny attending to
tent of doing so without any assistance
of the editor of the Oregonian or the
twell-known citizen of Wasco county,
/ afterward met Mr.. Denny at the UNA
tilla House as he came from his dinner,
and as was going to mine, walked up
the street short distance with him,
conversing on different subjects. Ifthe
editor of the Oregonian will interview
the judge perhaps he will be kind
enough to tell him what our conversa-
tion was, seeing it worries the brain of
Harvey w. so much.
Now as to that meeting at Dufur. My
brother was billed to speak there some
thing like week before hand, and as 1
am in the habit of listening to both
sides of the question and trying to learn
all I can (for an but common farmer
you know attended the meeting, ar
riying very late, Mr.. Armsworthy hav-
