BLACkBuRN's CRISIS.
Kentucky Legislature About to Select His
Successor-The Aspirants for His Seat.

Lexington, KY, January Interest
In Kentucky has again turned to Frank
fort, the capital of the state. Monday the
legislature will meet, and Tuesday an
effort will be made to elect successor to
j. G. S. Blackburn in the United States
Senate. The recent landslide has made
the legislature SO nearly equally divided
that both the Republicans and the Demo
Gratis claim they will elect their man. II
a Democrat be elected, Blackburn will
succeed himself as Senator, but If a He
publican be elected it may be Mr.. Godfrey
Hunter Of Louisville, G. e. Wilson of
Louisville, or possibly George Denny,
Jr., who is now contesting the Ashland
District seat in Congress, held by W. G.
Owens.
Hunter seems still to have the lead,
since Gov. Bradley today announced to
his friends that he would not consider
the idea OF running for the Senate.
Blackburn and MoCreary, the foremost
Democratic candidates, are on the ground
as are also the Republican candidates,
Wilson, Hunter, Denny and Evans. The
republicans will hold their caucus Mon
day, while the Democrats will make
their selection Monday night.
1t is the plan of the Democrats to pre-
vent an election should they find they
are unable to win. Two legislators are
sick, and will hardly be able to attend,
but, since one is Republican and the
other Democrat, this will not help
matters any.

ADDRESS To BRYAN.
From the Organized Labor Bryan

The following is a copy Of tire address
presented to Mr.. Bryan with the silver
penholder presented at the Auditorium
meeting by Louis Nash representing
the Bryan-Lind club:
To Hon. William J. Bryan Greeting: In
behalf of the members Of THE Organized La
Dor Bryan-Lind club of st. Paul. who have
rendered me the honor of presenting their
congratulations and good wishes to you upon
this occasion, allow me, without any attempt
at fattery, to contrast your own manly ac-
tons and utterances upon the great issues of
this campaign with those of your opponent
who, in a speech at Toledo, o., on Feb. L.
1891 said: During all Of Grover Cleveland 8
years at the head of the government he was
dishonoring one Of our precious metals one
of great products, degrading silver and
raising the price OF gold. He endeavored
even before his Inauguration to office to stop
the coinage of silver dollars, and afterward
and to the end of his administration, per-
sistently used his power to that end. He was
determined to contract the circulating med
ium and to demonetize one Of the coins OF
commerce, limit the volume of money among
the people make money scarce, and there
FORE dear. He would decrease the value of
money and diminish the value of everything
else"

EFFECT OF THE VISIT.
Division of Opinion as to What 1t
Will Be-

Mr. Bryan's arrival and the demon
| stratiOn in his honor had the result
of stirring up the city politically with
| something like general interest for the
| first time this fall. Republicans as
well as Democrats turned out to hear
the boy orator, and there were two
| opinions as to the effect of his visit.
The Republicans naturally claimed
that Mr.. Bryan nor any other man
| could be their undoing in the coming
fight No-sir-ree, the party Is too
| strongly intrenched sir, for any man
| to defeat Clough." But the Demo-
Gratis. on the contrary, were highly
the Bryan following, and declared that
| he had made hundreds of voters of
| those who have been wavering.
Watson Squires, senator from Wash
ington, dropped into the city last night.
AS he Is Republican and a free coin
| age man as well, it goes without say
| ing that he is a Bryanite of the deep
est dye. Mr.. Squires Is quite confident
| that Bryan will carry the state Of
Washington and that Minnesota voters

who was in the city comforting with

tee and getting the sort of news the

was of the opinion that Mr.. Bryan Is
tricky as an orator and might capture
a few wavering voters but that his in
fuence with thinking people would not
| be sufficient to overturn Republican
domination in Minnesota. Mr.. Well
man has already told his paper that
Mckinley will carry the state, but he
does not place the plurality at altitude

not think with the Republican state
central committee that Gov. CIough
will be reelected. IF I am correct in
my estimate he said. ''Mr. Lind will
be the next governor of your state
There Is every indication that he will
be elected IL the figures that have been

asnunciatory paragraphs against yourself and
this audience may Judge for themselves of
the pusillanimous efforts Of Mr.. Mckinley to
ingratiate himself with the workingmen.
whose votes at this time he 80 much desires
let me quote from a speech delivered a few
days ago from the porch Of his house at Can
ton.
I'VE want to continue the use Of the good
dollars we have had since 1872 We want no
clipped coins in the United States. We want
no debased dollars any more than we want
deeaSed labor And when men have given
full days work to an American employer
we want that American employer To pay
In dollars just as good as any dollars any
where In the world and worth one hundred
cents every day and everywhere. Why not
pay their workmen in American dollars?
We honestly believe that Mr.. Mckinley
would have accepted the Republican nemina-
ton had its platform declared for the re-
his manhood in the least. which cannot Be
said OF him under the existing circumstances
Your war upon trusts contrasts strangely
and at this time, when our worknen and
their wives and little ones are freezing for
want Of fuel, owing to the cruel exacuons Of
the ooad combine. while hundreds Of miners
and their dependents starve for want Of food,
your sentiments re-echo those Of thousands
who are suffering through this relentless
combination.
We believe the time has arrived when
American manhood will assert ITSELF and
hence we endorse your views against gov
eminent by injunction"
While admitting the right Of capital we
believe with Webster, that labor deserves
much the higher consideration" for once
labor receives an equitable share of the
wealth It produces, strikes, beycotts and
riots will become thing Of the past.
We believe that the perpetuation of our
present financial policy would mean the ag-
gravation Of the evils which we are now
suffering, realizing that an ever-contracting
currency and that on debit basis means
continuation Of failing prices and their in
evitabfe oorollaries, hard times, bankruptcy
misery and crime.
We believe that the reconciliation of silver

by arrest the further depreciation of prop
erty and other values, by giving US an in
crease Of primary money, not based on debt.
which will keep pace with the increase Of
population and the necessary increase of COM
merce and industry which should accompany
it.
Taking all these things into consideration
the members of the Bryan-Lind Labor club
delegated me to present to you in their be-
half this silver pen as a token Of their ap-
probation Of the manly fight you have made
In this campaign, and trust that when the
measure for the free coinage of silver
reaches you for signature, you will utilize
this little token, not because of it's intrinsic
value" upon which your adversaries lay so
much stress, but because It's presentation
embodies the honest sentiments of a class
of citizens who have always proven to be
their country's staunchest bulwark against
all oppression, wrong and injustice.

she will arrive in ST. Paul this morning

He will attend church in the morning
with Mrs. Bryan and J. M. Hawthorne,
if the weather be pleasant. The choice
of a place of worship has been kept a

The afternoon will be spent in pri-
