| cratic caucus that nominated Black
| burn, 10 Democrats bolted and 13 cast
| their votes scatteringly. OF he 10 bolt
| ers all are gold men, but on pinch, II
| is considered quite certain that all but
| 3 would vote for Blackburn. These
three declare they never will-namely
representatives Carroll and Violet and
Senator Messenger. In fact, Carroll
once recently resigned, went back TO
his people, and was reelected on the
distinct pledge that he should never
vote for Blackburn, Blackburn's silver
views, however, being the only thing
held out against him. With the disaf-
lection against Hunter and the bolt
against Blackburn. /. Mr.. Hampton
thought that the balloting would drag
on without result. In the miX-up,there
would be in the field on the Republi-
can side, Bradley, Yerkes and Hunter,
and on the Democratic side McRary,
Buckner, Ex-Governor Brown and
Blackburn. 1t is said that McRary
has hopes. In case of no election, my
informant says that there could be no
appointment by the Governor, as the
Constitution provides for that only in
case of death or resignation. So that,
from this view, it would seem to be
among the possibilities that Kentucky
will be represented by only one Sena-
tor; for when Wilson's successor will
have been elected, there will be the
same tie as there was before.
