JUDGE 2. MORROW.

T. z. Morrow beat George Denny fol
temporary chairman by 81 votes, amid
wild demonstrations by the Bradley
men.
The body resolved itself into riot and
open charges we're made OF the most dis
graceful nature. The police bad to take
hand several times, but the governor
had not been called upon to order out
the MALTA at last accounts. The McKip-
ley men were strong enough to secure an
adjournment till day morning,
when the battle was again resumed.
The committee on credentials made a
report signed by every member OF the
committee, seating the Bradley delega-
tons from Warren, Pike, Leslie and Ed.
monson counties and the Mckinley DEL
egation from Logan. The Louisville con-
test was compromised by the contested
vote being equally divided between the
contestants and contestees. The COM
mittee's report was adopted by acclama-
ton by the convention. Hon. CHARLES
Blanford was made permanent chairman
the report of the committee on perma-
nent organization being adopted after a
warm fight.
The convention is very different
body to the one that met in the same
building last year. Then all the wings
had Topped together and harmony lay
around in great stacks. Now every 9TH
er man is charging the other with every
sin In the catalogue and every son-of-a.
gun seems DESTROYS OF getting ahead of
every other son-of s-gun in the grand
grab for pie. Then the efforts Of the del
egates were directed against the common
enemy; now each is grabbing at the 9th.

hindmost. 1t is humilisting scene,
even for the dsreputsble party which is
responsible for it.
Doctor Senator Walton has assumed q
new role. He opened the convention at
Louisville by asking Gods blessing on
the warning factions.
Wood Dunlap repeated bis defense to
the republican delegates, trying to induce
them not to be too hard on him for re-
fusing to receive stolen seat in the Leg
islsture and assuring them that he would
have taken it If he had seen any chance
to use it.

Gov. BRADLEY secured first instruc
tionsfor himself for president by the
convention at Louisville, but in the
shape it is in it is a most empty honor
and will profit him nothing He wont
even be consulted as to his second choice

be nominated on the first ballot and
Bradley wont be boss of Kentucky.

They represent 100000 communicates

On motion the action of the confer

The debate on the woman question
was again heated, but no decision was
reached.

In brilliant speech, moved TO recon-
NIT both majority and minority re-
ports, with instructions TO bring in a
report submitting the question 10 the

Several speeches were made in favor

For the last half century the Ameri-

been trying to solve mystery in the

that lay In the way of finding out just
what IL was was the fact that IL was
inaccessible. and when they came any
where near the spot the hole dlsap-
peared from sight. In fact, IL can
only be seen from within few miles

The purpose is to advance the price OF
