pUNTER FAILS TO LAND
FELL S+ORT or SENAT CRSHIE
BY TWO VOTES.
Free Silver Democrats May Line Up
~
For Bradley "A Red Hot
Finish Fight.

Louisville, KY. March PA special
to the Post from Frankfort says:
All morning the greatest excitement
prevailed among the legislators. Hunter,
(Rep.), claimed that his election was as
sured, but Governor Bradley's workers
We're on active duty and neglected no OPP
pOrtunity to sow seeds of discord among
the supporters Of the nominee. The sill.
yer Democrats announced with boldness
that they would vote for Bradley if at any
time they saw that by so doing they
would elect him. The first joint ballot
taken since the legislature was convened
in extra session, resulted as the test vote
taken yesterday indicated, in no election,
although the Hunter men moved heaven
and earth to accomplish the election OF
their man.
AS he is the nominee and the Republi-
cans have clear majority on joint bal
lot it is generally accepted that either
Bradley will win or that no Senator will
be chosen. The first ballot was as fol.
lows Hunter Rep), 81; Blackburn,
tSilver DemocraD 40; Davie (Sound
Money DemocraO II; necessary to a
choice 60.
Taylor, Boyle, Stone and Buckner got
the scattering votes. 84 n
The vote shows a slight gain for Hun
ter, he having received only &c yester-
day on test vote, but it is not believed
that he can win now. There was only
one member absent to-day, Senator Ogil-
vie, silver Democrat from McCracken
county. ,8 ~ go
Norman and Baird, two silver Demo
crafts, voted for Hunter again to-day as
they did yesterday.
The general assembly adjourned with
out attempting to take another ballot.
TO-DAY'S PROPOSED COUP.
Frankfort, KY, March 24.-The sew
eral forces in Kentucky's famous sena-
torial struggle are lined up like armies
ready for battle. The two ballots al
ready taken were but strengthening
skirmishes and no one knows which side
will make the first real attack.
Tonight it is whispered that the anti
Hunter Republicans are ready to act and
are urging the Democrats who are in the
Bradley coalition scheme to make the
dash intended tomorrow. -.
Hunter. with six boiling Republicans,
has secured three Democratic votes and
is putting forth every effort to secure
the two additional votes necessary to his
election. The anti-Hunter, Bradley
coalition proposes to hurry up matters to
prevent his securing these votes,
When the break does come, and more
than the six boiling Republicans go to
voting with the Democrats for Bradley
it is believed that some free silver Dem
ocrats we'll turn to Hunter and make the
finish fight one Of the closest and most
exciting on record

CHRISTMAS AFTERMATH

Quite a number of the boys were
made happy Christmas Day by the re-
ceipt of some small trinket or reminder
of home and friends. 1t did one good
to go among them and note the real
happiness felt in telling about "What
they got for Christmas. Talk about a
boy being proud of his first pocket
knife it is nothing to the sense of
gratitude experienced by many here
who received some token of regard
especially those who received such
from source whence they had no
valid reason to expect it.
Xxx
We spoke to one very sober looking
fellow who seemed as though he had
lost all hope and all ambition. He
was more than ordinarily intelligent,
and when the subject OF Christmas
was preached, he said: Il would give
anything today if could only receive
letter or a Christmas card from my
mother or sister. But | am ashamed
to let them know where | am, and
they probably mourn for me as dead
seeing that | have not written home
for nearly three years"
*x*
The inmate of prison, when he
sizes mp the situation in the quietness
of his cell. feels that he is not dissimi-
lar to the dog without a master or
friend. 1t is in the nature of mortals
| to be social and to pine for the COM
partnership of friends or friendly COM
municatiOns. And when adverse con-
ditions deprive him of these boons, he
can sympathize with the poor street
cur that receives naught but kicks and
cuffs. 1t is reasonably certain that
more than half the inmates, had they
received some kindly greeting from
home or friends on Christmas, would
thereby have been given fresh incen-
tive to be men among men, for the sake
of others if for nothing else.
| ~
The editorial eve" was not forgotten
in the Christmas shuttle, and, besides a
reminder from home, is in a position to
continually note the value of true
friendship as the smoke curls up from
the Christmas pipe of peace and good
will.

| Pretty literary concerts and vOlumi-

as there is particle of sentiment and
paternal and maternal affection in the
world-yes, just as long as we have
Christmases and Thanksgiving to re-
mind US of the ties that bind-just so
long will it be possible to lead men by
sentiment, where it will never be
practicable to drive some by all the
arts of mechanical lawmaking.

In the two noteworthy articles in the

has given in a nut shell a sOunder
philosophy and more convincing in

offered to the criminal in whole VOL
umes of denunciatiOn and warning in
the usual works on criminaIity and
crime, and as those earnest burning
words leaped hot from his own heart
upon the paper, his own bruised and
suffering heart, to warn, encourage
and persuade the convicted wrong doer
to abandon forever his evil life. who
shall doubt that the recording angel
