possible where the precinct delegates
are instructed bya unanimous vote.
The contest drawing to a close has
been one full OF interest but by nc
means exciting. Ii closes with the re-
suit very much in doubt az to both
nominations.
There are three announced candi-
dates for circuit court Judge. Judge
Thos. p. Cook is presented by Gallo
way, Judge X. A. Burnett by Trigg
aud Judge John Phelps by Christian
county Each of these gentlemen ex-
poets to carry his own county, without
much opposition From what we cen
learn, Lyon county will show more
strength for Cook, but the situation
is still more complicated by the prob
ability that Lyon may instruct for
Judge Watkins, dark horse candi-
date of her own, and make no other
instructions. If this is done and each
candidate carries has own county solid,
the candidates would have the fol
loving standing in the Murray con
vention on April S-Cook ID, Phelps

take II and fraction to nominate,
In the race for Commonwealth at
torney there are four contestants. Two
are in Christian and two in Trigg.
These are Messrs. w. r. Howell and
j. T. Hanbery, of this city, and Hon.
Fenton Sims and Capt. j. @. Dabney,
of Caidz. These gentlemen will OF
course divide their own counties. In
what proportion is matter of con-
lecture. Each of the four expect to
secure majority of the votes of his
own county, and somebody must Of
necessity be disappointed. This I'M
certainty coupled with the report
that Galloway will not instruct for
attorney and the probability that
Lyon may pursue the same course,
makes it impossible to predict any
candidate who has prospects of get
ting within ten votes Of nomination.
This situation is encouraging some
dark horse candidates to indulge the
hope that there may be an opening
for them at some stage in the pro-
ceedings, though there is not much
probability that the convention will
find it necessary to go outside the list
Of announced candidates to make up
the ticket.
All of the candidates for both
Offices are platform Dem ocrats and
there are no national questions in
volved in the contest. The aspirants
are running upon their own merits
and personal popularity.
For once the Kentuckian has not
taken an active part in the selection
of candidates, but holds itself in
readiness to give its loyal support to
any ticket that may be nominated.
