FRANKFORT, KY, April 20 Especial
correspondence when last wrote TO
the News / felt sure that something |
would drop" before the let Of May, and |
the string has been pulled for the fall
Hunter did the only thing he could do
withdraw from race be was never in.
The vanquished has folded his tents and
silently stole away to his Washington re-
treat, where he is the lion Of the hour in
Republican circles. The legacy he left
behind TO Senator Deboe--who by some
unkiud Democrats is called the "legisla-
tive mit fit"-has been declared legal by
political law and it only remains for the
joint assembly 10 elect ID, Doe for 1t all to
be oy r. But Deboe has troubles OF his
own. Two of his party won't support
him, or haven't done So and il they do
not, then will come a second edition OF
the long and tilesome deadlock. How
ever, / suppose Lieberth aud Linney,
the recalcitrant members, will come
around all right to-day or tomorrow aud
elect Deboe. A great pressure is being
brought to bear on the two independents
to get them to give in and bring success
TO their partys nominee. The shades of
Beck and McCTeary will have convul-
sions when doctorly, lawyerly Deboe, of
Crittenden, goes to gil the shoes OF these
illustrious representatives Of the people.
But Deboe is vastly better than Hunter.
He is honest and conservative. These
two qualities make him worthy II he
possesses no other.

The log.rollirg for iavorite bills has
begun in both Houses and the members
are D sieged by every man who wants to
see pet measure get to the Governor.
This will be kept up until the poor, lazy
Rspr, s-ntatives are worn out with the
pests Of business legislation. But the
Solons have nobody but themselves to
blame, for if the work had been kept up
to the calendar there would have been
no need for the present push and jam
49,
1t has been mighty hard to get the
turnpike raiders bill considered in either
House. Notwithstanding the TACT that
it was one of the 6s matters or Tered to
the attention of the members. 1t was
again passed Saturday until this week,
when it will doubtless be buffeted about
for a lew hours in debate and put in the
orders OF the day. Tue Senate substitute
for the House bill, allowing assistance
for the Court OF Appeals was passed yes
terday and is ready for the Governors
signature. 1t allows $1,000 year for
clerks etc.

Chas, White tried to adjourn the
House Saturday to next Thursday, but
fortunately there were members who did
not want to loiter that much. The speak
er Of the House read the riot act to the
members the other morning about their
time. killing, cheese-paring methods. He
told them the people Of the State we're
disguised and refused to allow an adj
onrnment motion considered after the
oint 3, ssion. 1t is probable that a little
work will her, after be done in the after
moons, but heretofore nothing but loafing
has been thought Of.

The Senate has passed the bill allow
ing interest on all warrants from date of
issue before the General Assembly. This
will help out many a warrant holderwho
bad been sweating blood over not draw
ing interest The bill for borrowing
money 10 meet the PR sent deficit has
been reported and 10 ready for action In
the Senate, bat looks as II that body was
not at all anxious to provide aremedy
Tor our pr ssnt financial straits II is
the one thug needfnl TO the States well
fare and good rame with creditors who
are tired OF holding worthless warrants.
The r publlcans who have been sit
ting in fear aud trembling over the re-
port that the pie belonging 70 Kentucky
would not be cut and distributed before
next year, can compose their souls In pa
thence aud dlsabuse their minds The
pastry Is coming aud coming promptly.
As soon ~ senator is elected the APP
pointmeut u Kenluckians will begin,
and the ''raacals" will be turned OUT
As rapidly a. possible. l think Dsboe
win be elected to-day or By Thursday
anyhow. Then the siresome wait will
end.
