BRADLEY FOR SENATOR
KENTUCKY SILVER DEMOCRATS MAY
VOTE FOR THE GOVERNOR.
Hunter Lacked Three Votes i'm the
joint BALLOT Taken by the Leg
isIature Yesterday.

FRANKFORT. KY, March 2i.-The sew
eral forces in Kentucky's famous senatorial
struggle are lined up like armies ready for
battle. The two ballots already taken were
but strengthening skirmishes and no one
knows which side will make the first real
attack. Tonight ii 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 on tomorrow Hunter. with
six bolting 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 mat
ters to prevent his securing these votes.
When the break does come and. more than
the six bolting Republicans go to voting
with the Democrats for Bradley. 1t is be-
lieved that some free-silver Democrats will
turn 20 Hunter and make the finish fight
one of the closest and most exciting on
record.
This morning the greatest excitement pre-
vailed among the legislators. Hunter
claimed that his election was assured. but
Governor Bradley's workers were on active
duty and neglected no opportunity to sow
seeds of discord among the supporters of
the nominee. The silver Democrats an
nounced with boldness that they would vote
for Bradley IL 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 i'm
no election, although the Hunter men
moved heaven and earth to accomplish the
election of their man. The ballot stood:

got the scattering votes. The vote showed
a slight gain for Hunter. he having re-
ceived only sixty-six yesterday on a test
vote. There was only one member absent
to-day-Senator Ogilvie. silver Democrat
from McCracken county. Norman and
Baird, two silver Democrats, voted for
Hunter again to-day. as they did yesterday.

WASHINGTON. March 24.-The railroad
interests are worked up as they never have
been before. Their representatives in
Washington. some OF whom arc members Of
the third house and others of whom are
members of Senate and House committees.
are greatly exercised over the decision OF the
Supreme Court applying the provisions OF
the Sherman antitrust law TO railway
sociations and alive to the necessity of con-
gressonal action. The plan of campaign
has not yet been fully decided on, but IL
can be assumed a fact that railroad
effort will be concentrated from now on till
the passage of bill which will permit
transportation companies TO form associa-
tions for the preservation OF rates. both Of
freight and passenger traffic business. The
general counsels and the presidents of the
great railroad companies have not yet made
their appearance in Washington. but those
who are in touch with them expect an in
vasion within the next two or three weeks
or as soon as they can consult at the great
railroad centers.
1t is believed that the next attempt made
on Congress by the railroads will be upon
direct lines, and that the issue will be made
squarely that il is to the common interest
of the railroads and the public that pooling
should be legitmatized under regulations
and restrictions that will give the control to
constituted federal authorities. The trouble
heretofore has been that the railroads have
attempted to practice deceit in the pooling
bills that they have been backing in Con-
gress. They have been pretending to give
the Interstate-commerce Commission en-
larged authority and a widened power in
the regulation of railroads. but behind IL
all the language of the bills has been such
as TO strip the commission Of authority TO
enforce its mandates. Ii is this deceit
which has defeated efforts towards the
enactment of laws authorizing pooling.
Members of Congress who are naturally
friendly to railroads have revoted when
the fact was brought TO their attention that
there was "a nigger in the woodpile" and
have felt that If they accepted the bills
proposed by the railroads they might be
betraying the peoples interests. The un-
derying spirit and desire Of Congress is to
be honest in its dealings with the people,
and when they find selfish interests at
tempting to accomplish results by deceit.
opposition usually organizes strong enough
to defeat the aims of these interests. That
has been the trouble with attempted pool
ing legislation. If the railroads had been
frank and honest i'm their representations
they v ould be in a much better position to-
day tia they are.
