GOVERNOR bradley 70 Be CENSURED
And Denounced, According to One
Rumor-The Hunter Men Claim
He Will He Elected on the
Next BALLOT.

Frankfort, April 12.-The senatorial
and rumors of such damaging nature
have followed on each others heels since
Saturday that the scene is almost kaleido-
scopic. The latest rumOr that has gain
ty-cight hours Il sensational resolution
will be introduced in the house by the
Hunter republicans censuring and de-
nouncing Governor Bradley in the most
severe terms for taking and having Il
part in the alleged bribery charges
which have been brought against DR..
Hunter.
Ex-Congrcssman Wilson and E. IT,.
Franks, the Hunter republicans who are
implicated with their leader in the al
legged attempt ut bribery, were summon
ed before the grand jury this morning
on the recommendation of Attorney Gen
cral Taylor, who said that he did not
want to see the grand jury become Il
mere engine for political persecution.
Representative w. A. Baird, a sound
money democrat from Davies county,
was also served with II subpoena, and
it was stated that he was to be ques-
toned as to whether or not he had been
offered money by the Hunter managers.
There was Il murmur of surprise when
the senatorial leaders filed into the
house for the joint session. Redoubta-
bic Jack Chinn, who figured SO cXten-
siycly in the session last winter, occu-
pied Il seat ut the door, while Capt
Thos. Tanner, who testified before the
| grand jury against DR.. Hunter and his
| licutenants, stood just behind him. The
| republicans were nonplusscd for time
| but rs no offensive movement was made
the incident was soon forgotten.
| Whcnsthe roll was called the Hunter
republicans answered promptly to theil
names. but the gold democrats, botine
republicans and free silver democrats de
| clined to answer, thus breaking quo
| rum.
| Representative Burns of Madison coun

of the opposition in round terms. saying

eral assembly on the floor and only !.
had answered, the continuation of whicl
tactics. he said, was Il disgrace to th
state. A ballot was ordered. which re
suited in f0rty-four votes being cast fo
Hunter. No quorum being present, thu
general assembly adjourned.
The Hunter men were busy this after
noon collecting their scattered forces TO
Il final effort tomorrow. They announced
that they will win on the next joint bal
4 lot unless all signs fail, and every means
known to the politicians is being use'
by them, not only to keep their men il
line but to secure the necessary addi
tional votes from the outside.

though every effort has been made to
hold them. Late last night the water

creating something of a panic, causing
the exodus which took place today.

THE BRIBERY CHARGES.
Grand Jury Probing Deeply Into the
Affair.

Frankfort, Ky. April 12.-The local
grand jury is going deeply into the
bribery charges against DIR. Hunter and
his lieutenants. Not only was the nomi-
nee and Mr. Frank and cX-COngressman
Wilson before the body today, but late
this evening half dozen senators and
members. including all those who con-
tend that DR.. Hunter was in his room
on the night of April /. were summoned
and examined. After this Capt Gaines,
who swears DR.. Hunter came to his
house on the night mentioned, was re-
called, and afterwards his wife went into
the jury room. A part of Hunters tes-
timony was reiteration of his public
statement that he had never seen Gaines
and never was in his home in his life.
The jury adjourned for the day without
returning any indictments or other re-
ports.
1t is reported that the investigation
will take wider scope at tomorrow's s
session. Meanwhile the harm, if any,
done Hunter by these charges and their
publicity is, in measure, discounted by
break between the Blackburn demo-
Gratis and gold democrats. The latter
have been assisting in breaking q quo
rum because of the imminent chance of
Hunters election. They say they will do
80 no longer because the Blackburn
democrats won't help or agree to try to
help elec. Martin or any other comprOm-
Use candidate, and because they are pledg-
ed to some kind of election, and it is i'm
possible If quorums are broken.
Hunters friends will vote to secure his
election. This, with all voting, is likely
to come at any moment.
