THE Kentucky monument at Chick
amauga was dedicated with imposing
ceremonies in the presence OF vast
throng aud the 80 gorgeous colonies
who accompanied Gov. Bradley. Col.
T. II. Hays, 10 behalf OF the commits
sion, made fitting speech In rendering
the monument TO Kentucky's governor
and when he had concluded. Miss
Christine Bradley pulled the cord that
unveiled the memorial Ia a lavender
gown, trimmed with white lace, and
wearing a large white hat, she was a
picture OF beauty. Gov. Bradley re-
ceived the shaft atd made a most elo-
quent speech, paying tribute alike to
the blue and gray. II was one OF his
best efforts and was longly and loudly
applauded. In accepting the monu-
ment for the secretary OF war Gen.
Boyntou said: 1--WE behold the full
fruition OF the fundamental idea upon
which the park was established, name
ly, absolute impartiality as to monu-
ments for opposing armies" Boynton
spoiled his speech by eulogizlng Sec
rotary of War Alger and Adjt. Gen.
Corbin, speaking of them as true pa
triots and able officials whom political
enemies were trying to drag out of Of
fee, for which of course he will receive
Gov. Gambler and Gen. Jas.
occupied seats beside Gov.
Bradley on the platform and the Georg-
ian who had come to dedicate the mon
ument erected by that State to its IN
ion and Confederate dead, treated
the Kentuckians with much courtesy,
making the whole occasion a pleasant
and a memorable one.

w. p. WALTON.

THE republican convention at Rich
mond to nominate a candidate for rail-
road commissioner was a red hot one.
John ID. White was the fire brand and
he warmed things up, especially Col.
Colson. who came back at bin pretty
savagely. A general row was narrowly
ayerted, the session finally ending In
an uproar. Judge J. II. Tinsley was
made temporary chairman, a victory
for John c. Wood, John II. Wilson, a
Culton man, moved that each candidate
be permitted to name representative
on the committee on credentials, but 1t
was voted down by an overwhelming
majority. Judge Tinsley then made
the appointments. The committee was
out two days in a wrangle. during
which a motion was made to discharge
it for incompetency. 1t finally reported,
Senator Hissem, of Newport, was made
permanent chairman and the balloting
began. The vote on it was: Wood,
295: Culton, 1864: Huff, IS: Dyche, lOlt;
Degley, 25; Dixon, 22 Conway, SO; Dim
gus, Is: Stallard, 2l; Cole, ;. After
the sixth ballot the hindmost man was
dropped and Wood won on the sth. The
resolutions endorse the administra-
tions, State and National, condemn the
civil service law and state that what is
known as the Goebel election law is
regarded as the most infamous piece of
legislation ever perpetrated upon free
people. The fight OF the republicans
in the coming campaign is evidently to
be made against that law, but it will
cut no ice. The democrats love it and
its author for the enemies it has made
and will endorse both by the old time
majority.
