WILL CLAIM PARTY EMBLEM.
Anti-GoebeI Democrats Likely 10
Score an Important Point in
Kentucky.

LEXINGTON, KY, Aug. AT the con-
vention, 10 be held here August 10, the
anti-Goebel Democrats will claim the reg
uIar party emblem. According TO law,
this emblem must be claimed every fourth
year by the party, and the secretary OF
state must grant the claim. This must
be made in convention. The convention at
Louisville was fourth in the series, but
il failed to claim the emblem. The anti
Goebel men will make this claim. and, as
the secretary of state is a Republican, II
is believed he will grant the request 1t
is given out tonight that he slate. as
far as has been arranged Tor nomination,
at the coming convention is:
John Young Brown, governor; p. p.
Johnston, lieutenant governor: James
O'Neil, Louisville: Harry Myers, Coving-
ton; w. c. Owens. Scott; James Todd,
Owen, and ]. b. Barnett for attorney gen.
eral; Samuel Leutz, auditor; John Dodge.
Covington treasurer.
The anti-Goebel conference here for the
purpose of calling state convention and
nominating another Democratic state tick
ct. or part of one, was, in some respects.
perhaps the most remarkable political gath
ering ever held in Kentucky. The confer
ence was composed of leading farmers and
professional men. only a few politicians
being in the assembly. 1t was composed OF
quiet, conservative Democrats.
There was intense indignation against
the alleged methods of the Louisville con-
vention and stubborn determination TO
cneck the operations OF the alleged ma
chine. 1t was manifest from the beginning
that the feeling was not against the whole
ticket, but against it's head. and although
other nominations may be made against
those of the Louisville convention, the main
opposition will be mainly directed towards
the defeat of William Goebel.
The gathering was larger than expected.
There was 40 men, by actual count, in the
auditorium. Thirty counties were repre-
sented.
The resolutions indorse Bryan and the
Chicago platform, denounce the methods OF
the Louisville convention to secure the
nomination of William Goebel: declare that

The governor has not yet succeeded In
getting the railroads to enter into an agree
