THE SADDLE.
Continued from First Page.)
Editorial Correspondence,
Convention Hall,

number OF detectives and hremen in
PLAIN clothes were in the hall.
This enraged the delegates, and John
Rhea made motion that the hall be
cleared Of the police.
Rsdwine thought that when the police
were ii ,cted the delegates would throw
him out OF the window and elect new
chairman, and he refused TO entertain
the motion.
The creature OF the convention then
became greater than the sovereign body.
The del sgates howled at him to call a
vote the motion. HE said the motion
was out Of order, and ordered the clerk
to call the roll of counties on the nomi-
nations for Governor
The delegates paid no attention to
this. They drowned the secretarys
voice with cries, cat-cslls, and with the
blare OF tin horns. They sang "My
Country, 'Tis Of Thee" "There'll be
Hot Time" and "Old Kentucky Home"
Several witty fellows improvised songs
and one went as follows:
Redwine, Redwine,
I've been thinking
What glorious thing it would
be
If you were transported
Far beyond the Northern sea.
The deleg ltes haye no respect for the
chair, They laugh and jeer at him
When he confers with anyone on the
stage the delegates howl out, "What
does Goebel say?" When he takes
lunch they charge that Goeb pays for
it. In fact they charge that every act Of
his life is controlled by Go.bel.
This is the first time in history when
policemen passed on the credentials Of
delegates to Democratic convention.
Yesterday morning Emmett Orr tried
to get into the hall. The policemen
tried TO put him out. A struggle ensued
and while it was going on Chairman
Redwine turned as white as a ghost and
ran to the rear OF the stage. The dele
gates yelled: Coward "Pals wine T"
"Red swine at the retreating chair
man. Orr finally got in, and as a result
Of being roughly handled by the police
he has retained lawyer and will sue
the policeman for $4,000
Goebeism is master OF the situation
through the chairman, who is Goebel's
creature. The party has been turned
over to Haldeman and Weaver. The
Courier.J ournal is the ttilcial organ OF
what was once the Democratic party, but
now exists as such in name only. Goebel
openly boasts that he will get the nomi-
nation or make it hard Shedding for the
man that does He has become greater
than the cause. The mans insatiate
ambition knows no bounds.
His followers are mostly made up of
political pimps who believe that any low
trick is right They all say that if Goe.
bel gets the nomination and every voter
in the State votes against him he will
still win as he will count himself in.
The fruitless delay in nominating the
Governor is wearing out the minor can
didates.
Their headquarters are no longer the
scenes Of festivity and good cheer. They
are deserted, and free beer, free whiskey
and free cigars are matter of history.
They have become tradition.
Later In the day the secretary began to
call the roll on the nomination for gov
eTnor. He was several times howled
down, but he persisted in the call. Men
who were unauthoriz ed to vote did So
The Hardin men refused to vote.
The CONGRESSIONAL, with character
istic unfairness and disregard for the
truth, said this morning that the noises
made in the hal came from l. & n. EN-.
plOyees and Whallenites.
They were made by the outraged
Stone and Hardin men, who realiz I'd
they had elected a chairman who was
the puppet OF his master.
The Stone and Hardin men would like
tor the convention to adjourn, and for
the question of the gubernatorial nomi-
nation to go back to the people.
Today a dark horse is being spoken of,
and the name OF John Young Brown is
on the lips of those vino favor the nomi-
nation OF a man who has kept tree from
the broils OF the convention.
One thing is certain this convention
has developed brainy politician in the
person OF June w. Gayle, candidate for
auditor. He is warm-hearted, impul.
sive, generous young fellow, with the
brain ability and executiveness that
makes a fine politician. John b.
Thompson gets the credit of much of the
work that is done by Gaylt.
The stampede that was started for
