few minutes in conversation with him, then left GOebel and came back. and 30 minutes after the close of their con yersation said to me: "Goabel tells nle that if l will adhere to our original agreement and give him the perma- nent chairmanship, that he will make me the nominee tomorrow. and that he will see that every vote Of his is east for me. Now, can l afford to decline that nomination. 2'
 I said. Captain Stone if you take the nomination on the infamous terms Mr. Goebel has proposed, the good people of Kentucky ought 10 beat you 5a000 votes. l said, moreover, "even if MT Goebel has made you that proposition he has no idea in the world of keeping it; he only asks that you tie your hands this afternoon that he may cut your throat tomorrow. "O," said Stone. "Goebel would not be so in- famous as to tell me a lie like that" Then l said: s"Fie your hands this afternoon, and we will convince you tomorrow what he will do in that line"
 As the Sun Went Down.
 He tied his hands that afternoon and you all know how thoroughly he was convinced before the morrow's sun had set.
 They took that report back to the convention-that report reached by means of that infamous, damnable and fraudulent contract, and adopted it by the combined vote of Stone and GOebel, adopted it as a whole in spite of the fact that everybody knows that in a contest every county in the con-. vention ought to have a right to vote upon every other contest except it's own.

When that report was adopted, General Hardin seeing how he had been outraged and robbed. withdrew from the convention and declined to have anything further to do with it.
 Captain Stone expected Goebel to do likewise and give him the nomination. Dut when nc oImanded or Goebel that he should k'hep bis promise as he had kept his, Goebel simply laughed in his face.
 When the delegations found how they had been deceived and entrapped they attempted to reconsider their ae- tion, but the infamous Redwine, under Goebels dictation, refused to allow any reconsideration. They then moved to adjourn the convention to meet at Lex lngton few days later. Again Red- wine refused to put the question to the convention and denied the right of ap.
