The interchange ofopinions however
brought about better feeling all
round and Chairman Johnston
withdrew his opposition to the ar
engagements made by the sub-com-

charge of the arrangements yet to
be made. The Committee also
settled the dispute over the ticket
question by accepting Mr.. Vree-

turn over the tickets to the Chair
man for distribution, and adjourned
till Tuesday night, at which time
the tickets will be placed in the
proper hands. Mr.. Vreeland at no
time claimed the authority to dis
tribute the tickets, but he held that
he was accountable for them to the
Committee itself and not to the
Chairman alone. This question
having been settled to the sat
isfaction of all parties, the meeting
ended with nothing but good feel
ing prevailing. Ex-senator Black

ment and congratulated the Com

The Democratic Executive Com
mittee met in Lexington Tuesday
to straighten out the tangle grow
ing out of a conflict of authority be-
tween the Committee and its Chair
man, Maj. Johnston. There were
present in person or by proxy all
but two of the thirteen members.
OF these nine were opposed to the
position taken by the Chairman in
regard to the Convention arrange
ments. Two sessions were held,
The first was taken up in speech
making by members of the Com,
mittee, all in a conservative spirit.
After dinner a short and harmoni-
Gus session was held, at which all
friction was removed and harmony
restored. The Committee at its
March meeting appointed Mr.. Jno.
w. Vreeland, the Louisville men,
Der, to make all necessary arrange
ments for the Convention, including
the printing of tickets and badges
and the hiring of hall. Some two
months later Chairman Johnston
was led to believe that Mr. Vree-
land contemplated packing the
Convention for Goebel, the trouble
being stirred up by misrePresenta'
lions in the Louisville Dispatch
The Chairman thereupon took the
position that the Committee hao
acted without authority in dele
eating powers to MIR. Vreeland
claimed by him as belonging only
to the Chairman. He accordingly
repudiated the action authorized by
the Committee and hired another
hail and had tickets, etc, printed

The outcome of the Louisville
primary Monday is disgrace to
the State. There is no right side
to it. One side, having the COM
mittee, ignored the other and made
every preparation to steal the nomi-
nations. The other side having the
votes and the police took possession
of the coils, substituted other Off
GERS and held the primary regard
less of the attempt of the committee
to call it off. The ballot-boXes are
still unopened with no proper
authority to count the votes, and
the committee has without authority
met and assumed the right to nomi-
nate the ticket defeated in the
primary, such as It was. FOrtu-
nately the State Convention next
week has supreme power in the
matter. After a general house
cleaning has been had and new
committee put in charge, it may be
possible to hold a decent primary
in the fall and save the party from
defeat,
