A YOUTH named Garnett Graves,
hitherto to fortune and TO fame un-
known, sprung a sensation in the con-
vention at Frankfort by showing eight
$50 bills and claiming that Charles E.
Sommers, sergeant-at-arms OF the last
Senate, had given them to him as a
bribe for the Taylor county proxies to
be voted against McChord for whom
the delegates from that county were
instructed. If it is true, condemnation
of Sommers and those for whom he
acted, could not be expressed in severe
enough terms. but we do not take much
stock In the story. There Is almost as
much probability that the sensation
was sprung for purpose "a that the
bribe was offered. AT any rate we
think that Sommers is too smart to
have made such bungling job or to
have parted with good money before
he got his goods. The matter has been
turned over TO the grand jury and il
there is really anything in the case, il
is hoped that it will be brought out
and the guilty punished.

AS predicted, McChord won the nom
ination for railroad commissioner on
the first ballot. Owing to prolonged
wranele in the committee on creden-
tials, the convention was 30 hours In
reaching it. however, and the nomina-
tion was not made till an early hour
Saturday morning. Even after all that
time the committee came In with two
reports the minority's being signed by
Senator G. T. Farris and Judge Fulton
seating the McChord delegation in the
5lst Louisville district and that for him
In Franklin. Strange to say Chairman
Garnett ruled that the sitting delegates
might vote on the contests against
them, but even with such unfairness,
the minority report Received l66 to
that of the majority l6l.' The commit
tee on permanent organization report
ed continuing the temporary officers.
A ballot was taken, after Mr.. Alexan-
der had withdrawn, and then it was all
over but the shouting. On the only
ballot McChord had 1894, Nelson 1924
and Pitcher 80. Before it was announc-
ed, however, delegation after delega-
tion fell into line for McChord and his
nomination was finally made by unan-
imous acclamation, The committee on
resolutions ignored the proposition to
make certain legislative enactments a
part OF the platform, and only reported
in favor of the Chicago platform and
for its apostle, Bryan, for the presiden-
cy.
Several things combined to give Me-
Chord the nomination, the principal
one being that he had no opponent of
much force and another the hue and
cry that he raised against railroads, ,
which seemed to haunt the average :
delegate sleeping and waking and give ,
him the feeling that bogie man was
ever on hand ready to devour him. The
feeling against railroads and corpora
tions is as deep seated as IL is foolish. I
1t permeates every class from those 7
who ought to know better. TO the igno-
rant, who has nothing to lose or gain 9
by il. Mr.. McChord had produced this
feeling by pressing bill to give the
control of railroad rates practically TO q
the railroad commissioners aud there's e
where he showed his long head. The I
district by the last vote Is about TO-
900 democratic and Mr.. McChord will
doubtless poll the full vote.
