Goebel. who with an iron grasp has
ruled the Democratic state convention
since it assembled a week ago, was last
night nominated for governor on the
twenty sixth ballot, after a contest un-
paralleled in this state for bitterness
and determination on the part of the
winner, or for skillful manipulation.

brought a reasonable degree of 4lar-
mony to the factions which throughout
the fight battled for every inch of

and her 20 votes dumped into the Goe-
bel column with resounding cheers
Heretofore they had been divided be-
tween Stone and GOebel- The Harden
ties stuck to their colors gamely and
every county where there was a chance
for argument was fought over with Bit
terness and determination. When In
ion county, near the end of the list,
threw her 16 votes from Stone to Goe-
bel the partisans of the latter let them
selves loose and for several minutes
their jubilations held noisy sway The
ballot was concluded with difficulty ana
announced as follows:
Goebel $50. Hardin 531.
This provoked as much noise as any
event of the convention and for the
first time nearly all the delegates join
ed in it. Mr.. Goebel was introduced
and made a short speech of thanks.
I never got anything in my life that
was worth fighting for he said, with
out a hard fight. 1 am willing to make
hard fight for anything l think is
= worth fighting for. The governorship
of Kentucky is worth fighting for. I
shall enter this campaign with all the
energy 1 possess and stay in it until
November No man would have given
more earnest support to either of my
opponents had he been nominated L
have the right to expect the same from
them, and L believe 1 will get it"
Ex-senator Joe Blackburn concluded
the speech making with few words of
warmly and expressed confidence in the
success of the party in November. He
paid his respects to The few scattered
remnants of the Indianapolis conven-
tom and urged his hearers to "fal in
line for Bryan and silver in 1900"
The convention then adjourned until
10 o'clock this morning.

ABANDONED.
President Mckinley Gives Up
Western Trips
Owing to the State of His Wifes'
Health.

New York, June 2S.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: The
state of Mrs. McKinley's health at this
time is decidedly worse than it has US
Gally been since she has been in the
White house and the probable result
will te that the president will remain
in Washington practically all summer
and will take very little if any vacation
out of this city.
President McKinleys projected trip
looked forward to in anticipation of en-
joyment for himself and improvement
in Mrs. McKinley's condition, has been
definitely abandoned. His proposed trip
to Minnesota has also been abandoned.
The unfaV orable turn in Mrs McKin-
ley'S condition is attributed partly to a
cold which she contracted just before
and this cold semed to weaken her to
such an extent to make it advisable
to avoid the exertion which would have
been necessary had she remained away
as long as had been intended. 1t is not
expected that Mrs. Mckinley will have
to stay in the house She will be able
to drive about the city as heretofore
and it is proba BILE that she and the pres
ident if they do not leave the city again
for any long stay will take occasional
outings on the Potomac on the auxiliary
gunhoat Sylph which is a very comfort
able vessel for such excursions.

from a Justices court. This is an ac-
ton to recover rent for and damages to
the Vendone hotel occupied by the
defendants for some time as sani-
tarium. The damage is alleged to have
been caused by a nedicated atnos-
phere pumped into the building

the defendants that it is destructive to
the tuberculosis baci1li. The plaintiff
admits that it is death on wall paper

paper were offered in evidence AS an
offset against the plaintiffs claim there
is an assigned claim by Mr. DoO!ittle
of $50. being a balance due him as COM

ant company as a lessee of the plaintiff.
