Kansas City. Mo-. July 2-The selection
OF Standardized ]. c. 8. Blackburn as a
member Of the Committee on Resolutions
to-day by the Kentucky delegation is re-
garded as a. distinct achievement by the
extreme silver element Of the party. This
ls due not SO much to the fact that Senator
Blackburn himself Is extreme on the ques-
tion as because 1t is known that he is one
OF Mr. Bryans closest political friends.
While he does not favor the insertion into
the platform of plank declaring in ex-
plicit terms for the free and unlimited COIN
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. and,
il may be added, the Kentucky delegation
is practically unit with him in that posi-
ton, II is understood that he will not stand

KENTUCKY NOW HAS
 TWO GOVERNMENTS
Both Are Completely Differed and Claim to Be in
 Authority.

Frankfort, Ky, February 1.-Two state governments, completely officered and each claiming to be the regular and legal off, ficials, are in Frankfort today and will re- main, each claiming the right to administer the affairs of state until the question is ad- indicated in the courts. The only ludicrous thing about the contests came into the sit- uation today. As anticipated, the banks refused to recognize either of the contend ing factions and as a result both are with out money and the state funds are as se- curely tied up as they could be.
 Legislators, county as we'll as state of- ficials, and all kinds of contractors with the state will have to wait until somebody Is authorized by a decision of the courts to pay them, and the state will have to wait on what is due it till the courts say who is authorized to receive it. The democratic state officers have opened offices in the Cap- itol hotel. The charitable and penal state institutions are among the sufferers.
