THE TENTH DISTRICT
1t looks as il Senator Flood may be the
nominee of the Bucna Vista Convention
by reclamation.
The announcement from Stanton of the
withdrawal of Judge Julian NJ ouarles
from the congressional contest in the Tenth
District. makes it Very certain that Sem
ator Hal d Flood will get 1.early all the
delegates In the convention. which meets
at Buena Vista on the first day OF Au-
gust.
II is reported that Commonwealth At
torney B T. Gordon. Of Nelson. is also
OUT. and that his Withdrawal was made in
The interest of Senator Flood. This. if
true. leaves only Colonel Catlett. of Rock
bridge. and Mr. Flood as the contestants.
and as the former has only eighteen DEL
esates. il would be surprise should he
retire from the race and leave the way
clear for The Apponattoe man to be no1ni-
mated by acclaination on the first ballot
