TO SUCCEED JUDGE MUM.
The Hon. j. Fleming Gordon
Named for Circuit Judge.

Frankfort, KY, Dec. 15.-Gov.
Beckham this morning appointed
the Hon. J. Fleming Gordon, of
Madisonville, Judge of the Hopkins
county judicial district to succeed
Judge Thomas J, Mum, who has
been elevated TO the Appellate
bench. The appointment is to be-
come effective on December 81,
Judge Mum having resigned as Of
that day.
His most formidable opponent
for the appointment was the Hon
Polk Laffoon, of Madisonville
Judge Gordon will be a candidate
for the Democratic nomination fol
election next year.

be chosen under the direction Of the
state central committee.
This matter is of far more impor-
tance than the matter of preparing
a platform, for the platform of 1900
will continue to be the authorized
expression of the party's principles
until another convention meets.
There must necessarily be con.
ventiou in 1904 and the present
platform could be warmed over and
made to do duty until that time,
and it will be noted that the local
committees would remain in Office
until that time. AS the state COM
mttees hold until removed by con-
vention, the safest plan for the pres
ent committeeman, who want to
continue in office, will be to Iskip
1905 altogether and not resort to
revolutionary tactics.
Then there lis another obstacle.
The committeeman could not partic-
ipate in the election at the expense
of other people and if they we're re-
quired to pay $1,000 each for the
privilege of running for a purely
honorary place, how many OF them
could stand the entrance fee?
Still another objection arises to
confront this proposition. The
committee has not taken any ac-
tion on this matter and the sub
committee would have no authority
to delegate to the attorney, the au-
thority to incorporate such a pro-
vision in the court proceedings.
Such a step would be the acme of
assininity and would make those
attempting 1t the laughing stock of
the whole state.

FLOUNDERINd in DEEP WATER

"An attorney for the defense, -
presumably Judge Pryor, is quoted
in a dispatch from Frankfort as
SAYING that the "kickers will be
Modified" by inserting in the ar
swer to the injunction a provision
for the election of a new State Ex-
ecutiye Committee in the primary
sought to be held on May 9th.
1t cannot be possible that any at
torney for the defense is so igno-
rant or so desperate as to hold for
a moment that the committee, acting
as a purely executive body under
instructions from the highest legis-
lative body of the party, the state
convention, could assume to reor-
ganize the party after abolishing
the convention.
The party law gives the state
committee authority only in state
matters and under any strained
construction of the law, the com
mittee could have no jurisdiction
except in the election of the two
members from the state at large.
The others are all district officers,
chosen by district conventions and
in cases Of vacancies their success.
ore are to be elected by district
committees. This threat to destroy
one more of the peoples privileges
and prescribe a different method Of
party organization without con-
sulting the people themselves would
be even more high-handed and rev.
dictionary than anything already
attempted.
But as a matter of fact this plan
is impossible, because the party
law expressly provides that all
matters of party organization shall
come under the jurisdiction of the
] SLdAC NCn ~ al NOIulLilLCCg d OOuy GU
tirely different except as to two
members from the state at large.
The powers of this committee are
limited to local matters and the
state central committee is really
itself subordinate committee,
with no power to participate in a
plan to concentrate all power in the
hands of either or both committees.
The state executive committee
can only be superseded by the &C
ton Of state convention to ratify
the work of district conventions
held in the regular way.
If no more conventions are to be
held, then the present organization
remains in force indefinitely, ex-
cept as to local committees. These
were elected in November, 1900, for
the term of four years and after
their terms expire there would be
! no committees until new ones could

He wouldn't Interfere.

An old Scotchman went to stay Tor
a short time, as he said, with friends
Of his a young couple with no family.
After living with them for some two
or three weeks the young couple began
to get tired Of their visitor, but did
not like to tell him the state Of their
feelings toward him, so they arranged
a little plan between them as to how
they would get rid Of him.
Tomorrow" said the husband,
"when l come home for dinner, l shall
quarrel about the soup and say 1t Is
not good. In the midst Of our quarrel
we will appeal to our friend, and If he
takes your part l will give him notice
to leave the house, and If he takes my
part you do just the same"
Next day at dinner the quarrel
arose about the soup, and In the heat
OF the argument uncle" was appealed
to, but he coolly replied:
eye see, ma freens, for a the time l
intend tae be here-just a month or
twa-I hae made up ma mind no tae
interfere WI yer hoose affairs"
