LOOKS LIKE BELKNAP
Will Be the Rep ubI!can Nominee
For Governor.
CONVENTION IN SESSION TODAY.

The Republican convention to
nominate a State ticket convened
in Louisville at the hour we go to
press.
Morris r. Belknap, of Louis
vile is the leading candidate and
will probably be the nominee for
Governor, though Attorney Gen.
eral Pratt has a strong following,
and thinks he will be the nominee,
Concerning his chances he said:
Reports received by me from
the county conventions over the
State assure me of at least one
half of the uninstructed vote. Ma
ny counties have not yet reported
which l am sure will give me first
instructions. | am well pleased
with the situation, and am in the
fight to the end"
Belknap's friends declare that he
will be nominated on the first bal
lot.
The convention'is composed of
226S delegates. Belknap's friends
claim over 1000 instructed votes,
aud Judge Pratt says he will go
into the convention with between
700 and 800 delegates. Wilson is
the weakest man IN the race.
In Jefferson county contesting
delegations were named in all the
meetings Saturday, by the boiling
followers of Mr.. A. E. Wilson.
Every mass convention was scene
of disorder, and serious clashes
between angry politicians were
narrowly averted in more than one
ward. The convention at Yer
sailles broke up in a fight. Con-
testing delegations were elected at
Frankfort.

The investments have been very
profitable, and he leaves an estate
worth over half a million, princi-
pally in Fayette AMI Raleigh coun
ties. He also owned a controlling
interest in the famous p en- Q
Springs.
Many of the old citizens of Crit.

The Democratic State central
committee in its meeting at Frank
fort this week, very plainly and
positively disapproved of the inn
ovation made by chairman Young
In his apparent arbitrary removal
of local committeeman. In Lou
isville and in Lexington the chair
man removed a number of COM
mitteemen and appointed others
in their places. Following this
precedent the chairmen of county
committees in the Third Judicial
district we're removed at a time a
judicial primary was pending.
These arbitrary removals are un.
democratic, and the decisive &C
ton of the committee in disap-
proving them and reinstating the
old committees was timely, and
the party and State central CON-
mittee are to be congratulated
upon the wise course pursued.
