Louisville, Ky, July 1G.-The ticket:
For Governor-Morris B. Belknap, of
Louisville.
For Lieutenant GOVERNOR. b. Without.
of Ashland.
For Treasurer-John A. Black, of Bar
louisville.
For Auditor-George Welsh, of Danville.
For Attorney General-William Beck
ner. of Winchester.
For Secretary of State-J. C. Speight, of
Mayfield.
The platform adopted, after congratu-
lating the people of the United States on
the unparalleled prosperity achieved under
national Republican policies" refers to
President Roosevelt as follows
we express highest appreciation of the
record that President Roosevelt has made
in continuing the great work begun by
William Mckinley and in himself dealing
with the new problems that he had had
to solve in his handling of the Philippine
question; in his firm management of the
Venezuelan crisis, in his wise, courageous
course with the anthracite coal strike;
in his honest efforts to secure justice to
Cuba; in his zeal for the Panama Canal;
in his vigorous demands for official purity
and honesty and punishment Of the cor
rupt and dishonest; in his resolute stand
against the closing of Chinese ports to our
trade; in the success achieved by his po-
litical efforts to enforce the law against
unlawful combination and I'm the encour-
agement he has given to the laying of
cable across the Pacific, which brings us
into closer touch with the Philippines
than we were with the Louisiana territory
OF with California when acquired.
He has shown himself strong execu-
tive as he is an ideal citizen and we are
heartily and enthusiastically for his nomi-
nation for the Presidency in 1904"
The platform also denounces assassina-
ton, and lawlessness, and especially ar
raigns the governor OF Kentucky for so
exercising the pardoning power as to sub
serve political and partisan purposes, with
the certain effect of encouraging crime by
virtually rendering criminals of Demo
cratic political faith immune from punish
ment"
Nominations for governor were reached
late in the afternoon
The surprise came when the eleventh dis
trict was called and State Senator Kash
nominated for governor William o. Brad
ley in speech of the fervid style and del
egates made a tumultous demonstration
which Mr.. Bradley himself finally quelled
by shouting: Il have declared for twelve
months that | would not accept the nomi-
nation. / am an honest man, and while
thank my friends / adhere to my origi-
nal resolution. l cannot be a candidate for
governor"
Before the roll call was completed Judge
Prat withdrew his name. Mr.. Bradley
reiterated his previous statement that he
was not candidate, only to be interrupted
by a delegate, who tauntingly cried:
You're beat now
As soon as this was said and before the
had died away Mr. Bradley
turned to the point whence the taunt had
come and shouted: II don't know who
you are and / don't care. You are liar.
The interruption subsidized. The nomi-
nation of Belknap was then made unani-
NOUS After his speech of acceptance an
adjournment was taken and the rest of
the ticket completed at the night session.
