A Dog Fall.

The Republican County Convention was
called to order, as advertised, in the Odd
| Fellows Hail. Saturday afternoon, at 2
o'clock, and all the hustle and hustle of
! the Republican leaders in the county for
several days, the result was a dog fall.
Each faction claiming they got what they
wanted.
I Robt. L Corey, a Bradley man, de-
feated Prof. w. L. Yerkes for Chairman
! of the convention. This knocked the
wind out of the Yerkes crowd, and if the
! Bradley crowd had followed up the punch
with another blow, they could have easily
gained every point desired. But Mr.
Earlywine, the ex-Private Secretary of
the Ex-Governor, uncorked a bottle of
! Republican oratory, and while he was
| speaking the Yerkes crowd got their wind
| back nd affected compromise.
| 1t was resolved that the delegates be
instructed to cast the % votes of Bourbon
at the State convention for w. o. Bradley,
John w. Yerkes, E. E. Underwood and
Richard p. Ernst for delegates from the
State-at-Large. They were also instructed
to cast their votes for Messrs. Cannon and
| Combs at the district convention which
convenes in Paris.
The following is the list of delegates to
attend the district convention, which
convenes in Paris to-day:

Judge Denny'S chances were knocked
into smitherines by DR.. Hickman, our
colored physician and orator, who in his
speech said that Judge Denny had once
remarked, 'the negro was a milestone
around the neck of the Republican party"
now let's put that milestone around Den
ny'S neck 1t was put there in good style
by the colored brethren, for after Hick-
man jumped. the whole drove went over
he hurdle.
A few respectable white Republicans
and one or two renegade white Democrats
and a large and enthusiastic crowd of
negroes filled the hall to suffocation.
SERIOUSLY ILL.-The Maysville Bulletin
of yesterday, says: Mr.. J. H. Walling-
ford, of Paris, who has been visiting Mr..
and Mr.. c. D. Russell, last evening re-
ceived long distance telephone message
stating that his wife was very seriously i'll
and would have to undergo a delicate
surgical operation this morning. He left
on the early train.
The men who know most about the po-
litical situation in Kentucky say least
about it:
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT and his close
political advisers recognize New York,
New Jersey, Indiana and Illinois as doubt
full States in the coming Presidential cleo
ton, and urge upon the party managers
the necessity of concentrating their ener-
gies in carrying the same.
