Maybe so, but he'll never touch it,

Uncle Paul relapsed INTO silence and
the bow of his pope glowed in the dusk.
I was silent, too. He had set my
thoughts travelling on a road they had
often trod before. The question of a
nominee bothered me. l had spoken of
it two or three times to Jimmy War
field before I left him at Louisville, but
in his light way he had been either eva
sive or careless. Judge Wharton, in good
truth, would make an admirable Cover
nor, but he was welded to the Court of
Appeals. Surveying the field, I could
not see any available material. Was IL
possible that Grey might secure the
nomination by default? 1t was the first
time such a thought had come to me
and / shuddered at it.

in it's deliberations 1t was my first

/ changed it and walked out into the
country to steady my nerves.
/ must have walked two or three
hours-I was not able to take thought
OF time-and with my mingled emotions
under better control, | turned back to
the city. and entered my hotel. The
first man who met me there was Grey
himself, and all his true nature showed
at once. He seemed to make no effort
to keep his passions under, but, his
face flushed and his hands clinching
and unclinching. reproached me with
foul names and personal abuse.
"Stop."I said-I had made up my
mind to take no nonsense from him

p~orters, / was against you, ] told you
that frankly. and if l have friends

"It is secret! Underhand! You are
always in my way!' he said thickly.
I hate a vulgar brawl, and I was very
glad at that moment to see Harrison
approaching. He had recovered his
self-command. and was once more his
light and jeering self. He put his hand
upon Grey's arm and his touch was the
command of the superior man to the
inferior. Grey seemed to shrink physi-
cally.
Come, Mr.. Grey" said Harrison
calmly. I'VE are not beaten yet. Mr..
Clarke. as he says. has a right to run,
although he had never led us to expect
such a thing
IT did not expect it myself" I said,
and then angry that | should have said
a single word of a defensive nature,
added:
But had it been otherwise, 1t would
rot have altered my right"
Grey's wrath was about to blaze up
again, but his manager checked him.
THAT is true said Harrison. Come.
Mr.. Grey. We can't wish you good
luck in this instance. Mr.. Clarke"

turned away. and then went up to my
room. where | awaited the end. That

a man. They were calling for a business
administration, the aged speaker con-
tinued. Well, his nominee would give
them one. They were calling for
method, order and economy; his nomi-
nee would give them as much of those
things as they liked or could stand;
they wanted a man who would lead the
"%strenuous life" his candidate already
led it, and did not know how to lead
any other; they wanted a young man;
his candidate had youth to pare.
The venerable orator paused here,
and ] sat up in wonder. There was
deep silence, too, in the hall, a " for
the tense breathing of the delegates
and the spectators. / saw a look of
amazement on Harrison's face; clearly
he was as puzzled as | about the un-
known paragon, who was about to be
put in nomination, but his look of sur
prise was reinforced by a look of alarm.

He turned his gaze fun upon me as
he pronounced my name and | was
d~umfounded. | had never aspired TO
such an honor, / had never dreamed OF
1t. Now | understood why they had
been willing for me to leave the room
the night before. why they had kept
me out of the secret. | looked at
jimmy warheld, and his face bore a
broad smile of confidence, comrade
ship and congratulation. Then |
glanced at Harrison and ! met a furl-
GUS gaze, so full of rage and accusa-
ton, that / was startled. He seemed TO

nomination., but / could not let my
self be browbeaten by H~arrison-he
had no claim on me, just the con
trary-and settling back in my seat, !

fance.

YOU were our only chance, and we

Synonds and the Grey GROVE were ON

once. Good cause they had. 1t was
really no task to beat that fellow GREE
after the opposition was consolidated.
Most of the little fellows dropped ont
at once in your favor, leaving only two
in, besides Grey and yourself. The first
ballot gave you a majority of eighty
over Grey, but not q majority over all.
On the second the two remaining little
fellows withdrew, and you received
more than two-thirds the vote of the
convention.
Harrison has a good nerve. He rose.
and, without a sign of chagrin, moved
that the nomination be made unani-
NOUS. 1t was done, and you are the
Democratic nominee for Governor OF
Kentucky. It's a big honor, Harry

interest centred on the governorship,
because of it's uncertainty. Grey had
continued his campaign with great
vigor, that is with the use of money
which he thought so effective, and
Harrison was still acting as his heu-
tenant. There We're five or six other
candidates, all obscure mediocre men,
though respectable.
When 7 reached the city I saw that
the C~ey delegates and supporters were
arriving in great force, with all the
whoop and noise that impress the un-
observant so much.
The first day was a series Of UNI
broken triumphs for Grey. Harrison
controlled the convention and carried
everything as he wished it to go.
We held a meeting that eVenlng IN
Judge Wharton's room and | brought
up the subject of his candidacy, but
he would not hear to it, declining with
an emphasis that was little short of
being abrupt. Then we talked about
three hours, and as before all the talk
came to nothing | felt sick DIS
gusted. and as all my suggestions had
been snubbed | decided to leave the
meeting, go to my own room and sleep
If / could.
The morning passed on and the time
for the nominations came. Harrison
put the name of Grey before the dele
gates and he did it extremely well. nc
sat down amid thunders of applause,
which died, rose and died again and
again. When they died for he last
