Interesting Triangular
Fight In "Old Eighth"
louisville Times)


While there have been many
close and exciting political
contests in the Eighth congress
sional district, none has ever
exceeded in point of interest or
intensity the triangular fight
for the Democratic nomination
for Congress in 1884 between
Gov. James B. McCreary, of
Richmond; Judge Milton J.
Durham, of Danville, and Phil
B. Thompson, Jr., of HarrOds-
burg, then Congressman from
that district.
Congressman Thompson,
who was serving his third term,
sought a denomination at the
hands Of his party and for a
time his only opponent was
Judge Durham, whom he had
defeated two years previously
for the nomination by only half
a vote in the memorable Somer-
set District Convention. After
Gov. McCreary got into the
race the Democratic District
| Committee for the first time in
the history of the Eigth district
ordered a primary election to
decide the nomination instead
of the time-honored conven-
lion method. The race became
fast and furious between the
three contenders and it was
plain at the outset that the con-
test would be for blood.
Each of the three candidates
had a large personal following
and friends who did not hest
ate to furnish a plentiful sup
ply Of money to help favorites
win the nomination. The fight
was carried into every pre-
cinct in the district and excit-
ment throughout the campaign
was at the high tide. Money
flowed like water, and it is
hardly probable that there was
ever as much spent in a con-
gressiOnal race in that district
The bitterness between the
Thompson and Durham fac
tons served to help Gov. Nc
Creary and he profited by this
condition in every county.
When the day for the primary
rolled around excitement was
high at every voting place and
the floaters reaped a harvest,
in many cases it being said that
as much as $50 was paid for a
single vote. Every inch of
ground was bitterly contested
The interior journal. [volume] (Stanford, Ky.) 1912-1984, 1916-12-12

and when the returns were all
in, which required several days
it was found that Gov. Nc
Creary had knocked the plum.
The election was by the old
viva vOce method so that the
workers were not in the dark
and could see the goods deliv-
cred.
Gov. McCreary was elected
to Congress in the succeeding
November election and served
six successive terms. While he
has had many interesting races
none approached the one in
which he gained his first CON-
gressional nomination.
