Just how much of © protectionist he is now is not so clear. If his old asso ciates can convince him that a new tariff bill will restore prosperity to the country he will support it. But he follows this up with the distinct declaration that they can- not convince him of anything of the kind. His voice is still for silver. Mr. Gorman spoke for that somewhat un- classifiable faction which while fev sound money voted tor free silver, while favoring free trade at the polls votes | for protection duties in Congress and now you don’t.

One of these | men is Governor isradley—a man of hearty ress, an excelient mixer, an attractive stump speaker, i 4 good lawyer. Th other man is Congressman Godfrey Hunt @ stient man, @ thorough organizer, and a tireless worker. He may with appropri- ateness be called the Platt, or the Qu Bluegrass staie. He plans a ba of the able candidate available. And Dr. Hunter was as easily chosen to conduct the cam- paign. His capacity as an organizer, and bis familiarity with work in that line, united to make him a most acceptable chairman. The canvass was begun under the most favorable auspices. In a very short time, however, a differ- | epce of opinion arose between the candidate sand the chairman as to what the republi- cans might with reason promise themselves. Colonel Bradley thought that the success of the state ticket was as much as coukl with safety be played for. He favored a ation of effort th@re. But Dr. Hunter had larger views. He thought that the legislature also could be captured, and he began making play for that along with his play for ‘the state ticket. He had his ewn eye fixed on the Senate. There was no open rupture between the candidate for sovernor and tie chairman, but all through the closing of the campaign they watched each other pretty sharply. ‘Tue result confirmed Dr. Hunter's judg- ment. The state ticket won by some ten thousand majority, and the legislature as ween the republicans and democrats was a ti The friends of Dr. Hunter at once in: ed that had his efforts to secure the legisiature along with the state ticket been property assisted by the friends of Colonel Bradley, a safe republican majority in the legislature would have been secured, and a r iblican successor to Mr. Blackburn ade a certainty., : ‘The repubticans were installed in the state offices in December last, and the new legis- lature met in January. Two populists, one with republican, the other with democratic, leanings, held the balance of power. The play was to secure their votes. The demo- cratic caucus nominated Mr. Blackburn. Tne republican caucus nominated Dr. Hunter. But there were several democrats wno wouid not support Mr. Blac&burn, and several republicans who were unfriendly to Dr. Hunter. A deadlock followed. In an effort to capture the two populist members Dr. Hunter committed himself over his sig- nature io what was construed as a state- ment friendly to silver. The paper was published, and it proved fatal to its author's candidacy. He retired from the race, and John Boyle of Louisville became the dlican caucus nominee. But he was couce rep unable to win, and the legislature adjourned Without clecting a Senator. A number of vacancies in the legislature having occurred by death or otherwise, elections were ordered to fill them. The vote took place in November, and the re- publicans won. The result is that the republicans now have a clear majority on joint ballot, and the senatorship is within their grasp without the necessity of a dicker with the populists. ee the old fight is renewed. Although . John Boyle claims still to te the caucus nines the caucus, if is pleases, may Gepose him and make another nomination. The Bradley people suspect Dr. Hunter of having his plans arranged to try for the office again, and hence the toying with the tion of an extra sessi No extra s on, no Senator. ‘The Hunter people, for their part, charge Governor Bradley with the disposition “to run everything.” He was elected, they claim, to serve the people four years in the governor's office, and net to run for Senate, or try to force a candidate of hi ewn for that office on the legislature. ‘There are others whose exclamation “A plague on both your houses! Give the party a Senator. There is an excellent field to choose from. What's the matter with St. John Boyle, or John W. Yerkes, or Waler Evans, or John W. Lewis, or A.
