COMPLICATED STATE OF AFFAIRS
One Man Fopnllt Bolrti the Key
tu Ihs SlIuatloDf and He Named
PoorRspublican Want It
Louisville Ky December SO It Is
hard to concelvo of a more Interesting or
remarkable complication of affairs than
that which now obtains ln tho Kentucky
senatorial fight In the hands of one man
It Is now believed lies the solution so
far ns the democratlo hopes are con-
cerned That man Is a populist and
the latest political gossip Is that this
mem tier as nn Inducement to vote with
the democrats will bo allowed to name
tho next United States senator from Ken-
tucky lo sucoecd Joseph C S Black-
burn and for tho man whom ho names
tho sixtyeight democratic members of tho
general assembly will cast their votes
as will also tho other populist house XIr
Edrlngton provided that In order to se-
cure Mr Edrlngtons vote tho cholco
lights upon Mr Blackburn
Tho man to whom It Is said this power
has or will bo given Is Mr Poor tho
populist member from Pendleton county
Even should tho scheme to secure him
meet with success thero aro a number
of collateral condlllons which must also
exist before tho democrats can snatcn
tho senatorial brand fiom tho burning
Tho principal ono of these Is that tho
republicans shall have not unseated nny
of tho democratic members against whom
contest proceedings nro now pending
A Bummaiy of the situation In a few
words is tins
tJz U oP ulst Voor Breo to vote
ir Lne her ackburn Populist Ed
r ngton will do likewise and tho slxty
clgnt iemocratlc legislators will gladly
Join rather than seo a republican go Ui
tho senate The sound money wuig of
tho party will waive all objections to Mr
Blacliburns financial views
it Populist Poor agrees to vote with
the democrats nnd name a man other than
Mr Blackburn Mr Edrlngton will votu
with thu republicans and ihe ballot will
result In a tie
3 if tho ballot ts a tie then It will bo
ncciMir > for tho repubt cans to unseat a
i m2crai Kuurnan of Lexington
being i tho i i
bright particular mark It Is
thought that tho unseating of Mr Kauf
man can be easily accomplished
Hero comes in another pretty llttlo
complication It Is claimed by the re
publicans that under the letter or the
law Hie balloting for senator can not be
gin until tho second Tuesday after organ
isation which would be January 21 The
democrats aio working on a plan how
ever lo force ballotlnir on tho Tuesdny
previous under a technical construction
pf the statute and the point of It Is that
by quickening action tho republ cans will
bo deprived of valuable time In which to
accomplish tho unseating of Mr Kauf
man Tho scheme was incubated in an
Ingenuous bruin nnd It would certainly
prove a Borneo of uneasiness nnd by
means of a llttlo llllbustcrlng might fa
tal y delay tepubllcan proceedings
against Mr Kaufman and thereby in
sure the election of a democrat
An It stind on roll call the legslature
Is tin exact llo between the republicans
and democrats The special election In
tho Fortyeighth leglslntlve district of
this ety resulted In a disappointment to
tho republicans and although Ihern has
been homo llitfo talk nf attempting to
unseat exSeaJier Carroll who was elect
ed fiom thnt district It Is conceded bv
the more conservative leaders that such
a course would be unwise This race In
partliular was a remarkable one ns upon
it depended tho sttength of the republl
cans In tho legislature without the os
sistnrcfl of both populists
On the morning of the general election
that In which tho republicans carilM the
Statu and elected enough members of the
legislature to tie the demoerate roster
A J Carroll nnd Charles 17 Shrevo wero
presumably before the people for election
Mr Shrove was the republican nomlncf
but It wis discovered shortly after tho
polls opend nnd tho discovery as well
mav bo InuuUnid created a great sen
Falnn thnt his name wns not on the
billo Upon Inqury It was learned that
ho had Etvernl diys before tho election
quietly withdrawn from the race with-
out notifying his party nnd the demo-
cratic county clerk lind not thought It
nece sary to Impart this Informatoti to
tho enemy Mr Carroll wn3 accordingly
elcited without opposition despite the
fact thnt the republicans had been moving
heaven and earth to carry thla particular
dlsirct
As a result there was a grent hue nnd
cry raised bv the republican press of the
State mil the demand was peremptorily
made that Mr Cat roll relgn ns his
chair It wns claimed wns tnlnled with
fraud nnd tho people hail been deprived
of their rght to niunn n repre entntlvo
pf their choice Mr Cnrrol denied that
ho hnd been concerned In nnv way In
Mr Shreves withdrawal nnd nssprtril
Mint It had been accomplished without
his participation or ndvlce Nevertheless
he consented to resign nnd run the rare
over nenln This he did nnd nccordlngly
a rneclnl election was ordered bv tho gov-
ernor at which ho was again vlctorous
defallnc tho renubllcnn notnlneo and
maintaining thn tie In tho legature
As between tho various candidate for
the senate there peems in be no doubt
thnt cither Auenslue 13 Wllon or Con
gressmnn W Godfrey Hunter vtll be
dioscn bv the renuhllcans should ono of
thnt pirtv bo named Mr Hunter has
