TAYLOR NAMED FOR GOVERNOR By Kentucky Republicans at Their State Convention. NO OPPOSITION IS SHOWN Negro Republicans Dissatisfied at Result and Will Bolt. The Kentucky republican state con¬ vention adjourned at Lexiugton Thurs¬ day night, after being in continuous session since 9 a. m. What was called the Deboe-Taylor slate for the most part was ratified. Before the convention assembled moBt of tho delegates were for Taylor for governor, and when the nomina¬ tion for governor was reached about all of them were for Taylor. In the contest for minor places there was a vociferous flow of Kentucky oratory. The ticket completed is as follows: For Governor— XV. S. Taylor, of Lexington. For Lieutenant Governor—John Marshall, of Louisville. For Secretary of State—Caleb Pow¬ ers, of Knox county. For Attorney General—Cligton J. Pratt. For Auditor of State—John S. Sweeney, of Bourbon State—Walter county. R. For Treasurer.of Day, of Breathitt. Hon. J. AY. Yerkes before the nom¬ inations were made, presented a unan¬ imous r. port from the committee on resolutions and it was adopted. The resolutions in part are as follows: “We pledge the republican party of Kentucky to the enactment of all such laws as may be necessary to prevent trusts, pools, combinations or other organizations from combining to de¬ preciate below its real value, or to en¬ hance the cost of any article, or to re¬ duce the proper emoluments of labor. “We congratulate the republican party that existing federal legislation for the suppression of harmful trusts, pools and combinations is the work of a republican congress, performed dur¬ ing the administration of a republican president, and we congratulate the country that in suppression of injuri¬ ous combinations, republican legisla¬ tion has had ir. the past, as it will have in the future, due regard for the in¬ terests of legitimate business, the purposes of such legislation being the remedy for the wrong and not the em¬ barrassment to industry, enterprise or thrift. “We indorse, without reserve, the administration of President McKinley and congratulate the American people upon the condition of prosperity and happiness resulting from the wisdom and patriotism which he has brought to the discharge of his public duties. “We declare our confidence in the policies adopted and the measures taken by the president to restore order and to establish progressive govern¬ ment in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines and we pledge him our continuous support until these objects are fully attained. “We reaffirm our adherence to the principles and to policies proclaimed by the last republican convention ex¬ cept as to the civil service. “We regal'd it as settled beyond dis¬ pute that the maintenance of a sound currency through republican adminis¬ tration and legislation is the founda¬ tion upon which rests the most remark¬ able period of industrial progress, commercial activity and general pros¬ perity within the experience of the people of the United States. “We commend the present amend¬ ment of civil service rules by the pres¬ ident and declare our belief that further modifications of existing civil service legislation may be made with advantage to the public service.” Some of the negroes of Lexington are dissatisfied with the nomination of General Taylor for govenor and an effort will be made by them to defeat him. A number of prominent negroes of the city and Louisville held a meet¬ ing Thursday afternoon and decided to place a negro ticket in the field this fall. A conference will be held in Louisville and a ticket nominated. They have no idea of winning, but they claim they will cause Taylor to lose the colored vote. GORE HORSES FOR OTIS. Secretary Alger Wbl Buy Needed An* imals In the Southern States. A dispatch has been received at Washington from General Otis re¬ questing that there be sent to the Philippines 2,500 horses in order that a brigade of cavalry may be organized for use at the end of the rainy season. General Otis has tried the horses of Manila and nearby countries, but none of them seem to be available for caval¬ ry. It is the intention of Secretary Alger to have the mounts carefully se¬ lected, and he thinks that anamals from the southern states, not too heavy, but tough and wiry, will be the best. _______ WORKING FOR COTTON MILL. Citizens of iTontezuma, Ga., Hay Build Factory Costing $100,000. The Montezuma, Ga., cotton mill committee, consisting of Messrs. J. W. Haygood, W. M. Lewis, J. W. McKenzie, G. Lippman and Hon.J.J. Easterling, is visiting the various mills of middle and north Georgia. If these mills are found to be in a pros- perous condition Montezuma will be- gin at once to raise sufficient money to build a factory to gost $100,000. THE STATE FAIR. Rapid Progress Being Made In Preparations For the Com¬ ing Event At Atlanta. Applications for space continue to to come in and Secretary Martin is kept busy answering letters. The old Peace Jubilee committee will co-operate with the attraction committee of the fair in spending the. $650 left over in special features for Atlanta day. * * * For the first time since its invention the presses and gins of the round bale system will Vie publicly exhibited at the fair this fall. Many have had an opportunity of seeing the round bale and the machinery for baling it, but it Las never before been placed ou exhi¬ bition at a state fair exposition. The best horse racing that Georgia has enjoyed for years will take place on jthe fair grounds. Six thousand dollars will be given in prizes, maybe more. Already a great number of in¬ quiries, showing the interest that the meet is arousing, have come in from over all the country. At a recent meeting of the executive committee it was decided to offer $500 in premiums for high bred dogs. This department will be an adjunct to the poultry aud pet stock display and will be one of the most interesting features of the fair. There are a number of owners and fanciers of fine dogs throughout the state, who have signi¬ fied their intention of sending entries to the fair, and the bench show will be one of the largest ever held in the state. ; The forthcoming state fair at Atlanta will be rich in what is known as “at¬ tractions.” The committee on attrac¬ tions is in receipt of numerous letters from parties in various parts of the country who want to bring the fair unique and interesting attractions. Among them is a man in Omaha who has a pair of diving horses and elks; a Balloon company which makes a specialty of novelty balloon ascen¬ sions; Charley Kinzer’s trotting dogs, which have been exhibited all over the country; and Miss Peek, who per¬ forms a daring bareback horse act. All of these communications were referred to Secretary Martin, who an¬ swered each of them, and asked for for specific information concerning the different attractions and the prices that would he asked. The best of these attractions will probably be brought to Atlanta. Already a “made- to-order” collision between two loco¬ motives has been arranged for. This, in connection with other attractions, will make the amusement feature one of the most interesting of the fair. HILL ELECTED CHANCELLOR. , of Succeeds Dr. Boggs As Head the Georgia State University. Hon. Walter B. Hill, of Macon was elected chancellor of the Georgia State university Thursday. Ouly two bal- lots were cast. Mr. Hill receiving seven votes on the first ballot and twelve on the second. His election was then declared unanimous. The meeting of the board of trus¬ tees convened in the chamber of the supreme courtroom at Atlanta. The meeting was held in executive session and there was a full attendance of the twenty-one members of the board, Chairman McDaniel presiding. The candidates before the board were Dr. H. C. White, ex-Cbancellor Boggs and Hon. Walter B. Hill. A resolution was adopted making the duties of the new chancellor the same as those of the retiring chancel¬ lor until further action by the board to the contrary. This will make Chan¬ cellor Hill, at least until the Novem¬ ber meeting of the board, the occupant of the chair of mental and moral science. MORE OIL SEIZED. Two Tanks At Savannah, Ga., Locked Up By the State. The sensational feature of the oil investigation at Atlanta, Ga •, came Thursday when Colonel John Screven, oil inspector at Savannah, filed his re¬ port with Commissioner of Agriculture O. B. Stevens. The contents of the report, though every effort was made to keep them secret, show that two tanks of oil in Savannah, which is the distributing point of the Standard Oil company in the southern part of the state, have been seized and locked by Inspector Screven. The amount of oil in the tanks which are held in the name of the state is not known to the department of agriculture or to Inspector Stevens. The capacity of the tanks is very great, and it is believed that probably a half million gallons are contained in them. Loss of Tobacco Growers.
