THE BRUNSWICK TIMES.
VOLUME 8, NO. 96.
THEIR ONLY HOPE
IS A COMPROMISE.
The Kentucky Republicans Are Ap
parently Lost if Hunter
Pails.
CHOICE OF ANY ONE IS DOUBTFUL.
It Does Not Seem Likely That Any Compra
mise Candidate Can Be Seleoted, Ow
ing to Leaders’ Determination.
Frankfort, Ivy., April 23.—Unless
the Republicans determine upon a
compromise man as the party nomi
nee to take the place of Dr. W. God
frey Hunter it seems certain that there
will be no United States senator from
Kentucky this year. Even if Deboe
should be nominated now so much
feeling has been engendered that it
would be as impossible for him to win
as it was for Dr. Hunter.
This would be equally as true if
Judge Holt should be nominated, and
it now seems that the only hope of the
Republican party in Kentucky is to
get together on a compromise man.
Colonel St. John Boyle broke just such
a deadlock during the winter of 189(1,
the contending candidates being De
boe and Holt, and the present bitter
feeling between the factions is aug
mented by the remembrances of the
occurrences of that tight as well as the
present.
However, it does not seem likely that
a compromise man will be selected just
now, as the two leaders seem deter
mined to tight it out between them
selves. Compromise men are here in
abundance, though, and Congressmen
Evans, Lewis, Colsin and Pugh are
ready to be taken up on a popular
wave, to say nothing of hundreds of
smaller fry who are eagerly awaiting
so ne upheaval that may put them on
top.

THE MARKETS.
Quotations By Telegraph For The Times’
Commercial Readers.
(Paine, Mmphy & Co.'s New Yoik stock letter.)
Savannah, Ga., April 23 —The stock
market was dull today and largely
professional. The situation in Europe
pending decision war developments
kept the arbitrage people out of spec
ulation, but notwithstanding this fact
the international listed stocks gener
ally ruled higher than last night’s
close. The bear faction was active in
some parts of the industrials. Amer
ican security stocks suffered further
declines. Sugar was made strong on
covering, and Chicago gas held well
against bear attack, accompanied by
unfounded reports of reduction in the
price of gas on the North Side, Chi
cago, The market closed dull and
generally firm. Government bonds
unchanged.
(Paine, Murphy Sc Cos ’b Chicago grain letter.)
Savannah, April 23.—With the ex
ception of a sharp break immediately
following the opening, wheat lias
shown a firm and upward tendency
today, selling \'/ 2 cents per bushel
over yesterday’s close. The rally
which followed was the result of a
good cash business, aggregating about
120,000 bushels all told. On the whole
the situation at the close is much more
favorable to holders, and the market
has a firm appearance. Clearances
were fair, 208,000 bushels.
Corn has been strong. Some local
trade were the best buyers, although
the trade on the whole has not been
large. Provisions have been firm,
with offerings rather light.
The Cotton Market.
