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.
