For Treasurer, K. C. Ford Auditor, L. C. Norman Register of the Land Office, G. B. Svrango Attorney General, W. J.

Hendricks Secretary of State, Ji. S. Hale Public Instructions, £. P. Thompson Agriculture, A, It. Nalt. LOUISVILLE, June 28.—The Demo

cratic convention was called to order at 10 o'clock without prayer, and the work of choosing the other candidates was begun.

William H. Gardner of Hardin, John C. Herndon of Jefferson, W. C. Kendall of Morgan and R. C. Ford of Claycounty were placed in nomination for state treasurer.

The first ballot resulted: Gardner, 286 Ford, 270 Herndon, 172 Kendall, 91 E. Kenton of Robinson, 58. Kendall's name was withdrawn before the vote was announced.

The second ballot for state treasurer resulted: Ford, 459 Gardner, 386 Herndon, 43, thus nominating Ford.

L. C. Norman having no opposition, was unanimously nominated for auditor. He is the present incumbent.

J. J. Glenn of Hopkins, M. F. Brinkley of Pulaski, R. F. Harrison of Carroll, G. B. Swango of Wolf and A. P. McCoy of Greenup were placed in nomination for register of the land office.

The first ballot resulted: Swango, 269 Glenn, 207 Harrison, 165 Brinkley, 127 McCoy, 109.

When the rollcall was nearly completed on the second ballot Brinkley's name was withdrawn, and then changes began. In a few minutes Harrison's name was withdrawn, and more changes followed. Then McCoy was withdrawn, leaving only Swango and Glenn in. Swango got 482 1-2 votes, which nominated him. He is the first incumbent of this office ever renominated.

The present incumbent, W. J. Hendrick, was unanimously nominated for re-election as attorney general. He had no opposition.

Major Henry S. Hale, John W. Headley, Charles Metcalfe and J. Stoddard Johnston were placed in nomination for secretary of state in short speeches and the balloting began. It $yas at once evident that there was a great deal of pent up excitement over the race and before the call of counties was finished on the first ballot it was manifested. The first ballot was finally announced by the chair as Hale, 226 Metcalfe, 222 Headley, 280 Johnston, 150.

It was then moved and carried that the candidate receiving the smallest vote on the next and each succeeding ballot be dropped. Johnston and Headley withdrew from the race, leaving only Metcalfe and Hale. Then followed great confusion, many counties addressing the chair at the same time and demanding that their votes be changed. The entire Louisville delegation which had been passed announced that its entire vote would be cast for Hale, which would have insured his nomination.

The chair was asked if Mr. Johnston's name had been withdrawn, and upon receiving a negative answer, Ben Gardner, from Jefferson county, said that the Louisville delegation would then cast its vote for Johnston. The latter's name, however, had been withdrawn. Then followed a recapitulation of the vote.

During the wrangle followed the second recapitulation of the second ballot. J. B. Buskin of Louisville put in nomination the name of Walter Lincoln of Louisville for secretary of state, while the convention was a howling mob. The vote on recapitulation stood: Hale, 361 Metcalfe, 262 Johnston, 255.

The Johnston men attempted to delay the announcement of proceedings, but without effect.

Metcalfe withdrew before the third ballot was concluded in a neat speech, and urged that the nomination of Major Hale be unanimous, which was done.

After the nomination of Hale the convention resumed its business, but there was still a continual howl, which was prolonged until the adjournment.

Ed Porter Thompson of ^rankfort was named or superintendent of public instructions 0x1 the first ballot.

I. B. Nail was nominated for commissioner of agriculture byjacclamation. The convention then adjourned sine die. TROUBLE AMONG THE PUDDLERS. The Kate of Four Dollars a Ton Will Not

KIDNAPERS IDENTIFIED.

Police Have Diwo«red Who Tortured Dir. Cottle at ltuffalo. BUFFALO, June 28.—A startling and

untold part of the Cottle kidnaping sensation has been learned from one of the officials who made the investigation. This story fastens the identity of the leader of the plot. His name is John C. Emery, once a prominent citizen of Buffalo.

Some years ago Emory, who was living in Cincinnati, was arrested for violation of the postal laws. He was tried, convicted and sentenced for a long term of imprisonment, but escaped, and made his way to Canada.

After a time he opened negotiations with Mr. Cottle, who was an old friend, for securing a pardon from the governor of Ohio^and offered to spend money liberally to secure it. Mr. Cottle promised to do wiiat he could for him, and Emery paid over a large sum, said to be between $5,000 and $17,000.

Whatever Mr. Cottle may have done for his client he did not get him a pardon, and Emery demanded the return of the money, which was refused. Emery then wrote that he could not come to the United States to sue for it, but he would take other means to get it. It appears he then obtained a confederate and planned this job.

It is also learned that ever since Monday noon Edward P. Cottle, the lawyer's son, was in Fort Erie negotiating with Emery for the return of his father, Emery holding out for a larger sum than the Cottles were willing to pay. The man who drove Mr. Cottle to the Bayes street house is General Allen, also an escaped convict. The police are trying to find Emery, but so sar have been unsuccessful.

AFTER THE TRAGEDY.,

Editor Isenberg Still Alive and Likely to Recover. SOUTH ENID, O. T., June 28.—The

double tragedy here Wednesday in which D. W. Patterson, register of the United States land office, and City Marshal Williams were killed, has created the wildest excitement. Editor Isenberg's wound is serious though not necessarily fatal.

All three of the men had many friends and sides are being taken by the citizens. Isenberg came to Enid shortly after the opening, Sept. 16, 1893, and started The Daily Wave. He is a fearless fighter and writes with a pen dripping with wormwood. He has made a practice of scoring his enemies meroilessly in season and out of season. He was opposed to Patterson primarily because he was what was termed a "carpet bagger," but more on account of his being a southerner.

The Wave is a Democratic paper, but it was not favored with the land office printing, and Isenberg attributed this fact to the machinations of Patterson.

Isenberg is one of the best known newspaper men in Oklahoma. Shortly after the strip opened he was assaulted by Editor Whitaker of the North Enid Tribune, who struck him wheu he was not looking. Before he could retaliate a crowd separated them.

A coroner's jury sitting over the bodies of Patterson and Williams, returned a verdict that Williams came to his death by a shot from the pistol of Patterson while Williams was 111 discharge of his duty, and that Patterson came to his death by a pistol shot fired by Officer Williams while Patterson was resisting arrest. Williams was buried yesterday in the city cemetery. Patterson's body was shipped to Macon. It is reported that several parties have already made application for appointment to the vacancy in the land office.
