The developments in the Senatorial contest indicate that it is Proctor Knott agaiust the field. Last night Proctor Knott had tue support of the western section of the State, white Carlisle, Lindsay and McCreary represented" the central and eastern portions Buokner is a possibility only in case of a deadlock. Tandgay has unexpectedly fallen to; place. This is a surprise to friends and enemies alike. It is accounted for on the ground that he is too aristocratic for the "boys." Another development of the is that all the candidates except are combined against Carlisle, and the result will be a political feud which will affect Kentucky politics for years tn come.

There is even now bitter feeling. Carlisle has but two rooms. His son is with him, but not taking a hand in the fiiiht. Congressman Stone, who had roomi, gave them up and left for Washington last night, convinced hlf is not in it. Knott IIHS seven rooms and McCreary eight.

Lindsay is not yet on the ground. Prom advices received it is certain that hundreds of Democrats will be here on Monday to boom their candidates. The caucus is called for Monday night. There will be 116 yotcSj 59 necessary to a A shrewd party. that on the first ballot, were it to occur now, Carlisle would have 31; McCreary, Knott, 36; Lindsay, 17, McCrpai-y's vote will never go to Carlisle, neither will Lindsay's, but Knott's would, if necessary.

Superintendent of tlio C'eiiauB Porter i.ioued the follwwinn order: To StuwTrieora of the Census: It bucn brought to tbu attention of the Su- periMteiudent of the Census that the oijy councils and boards of trade of certain wwteru oitiea have appropriated sums pf nuney to aid the census Bupervisors in the enumeration of the population. While it be urged by some that such a proceeding ia legitimate and merely intended to help the government to a fair and full enumeration, I an compelled to look up it as an almost irresistible temptation to rand, and at consequently to.ap ilOWfflli OOUttt of the people. If tolerated by ti is office it would have a tendency to bring the whole census into disrepute.

You arw therefore positively instructed not to re ceive any such compensation yourself, n'or countenance instant the payment of any sum of money whatever by municipalities, associations or persons to enumerators. Any supervisor of the census who is not content with the remuneration allowed iy law, which is double the amount ptid in 1880, ahould at once resign. The eleventh census must and shall be above suspicion; to tolerate any action on the iart of muuicpalities, associations, organizations or individual, no powerful they iiiay be, i has for the purpose the debauching or which would even render the slighesl taint upon the of the returns, would in my opinion be nothing short of a crime against the people of thp United States This whole matter, together with facts in possession of this office, has been before the Honorable Secretary of tho Interior, and the action of the superintendent of the census in placing every legitimate obstacle at his command in tho of- the distribution of local funds for this purpose, with the approval.
