members of the commission will likely be Jno Carroll of Henry and Wilbur Browder of Logan Some one iflade a big blunder yesterday afternoon When the train on which Mr Brown and family arrived there any carriages at the depot to carry them to the mansion where they had been invited by Goyernor Buckner So they all had to crowd into an old omnibus along with a lot of passengers who were to go to South Frankfort The driver of this is not endowed with any too much sense and instead of taking Mr Brown and family direct to Governor which was only a square from the depot he drove them over to South Frankfort with the other passengers and then brought them back over the to the mansion This was certainly ROUGH TREATMENT of the new family upon their first arrival in the city and the Escort Committee whose duty it was to have carriages at 1 the depot are catching Hail Columbia on all sides for this gross carelessness Besides his wife and interesting daughtersMr Brown was accompanied by

invoked the divine blessing to rest on the beautiful State of Kentucky and asked His aid to help in the coming administration Hon Edmund II Taylor introduced Governor Buckner who read his address from manuscript The large crowd listened attentively while he in clear tones made his farewell address The speech was considered rather short When Governor Buckner had finished his address Hon Mangan Mayor

Begins to Arrive Early in the Action The advance guard of the crowd began to arrive Sunday and by Mon' day morning a very good number of people were in the city The early trains in the morning brought many more distinguished persons but the greatest crowds poured into the city on the late afternoon trains from Louisville and Lexington Members of the Con Con came in in large numbers as also did the newly elected members of the next Legislature and the scene last night in the lobby of the Capital Hotel where every one was button-holeing every one else reminded one of some exciting State convention event Persons who want positions under the incoming administration and those who are looking for Legislative appointments were busy soliciting the influence of some prominent man and asking for his help in getting their appointment Smith Cook the Kentucky giant was on hand mixing with the members of the new Legislature asking their support for Doorkeeper but it is opinion that the giant will get left this time Green Kellar was on hand shaking hands with all his old acquaintances and forming new ones It is said that he is on a red hot chase after the Clerkship in the next House Mr George Castle of Lawrence county was also grasping everyone he knew and telling them in no uncertain tones that he was a candidate for Ser-geant-at-Arms of the Senate and was going to get there too without fail Everyone had something to say about the Speakership race which by the way 1 IT IS GETTING VERY HOT It is the impression of the majority here that Harvey Meyers is not in it and the race will be between Moore of Harrison and Tom Petti tt of Daviess with the chances in favor of Pettitt Should Pettitt be elected Urey Woodson the pleasant little editor of the Owensboro Messenger would go wild Urey says however that Pettitt the least show in the world of being elected but then Urey said Pettitt be elected to the Legislature and yet he was by over 800 majority so sly Thomas may pull the speaker- The Procession Does Not Get Off Until After 11 Speeltl to The Liadie Frankfort Ky September 1 The Capity City today holds the largest crowd that has ever been inside of its gates Five years ago when the centennial was held here they had a big crowd but the number of people here today exceeds that crowd several thousand The weather has been perfect The sun never shone on a prettier sight than greeted the visitors this morning Long lines of beautifully uniformed military paraded the streets gaily plumed officers mounted on spirited horses galloped up and down the lines of troops hands played on all sides while handsome marshals in gaudy sashes rushed here and there the whole producing a scene seldom witnessed anywhere Before daylight almost people began to four into the city From all directions and by 10 a person could scarcely force his way through the moss of human beings who thronged the streets Large crowds completely packed the commodious State House yard long before the pror cession started The trains from Lexington and Louisville came in loaded down The Louisville Legion was on the latter train Their appearance on the streets created somewhat of a sensation The military was some time getting into line It was 11:20 before the cannon on Fort Hill pealed forth the signal for the parade to start The first division got under headway marchingto theExecutive mansion and became the escort to Governor Buckner and Governor-elect Brown After this the second and third divisions fell into line and the march was begun over town The streets along the line of march were packed with interested spectators who cheered the old and new Governors as they passed in a carriage Directly following the carriage containing tlie distinguished gentlemen was one which contained Lieutenant-Governors Bryan and Alford After these came a long line of carriages containing State officials and prominent politicians In the carriages with distinguished gentlemen were members of the Escort Committee composed of prominent citizens of Frankfort whose names are given in another place ON THE STAND Prominent Kentuckians Who Occupied Places of Honor Special to The Leascb Frankfort September At 12:15 the head of the procession reached the State-House where it disbanded While the band played the soul-stirring air Governor Buckner and Governor-el Brown were escorted to the stand They were followed by prominent men who were seated brown on the platform Among those noticed on the stand were the family of Governor Brown PUBLIC SALE All Frankfort on the Streets and Most of the State Besides Almost all Frankfort was on the streets last night Men women and children passed leisurely along viewing with satisfaction the gay decorations which show prettily under the dazzling electric lights Mingling with the crowds on the streets were the brave officers of the State Guard which is in encampment near here The handsomely uniformed men gave a very pleasing effect to the scene and everywhere they were the center of all eyes and especially did the female portion of the population seem to le perfectly carried away with the gallant defenders of the honor The soldier boys each had a pretty girl on his arm as he promenaded the streets and the gay chatter was kept up until late in the night The other boys were not in it and so retired from the field of action quite early THE APPOINTMENTS Will be announced today Some of them have already been given' to the public Mr Brown-however has steadily refused to give his out for publication It is pretty well settled among the newspaper boys that the following slate has been fixed by tbe Governor-elect: Adjutant-General Jack Gross of Breckinridge county Private Secretary Archie Brown: Secretary of State II Headley of
