trict in Favor of Owens-A Hot Time
evitable.
Lexington, KY, Sept. 14.-Friends of
Hon. w. g. Owens here this morning are
denouncing in the most scathing terms,
Breckinridge's efforts to shadow the
name of their candidate with dishonor at
this late date. After being advised by
his friends here that Col. Breckinridge
had given out to the press here an inter
view in which he, Owens, was charged
with being elected with young woman
from Loui sville hotel, telephoned the
following statement at / o'clock this
morning: II am informed that he saws
that with a woman l represented to be
my wife, l sought admission as a guest of
some hotel in the city of Louisville, and
that admission was either refused me, or
l was required to leave the hotel after
having been admitted as guest thereof
am unable 10 learn the time
place and circumstances of the alleged
incident, and am, therefore, unable to
contradict the infamous falsehood as cir
cumstantially as ! would desire, but |
can, however, and do now pronounce the
StOIA do ullNdLbO W llb do dDSO-
lutely false, and l will further say that
al no time or place, or under any circum-
Stances did | ever, in company with a
woman represented 10 be my wife, ask to
be received at any hotel in the
city of Louisville, or elsewhere;
that at no time or place,
and under no circumstances whatever,
have been refused admission to any
hotel in Louisville or elsewhere on ac-
count of any actual or assumed relation to
any woman, or turned out any hotel in
Louisville or elsewhere on account of any
actual or assumed relation to any woman.
Without qualification l pronounce the
whole story as base and baseless falsih-
cation, made with the intention TO deceive
the democrats in the Ashland district
supporting me, and who are determined
that district shall not be dishonored "
TROUBLE INEVITABLE.
