GovERNoR BRADLEF's AMBITION
Republicans of kentucky Will S,tppor
Him for President.

Him for PreSfdent.
CINCINNATI, ONO, Dec. 14.-A special
to the Post from Frankfort, KY, says ::
Governor Bradley is a candidate for Presl-
dent. 1t seems TO be settled beyond ques-
ton that he will be indorsed by Kentucky
Republicans and missionaries who go to
Washington and make the reports to
Southern and neighboring Northern States
in his behalf. Bradley fills the field with
extraordinary prestige, and his managers
are counting on the support OF six or per-
haps seven States to start with. But one
local complication has beset Bradley so
far, and that is the candidacy of FL. Clay
Evans of Tennessee for Vice-President.
Should Mckinley fail of the nomination
it is believed that Bradley, owing to
neighborly relations. would fall heir TO
majority at least of the votes OF Ohio.
