The Disgruntled Old Reprobate,
Breckenridge Running for Congress.

Frankfort Ky, Oct. 15.-The Seventh
district Republican convention met
here today and resolved itself into
convention and nominated w. c. P
Breckenridge as the party's candidate
for congress.
This means that the name of Colonel
Breckenridge, who has already been
nominated by the National Democrats,
viii go under the Republican device on
the ballot It also practically fnsures
the election of the ex-congressman af-
ter one term of private life following
feated him in his race for reelection
two years ago.
BY a remarkable steadfastness of
purpose, Col. Breckenridge has lived
down the disgrace that involved his
name and the story of two years ago
is seldom referred to by his opponents.

from Reed from Chicago that Watson
was too sick to start and that we should
wire him direct. We wired him yes
terday, and have telegraphed him
three times today, and as yet have had
no answer. I am afraid that he Is
sick and that the doctor won't let them
give him the messages. I think that
he viii surely come to Kansas before
the campaign closes. 1t Is not likely
that he viii come here now. In fact,
it is too late for him to start now, if
he has not started, and get here IN time
to keep the appointments we have
made.
Il telegraphed him asking him If he
could not come, who he wanted to sTeak
in his place but have not heard any
thing from him. We will try to go
ahead and hold the large meetings we
have advertised"

HIS SPECIAL TRAIN

Atlanta, Ga. Oct 15.-In view Of the
alarming reports in circulation con
cerning the condition of Thomas E.
Watson, The Journal this morning tel
egraphed Mr. WatsOn's physicians for
an official statement of his patient S
condition To this the following reply
has been received.
Ihe impression has been created by
some papers that Mr.. Watson has been
and is now quite i'll with throat and
lung trouble, While another so misstated
the facts and misrepresented Mr. Wat
son as to state that he was not sick at
all, but pretending to be from some
cause, that he was out looking after
ms dlfferent farms in the country, etc.
In justice to Mr.. Watson, I state
that when he returned from his last
speaking tour his throat was in a fear
1ul condition, in a mass of liberation
ana his general system was beginning
to be impaired by it, but it soon yielded
to treatment and he is now in his usual
good health, except the local trouble in
his throat which is very much improved
and L think it viii be entirely well in a
few days Yet I positively object to
MI Watson making any more speeches
at present. (Signed)
E S. HARRISON NJ D.
DR.. Harrison sent the above state
ment to Watson before delivering it to
The Journal correspondent. Mr. Wat
son returned it with the following en-
dorsement:

BREIDENFHAL RETURNS.
Says That Watson's Proposed Trip to
Kansas is Now InnossihIa-


Chairman BreidenthaI got home from
Chicago at noon. He was tired and
warm and reticent about the meeting
of the national committee
When asked if he knew whether
Watson would come to Kansas. he
said:
''Weu not this trip"
What do you mean, will he come at
all before the campaign closes Q"
Il don't know"
What did the committee do in refer
ence to him?''
Nothing further than what was pub
lished"
"WiH the address issued by the com
mittee have any effect on Watson s
conduct during the rest of the cam
paign?''
I don't know. There has been a
great deal of talk about an agreement
1t turns out that the chairman of the
Georgia delegation at the st. Louis
convention telegraphed Watson. in or
der to get him to accept the nomina-
tion, that it had been agreed that Sew
all would withdraw. There was no
such agreement that anyone under
stood"
Did Watson understand that there
was such an agreement2"
Il don't know. It seems Reed did
What is Buffers and Washburn's
object in going to call on Watson?"
Il don't know. They just went home
that way"
DO You think it is certain that Wat
son viii not come here during the cam
paign at a1?''
Il did not say so. He is a notionate
man.
Wen, he won't come at present?"
THAT is impossible
Do you know whether the middle OF
the road people have any plans as re-
CARDS candidates for the legislature ?'-
I know all about the Republicans
plans in regard to getting middle of the
road candidates out for the legislature
but don't care to say anything about
that now"
Chairman J. Mack Love Of the Dem
Ocratic committee said:
'Watsons failure TO come viii hit the
Republicans hard on their last hope
They have given uD all hone of car
rying the state or electoral tickets. and
did not think that Watson would help
them any, but We have known for two
weeks that they hoped to spring a lot of
mludle OF the road candidates for the
legislature and then run Watson in and
thus defeat the fusion candidates for
the legislature We have been watch
ing them They have no hope of get
ting anything but the legislature, and
if Watson fails them their last hope of
carrying that is gone"
