Charles r. Long, Esq, Chairman
Democratic State Central Ticket, Lou
isville, Ky.-My Dear Sir: Your favor
Of March 3d. in which you say in sub
stance that many of my friends in Ken
lucky and elsewhere desire me to be-
come o candidate before the approach
ing National Democratic Convention,
for nomination for the office of Presi-
dent, and requiring me to give some
authoritative or definite expression
upon the subject, was duly received
and has been maturely considered.
Many communications upon the
same subject and of similar import have
teen received from friends in different
parts of the country, and while very
grateful for these numerous express
sions of confidence and esteem upon the
part of my Democratic fellow-citizens,
] have not been able to reach the con-
clusion that existing conditions require
me to comply with this request by
authorizing them to announce me as a
| candidate for the Presidential nomina-
ton. While 1 feel a profound interest
in the welfare of my party l ann much
more concerned about it's declaration
of principles than it's selection of can
didates, because in my opinion its fall
ure or success at the election, as we'll as
it's capacity for useful service to the
country in the future, depend upon the
position it takes or omitS to take upon
the public questions now engaging the
attention of the people and especially
the questions affecting the monetary
system of the country and the charac-
ter and amount of taxation to be i'm
posed upon our citizens. It's position
upon these and other subjects having
been agreed upon and clearly and dis
tinctly announced, the country ought
to have no difficulty in selecting an ac-
ceptable candidate, who will fairly rep
resent its views, and in order that its
deliberations may be embarrassed as
little as possible by the contentious of
rival 'aspirants and their friends,
think my duty to the party will be best
performed by declining to participate
in a contest for the nomination.
THE obligations assumed when I ac-
cepted my present official position re-
quire me to devote my entire time and
attention to the public interests COM
mitted to my charge, and I shall have
to continue my discharge of duty as
imposed upon me to the best of my
ability and in such manner as will in my
judgment more certainly promote the
true interests of the country, and If in
the opinion of my fellow Democrats in
Kentucky my services entitle me to
their commentator and approval, /
would regard their Endorsement of my
public course as an ample reward for
the little / have been able to accom-
plish in behalf of honest admnistra-
tion and sound financial policy. With
many thanks for your kind letter, l am,
very truly yours, j. G. CARLISLE"

Harrison and Mrs. Mckee, the son and
daughter of General Harrison, did not
leave for New York to-day to attend
the wedding of the eX-President and
Mrs. Dimmick tomorrow, and they will
Tot be present at the ceremony. From
the time that the Harrison -Dimmick

open secret here that the children of
the ex-President were bitterly hostile to

here some time ago, Mrs. Mckee in
stead of going to the residence of her
father, which has always been her stop
ping place while in the city, went to the
home of her brother. and the only visits
that she has made to her former home
have been for the purpose of removing
her personal belongings. Mrs. Mckee

actual result
The present week will not be an in
teresting one so far as State Conven-
tions are concerned, the only ones to be
selected being those of South Carolina
Oregon and Rhode Island; but during
the remainder of April there will be at
least 10 delegates elected for McKin-
ley, and the first of May will see the
number of Mckinley delegates easily
450. There will be elected thereafter
162 delegates, from which Mckinley
will receive large percentage of the
reserve force. The pleasant feature OF
this whole business is the fact that these
delegates are already in a large part
from States which will also furnish
electoral votes to the national ticket.

LOUISVILLE Ky.), April 5.-The
''Courier-Journar' to-day prints SEN
sational story that Governor Bradley
of Kentucky has joined the A. T.. A
and is the A. Z. A. candidate for Presi-
dent. The statement is confirmed by
his presence at the sessions OF the
Louisville A. p. a. Councils. The
''Courier-Journal' says Governor Brad
ley was received into that order on
the afternoon of September %, 1893,
at the Victoria Hotel in this city,
under a special dispensation granted
by State President c. E. Sapp.
About the middle of last September
the A. r. A. of the State determined
TO indorse some one of the tickets then
in the field. 1t indorsed all of the Re-
publican ticket with the exception of
Colonel Bradley, who was the candi-
date for Governor on that ticket.
In regard to the candidate for Gov
ernor there was some discussion. Gov
ernor Bradley was not indorsed be-
cause il was said some of his family
were Catholics and the A. p. AS. turned
toward Thomas Petit, the Populist
candidate 1t is said Mr. Petit would
have been indorsed but for the fact that
Mr.. Bradley became a member of the
order
Realizing that matters were in a
serious condition, some of Bradley S
friends resolved TO have him join the
order. On the afternoon of September
9th last MIR. Bradley spoke at Scotts-
willie. in Allen County. He was met at
that place by John p. Fultz. Jr..
County Attorney of jefferson County,
who assured him that everything was
lost If he did not join the A. p. A.
organization. Mr.. Fultz made the trip
TO Scottsville especially TO bring Mr..
Bradley to Louisville for the purpose
of having him initiated, and Mr.. Brad
ley consented. Leaving Scottsville on
the afternoon or night of September
18th they arrived at the Victoria Hotel.

"Courier-Journal' adds. Governor
Bradley received a telegram from the
Supreme Advisory Board of the A. p.
\. in Washington. The telegram. it
- said. told the Governor to be of good
cheer and not withdraw from the Pres
idential race.
The further information was con-
veyed that the a. p. A. would have

because ii is said Governor Mckinley
had joined the Ancient Order of Hi

further that the telegram to Governor
Bradley Informed him that Linton, the
A. p. A. candidate. was off the track
and that both the Republican and Dem
ocratic wings of that organization
would rally to his support.
In this connection ii will be recalled
that the A. Il. A. of Omaha recently

FRANKFORT (Ky), April 5.-The
struggle now in Kentucky for Republi-
can Presidential instructions is attract
ing attention all over the country and

ing the total Mckinley vote on first and
second instructions 403.
Several large counties hold conven-
tions tomorrow, among them being
those taking in Louisville and Lexing-
ton.
Governor Bradley is in Louisville to-
night. and as Congressman Hunter is
also there the presence of these political
managers in the same town has given
rise to a rumor that Hunter is trying to
patch up a compromise with Bradley
by agreeing to pull off the fight for Nc
Kinley in Western Kentucky if Brad
leys managers will give Hunter a clear
track for Congress in the fall. The
Bradley managers say they will give
Hunter no quarter, and that the war of
determination must go on.

THE CATHODE RAY.
First Practical Application in Surgery
in America.

PITTSBURG, April 5. What is
claimed to be the first practical use of
the x rays in surgery IN America was
made this evening in the Homeopathic
Hospital in this city, and was successful
in every particular. By means of a
photo with the rays last night, the exact
location of a piece of needle in the foot
of seven-year-old Rachael Newton was
ascertained, and in less than a minute
after the first incision the needle was
found placed exactly as in the photo
graph. The operation lasted sixty sec
onds. While Rachel was running about
a room five weeks ago her foot struck
a needle, and about a quarter of an
inch of the steel ran into the ball of the
foot Acute irritation set in and the
foot swelled to twice it's natural size.
Frequent probings were made, but the
steel could not be located.

be sufficient proof of his ability aside
from other musical enterprises with
which he has been identified in this vi
cinity. Under the direction of Professor
Lindsay there is no question that the
Driving park summer evening con-
certs will be successful.
Reeve Jones, the well-known pianist
