of Q TO 5 por cent. OF castor oil, 10 to 10 per

gun cotton is the principal ingredient of Mr..

insisted that the proportions specified in his

Frankfort. KY, April 19.--The ex-
pected indictments against DR.. w. God
frey Hunter and ex-Congressman John
Fl. Wilson for conspiracy to bride In
connection with the senatorial contest
were returned by the Franklin county
grand jury Saturday morning. In addi-
ton indictments were returned against
Representative +. Il. Franks, of Daviess
county, Capt. Noel Gaines and Thomas
Il. Tanner, of Frankfort. The last two
named preferred the bribery charges
against DIR. Hunter and ex-Congress-
man Wilson. DIR. Hunter declares he is
innocent of the charges preferred, and
says he will not quit the race till called
off:by caucus of his party.
The news of the indictments caused
the greatest indignation among the re-
publicans, all of whom denounced the
proceedings as conspiracy of Frank
fort democrats to defeat and humiIinte
DIR. Hunter. They claim that the indict-
ments against Capt. Gaines and MIR.
Tannerw were returned simply as ''savers''
to prevent the public generally from
gaining the impression that the grand
jury had been made an engine of DO
itical persecution, and that they would
be dismissed at the first hearing on
account of insufficient evidence. r.
