Frankfort, KY, April 22,-Dr. Hunters
withdrawal last night has brought a host
of candidates on the ground. This, as
was evident during the day, embarrassed
the caucus tonight.
Congressman Evans arrived from Wash

Maj Curtis NJ. Burnam of Richmond,
urged State Senator John Bennett for the
place, and he is regarded as a dangerous
candidate if a deadlock should occur be-
tween Senator Deboe and Judge Holt in
the caucus. Senator Deboe and Judge
Holt, the former DR.. Hunters preference
were acknowledged from the first to be
the strongest in the race, and so it proved
in the caucus tonight.
Congressman Walter f. Evans is an as
pirant, but has not yet developed much
strength.
St. John Boyle and Col. Bennett were
only two or three points ahead of Col.
Evans, and ran about neck and neck with
Col. Lewis in the talk during the day, as
well as generally in the ballots tonight.
Others, who have not yet been nominate
ed in the caucus have been talked Of
Among these is Mayor George Todd of
Louisville. He listened favorably to the
solicitations Of his friends to become a
candidate, but declined finally upon the
report that the six anti-Hunter republic
cans would not vote for him.
At the joint session to-day the republi-

Jerry Simpson is steadily assaulting
the man in the gap. 1t is a careful ard
wary assault with a definite object
in view. This object is not the mere
annoyance Of the speaker, although
to some it might appear 50. Jerry
Simpson is reaching for something
beyond this. He isa genuine political
matadOr. II the speaker should lose
his aplomb and traverse one of his
own decisions, Jerry's object would
have been attained. He is honest
and sincere. With both feet planted
on the constitution of the United
States, he believes that he is fighting
not only for his own rights but
for the rights Of the house.
1t seems very singular that great
newspapers should ridicule him.
Their actions seem to be based on the
spirit that animates passengers in a
horse car who laugh and badger one
of their own number who protests
against the infringement of his rights
