CHARLES f.. SAPIrs APPOINTMENT.
Thwarted Secret Attack Nc
kinIcx During the Campaign.

kinIcx During the Campaign.
There is an interesting story behind the
appointment of c. E. Sapp to be internal
revenue collector for the fifth Kentucky
district. Mr. Sapp is president Of the Ken
lucky branch of the A. P. A. 1t will be
remembered that just prior to Mr.. Nc
Kinleys nomination charges were made
against him by some of the A. P. A. peo-
pie and an attempt was made to use the
order against him.
The scheme is understood to have started
in Illinois. Agents were sent to A. P. A.
lodges in different parts of the country. An
agent went to Mr.. Sapp. president of the
Kentucky branch of the A. F. A., to have
him work up an ti-Mckinley movement
in Kentucky. Mr. Sapp was a Mckinley
man. and he went at once to Canton and
disclosed the plans TO injure the Ohio cam
didate.
He afterward went to Illinois and else
where and fought the anti Mckinley move
ment successfully.
The appointment OF Mr.. sapp is to be
fought in the Senate if mis- name is sent to
that body this fall There may not be
open objection on the part of Kentucky
republicans, but it has been broadly limited
that the democrats in the Senate might
take charge of Mr.. Sapp's case when his
name Is brought up. Recent attacks on
Senator Vest by the A. =. A. caused sew
eral democrats to decide to fight the confir-
matlon OF the most prominent A. P. A.
man WHO might receive an appointment.
The Kentucky democrats promise to take
the matter before the Senate if others do
not, as Mr.. Sapp is very Objectionable to
them.
S. ]. Roberts, who was appointed col
lector for the seventh Kentucky district,
was native of Canton and is an old-tfne
