will be made at once and no publica-
ton of the inspectors report will be

The above telegram from Frankfort
was the first authoritative announce
ment of Dr. Letcher's resignation.
This makes practically clean sweep,
as DIR. Miller's resignation has al
ready been accepted and that Of DR..
Hauser has been in the Governors
hands all along to be used as he
thought proper
The question of the succession
will at once attract attention The
report in Louisville paper that DIR.
JAS Rodman was possible APP
pontee was eithout DR. Rodman's
knowledge or approval. The Ken
tuckian happens to know that DIR.
Rodman would not accept the posi-
ton if rendered him.
There are two avowed candidates
for the place, DR.. JAS. A. Young, of this
place, and DR.. L. w. Gardner, of
Madisonville, and one of these gen
tlemen will be appointed. Which
one only Gov. Bradley knows. DIR.
Gardner stated in recent interview
that he had been assured by inti-
mate friends that he could get the
place if he wanted it and admitted
that he did want it.
OF course everybody in Hopkins
vile will desire to see DIR. Young get
the place aud unless the succession is
already determined upon, strong
pressure will be brought to
bear in DR., Young's behalf.
