LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 25.-Dr. W. Godfrey
Hunter. who organized the Republican party
for victory in this State last year and the year

Senate Gov. Bradley's hostility prevented, said
to-day that ho was out OF politics. He added:
II am not a candidate for United States Sena.
tor to succeed Senator Lindsay. and am not now
in politics at all. Unless my mind changes. I
am done with politics forever, for I have been
treated very shabbily."
DR.. Hunter said he did not think tho news.
papers would wilfully misrepresent him. but
were probably imposed on. He thought the
publication that he was a candidate for United
states Senator to succeed Lindsay was given
out for some Interior purpose. 1t is known that
