Nheeler The lid District is only less strongly
democratic than the LIST. DR. ]. b. Clary having
ssd there two years ago a plurality of over
1900 In the Ist the anti Republican plurality
rss over 1900. The lid and WITH districts
r,ere carried by Republican candidates In 1894
and the lid was lost in 1896 by DIR. w. God
Trey Hunter. now United States Minister TO
Guatemala by only BAG votes. d. H. Smith. the
,resent Democratic Representative. carried the
Iv;h two years ago by a plurality of 1.571. Both
districts seem certain to be Democratic next
ynonth DR.. NJ. p. Creel. Of Central City. is the
Republlcan nominee in the IIId and Charles
Ranford. of Bewieyville. in the WITH.
In tn, 9TH District which includes this city
ord county Walter Evans has been renominated
rs the Republicans. and has as opponents ]. II.
Tambrick. boiling Republican. and Oscar
Turner formerly Sound Money Democrat run
ling on a free coinage platform. Mr. Turner is
credited with having actively opposed p Wat
Uardin's election in 1885. He is being sup
nortcd b. The Courier Journal" and in his
canvass has ignored the silver question and
taken refuge In attacks on the ADMINISTRATORS
management OF the war. Two years ago Mr.
Evans had a plurality Of 10.630 over his free
silver Democratic opponent. John Young Brown.
IN 1894. however the regular Democratic tickle:
won in this county by 1.119 votes With the Re-
publican vote divided and both silver and Sound
Money Democrats supporting Mr.. Turner. the
sitting member has undoubtedly a difficult fight
on his hands. He has however the confidence
and favor Of important local interests and on
his record of useful service in Congress may
eventually beat both rivals. The district is at
best very doubtful from a Republican point OF
view this year
The With ard WITH districts are safely Demo-
cratic Representative \ S. Berry. OF Newport
will ne reelected in the one and Representative
Evan T.. Settle. Of OWenton. in the other The
Republican candidates are ". NJ. Donaldson, Of

The With or central district Of the state
was carried in 1896 rather Unexpectedly by o.

been renominatcd, and Is making a hard fight
FOR reelection. Ex-Governor James Il. Nc
Creary had represented this district in Congress
FOR several years. but saw signs OF trouble
ahedG in 1873. and refused to run again. Mr..
DaNlsons plurality two years ago was 2,4Sl.
Last fall me district was Democratic by- only
Sl3 votes. The chances Of Republican success
mex; month ere therefore fairly promising.

experienced and able Republican, has been
elected twice TO Congress from tn. IXth Dis
