Action Deferred In the Matter Of
Nominating a Candidate for
Attorney.

The Republicans of the Third
judicial district met in convention
Tuesday, the convention being
called to order by Chairman A. H.
Anderson. w. A. McCullom, of
Lyon, was elected chairman and
Polk Cansler, of Christian, secre-
tary. The chairman appointed
committees on credentials and reso-
lutions. While the committees were
out calls were made on various
parties for speeches, but none re-
sponded.
The credentials committe
through its chairman, h. A. Cook,
reported all counties represented
by uncontested delegations, having
the following strength: Galloway
s, Christian As, Lyon 8, Trigg is.
The report was adopted.
The resolutions committee through
its chairman, Prentice Thomas, Of
Trigg, recommended the nomination
of Judge James Breathitt for Circuit
Judge and that the nomination of a
candidate for Commonwealth At
torney be referred to the district
committee with full power to make
a nomination.

Breathitt be nominated. He re-

Judge Breathitt accepted the
nomination in a brief speech. He
said he realized that it was large

quire the aid Of all Republicans
and Of every other citizen feeling

He said he did not regard the office
as a political one, or place for
showing Partially to litigants or
attorneys,from personal or political
reasons. He said a corrupt Judge
could ROB a man of his life, liberty
or prosperity, seemingly acting
within the pale of the law. He
pledged himself to be fair and inn
partial and said if any man of his
party or any other party question
ed his personal honesty or his pur-
| pose to be an impartial Judge, he
hoped such voter would vote
against him. He said he would
know no man on the bench, but
would De governed by law and
justice for every one.

Hendryx Process.

The Atlas company, operating in the
Buffalo Hump country, has had some
ore tested by the Hendryx process at
Spokane. George Crane, manager OF
the Atlas, says: "The ore. which as
says Sails, ran high in silver and
was not best suited to the Hendryx
system. We recovered $41.S2 with
amalgamation and concentration and
the Henaryx treatment Of the tail
ings.
"That gave silver extraction of "
ner cent and a gold extraction of 96.3
ner cent, or a total of Sc per cent. Ex-
periments made by G. M. Fassett with
the same ore, using amalgamation,
concentration and cyaniding by the
usual methods, gave higher extrac-
tion in silver and less in gold, or a
total of 80 per cent. Because Of the
higher gold recovery in the Hendryx
treatment we expect to install Hen,
dryx mill in connection with an ANAL
gamating and cyaniding plant. We
shall not put in the mill, however, un-
til we open larger reserves.
"The tunnel at the mine has pene-
trated our second shoot 80 feet. 1t is
seven feet wide and carries values
around $40. We have our new hoist
ON the ground and only await the
boiler and the pump to start our two
oom,,rtment shafts from the tunnel
level"

sTIRS UP CANADIANS.
Speech of John Charlton at Boston Pro-
vokes Lively Comment.

Commenting upon the speech of John
Charlton at Boston, who was recalled to
Montreal by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, his chief.
because of it's reciprocity tone and pro-
'nounced national import, the Montreal Star
prints the following. which Is the most i'm
portant newspaper criticism of the Cana
dian press:
'"The gratifying announcement is made
that Mr.. John Charlton, who spoke in Bos-
ton Thursday in favor of reciprocity be-
tween Canada and the United States in
place of imperial preferential trade, and
who was to have spoken again last night
upon the same subject, has been recalled
to Canada by Sir Wilfrid Laurier. The
truth of the matters probably Is that he
has been called down by his leader, who
no doubt recognized that Mr.. Charlton 5
indiscreet utterances were doing much harm
to the liberal party and to Canada. Far
more importance is attached to Mr.. Charl-
tons speeches in the United States than in
Canada, and SO much fuss is made by the
New York and Boston press over his anti
British utterances that even in England it
might be assumed that they possess some
political significance"
