BY wATTERsoN sTEALEY.


 Washington, August S.-tspecial.) )-In- ternal Revenue Commissioner Yerks in- trodueed to the President this morning Judge George Durrell and MT. Young AL lison of Louisville. The three Kentucky republicans spent some time discussing the gloomy prospects ahead of the G. O. P. In Kentucky.
 Practically the whole of the conference related to affairs in the Louisville dis trict Except in this district 1t has been decided to abandon the fight in the state. Whether a contest will even be made in Louisville depends almost entirely upon the result of a visit Judge Durren and Messrs. Allison and Watts will make to New York tonight The understanding is that the republican leacers go there to see Chairman Babcock of the republican congressional committee
 They will tell him that Louisville Is republican city, but 1t takes money to carry 1t. If MT. Babcock will put up they will guarantee the district can be bought. Both the national and congress sional republican committees have had such streak of bad luck in Kentucky that 1t Is very doubtful If Judge Dur rell will bring back anything like the amount necessary.
 In 1900 Chairman Hanna sent good deal of money to Kentucky and he afterwards learned that it passed through very few hands. Cortelyou probably has the tip. At any rate the outlook is poor one.
 In His Own District.
 A republican politician from Wisconsin said the other day that Babcock could profitably use every cent of the commit- tees money in his own district and then find places where more could be advan- tageously used. It is the saine.-way in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and all through the east. The republican workers are bowling for money and say they have got to have 1t to win. They have been accustomed to get all they wanted. So far as can be learned there Is not great abundance of the long green" in the republican chest. Both Cortelyou and Babcock have enough, however, to make a start on. The major portion of 1t is reported to have come from one of the slices of the forty million dollar canal appropriation Cortelyou and Babcock have also made several lflps IO 1H1lduclpHld recently and the understanding is that they have frightened the tariff barges in that city in- to giving them something though nothing like the amount usually for the coming. Another source of republican campaign funds, according to a New York news paper, Is J. Pierpont Morgan, who is said to be for Roosevelt, owing to the fact that the administration turned over to him the Panama canal money to dis tribute. It Is pointed out that as small a commission as 1 per cent would have netted the financiar four hundred thous- and dollars.
 Outlook Grows Brighter Daily.
 "The outlook for the democratic party grows brighter daily" said former Gov ernor Tyler of Virginia today. President Roosevelt has drawn the line black be- tween the candidates this fall and a widespread feeling of distrust pervades all our people, especially the people of the south.
 That the reelection of Roosevelt would mean violent disturbances throughout our whole social custom, and I confess I am afraid the fears are well founded
 We who live in the south are familiar with its problems and conditions now that it takes but little to start a feeling
 
 of our population; and If such sentiment ever gained considerable headway, 1t could only be stopped by measures that would make the strongest shudder-yet stopped 1t will be. for this is an Anglo Saxon country and so it will remain
 The more I have read of Judge Par ker and the closer I have studied him. the more l admire and respect him. I believe he will be elected and make us one of the best and safest Presidents we have ever had"
 Bankhead Going to New York
 Representative Bankhead of Alabama is in Washington en route to New York where he will join his fellow members of the rivers and harbors committee tomor- row.
 'l have been In Alabama ever since the convention adjourned" said Colonel Bankhead. Down in Alabama we are confidently expecting a democratic yic- tory. If the democrats of the nation show anything like our enthusiasm and conf dence the party will win. The ticket we have nominated is a strong one Judge Parker strengthened himself wonderfully by his telegram to the convention. It was the one thing to start us into the cam paign With every prospect of success"
