Heavy Negro Registration.
# is estimated that the negro reg

something like three times as large
as it has ever been known for any
preceding election.
With so extensive a registration it
is natural that the negroes should
take more interest in political af-
fairs of all sorts than would ordi-
narily be the case. They will, it is
anticipated, be in larger evidence at
the district conventions and the state
convention of the republican party
than has been the case in decade
or more
The negroes, as is we'll known,
are not in sympathy with the ROose-
welt administration on account of the
Brownsville affair, and it is said they
like Taft even less than they do

The city of Paducah, the town of
Murray or Galloway county and other

depredations and scares have existed

bacco buyers for the amounts they

buyers of Paducah, have already
made out their bill against the city
of Paducah amounting to 1886 and
since the council refused payment are
to bring suit in circuit
court to recover. 1t is said that it is
the opinion of state officials that the
city must pay the bill. Mr.. Stahl
claims ex-Mayor Yeiser gave him au-
thority to put on guards at city ex-
pense and that Detective Moore Sc
lected the men and put them in
charge of the warehouse at night.
Probably the heaviest expense the
tobacco buyers were subjected to was
at Murray, where the county and city
officials are said to have refused
guards and they were put on by the
buyers themselves. Four to six men
were regularly employed, while on
Nights when attacks were expected.

day in March when, according to the.
later confessions of a night rider, was

other places where independent buy
ers were stationed guards were put
on at private expense and an effort
will be made to recover the amounts
expended.

SOMETHING IN BRYAN DEAL

Louisville, Ky. June 8. (Special.)
-Beckham men want Judge Robbins
of Mayfeld, to preside over the Lex
ington convention.
It is known that the Beckham
forces won a slight victory, at least,
in the selection OF. Lexington for. the
convention meeting, though that was
made possible through the control of
the state organization. giving that fac
ton an advantage in the fight.
II is believed to be Beckham's am
bition to become national committee
man from Kentucky, succeeding Urey
Woodson, and there viii be a lively
fight for control of the state conven-
tion.
That Beckham will be one of the
Big Four TO the Denver convention is
conceded, and he hopes to control a
sufficient number of delegates in the
state convention to name the dele
gates from the districts to the ma
tional convention, who will elect the
national committeeman. While Urey
Woodson is friendly TO Bryan, the
latter was sufficiently interested in
Mr.. Beckham's success to come to
Kentucky and stump the state for
him. and afterwards plead with the
state legislature to elect him United
States senator. In return Beckham S
followers pledged the state TO Bryan,
and Beckham would not be opposed
by the national organization in his
fight at Denver.
