Knoxville, June 24.-Ex-Senator E. w. Carmack, candidate for the democratic gubernatorial nomination in this state who is here today, said of ex-President Cleveland:
 MT. Cleveland impressed the people oi this country, without regard to party as few of our public men have done.

Shock To Mrs. Cleveland.


 Very few of them, however were read by Mrs. Cleveland, who decided not to attempt to learn of their con- tents until she has recovered from the shock caused by her husbands death. Among those who telegraphed or ca bled their condolences were Vice Pres ident Charles w. Fairbanks, Governor Hughes of New York, Judge Alton B.. Parker of New York; Governor Fort of New Jersey. Whitelaw Reid, Ameri can ambassador to Great Britain; MT and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie. Admiral Robley D. Evans, Judge George Gray of Delaware, Governor Hoke Smith of Georgia, George B. Cortelyou, sec retary of the treasury; c. & Fairchild. who was a secretary of the treasury during MT. Cleveland's administration; Richard Onley. Fairmouth Mass; een ator Culberson of Texas. Nicholas Mur ry Butler, president of Columbia uni- versfIy; Secretary oscar Straus of the department of commerce and labor, and Governor Glenn of North Carolina.
 Mir. Cleveland's selection of Prince ton as a place of residence after leav- ing the White House was due to the visit the ex-President and Mrs. Cleve- land made to Princeton in October, 1896, on the occasion of the sesqui- centennial of Princeton. The Clevelands were so graeiously received and were so impressed with the beauty of the town and its surroundings that they at once decided to make Princeton theic home. Until MT Cleveland's health began to fall him. two years ago, he continued to be a very busy man. His diversions in Princeton were daily car riage rides and an occasional fishing or gunning trip.

Greenwich, Ct, June 24.-E. c. Bene- dict, who was one of Mr..

Hopkinsville, KY, March T.
The Colored Taft club, organic
ed week ago, formally opened
its headquarters on Sixth street,
opposite the Hotel Latham, last
night, aud a rousing meeting
was held IN the interest of the
candidacy Of the secretary of
war for the presidency. The
new organization now boasts OF
quarters of its own, the rooms
being furnished in manner to
make it an admirable meeting
place. 1t was decided to keep
the rooms open at all times.
Steps were taken last night to
effect permanent organization
with a view to having the Re-
publican leaders in the district
sit up and take notice, and
James l.. Allensworth, Jr,, who
has a reputation among the col
ored people as being a successful

NOT ABLE TO
DELIVER GOODS.
DcbOc And Franks Will Be Badly
Left In First District Fight.
THESE MEM HAVE NEVER BEEN
SENATOR BRADLEYS FRIENDS.

Paducah, KY, March w.
j. Deboe, of Crittenden county,
and Ed Franks, of Greensboro,
internal revenue collector, can
not deliver all the goods they are
promising in the First Congress-
ional district for the support of
Fairbanks delegates, against
those who are in line with Presi-
dent Roosevelt, so the fellows
who are accepting Doodle from
the fat bank roll, which the
Fairbanks machine and the anti
Roosevelt trust organization are
sending to Western Kentucky,
are going to realize more from
the sale of their manhood sufi-
frage than are their dupes.
Two reasons are cited for this
statement: First, they are
promising the same offices to
different men; and secondly,
Senator-eleet Bradley doesn't
like hair on the head of either
one of them and would't trust
either of them as far as he can
see.
He will not say anything now
to prejudice the situation and he
will let old grudges rest until
after the State convention but
Senator Bradley is wise, and he
cannot be fooled twice by the
lsame people. He has been fool
ed by both Ed Franks and w.
EJNpeboe: fie-.s n
The idea of man of the
shrewdness of Senator. elect w.
o. Bradley allowing such men as
w. j. Deboe and Ed Franks to
peddIe his influence for patron
age throughout Western Ken
lucky is absurd.
Every real friend and admirer
Senator Bradley has, and every
Republican leader who has
record of promises kept in West
ern Kentucky, is Taft man.
The men who are playing the
Fairbanks game in the First dis
trict will not stand much show
with the next national admins
tratlon, regardless of any consid-
Grafton. Ii the First Kentucky
district comes out with a pioneer
Taft delegation, it will stand
cOnspicuOusly in the favor of the
administration. But if it goes
for Fairbanks, the district will
go down as anti-administration,
while the Fairbanks leaders out
this way must always be sns-
pected of double dealing by the
Republican United States Sena-
tor from Kentucky.

For Him.
LEADERS or THE TAFT FORCE
HOLD MEETING AT HENDERSON

Louisville Evening Post special
service
Henderson, KY, March O.
The Taft men in the Second dis
trict have now rolled up their
sleeves and waded into the fight
to give the Secretary of war ev-
cry county in the district, and
they appear to have a fine chance
Of carrying out their intentions
to the fullest degree. Within
the next week every county will
have a rousing Taft club, of
Of which every member will be
a walking delegate to obtain
votes for the big man. Enthusi-
asm is at a higher pitch than ev-
or before.
Shortly before noon, Thursday,
prominent Republicans for all
over the Second district began
to appear in Henderson AMI
soon "a rousing Taft meeting
was going on in the parlors of the
Hotel Kingdom. An effort was
made to keep the session secret,
but so many local men wanted
TO get into the bandwagon that
the doorkeeper was worked over
time and finally gave up. The
meeting organized by the elect
ION of Paul Nj. Moore, of Earling-
ton, chairman of the second Con-
gressional district Taft conven-
tion. Mr.. Moore accepted in a
brief address, in which he told
how lovely things were for Taft
in and about Hopkins county.
Moore was followed by Charles
II. Hugger, president of the Ow-
ensboro Ice Manufacturing Com
pany, and City attorney George
w. Jolly also of Greensboro.
These men were followed IN adj
dressing the meeting by Judge
John Francis Lockett and Capt.
Ned Campbell, of Henderson.
All of the speeches were most
enthusiastic ones and glowing re-
ports of the strong Taft senti-
ment in Davies and Henderson
counties were received with en-
thuslasm. Perry Westerfield, of
Sebree, and j. w. Thomasson, of
UniontOwn, brought just as fine
reports from Webster and Union
counties, respectively.
In all of the addresses the ac-
ton of Senator-elect w. o. Brad
ley in denouncing Taft followers
as Office holders and Office seek
ers was lightly treated, as was
also the fear that Bradley's de-
claration would hurt Taft's cause.
1t was brought out that Fair
banks policies in the second dis
trict especially has made strange
bed fellows indeed, as Collector
X. T. Franks, of Greensboro, the
admitted Fairbanks leader in
the district, has always been one
of Bradley's most bitter political
enemies. The pages of ancient
history have been opened again
and Franks present declaration
that an official should be indots.
ed when he asks for reelection
or something better looks strange
indeed alongside of what is writ
ten concerning the bitter opposi-
ton of Franks to Bradley's re-
nomination after he had served
his party we'll.
The very presence of Charlie
Hugger and George jolly in the
Taft wagon is a refutation of tho
charge that Taft's supporters are
the Federal office holders
for since time immemorial Joll,
and Hugger have been the leader
against Postmaster Van Rensel

p, llcan states. Ihey feel that THIS
is the year to reach the goal,
but that no other candidate of
their party can count on Mlssou-
ri with any degree of certainty
in cOntes. with Mr.. Bryan as
Democratic candidate.
In the past week Kansas and
Nebraska have commenced their
contributions of Taft delegates.
Republican leaders in both States
without regard to personal affili-
alton declared that the delega-
tions will be solid for Taft. All
doubt about Kansas was put at
rest by the action fof the State
convention during the week.
Nebraska Republicans will hold
their convention at Omaha,
Marsh IL, and will certainly fol-
low the Kansas example.
Iowa has selected her first
national delegates without a
thought of considering any other
candidate. The convention
which selected these delegates
unanimously instructed them for
Secretary Taft. Iowa is State
which has been denied to the
secretary of war by all the East
ern political know-it alls. 1t
has at times been credited to
Senator La Toilette but usually
is given to Governor Oummins,
while occasionally Cannon, Fair
banks, Hughes and Knox are
generously given a few Iowa
delegates. Governor Cummins
and his followers are sincerely
for Taft, as are Senator Allison
and those Of his friends who are
engaged in a contest with the
Governor for locol party control.
The actions taken to date in
the ID states and Philippine
Islands which have selected del
egates to the Chicago convention
furnish an answer to those who
argue, in an effort to defeat Taft
instructions, that it is wrong to
instruct delegates anyhow; that
the manhood of delegates should
be preserved and that they should
be commissioned to do what may
may seem best to them at the
time, regardless of what the
members of the party who sent
them to the national convention
may want.
With the exception of two
delegates from Alabama and four
from Louisiana, every delegate
thus far selected is under posi-
tive and binding instructions.
Omitting Indiana, the lnstruc-
tions are all for Taft. The Louis
lana uninstructed delegates
selected during the week in a
convention represent one faction
of the party. On May ii the
other faction will hold its con-
vention and is expected to in
struct the delegates selected for
Secretary Taft. The faction to
meet in May is the one officially
recognized in the. State, and
which dominates the /Repub-
lican candidates placed on the
ballot.
The table of actual delegate
selections. at this time does not
indicate that thereiwill be more
than the usual number of con-
tests from the Southern States.
The seats of all of the Alabama
and Florida delegates now named
are in dispute and the rights OF
four from Louisiana are to be
questioned. Maryland, although
on the border, is generally CON
sidered a Southern State and has
selected four delegates, and
Tennessee. in the heart Of the
southern Mississippi valley, has
picked six, all of them without
contest. AS the record stands

no PLANS FIXED FOR
ENTRY TO FLORENCE

Just where Florence is to be con-
nected with the Kansas Colorado rail-
road, when it is to be built or finished
rather, has not yet been fully decided
upon by the promoters. it is said. 1t
IL known, however, that the survey
runs up from Pueblo to Turkey creek,
thence to the new town Of Penrose
and thence to Canon City across the
undeveloped fats.
1t Is rumored that branch line will
be run down over the prairie and hills
to Florence, but in order to get in
here it will be necessary to run in
from one OF the switches that will be
provided for that purpose. When Flor
snce paid bonus Of $500 some weeks
ago it was done with the view that
the road was to cross the river some
where near the Gumaer soda springs
and then run through the streets here
and then extend the line to Canon. But
II this other proposition is to go into
effect, the good to be accomplished will
probably not be so great.-F1orence
