Washington, Sept. 29—A general,

to accommodate all who ask for small
money, it oannot always supply all or¬

members of the Democratic congres¬
sional district committee have arrived
and the meeting will be held at noon at
the Capitol hotel to canvass the returns
and declare who is nominated. Hon. W.

;ner, Colonel John T. Shelby, and a
delegation of prominent men.

ton and Charles E. Butler, of Paris,
Editor; Baxter, of the Lexington Trans¬
script, Hod. James T. Askew, of George¬
town, and Editor Orr, of the Owen
News.
The air is full of rnmors; one is to the
effect that if the committee goes behind
the returns an injunction will immedi¬
ately be gotten oat by the Owens mdh
before Judge Gar troll, who is holding
his circuit court here now.
Another fhe is that the Breckinridge men
on committee will probably, if voted
down by a majority, issue a protest to
the people of the district with a view of
producing disaffection enough to defeat
Owens in the race between him and the
Republican the nominee. best known Breckinridge
One of
adherents, however, denies that there
will be anything of the kind done.
Owens’ friends say that at the urgent
appeal to the distriot committee by
some of the Breckinridge could men,
they found that they Fay¬ ouly
count on a few, vis - : Johnston, of
ette; Welsh, of Laagton; Vincent, of
Oldham and' Gaines, of Franklin, and
that for this reason they concluded to
make no contest.

much larger audiences wherever he
goes than any other speaker Hon. Fleming in the cam¬

followed the same line on the silver
question as Secretary Smith and created
considerable enthusiasm.
At the conclusion of the speaking
