Some months ago a band of kuklux organised with the avowed purpose of driving the lewd women and worthless men from'' the neighborhood. Ths "night riders' put la some very effective work, and numbers of people were severely lashed while others sX the country to escape similar punishment. In many instances the kuklux carried their work too far. and whipped parties who did aot deserve such treatment. At any rate a great cry was soon raised against the Kuklux and a base known as the "Red Strings vat organised to.

resist their agression. To the standard of the lat-tr flocked all of those who had been wtlpped or threatened, and many others of higher standing, but who were ot la sympathy with the ways of the kuklux. The Ked Strings claim that they have authority from Gov. Bradley ta put down kukiuxlnaj at alt hazard, and that no member of their band will ever be punished for killing a member of the opposite organisation. They are bold In their operations and the en-Mr band Is armed with the moat lm-Wovtd Winchester rifle.

They rid the roads day and night with these dangerous weapons as their constant companions. The kuklux are not so bold In their swistiu, but every household of taeee who-sympathise with theas Is loaded dwa with weapons and stands nij tn right at a moment's notice.

Abrahatns, Neil. UcKJnnon. P. at. Acker and Herman B.

Mohr, claiming S2O.0O9 damages. The allegations of the hill are that the doctors named conspired with plaintiff's brother-in-law. Henry Mlckle. of New Orleans, to send hint to the insane asylum of this State, where he remained thirty-nine days as aa Indigent Insane, although plaintiff claims that he was sane at the time, and owns considerable property in the Income from which is sufficient to support him comfortably.

Herman B. Mohr. his former partner In this city, and to have delivered the will to him. and also claims that Dr. Abrahams secured his position at the Medical College of Alabama, In this city.

Dr. Mohr, speaking for himself and the other defendants, claims that they were all friends of ths- plaintiff and acted throughout in good faith; that he knew nothing of the existence of a will in which he was a- beneficiary till after Dr. AlcKaig returned from the asylum, and that they made affidavits as to indigence at his own request, as he said he bad no money, but was willing to go to the asylum. He says that with one exception, while Dr. McKaig was- confined to bis home before going to Tus-kaloosa, all the defendants nursed hire and sat up with him.

and that Dr. Abrahams waa elected Demonstrator of Anatomy at the Medical College of Ala. bama before he knew there was a vacancy. All the parties to the suit are prominent young physicians of this city. CAUGHT CHICAGO.

THE ONLY BRYAN ELECTOR May Be Ousted By the Repuh-lican Committee. CHARGES ALREADY PREPARED. Gross ItrrgiilarUIcsf lainrd In the First Dhtriet. REVENUE COLLECTOUSIIIPS The managers of the Republican Campaign Committee in Kentucky have completed all arrangements to contest the election of W. B.

Smith, the one Bryan elector who was given bis certificate by the State Canvassing Board. Notice of contest will be served on Mr. Smith within a week and the taking 'of depositions for the plaintiff will begin as soon as the notice is served. Monday at Frankfort a meeting of attorneys for the Republican Campaign Committee, Judge W. II.

Holt 'and Hon. John W. Trkes, will be held and arrangements will be made to take depositions. Chairman 8. J.

Roberta, of the Campaign Committee, will be present at this meeting. The contest against Mr. Smith will be begun and pushed through, whether the silver Democrats contest the election of the twelve Republican electors or not. It la claimed that overwhelming proofs of fraud and gross cases of repeating at'd ballot-box stuffing will be proved In the First. Second, Third.

Fourth. Sixth and Tenth districts. The Republican Campaign Committee claims to have tn Its possession most complete and startling evidence of fraud which will show almost beyond a doubt tbat McKlniey really carried the State by over 1,000 plurality Instead of between 200 and 300. The committee claims that at least 6.000 men were allowed to repeat by simply going from voting places in one precinct to another in the First congressional district. Names of hundreds of men who thus swelled the silver Democratio majority to nearly 14,000 in the First district are claimed to be In the possession of the committee.

Fraud of only less magnitude Is charged against the silver Democrats in the Second. Third, Fourth. Sixth and Tenth districts. t'The evidence, it Is said, will be so overwhelming that Elector Smith will never be able to cast his vote for Bryan. Besides repeating and ballot-box stuffing- there are many Irregularities charged, such as failure to properly sign the poll-books in many precincts and refusal to count Republican votes legally cast.

The cost of contesting in a case of this kind is expected to amount 'to St. 000 or 15.000. as depositions have to be taken In many counties. Sotne idea of the cost of making a contest in even a congressional race can be learned when It is known that the costs of the contest in the Denny-Owens case in the Seventh district, two years ago, were nearly M.OoO. Mr.

Denny was allowed 1 1,000 by the House of Representatives for his expenses. The other 12.000 was paid by Mr. Denny out of bis own pocket. The expenses of Mr. Owens were somewhat less because he bad fewer depositions to take.

It is probable that Senators Wra. Goe-bel. of Covington, and C. J. Bronston.

of Lexington, will be two of the attorneys for the silver Democratic Campaign Committee. Secretary Richardson, of the committee, said yesterday that nearly all the evidence to be used in their contest was tn and that the contest of the seats of twelve McKlniey electors would certainly be made. A. P. a.S AGAINST HUNTER.

The following Interview was given a Courier-Journal reporter by a Louisville member of theTTneral Assembly. It Indicates very decidedly what the position of the American Protective Association win be la case Dr. Hunter receives the nomination for Senator by the Republican caucus. It is claimed that at least a dosen Republican members would not vote for him under any circumstances. The member in question said: "Dr.

Hunter is out of the question In the senatorial fight. In the first place, he is not a Kentuckian, nor even a native of the United States. He was born In Ireland. The Kentucky Legislature should elect a Kentuckian by all means. The election of Hunter would be an admission that Kentucky possessed no Republican fit to be United States Senator.

That would be a nice compliment to pay such men as Bradley, ttvans, Yerkes. Holt. Deboe, Boyle, McDowell and others, who are gentlemen, scholars and promoters of Republicanism In Kentucky. Bradley, Evans and others were on the stump In Kentucky preach i the doctrines of Republicanism twenty-fiva years aro. at which time Hunter was In the oil fields of Pennsylvania.

He is out of the question entirely." C0LCXEO CANDIDATES. The R. B. Elliott Colored Republican Club nvt last night, elected oncers for another year, and incidentally laid P'ans and talked much of ths election cne year off. The olficers elected were Preston, President; Ben J.

said a Republican leader yesterday. "Dr. Hunter will be elected United States Senator whenever the Legislature is called. 1 know that the doctor has a majority, of the Republican members pledged. The only way he can be defeated is by "be rei'usai of a Republican member to go into a caucus or to vote for him.

I do not think such a case will occur this time. AND STILL ANOTHER. A rivalry, between a number of Louisville Republicans as to who shall get out a weekly newspaper called the Republican has culminated in a ludicrous situation. Yesterday a call was Issued for a meeting of certain well-known members of the party to be held last nightat the Willard Hotel In order to arrange for the publication of the paper. The rival Republicans, of whom Messrs.

Wallace S. Park, Warren J. Rees and James R. Parker are most prominent, heard of this meeting and late yesterday afternoon filed articles of incorporation in the County Clerk's office for the publication of the Louisville Republican. This waa a neat trick to get ahead of their opponents, who held their meeting last night any wsy and say that they will also publish a Republican weekly paper under another name.
