Louisville Ky April 27John K
HendrIck in a card printed today an
Pounces his withdrawal from the race
for tho Democratlo nomination for
governor leaving Governor Bcckbam
unopposed Robert J Breoklurldge
having withdrawn a few days since
The withdrawal will make tame what
was expected to have been an exciting
primary election May 0 Hcndrlck
had all along opposed a primary elec
Lion desiring a delegate convention
A good many shrewd politicians were
aligned on the lido of Hondrlck and
had they obtained a convention they
might have secured his nomination
But In a primary it was doubtful if
Beckbam could be defeated despite
the doubt as to his eligibility to re
election
In his card of withdrawal Mr Hen
drtck says he will support the ticket
to the lad ditch He bates his with
drawal upon tho statement that It la
Imposslble to mako a thorough canvass
and Ice all the people The withdraw
al of Uendrlck will make no change
In the Republican plans
NEWS RECEIVED IN PADUOAH
Colonel Hendrlcks withdrawal came
to his Paducah supporters as the great
est surprise and they have not yet re
covered from the shock A reporter
for The Sun saw Mr James Wilhtlm
of tbe Register ono of Mr Uenrfrlcka
strongest supporters and asked him
what bo thought of It Well re
plied Mr Wllhelm I am like the boy
caught In the act I havent anything
to say Mr Wllhelm says that last
night some one called him over the
telephone and told him that Hondrlck
bad withdrawn but that tho man
would not say who he was so he placed
no confidence In it When he came
down this morning however the first
thing be heard was the rumor Hen
drlcks friends who went to him for
substantiation of the story were told
that he did not believe Itt all bnt
when told of a menage from Mr Urey
Woodson to his papers sent from Lou
isville where Mr Uendriok is he had
to admit Its truth
Some of Mr Hendrloks friends are
Inclined to feel hurt over his with
drawal They have they say literally
polled off their coats and worked like
Trojans for him for weeks only 10 have
U fill come to this and without a hint
from him of anything of the sort
Mr Joe Potter a warm supporter
of Uendrlcks said 1I I dont know
what tbe man means He was getting
stronger every day
Mr James Lang another warm sup
porttrMrai only this morning tending
out a lot of literature to tho counties
In West Kentucky and when he beard
the news quickly bad it withdrawn
Last week the local papers printed over
20000 copies of their weeklies con
talnlnjr Hendrlcks speech and sent
them over the district
Another of Mr Hendrloks friends
was presented with a draft from too
colonel this morning a promised con
trifcstipa to his fund but when he
heard the news of the withdrawal he
did pot feel Inclined to honor It
The news was tho biggest Item for
sometime Uendrlck and Beckbam
supporters could ta s < < en everywhere
discussing the all Important news
One of Hendriclrs strongest sup
porters said today Its just like
this Here I found a man who was set
upon bra gang of fellows for whom I
have the utmost contempt and go
in to help hIm fight It out But lot
without a word of warning he turns
around throws me down and stands
on me and goes to the other gang
lIon lrlcka chief support was the
two local papers and the news came
to them as a great shock For weeks
past they have been fighting his cause i
valorously making one believe from a
perusal of their columns that Hen
drlck would have a walk over How
ever outside of Paducah no one
thought Hcpdrtck bad any show
Tho Repnollosn leaders when asked
for an expression on the withdrawal
only smiled and said It looked
queer All agree that the Repub
licans have a fine chance to put in
their ticket this year and smile when
they think of the excellent campaign
mtUritl U udrlok and his supporters
especially the local papers have made
for the Republicans
