j Lorsvn.i.H, Ky., Sept. 3.— Dispatches
j received at democratic state headquar
ters today state that the campaign was
: auspiciously opened throughout Ken
tucky today. The programme included

j ' Postoffice Clerks in Session
Atlantic Crrv, Sept.3.—The National
Association of I'ostoffice Clerks was I
j called to order in annual convention here
today with delegates present from many
parts of the country. President Thomas
J. Donnelly occupied the chair and pre
sented his annual address showing the
progress made by the organization since
its last convention. The gathering will
he in session three days and will con
sider a number of matters of vast im
portance to its members throughout the
country.
Letter Carriers Meet.
Detroit, Mich., Sept. 3.—Detroit 1
gracefully capitulated today to an army
composed of fully 5,000 left« r carriers, j
, who invaded the city with banners flying
* and bands playing- They came from all
I
1
j
parts of the country to take part in a big
parade today and the nth annual con
vention of the National Association of
letter carriers, which togius its business
sessions here tomorrow morning. It is
estimated that there were fully 6,000
men in line this afternoon. Large dele
gations, each with its own hand at its
head, were furnished by Chicago, Cincin
nati, Grand Rapids, Columbus and Ann
Arbor. Torouto Hamilton and other
cities across the border were also repre
sented by fraternal delegations.
The line was led by John N. Parsons,
national president, and other officers of
the association. Occupying seats on the
reviewing stand were the guestsof honor,
among the number being Postmaster
General Smith, A. W. Machen, superin
tendent of the free delivery system; W.
1-Mens, superintendent of the free deliv
ery system of the western district, and
Postmaster Gordon, of Chicago. After
the parade luncheon was served to the
carriers in the Light Guard armory,
while the visiting bands gave a concert.
This evening there w ill lie a reception
with addresses by a number of men of
national prominence.
The sessions of the convention will oc
cupy several days. The most important
matter to lie considered is the "pension
bill." It is not the purpose of the car
riers to ask congress to give them any
thing, hut simply to ask for the passage
of a law requiring a percentage of their
salaries to be deducted, the money so de
ducted to he used to create a Tuud, 011
which carriers having served twenty
years or more may be retired on half
pay. The reports to be presented to the
convention will show that the association
has made gratifying progre-s both nu
merically and financially during the last
twelve months. The same is true of the
mutual benefit insurance branch of the
association.
The present officers of the National As
sociation are: President, John N. Par
sons, New York; vice-president, Charles
D. Duffy, Chicago; secretary, K- J. Cant
well, Brooklyn; treasurer, Alexander Mc
Monald, Grand Rapids.
The association was given birth at a
conference of letter-carriers held in Mil
waukee in August, 1SS9. The idea of the
founders was that < nly by a unity ol pur
pose and method could the condition of
this important body of ii.ixxj federal em
ployes he improved. The main object
at the time of organization was to secure
an increased salary for letter-carriers, and
its labors during the first year of its ex
istence were chiefly to that end. The
first annual convention was held in Bos
ton in 1890. A tout fifty cities were rep
resented, and there were fifty-three
branches of the association. During the
last decade the association has increased
rapidly in membership until it now em
biaces the carriers in all the chief cities
of the country Since the Boston gath
ering conventions have been held in De
troit, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Cleve
land, Grand Rapids, San Francisco, To
ledo and Scianton.
The policy of the association is now
and always has tocn tocooperate with the
postoffice department for the improve
ment of the service, and as a the
utmost friendly feeling existaiietweenthe
officials of the postoffice depamhe^ and
the National association. In the lastN^'
tort of Perry S. Heath as First Assistant*
Postmaster General, he spoke in the
highest terms of the association and gave
it a great deal of credit for the high state
of efficiency existing in the free-delivery
ssrvice.
Odell for Governor
Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 3.—-There is
hardly any impartial observer here who I
does not believe that the ticket to he
nominated by tomorrow's republican
state convention will to headed by Ben
jamin B. Odell, Jr., and that the other
state officers will he nominated with the
exception of the lieutenant-governor.
The second place on the ticket, is in
fact, the only one concerning which there
is any doubt. The New York delegation
favors the selection of ex-Mayor Schie
ren of Brooklyn, hut Mr. Schieren him
self has so tar displayed no eagerness for
the honor. All of the delegates have not
yet arrived, hut there )s a sufficient nuin
tor from Syracuse here to keep the talk
of State Senator Horace White's candi
dacy tofore the public. The leaders of
the party are busy at the United States
hotel today putting the finishing touches
to the platform to be adopted by the con
vention. The platform will to exceed
ingly brief and will deal largely with
state issues.

1 gress called to the platform Sidney J.
Kent, slate commissioner of labor in Ne
braska, who was sent to the congress as a
fraternal delegate by the American Fed
eration La tor. Today's proceedings
were purely routine and the serious busi
ness will l>e taken up tomorrow with the
introduction of the usual flood of resolu
tions. The session promises to to of
more general interest than usual. It is
reported that the moderate members of
the congress will submit a resolution hit
ting at radical socialism in order to strike
blow at the recently organized general
federation of labor unions, which is cotn
l«>sed largely of lator leaders of radical
socialistic tendencies and which, more
over, has met with such success as to
promise to become a strong rival of the
older body.
But few new topics are to to found on
the agenda of the present congress- For
the most part the resolutions will relate
to the time-honored question of old age
pensions, workmeu's compensation,
housing of the working classes, general
eight-hour day and child labor.
A Small Blaze.
Last night at 10 o'clock the frame of
fice building occupied by J. M Harring^
ton on East Main street was discovered
to to on fire, and tofore anyoue could
turn on the alarm the liuilding was a
mass of flames. The office stands ad
joining the Harrington residence on the
east and directly in front of the lutntor
yard owned by Mr. Harrington. Ed
Knight, who discovered the blaze, im
mediately came down to the city hall to
turn on the alarm and assist in hauling
the hose cart. I11 the meantime quite a
crowd of neightoirs had formed a bucket
hiigade and were; using every effort to
extinguish the fire, the object toing to
save the adjoining property. The hose
cart from the second ward was brought
out but the fire plug was so far away tliat
the hose could not to brought within
range, however, the hose from the city
liait station was connected and the water
turned on, hut not before a force of men
had pushed the building over by cutting
joist holding the roof. Louis Harrington
/was sleeping in the building at the time
and barely escaped a severe scorching.
Very few of the office effects were saved
the loss being atout $600 with no in
surance. The origin of the fire remains
a mystery as 110 lights or fire was in the
building at the time.
