DES MOINES , Jan. 1. ( Special Tele gram. ) The commute ? on classification of colleges made Us report to the college- sec tion ot the State Teachers' association this afternoon , and atter a bitter delntc ot tour hours the report was adopted and the smaller college ] of the state shut out from recogni tion by the State association.

The list of colleges now eligible to membership In the section stands : Stale university , Iowa Wesleyan university , Parsons , Coe , Upper Iowa university , Drake university , Cornell , Penn , Tabor , Ion a , Simpson and D.'s Molne ? . The reference of the committee's report to the Agricultural college was as follows : "Though standing apart from the colleges and university In the amount ot requirements for admission , and differing largely In the scope and character of Its course of study , yet possetulng an extensive equipment and ftrong faculty , and doing Its work with ef ficiency and to the general approval as a state technical school , wo recommend the Agricultural college.

Kentucky's ' Republican Governor Aspires to the Presidency. FRIENDS FORMALLY ENTER HIM IN THE RACE intlm : ln tlc Clllrcn * of ( lie lllnp ( ! rnH Stnte Moot unit 1'lrilno Their Support to Their Chief i\crntlvo. LOUISVILLE , Jan. 1. A special to the Pest from Frankfort , Ky. , says : A conven tion of leading republicans was held In the onico of Governor Bradley last night and the " " started. "Bradley boom" for present was This was the theme and the toasts to the governor were lull of happy Now Year's wishes for his politic-it preferment In the year 1S96. Yearly congratulations and b'st wishes were extended to the governor as the republican candldato for president of the United States by forty prominent repub licans from every congressional district In Kentucky , who called by agreement on that oDlclal last night. Among those present nt the meeting be sides Governor Bradley and some twenty other gentlemen whoso mines are not known , were the following : Judge A. H. AnJerson , Hopklnsvlllc ; Major A. T. AVood , Mount Sterling ; J. AA' . Langley , Presldonsbm-R ; J. B. Marcum , Jackson ; General J , E. H , He.i- son , Greensburg ; Ed Parker. London ; Lieu tenant Govmior AV. J. AVorthlngton. Hen- Jnmln Letcher , Henderson ; AV. S. Taylor. Moigatitown ; E. J. Scbree , Henderson ; Charles Blanford , Brecklnrldgo county ; Ed ward Farley , Padticah ; J. II. Happy , May- Held ; fi. T. Franks , Owcnsboro ; G. M. Brooks , Carlisle , and Judgs George Dubelle. AA'lifn some of his friends urged him to go Into the senatorial race , the governor re peated with vehemence that h * was not In the race nnd would not bo. This will doubt less bo good news to the various senatorial candidates , Messrs. Hunter , AVIlson. Holt , Debo ? and others. They will now bo left to fight It out among themselves. The real object of the meeting of the re publicans with Governor Bradley , It Is known , was In regard to that gentleman's candidacy for the pr sldcncy. It can bo stated here with entire accuracy that before the new- year was an hour old , every person present nt the meeting had pledged hi ins If to do nil ho could to elect n Bradley delegation from Kentucky to the national republican convention at St. Louis and to work In every possible way to s'cure lily nomination. MAN AVITII NO ENEMIES. It was agreed that a man who has no enemies , as hnvo Reed , McKlnley , Allison or Morton , certainly Is in n better position to gain the nomination than the other of the gentrmcn named. Further than this , Bradley Is a sound money man , who hns won his fight on a sound money platform. No other governor elected In the year just past can say the same and , besides. Gov ernor Bradley even went beyond his party's platform nnd made a winning fight. That Bradley la a man who Is In every way flt to fill the office was the belief of every republican present nt the motlng last night , and no thought will bo given to the con sideration of his name for the vlca presi dency. No second place for him was the determination of all those present. The result of the conference last night may be summed up as follows : All the stories concerning Governor Bradl y's can didacy for the senatorshlp are set at rest. Ho Is not a senatorial candidate , but has Ills ey on bigger gamo. Governor Bradley's name will go before the nitlonnl convention this year as a candidate for president. He will have a solid delegation from Kentucky , as well as delegations from a numb r of other southern states. Governor Bradley's name will not be considered as n vice presi dential candldato under any clrcumstancas. Rath-r than accept Ihls ho would prefer remaining governor of the state of Ken tucky. It Is the opinion of many repub licans that Bradley not only has a good : hance to be the next president , but b- jctweon the bickerings sure to occur among tht ; other presidential candidates , he win be turned to In splto of the fact tint hp Is south of the Ohio river , and nominated and eKctcd.
