The following poetry, written b,
Hon. j. n. Murphy, member from
Ozark county, is too good TO 60 un
published, and his friends have hi
permission to so publish it,:
Observing minds alone can tell,
What democrats will say;
How her leading men can sell
Or give themselves away.
I.-t week the democrats all said,
Thev won,eA silver free,
And surely he who had olcce led
Them on to victory
Would recognize the party will
OF silver in the west,
Also support the coinage bill
OF the great majestic Vest.
I Also, with emphases they said,
Should any man refuse,
Who has this party ever led
And thus the west misuse
BY opposition to our will,
A traitor let him be,
In politics, we will, him kill
And burn in eiligy.
But hush! What thunders from the
press?
'Tis Cleveland's voice l hear,
What Is he coming TO the west,
His party men to cheer?
I'm in suspense, what can it be?
The great republic rings,
But silence now, we'll read and see
The tidings which it brings.
What angry looks 1 see pervade
The democratic throng,
Who, at the capital have stayed
And supported Grover strong.
"Great Cod Is this the voice of he
On whom success depends,
D~enouncing silver coinage freeE'
Right here old Grocer ends.
"But now q serious question comes /;
Should we make haste to say
Because great Grover differs some,
Well cast him quite away"
''Bcsides free speech is his to hold
As well as ours to WELD,
And when our leader speaks so bold
We democrats must yield
"Besidcs all this it may not be,
We sec the matter right
Let's cheer our hero, for you see
In him we all delight"
What thinkest thou observing minds?
Who have this story read.
Do questions of a certain kind
Create q party head?
Oh no, the name Of democrat
Is all they want to see.
Questions must bend themselves to
that.
What TeriJHiyi
Under that name we have free trade
And protective tariff too,
Double and single taxation laid
And tariff for revenue.
1t is the caption for free coin
And restriction of the mint,
And any question else may join
And to that name be bent.
Consistency, a jewel thou art,
Adorned in wisdom true.
And when blind leaders fall apart
The wise will stay with you.

Harrison-McKinIsy Says Ohio Has
no Foraker-sheyaan Fight
LOUISVILLE, Aug 4-Kentucky held a
state election yesterday. From the fact
shat the Peoples party has made terrific
fight during the campaign the election is
ef more than usual importance.
Four tickets were in the fleld-the Demo
cratic, the Republican, the Peoples party
and Prohibition. The Prohibition ticket
cut smaller figure than usual, the Re
publican about the same, while the Peo-
ple's and the Democratic divided honors
so far as the legislature is concerned.
The Democrats Successful.
The Democratic state ticket is elected by
sbout,the usual majority 900 to 10000
The ticket is as follows: Governor John
Young Brown; lieutenant governor, N. Q.
Afford: attorney general, w. j. HendricS;
auditor, L. c. Norman; treasurer, II. S.
Hale: superintendent OF public instruction,
Ed Porter Thompson
The Alliance on Top.
The new constitution has carried with
sweep and the majority for il is placed at
anything from 80, 900 to 100000 The Peo-
Piles party has polied oniy about 10000
votes. These have come mostly from the
Republican party. While the Alliance
was supposed to be back Of the Peoples
party it has done very little for 1t on ne
count OF dissensions which arose last
January
The Alliance has devoted itself 10 the
legislature and probably has practical con
troll Of that body, and so viii control the
revision OF the laws under the new eonsti-
tuition. In only few instances has the
Alliance put out candidates in opposition
to the Democratic nominees, but it has
taken care to control the Democratic
nominations. So while the legislature
will be nominally Democratic IL will have
strong Alliance Affiliations aud tendencies.

in 16 minutes aud 81 seconds. He made
the start at 4. 40 and finished at 4.56 81.
This run breaks the record by over two
minutes, and it will probably be some
time before this last record Is broken.

considered very good.
