Before another issue Of The HERALD
the Louisville convention will have her
aided 10 the world the names of the
lucky ones in the race for State offices.
We have carefully canvassed the chances
of each candidate for gubernatorial hon
ors. We have read the pro and con
comment In nearly every newspaper in
the State about each of the four aspir-
ants, and we are firmly convinced that
Hon. John Young Brown Is fayorite in
the pools. OF course, each candidate has
a coterie of conscientious admirers who
are clamOring for their choice, but care
fully counting all the chances against
him, we conclude that Mr.. Brown will
go into the Louisville convention with n
larger number favoring his nomination
than any man named. II is hardly prob
able that he will have sufficient votes TO
nominate him on the first ballot, but
when the hindmost man il dropped, so
many will drift 10 him that his nomina-
ton will be an easy matter. We do not
see how it is possible to defeat him, and
for the good of the State we hope no
unfair means will he used to do 80.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WAsHINGToN, May |, lS9

WASHINGTON, May |, 1891.
Senator PETER does not like the charge
that has been made against him of his
being victim to the Presidential itch,
and he told friend that he thought il
was but part of the prearranged pro-
gramme 10 use ridicule or any other wea-
pom that might be available to break the
force of the arguments he has made since
he came East in defense of the rising of
the common people, rs represented by
the Farmers Alliance and organizations
in sympathy Herewith. He says fur
ther that he isn't a candidate for Presi-
dent, and doesn't expect to be, as he cal
culates TO devote the next six years TO
the service of the people on the floor of
the United States Senate chamber, and
that is about as large contract AS he
cares to undertake during that time.
What is the actual condition Of the
United States treasury How much
cash, available for immediate use, has
the Secretary of the Treasury at his
commando These questions would seem
to be simple and easy enough to answer,
but what knowledge does the public gain
when the daily treasury balance sheet
gives the surplus of available cash rs
between eleven and twelve millions; the
director Of the mint gives 1t rs S25S, 000,-
600, aud Secretary Foster at 10000, 600.
Which, II either, is rightH Certainly
all cannot be. Mr.. Foster very sensibly
says that he believes it wise to discuss
the financial affairs of the government
with the public, and most people will
agree with him; but solid foundation
is necessary in order 10 discuss the mat
ter understandingly, and this foundation
can not be had until the people are given
an authoritative statement concerning
the present condition Of the Treasury.
Let plain statement be prepared Of the
seven hundred and odd millions Of dol
lars that ARE known 10 be In the treasury,
showing Just what are trust funds and
which the money owned outright by the
government, and be given out In place

Some Of the papers in the State have
recently claimed that DIR. Clardy would
be willing TO take half loaf II he can
not lug of the whole gubernatorial gin
ger cake. Plainly speaking, IL has been
predicted that In event he Is defeated in
the nomination for Governor, he will
drop In for Lieutenant Governor and
antagonize Afford. DIR. Clardy emphati-
cally denies the charge, and says that he
has never dreamed Of doing such thing.
He says the report was circulated 10 in

and In justice 20 him we wish 20 add that

From nearly every county in the
mountains of Eastern Kentucky comes
the gratifying and encouraging news
that the conventions held in the several
counties OH Saturday last instructed for
Judge G.. b. Swango for Register of the
Land Office. Indeed, every one heard
from up to the present writing have sent
delegates instructed for him. This is IA
it should be, and we earnestly hope that
Eastern Kentucky will go into the State
convention with solid column cham
pioning his cause. With the full sup
port of this section his nomination Is
assured, for that he will have generous
support from other portions of the State
has all along been an accepted fact.
" Hurrah for Swango," and let every
Eastern Kentucky delegate practice the
shibboleth 80 that we may sound ii in "A
loud voice when the convention assem-
bes at Louisville next Wednesday.

Present indications lead us 10 believe
that Hon. NJ. G. Afford will have no
opposition in the Louisville convention
on the 18th inst, but we advise his
friends throughout Kentucky to be pre-
pared for any emergency that may arise.
As we have all along claimed, he ought
to receive the nomination by acclama-
ton, but IL the bee buzzing in the bonnet
Of some fellow from one of the back
counties should at any time sting Mitch
Afford, the latters friends should be
prepared To clip its wings. No man has
cleaner record in public and private life
than Mitch Afford, no man of his age
ever did 40 much for the Democratic
party in Kentucky, and we hope every
delegate in the State will go to the Lou
isville convention determined TO demand
Affords nomination by acclamation."

Of the present complicated statement
that nobody outside of the treasury de-
partment seems to understand at all and
which is Interpreted differently inside
that building.
1t is believed that the friends of Mr..
Harrison have succeeded in getting Mr..
Blaine to promise that he will write a
letter which will make it impossible for
his name to he considered as Presiden.
tial possibility, and which will throw
the entire Blaine influence to Mr.. Harri-
son. Mrs. Blaine has been a valuable
ally to the Harrison forces, as she Is
most bitterly opposed to her husband
ever going through another campaign at
the head of his party's ticket, believing
that the worry would certainly kill him.
Mr.. Blaine, If one may believe his close
personal friends, needed very little per-
suasion as far as the use of his own
name is concerned, as he had long ago
reached the conclusion that he would
never be President, and made up his
mind never again to be a candidate. The
Harrison boom has received an unex-
pected accession in the support of Sena-
tor Quay and Mr.. Clarkson, who were
considered as being opposed to the re-
nomination Of Mr.. Harrison, and this Is
understood here TO mean that there will
be no organized opposition to him.
Ex-senator Blair will not go to China
as United States minister, for the very
plain reason that the emperor of China
has notified the department Of State that
he does not want him to come. Mr..
Blair will be sent elsewhere, probably to
Japan.
The report of the investigation made
by u. s. officials Of the records of the
Italians lynched at New Orleans has
been received at the department of jus.
tice ard turned over 10 Mr.. Blaine. 1t
will probably not be made public until
after Mr.. Harrison returns and possibly
not until the Italian government is again
heard from.
The House and Senate joint committee
charged with the Investigation Of the
printing aud distribution of public docu-
ments has, after doing considerable work,
adjourned until June. II is already ap-
parent that the committee will be able
TO point out the way to save several
hundred thousand dollars year without
injury to public interests. 60.
Gen. Scho6eld says he is pleased with
the progress made in enlisting Indians in
the army, and that he hopes some of the
Indian troops may be organized and suf-
ficiently disciplined to be stationed at
the Worlds Fair in 1898.
Considerable interest in the speaker
ship fight was aroused this week by the
presence here of Mr.. McMillin and sew
eral OF his lieutenants in conference.
None of the gentlemen would say what
they came for, but Il was evident that
they thought IL important.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

The New York Sporting World says: Roger Connor's work has attracted more than the usual amount of attention dur ing the past few days, on account of the report of his displacement by Captain Ewing. The reason advanced for such a step is that the quiet baseman has not been batting with his old time effective ness. His work on the bag has never been better, however. He has been fielding as never before, notwithstand- ing his setback in stick work. The fact of the matter is, Connor has not made as many home runs and other long hits as in former years, and for that reason his average is believed to be below the standard. Nevertheless, figures will prove that Connor, considering that he has played more games than the ma jority of the team, is only surpassed in batting by o ORourke and Herman.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Controversy Between John DeIane,
 and the Second Division, A. o. H.

The Controversy Between John Delaney
 and the Second Division, A. 0. H.
 To the Editor EvF~'NG DEMOCRAT.
 Dear Sir-I hope you will accord me space in your paper to make correc tion and complete denial of an article appearing in the Sunday Herald relative to my trouble with the Second Division, A. o. H. It is not my wish to be at variance with a society to which have for many years belonged, but right is right, and that is all I ask. The circum- stances, truthfully, are, that my wife was taken sick with typhoid fever and then working in the family of Fred J. Brown, and not boarding with me. His family was in Woodmont and she came in the latter part of my wife's sickness to attend her, and was ready to go to Ireland two days after I was taken down. Does any sane man think that a person having that dreaded disease did not need watcher ? Dr. Mcdonald can answer that my condition was critical, and needed one. The sick committee sad needed one. They knew my wife disease and could not attend me, so they appointed my sister. Naturally she she would give me more attention than an outsider After my being out of bed five days I had relapse, and then it was harder on me than in the first sick ness. Did I need anyone to attend me then? Sensible people know I did. The sick committee knew l did, but their only excuse for not giving me one then was that two members were dead and assessments calling for same. I put my sister on, and had not done so I would not be writing this to-day. I had to pay her, and now want what I have all along been paying for. It was not for honor, but for benefits that I joined the order. I want it plainly to be under stood that it was not ''to take the wolf from the door" that my sister was hired. I received none of her pay. She earned it, and what they paid her was her own. The laws call for a nurse when needed am incapable of playing trick on a society. I want what contract for at initiation and what I am entitled to by the laws of the order, and that I vii have. Respectfully yours,
 JOHN DELANEY.
