Such Is the Edfct OF Henry Wattersop,
Keeper Of the "ssar-Eyed Goddess"
LOUISVILLE, Nov. 1.-THE Democrats
had monster demonstration here tonight,
the Governor of the State and half of the
Legislature coming from Frankfort to take
part in il. Fully 10000 men. representing
the Democratic clubs of the three cities
about the falis-Louisville, Now Albany
and Observation-Disclosures part In the parade.
Fully 25,0o0 people gathered in courthouse
square. The principal speech was made By
Mr.. Watterson.
''If." began Mr.. Watterson, "I were Re-
publican / should feel tonight very like
the gentleman. who. returning from his
club, suddenly found his way blocked
by tree. He receded and took another
angle, but with the same result. Finally,
when this had happened three or four
times. he folded his arms. sat down upon
the curb stone aud. IN despairlng tones. ex-
claimed: Lost In an impenefrable Forest"
The speaker then proceeded to pay his re-
spects TO those who had accused him of in
activity IN the campaign. declaring that
he had been steadily at his post of duty.
aud then addressed himself as follows to
the general situations:

such an astonishing likeness between the
Democratic tariff plank and the conteder-
