The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1894-10-31

Grand Finale Al Cloyerpot Next Saturday,

| At this writing the County candidates
have been on ten days stamping tour
reaching every important point in the
county. During the session Of Circuit
| Court they took rest from speaking but
not from another quality which makes
the candidate popular, that OF hand
shaking. This went on all the time, but
some Of the candidates being engaged at
court, they were necessarily compelled
TO lay of their appointments for speak
ing until that important tribunal wound
up its business. Court over, they went
at il again. Garfield was the first point
at which the speaking began and the
crowd there was unusually large for
country gathering, A number of the
good women were there and host of
small boys The good old sturdy farmer
though was the chap TO whom the can
ddate addressed himself. These old
fellows came ont to hear, for so much
discussion of political matter has been
going on that the farmer particularly
wants all the light he can get. In this
trio of political offices seekers it may be
sud that old Breckenridge this year has
her full share. None OF them are in
clined TO give an inch Of territory, The
populists who are nagged about good
deal and who were not in il three months
ago, still hold on with death grip" as
il were and are now claiming much more
than they will everget Smith Waggoner
is their great apostle now and where he
leads the others How. At Garfield, the
Populsts have some following, but the
Republicans are really in the lead there,
The Garfield element is practically made
up of voters from Lost Run, a strong
Republican point that once voted for q.
2. jolly with a vim. Ten years ago Lost
Run had voting place and nearly every
man in it voted the Republican ticket.
Time however removed that voting place
and forced them all to Hardinsburg,
where the Democrats could get chance
at 'em and divide the gang. This has
been successfully accomplished and now
the Democrats do not stand in awe Of
the vote from that neck Of the woods.
The speaking at Garfield was a little
tame in some resp cts 10 what it was at
Hardinsburg. Judge Board and Reuben
Miller here removed their brass collars
and were as peaceful as two young lambs
Miller had evidently learned that il
wouldn't do TO arouse an old campaigner
like Board, and their meeting each sue
cessive day on the stump, since they
we're at llardinsbure has been most
peaceful. Judge Murray, who was 30
long winded in the beginning OF his
canvass has cut his speech down to a
plain talk Of fifteen minutes, and it takes
better.
At all the points where the candidates
have appeared they have been met with
good crowds. At Jacksonville the big
side of the crowd goes with the Republi-
cans again, but when You set down to
McDsniels and across into Custer, here
it changes rapidly, and the woods are
fairly alive with voting Democrats. The
candidates have been speaking at these
places this week and they have worked
up such an interest that full vote may
be looked for at every point. The Dem
ocratic candidates alone are not doing all !
the speaking. They have been re-
enforced by some local campaigners, who |
are hitting the enemy here and there.
Monarch, Murray and Brown have APP
pointments and will doubtless pick up
any that have fell by the way. With |
the Republicans Mr.. Blaniord is billed |
for few points, 40 il seems that every
available spot is being cared Tor by some
body.
But the great and final rallying day is
to be at Cloverport next Saturday. The
boys all around are coming 10 this place |
and il will not be surprising il it dosen't |
turn out TO he the biggest day that there
has been in the whole canvass. II will |
be eliminating point. A winding up
day, and you may look out for a rouser.
The boys are laying for Cloverport and |
there will be battle royal among them
as 10 who will carry the day. Hardinsbnrg
will send down q delegation and Steph-
ensport, Union Star and other places,
will send in their quota 10 see the final
end OF the canvass. Here is where the
boys will make their last charge then
they will 50 home 10 settle the question
finally with the ballots.
