Mckinley and BradleySuggesteC
as Republican Nominees.
A Kentucky Paper Launches the
Boom for These.
ABOLISHES SECTION
This Would Wipe Out Mason
and Dixon Line.
Platform Would be Protection
and Gold Standard.

LEXINGTON, KY, Nov. s.-The Lead
er, the leading Repu blican newspaper
in Ken lucky, always a stalwart sup
porter of Governor Mckinley for the
presidency, declares for Mckinley for
president and Governor-elec Bradley
for vice president. The Leader says:
''The overwhelming victory in Ohio
under the brilliant leadership of Nc
Kinley, Foraker and Bushnell gives a
new impetus to the presidential candi-
dacy of William Mckinley, and the
election of William O. Bradley as the
first Republican governor Kentucky
has ever had, makes him vice presi-
DENTAL possibility. Mckinley is the
embodiment of the protective tariff
principle, and Bradley's election is
triumph for sound money. Mckinley
and Bradley stand for protection and
honest money, the issues upon which
next years national campaign must
be won. Mckinley and Bradley, as
president, would obliterate Mason and
Dixon's line from the political map
and mark the complete reconciliation
of the North and South and thus
nationalize our politics"
LOUIS VILE, Ky. Nov. s-The re-
turns sent in up to this morning give
Bradley a plurality of over 1900, and
the few counties not yet heard from,
some seven or eight, including those
from which only incomplete returns
have been received, are expected to
swell the figures above 1900. The
result in the legislature is still doubt
full, with the chances in favor of the
Republicans on Joint ballot.

no question is likely to arise before
the presidential year which will bring
the Democrats back to power. So far as
our relations with the United States
are concerned, the issue IS of exceed

other change than another American

felt in this country at Tammany's

how to use their newly acquired power
with discretion, and to them must be
ascribed the defeat"

Prices of All Farm Machinery VIII Soon
Be Advanced.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov s.-There is
to be a general advance in prices of
all farm implements and machinery
before the supply of goods for the COM
ing season is shipped from the factor
les. The matter has been considered
and has received the Endorsement of
nearly all of the strong associations of
manufacturers of the country. Those
who have not already agreed to the
advance are not strong enough to COM
bat the combine for increase of price,
and even if they were, they lack the
disposition.
The advance has been ordered bv
the combine, and when the new price
lists from the factories make their
appearance they will show an increase
of from 81 to s. on wagons, and from
81 to s. added to the cost of plows and
other machinery used by farmers.
The advance is to include everything
from a steam thresher to a garden
rake.
