la his speech, Congressman Hen
drlcks referred TO some facts con-
cerning State matters that il is well
to remember,
In 1867, when the Democrats took
charge, there was a law authorizing
a %. 90 poll tax, now the law made
by Democrats allows q poll tax OF
only $3.50. In 1867, when the
Democrats took charge, the school
per capita, was only ~ cents, now,
under Democratic management, it is
81 So. Then we had only 60 and
80 days school. now we have five and
SIX months school. Then anybody
who could read and write Was allow
ed 10 draw the salary, now teachers
have to be qualified.
1t is charged that We are paying
more for salaries now, but the facts
are that We are paying the State off,
GERS the same salaries that were paid
them in 1867, For ten years these
salaries had been cut down: now they
are right where they were in 1867.
Some new offices had been created,
because new interests demanded
them. In 1867, we had very few
railroads, now We had thousands OF
miles, and these great corporations
had to be looked after to see that
they paid taxes on their property like
other people: we had no county Sup.
ervisors TO see that the county was
properly listed for taxation, and to
make the railroads come up fair, we
have railroad commissioners. We
have mining interests that we did not
have in 1867; we have banks that we
did not have in 1867, and all these
needed looking after, hence the ne
cessity of some new officers:
In the Republican State Of Michi-
gan, where they have practically the
same officers as in Kentucky, they
pay their officers $l6O, 900 more than
Kentucky pays hers.
In the Republican State Of Kan
sas, they pay their officers $50, 600
more than Kentucky pays.
In Ohio, rock-ribbed Republican,
the State pays 1919, 900 more to its
officers than does Kentucky.

The Situation.

The tide has been against us and
in our favor, against us again and yet
aDother time our way. After the
first joint debate between Bradley and
Hardin it was decidedly against US.
Then after the Eminence episode Il
was with US and Republicans we're
detected and despairing. Bradley,
however, rallied and a wave of Re.
publican enthusiasm again swept over
the state. But the past ten days
Democratic confidence has been grow
ing. The people have become dis
gusted with overdone Republican
campaign stories and refuse longer to
believe them. Gen. Hardin has had
an unexampied tour through the
mountains, where it was said he had
few silver sympathlzers, but whence
comes the news he will lead even the
mountain men on the ticket. the
Papulist vote is being fast dissipated

tri cts send even better reports those

Democracy. But most significant ol
all is the present situsti IN in Louis
vile. A visitor TO that city TO day
will find far different aspect upon
the political horizon from that which
existed ten days ago. Many sign,f.
can't changes have been made. Hun
dreds of pr 'minent men, who were
counted as lost to the Democratic
party for the present, have relented
and declared their intention 10 vote
the whole ticket. Some of these have
even become liberal contributors to
the Democratic campaign fund. They
have come TO their sober senses.
They have realized that the defeat o!
the Democratic ticket, or any member
of it, this year, means that Kentucky
will be hopeless to the Democrats in
the presidential campaign next year;
that the worst blow they could strike
their own political favorites for the
future would be to stab Hardin nov;
that to scratch tie head Of the Dem
Ocratic ticket would result in minimiz
ing Louisville's representation and in
fuence in future Democratic cOnven-
tons The situation is growing
better and better every day. 1t can
be felt in the atmosphere. The Dem.
ocratlc campaign managers were yes
terday IN high spirits. Their good
returns from all over the state were
supplemented by a most Satisfactory
pull Of Jefferson county showing SOC
Democratic majority. The work OF
effective Democratic organization IL
going on rapidly in Louisville. Tn,
best men of the party have undertaken
it. All is encouraging.
Upon the part OF the Republican
leaders in Louisville it is admitted
that the Democrats are making con
siderable gains in that city. Priv
ately they no longer claim with any
show OF confidence Bradley's elec.
ton. No bets can be had from
them. They still boast, and seem
to believe. however, that the
best Hardin can come to Louisville,
with IL, 900 majority, and they have
not abando ed all hope that thev can
overcome this there.
This is the true situation as the
Messenger gets it from its cwn ave-
nues of information from the Demo
cratic campaign committee. who
have not hesitated to frankly tell il
the news that was unfavorable when
1t vas unfavorahIe and from high
Republican sources.
1t is not claimed that the Demo
Gratis will win by an old time MAORI
~ Of 30, 200 or 10000, but it is
quite manifest that the old party,
which has never failed to carry Ken
lucky, will have signal triupmh on
November 8, all circumstances con
sidered. And II the gains continue
during these closing days Of the
campaign, in the ratio they have
come the past week, there may be u
majority that will surprise every.
body. -Owensbero Messenger.

The report Of the commissioner Of
Education Cor the yeer ended Novem
Der 80. 1898, which has just been
published, shows that the number OF
pupils enrolled in schools and colleges
public and private, was 1888, $50,
or 22.5 per cent of the country. Oh
this number, 13,510;719 were in the
public schools, and they had 122, 056
male and 260,954 female teachers.
According to the details of attend
ance, it appears that children in the
United States leave school for about
two-tifths of the year to engage in
labor, or from other motives. In the
last twenty years, the value of school
property and the amount OF common
expenditure have more than doubled.

John Hendricks speech last Fri
day was one of the best that has been
made in Marion this year. The
crowd to hear him was small, but he
spoke with none the less enthusiasm.
His speech was devoted mainly to
state issues, and the fair and impair
tial spirit with which he treated bis
subject, made him the more convinc.
ng. He did not discuss the currency
question, but urged Democrats, irres.
pective of their views on this point to
rally to the support Of the state
ticket. Nothing, ne said, could be
gained on this question by a failure
to support Hardin-a worthy man,
who had always been found battling
for the cause Of Democracy.
