CLOVERPORT, KY, October 30. 1895.
There was an old-time Kentucky political
meeting down at Cloverport, in the hill coun-
try along the Ohio river, today, and it was a
big day for the district. Cloverport is on
the line of railroad which bears the high
sounding title of the Louisville, st. Louis
and Texas railway. The road starts out
bravely from Louisville in the direction of
Texas, with kind of general slant towards
st. Louis, as though desiring to bear that
terminus in mind all the while, and proceeds
in this fashion for about 40 miles, where it
finally becomes discouraged and stops short.
1t may be, that, arriving at point where
st. Louis bears to the northwest and Texas
to the southwest. the problem of taking in
both places on the same line seems too big.
and the road just throws. up the job. The
line gets safely past Cloverport. however,
before ending.
The town is one of those quiet, old Ken
lucky river settlements, peopled by nice
folks, who are the soul of hospitality. There
is nothing too good for the visitor while he
stays with them. The place is mainly built
on the sides of one long street running along
the bluff overhanging the river. When there
is good stage of water in the Ohio the town
overlooks busy panorama on the great

appoint a gold standard Senator, man
who believes "in the honest dollar of the re-
publican party, of John Sherman, of Grover
Cleveland and John G. Carlisle" The crowd
does not quite seem to understand the COM
bnation.
His talk against free coinage does not
strike 4 popular chord, apparently. This
was explained later, when l saw big sta tx

ford to buy copies had snapped tobacco and

Finding his audience growing FESTIVE under
the free silver castigatiop, the willy speaker
switches off onto hot republican doctrines of
standard character, and again carries the
audience with him. They promise him to
come out and vote on election day, and one
old democrat on the edge of the crowd cries
out, YES an We'll be thar, too
After the speaking there is general
rush for the wagons and teams. They mitch
up and bundle in the women folks' who
have utilized the time and the mellowed
condition of their lords and masters since

ment-to do a little trading" at the stores
They line out the dusty road in lively pro-
cession, homeward bound, squirting their
teams in friendly rivalry and bantering
each other as they go. My last impression
OF Cloverport is of three h6rsemen on the
brow of the HILL vivdly outlined against the
western horizon, brandishing their big soft
hats and shouting "Hurrah for old KAN

water highway between the Alleghanies and
the gulf. In the hill country south of the
river are prosperous farms, and tightly
packed tobacco warehouses in Cloverport at
this season of the year bear witness to their
productivenesS.
The republican candidate for governor,
Col Bradley, was billed to speak at Glover
port. and the fact had been well advertised
among the country people for days pre-
viously. Long before the hour set for the
speaking they had begun to arrive, horse
back and in wagons, with here and there
buggy, in which some young back-country
buck was bringing his girl to hear the orator
Of the day. Plain people, as a rule, used to
hard labor and plenty of it, Some of them
had ridden many miles for the occasion,
starting from their lonely hillside farms
long before break of day. The average Ken
tuckian will start the night before, if it is
necessary. In order to hear good Speaking"
Roscoe Conkling once remarked to Col.
Bradley that in the north men are educated
to be orators, and in the south they are born
orators. 1t is certain that the love of ora
tory is born in the people.
This 10 close district, because these hill
country people are sturdy and indcpeud-
ent set of men, and vote sometimes The
democratic ticket and at others for the re-
publican candidates. There is a large nu-
cleus of dyed-in-the-w republicans, how
ever, and when you strike one of these fell
lows you find the stubbornest, most ire
pressible type of republicanism represented
in him. His creed is narrow, but based up
on a rock-the name of Abraham Lincoln.
HIS allegiance to. the party is of the blind,
urquesto ring sort that never swerveS. He
believes IN free coinage in these parts, but
when the leaders come around and tell him
to vote the straight ticket and leave the
financial question to ADLER heads than his,
he comes up without a niurmur and votes
the ticket. firm in the belief that somehow
or other the party will straighten out the
problem in the right way.
These bill country men that gather on the
streets today are very much alike in form
and face Tall and spare, with prominent
features and sardy hair and beard. They
are meditative in manner. slow to speak,
but mighty quick to act when aroused AS

general hue of the country in the fall.
Nocntime comes and the crowd goes sin
gly and in groups to the horses and wag-
ons hitched and picketed in convenient
places, to feed the stock and themselves.
Fodder is what the horses and mules get,
with occasionally measure of corn. The

which follows along to the grist mill, where
Col Bradley is to speak from the open
door. The people crowd around and the
band stops its efforts while Col. Bradley is
introduced to his audierce.
He is a good talker and good politician.
He seconded the nomination of Mr. Grant
in the days of the 306 and his voice has
been heard in many national conventions.
Before he begins today he sizes up his all
dience and takes the intellectual measure
ment of his hearers. He talks in plain
figure of speech and punctuates his polIti-
cal paragraphs with Jokes. All the old IA

again, and l recognize many an old &C
