BRYAN IN KENTUCKY.
The Democratic Candidate to Speak
at louisville and Lexington.

at Louisville and Lexington.
New York, Aug. 29.-NTr Bryan. the
presidential candidate, will make two
speeches in Kentucky, the dates for
which have not yet been fixed. These
speeches will be at Lexington and
Louisville.
When Senator Blackburn was in this
city few days ago, he told of a con-
versation he had had with Mr.. Bryan
on the situation in Kentucky. Mr..
Blackburn and Mr.. Bryan were talking
over the campaign in New York, when
the latter suggested that he was anx-
iOus about the blue grass state, and
hoped to go down there to make a
couple of speeches during his tour of
the country. Mr.. Blackburn assured
the candidate that he had no fear of
his state. that it could be relied upon to
give a good Democratic majority, and
that the backbone of the gold forces
there had been broken.
Somewhat to Mr.. BIackburn's cha
grin, the candidate did not seem fully
converted to this hopeful view of the
situation, and insisted that he wanted
to make speeches in Louisville and
Lexington, and before the two parted
it was agreed between them that the
programme for the Kentucky campaign
should include two immense meetings,
at which Mr.. Bryan would be present
and talk.

NOT ENOUGH GOLD.
Bank of England Feeling the Gold
Withdrawals.

London, Aug. 29-The Westminster
Gazette says that the Bank of England
is beginning to feel the gold withdraw
ais, and has therefore reduced the price
of eagles and raised the price of bar
gold, with the object of inducing ship
pers to take eagles.
The paper mentioned adds that it is
probable, however, that the bank will
be forced to further raise the price OF
bar gold in order to retain it, but the
newspaper further states that it is not
likely that enough gold would be with
drawn to cause a rise in the banks
rates of discount. With gold at the
present figure. it is further stated that
it is probable that the bank will permit
a further withdrawal of seven and even
measures.

that question I will give you my idea
as to political matters as they stand

IF the election was to be held this
month Bryan would. in my judgment.
carry one or two states in the east. The
silver movement is Handicapped by
several things. Among others, the
press. In this state the entire press.
with one exception, is against Bryan.
What are called the solid Democrats.
those who usually contribute for cleo
ton expenses, have bolted, so that the
party is without leaders or friends to
meet the expense of the campaign. The
Republicans have their leaders and
money enough to run their campaign
without friction. The wOrkingmen are
for Bryan, but they are poor, and you
know what that means. In my opinion
Bryan will not carry an eastern state.

Michigan, Illinois, Missouri and West
