THE SITUATION IN KENTUCKY,

By vote Of 691 to 206 the Kentucky State
Democratic Convention condemned Cleve-
land and Carlisle and their alleged Demo-
cratic policy. Had the vote been some
where near tie there would be some hope
for the administration, for it sometimes
occurs that new developments oblige re-
consideration, but in this case the senti-
ment OF the party is SO overwhelming in
its opposition that no place on the admin
istration is left for whitewash. And the
worst of it is that Mr.. Carlisle, hitherto the
Idol of the Kentucky Democracy, is black
ened, condemned and kicked out OF the
party.
1t will be observed that the convention
made no attack upon Citizen Carlisle.
Doubtless there was no disposition to do
that in any event, for it is conceded by
members of all parties that personally Mr..
Carlisle integrity is unassailable. 1t fol-
lows then that the convention rebuked
Cleveland and his entire following
for selling out the party to the
money power, as represented by Banker
Morgan of New York and Banker Roth
schild of London. Paris! Berlin and vi
emma. Moreover, the convention went

about 1T in the most deliberate and deter
mined manner, as a surgeon would go
about amputatlng leg. No doubt 1T was
an unpleasant job. but it had to be done,
and 1t was done most effectually.
What the effect of it all will be on Ken
lucky politics is not so difficult to forecast.
The feeling that Carlisle's friends now en-
tertain toward the Black burn following is
so bitter that they would very much pre-
fer that the State should return Republi-
can electors next November than that
Blackburn should triumph, and no doubt
they will throw their influence and ener-
gies in that direction. And, again, the
Wing element in Kentucky, which is large
and influential, has never taken kindly to
the Democratic free-trade theories, al
though in recent years it has affiliated
with that party because of social relations.
Now, however, that the Democratic party
is split without disturbing social ties, it
would be no surprise if Kentucky were
shifted permanently to the Republican
column,

DUTY OF THE DELEGATION.

In the course of an interview with the
reporter of an evening contemporary yes
terday Delegate Samuel NJ. Shortridge
said two things which ought to be burned
with flaming iron into the consciences of
every one of bis colleagues in the st. Louis
convention. Mr.. Shortridge declared first
that in his opinion it was the paramount
duty of the delegation of which he is a
member to subordinate every interest and
personal aspiration to harmony, and,
second, by SO doing to secure from the Re-
publican nominee for President the promise
of place for California in the Cabinet 1t
is not necessary to recapitulate here the
reasons Mr.. Shortridge gave for the desira-
bility of accomplishing through the former
process the latter result. They ought to
be apparent to any rejecting man.
Il the California delegation to the st.
Louis convention shall, by maintaining
harmony in its ranks, secure for this State
Cabinet Office, it will achieve something
that ought to mark every man in it for
future political preferment. Compared
with any other thing which the politicians
promise US this year, that of having this
State represented at the National council
board sinks them all into insignifcance
We have no hesitation in saying that an
intelligent and honest Cabinet officer from
California could, were he sufficiently in
dustrious to make the most of his oppor-
tunities, accomplish more for the good of
the State in ore term than our Congress
sional delegation of nine could accomplish
in twenty years.
No person who has not served term
near the National council board has any
conception of the ignorance which pre-
walls there concerning the ''far West"
The idea the average Cabinet official en-
tertains of California is that it is a warm
country around the Golden Gate where
gold is found in the earth, where big
pumpkins and squashes grow, and where
the people, who go armed to the teeth and
engage in daily shooting affrays, make a
large quantity of dried fruit and fair
quality of wine every year. That the State
is entitled to anything more from the
Government than it can knock down and
drag out by sheer muscular force never
occurs to him.
A Californian sitting daily with the
President and his Ministers could not
only in time convince the Government
that we are no longer uncivilized but that
we are deserving of recognition whenever
our petition is filed. II the Californian

A WORD TO REPUBLICANS.

The chairman OF the executive commit
tee of the Republican State Central Com
mittee, Frank Mclaughlin, has issued q
circular letter to the officers and rank
and file of the several organizations which
should be carefully read and every sug-
gestion promptly acted upon. The letter
Is rather more clear ana prehensive
than the party is used to receiving, and
if the instructions are carefully observed
we shall go into the fight with perfectly
formed line of battle.
Chairman Mclaughlin urges the kind of
wol King organization that shall stand in
close touch from the little band of workers
in the most out of the way place on UP to
the State Central Committee. By this
means not only is the central committee
aware all the time of what is being done
for and against the party, but no matter
where outbursts of enthusiasm occur they
quickly permeate the whole line and
create that singleness of purpose which
makes the party as whole energetic and
determined.
The chairman's suggestion TO ratify
and confirm the work of State and local
conventions is good one. for every public
expression of confidence in and satisfac-
ton at the declared wish of the party in
convention strengthens the hands OF the
managers of the campaign and correspond
ingly discourages the opposition. His
recommendation for the organization of
local clubs should be acted upon at once,
for it is the local effort that stimulates the
general organization, and, too, it is to the
local organization the party, as whole,
looks TO keep enthusiasm aglow and to get
out the entire vote.
The Importance of thorough club organi-
Zation is felt most when the club makes it
its business to see that every Republican
is registered, and also in noting accessions
to the party, and lukewarmness, if any
should appear. In fact the local club
should know from day'to day about what
the voting strength of the party is. and
when this information reaches the chair
man of the executive committee from all
over the State from time to time, he knows
where there are weak spots to be strength
ened and strong spots to be made stronger
But Chairman McLaughliu's circular bet
ter covers all these points, and more too,
and if the rank and file will work upon
the lines so clearly blazed by the chair
man a most satisfying victory will be
secured

SPANS DEMAND.

If it is true that Spain is about TO de-
mand the extradition of persons who have
been aiding Cuba in the way of sending
out or engaging in alleged filibustering
expeditions, the issue between the Wash
lngton and the Madrid governments will
be joined to some purpose. 1t is said that
the Spanish Minister, Senor de LONE, has
ascertained from high legal authority that
it is just as easy to gobble up and carry
over 10 Cuba all persons who have en-
gagged in so-cailed filibustering expedi-
tions as it is to partake of Spanish dim
ner. Perhaps Mr.. de LONE misunderstood
the high legal authority. There is vast
difference between the right to demand
extraditlon and the right to extradite, an d
we doubt not it was the former that his
attorney said his Government had the
right to do.
1t is to be hoped, however, that per-
emptory demand will be made for the
arrest and surrender to General Weyler OF
every man in the United States who is
suspected of aiding and abetting the Cuban
insurgents, especially all alleged flibus-
ters. A flibuster is pirate, buccaneer
and an all-round bad man; but no men
y
petitions sailing away from any bar Dor in
the United States. STILL if Spain thinks
she can secure the arrest of men who have
engaged in the work of delivering pur-
chases of arms and munitions to their
customers in Cuba, why let her not wait a
minute.
In this connection it is well to suggest
that this country can afford to wait until
Consul General Lee makes his repory. If
he finds the Cubans in a position where
they are entitled to recognition as bellig-
erents, which he is almost certain to do
the President will act very promptly
Meanwhile let there be no objections filed
against Spain making demands for every
body and everything she may take fancy
to, but let US carefully mark the difference
between the right to demand extradition
and the right to extTadite. Verify Spain is
drifting into deep water very fast, but it is
to be hoped that she will not demand that
the United States send soldiers to Cuba to
put down the rebellion.

My sweetheart--she Just loves me! I see in her
