HOW KENTUCKY WAS CARRIED.
Secretary Gus W. Richardson Of the
democratic State Committee Offers
Pertinent suggestions

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. l4.-Sec'y
Richardson, of the Democratic State
Campaign Committee, to-day gave to
the Associated Press the following
statements:
The Republicans of Kentucky claim
the state for the Republican electors
by about 500 votes on the face of the
returns. This result has been accom-
plished by the preparation of one of
the most gigantic frauds in the history
of politics. If proper contest can be
made by the committee. the State can
be secured to Bryan and Democracy.
To make this contest, it is necessary
for this committee to raise fund to
be expended In the employment of
counsel, the taking of proof and the
general expenses of the contest. This
commission was without funds, in
fact, the campaign in this State was
practically without money, and the
the only means at his command for
raising such fund is by popular
subscription. In view of these facts
this committee now appeals to all
Democrats interested in saving the
state to Bryan and Democracy to send
at once to the undersigned such
amounts as they feel able to subscribe.
Gus w. RICHARDSON,
Secretary Democratic State Campaign
| Committee.

RICHMOND, Va, November H.
The ruling of Judge jackson, Of the

by her husband, who was member
of the dry goods firmof Harrison 4
Hill, at Parkersburg. and who was
found dead in bed at that place three
years ago with pistol wound in his
head and the weapon by his side.
The order refused payment of the
policy at the time and suit was in
stituted and Judge jackson render

ELECTRICITY IN WAR.

Ueflect shot!

Boston Globe: Who will say that
electricity may not yet be brought into
use to turn aside even the heaviest
projectiles that may be sent hurting
from the largest and most accurately
aimed modern guns.
At an experiment with army rifles
near Berne, Switzerland, it was found
that all the bullets went wide of the
targets Investigation showed that,
parallel to the range, and at short
distance from it, there was an electric
line, which had caused the bullets to
defect from their course. In order to
test the matter the military authori-
ties laid four steel cables at dis
lance of about 40 wards from the
range, which was little less than 300
yards in length. The cables were then
charged with strong current and the
firing was resumed. 1t was then as
certained that the DETECTION for the
distance, 1870 feet, was about 70 feet;
when longer range was used the de-
Election was proportionately increased.
In some experiments with artillery at
range of 5000 yards it was found
that the detection amounted to nc
less than IA degrees.
An army in the field may yet be
protected against bombardment
through this inevitable force far more
completely than by the strongest forti-
fications that man can construct.

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part of the Canon in less
than IL hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $4,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are provid-
ed throughout the trip at a reasona-
BILE price. The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also a trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 5000
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is grander

for In the bottom of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds of noun

Value Of Stump Speaking.

Some Of the Republican papers,
going over the election returns,
Teach the conclusion that Mr.. Bry-
ans remarkable and brilliant cam
vass was failure as a vote-gctter.
That is point impossible to deter
mine. If the Btyan canvass had not
been the leading, and in fact the
only, aggressive and well-sustained
feature of the Democratic campaign,
how would the Democratic vote have
stood in default of it2 The action
of the Chicago convention, both as
to nomination and platform, was
Eattended by the most remarkable ex-
ample of party diserganization that
has been seen in this country since
The commencement of cur party CON
ficts d hundred years ago. In oil
of the great states Of the north and
some OF the southern the orgdniza-
tion was in a measure disrupted,
many of the most noted leaders
sulked or went over to the enemy,
while the alleged Democratic press
in nearly all the great cities, with
few exceptions, Joined hands with
the goldites. A few weeks before
the Chicago convention met, when
gold nomination and a silver bolt
were predicted as certainties, the
chances of the DEMOCRATS carrying
single state of the Union were SER
iously debated. This was the con
dition when Mr., Bryan took it upon
himself to reorganize the party,
throw new life into it, confirm the
faithful and win the hesitating.
The outcome is that he has polled
greater number of votes than any
candidate for president has ever re-
ceived before the late election, even
with the great popular majority
against him.
What would have been the party
outlook had he not taken the fleld9
We judge his popular vote will
reach 100000, probably half a mil
lion more than Mr.. Cleveland re-
ceived, in 1892; he has carried 20 of
the 45 states and made a gain of so
members of the house of representa-
tives compared with the election of
1894. Considering the discourage
ment at the outset, which the inspi
ration of his eloquence and the force
of his argument replaced with hope
and confidence, and the tremendous
odds opposed to him, we do not be-
lieve Mr.. Bryan's canvass was a
failure. The question is what would
have been the conditions without
his work as the only really impor
tant Democratic factor in the con-
test? Is it not within the probabili-
| ties the Democratic party would
have been swallowed up by the gold
ties ON the one side and the Popu-
lists on the other? Instead of that
calamity, even with the great defeat
that came upon us, the Democracy
to-day stands for the strongest min
GRITTY party in our history. And we
believe for this hopeful condition
for there are to be elections in the
future-the Democracy is indebted
to William j. Bryan's phenomenal
canvass more than to any other sin
gle cause or all other causes com
bined.

The Venezuelan Victory.

The United States has gained
substantial victory for the Monroe
Doctrine in the Venezuelan affair.
The point at issue has been not
whether Great Britain can substan-
tiate her claims to the possession of
certain territory in the South Amer
lean Republic, but whether she would
recognize the right of the United
States to interfere in the matter,
and in so doing concede to our de-
mand for submission of the entire
subject to arbitration. Venezuela
herself has recognized the applica-
bility of the Monroe Doctrine to her
trouble and has accepted the prop
osition of this country.
1t appears from the cable dis
patches of yesterday and to-day that
the entire subject of the Venezuela
Guiana boundary line has been
thrown open to arbitration. 1t is
incumbent upon Great Britain to
show that certain of her subjects
have occupied some of the disputed
territory without opposition for so
long a time as to confer upon them
pre- emptory rights. The period ac-
copied as necessary for this purpose
is fifty years. The treaty between
England and the United States will
call for the appointment of an arbi-
| tration commission of five members,
two to be appointed by each of the
parties to the treaty and the fifth to
be selected by these four. Lord
Salisbury spoke somewhat generous
ly when he said that he regarded the
whole incident as ended: but the i'm
mediate cause for strained relations
between the two English speaking
countries has certainly been re-
moved, and there is every reason
to look for peaceful, honorable and
final settlement of a question whose
arbitration Venezuela had vainly
asked for forty years.
The recognition of the Monroe
Doctrine was certainly not made with
grace, though Great Britain has Of
late been profuse in her expressions
of kindly feeling for America and
American ideas. But it is well fol
us to remember that the present con
dition of affairs was brought about
by determined exhibition on the
part of the President of his appreci
alton of the popular will. Grea'
Britain was made to feel that Presi
dent Cleveland was not uttering ,
purely personal sentiment nor launch
ing. piece Of political buncomb'
when he sent his message to Con
gress on this Venezuelan question
1t was the prompt and courageous
response of the representatives of TIN
American people, backed by an un
mistakable proclamation Of publi
feeling throughout the country, tina
checked the aggressive spirit o
Great Britain.
tits an extremely good thing to le
the American eagle scream occasion
ally. The bird is fond Of vigorou
foreign policy, and perhaps timi'
Americans, after a careful study Q
the results achieved in the Venezue
Ian matter, will not raise the sill
cry of ''.Jingoism'' the next time thi
country sees fit to assert it's dignity

Uncle Sam has Jared better in the
Venezuela dispute than the peacemak-
er usually does. The matter is to
be referred to arbitration. This marks
another distinct advance over the old
heathenish idea of fighting over such
disputes and establishes more firmly
the position of the United States on
the Monroe doctrine.
