quarters. Most farmers water in the
yards. but the number of those having
water in barns is Increasing. Mostly
water twice a day, but some who have
tried both. report as good results from
once watering. In every instance
where water has been warmed good re-
suits are reported. The exercise ques-

of moderate exercise.

The situation Reviewed.
louisville Critic.l

On next Saturday, mass convention
will be held in every county in Ken
lucky to elect delegates to the Demo
cratic State Convention. Two weeks
ago, the Critic believed that each OF
the factions would carry five districts,
with the remaining district leaning
toward the gold standard. To-day,
there does not seem to be doubt that
free silver will sweep the State, and
will carry at least seven out of the
eleven districts. Dispatches from the
various counties show that the free
silver men are well organized, and
that the gold men are ratified and
beaten. If further proof of the dismay
that has struck the followers of Car
Isle we're wanted, it can be found in
the hysterical appeals of the Courier
Journal to its gold friends to stand
firm, and the anarchistic assaults OF
the Post upon the silver men. Both of
these papers realize that settling day
has come for the boilers in Kentucky,
but no amount of fine editorial writ
ing can change the result.
The Post has been thrown into such
a frenzy over the certain loss of the
State that, on Friday, it attacked Car
Isle and Lindsay and McCreary, its
political idols, for not coming to Ken
lucky to stem the free silver food.
The Post, like great many other
short-sighted politicians, believes that
the endorsement of the Chicago plat
form by the last State Convention was
gold standard victory, when in
reality it was concession made by
the friends of Wat Hardin, who were
more anxious to secure his nomination
than they were to get into quarrel
over the platform. The majority in
that convention were for free silver,
but they we're not in a position to
stand up for their principles. In the
Lexington gathering, the case will be
entirely different. No mans personal
ambition will stand in the way of a
frank utterance upon the subject, The
cowardly action of handful of gold
men, who bolted the caucus nomina-
ton for Senator, has had its effect up.
on the people of the State, who have
not graduated from that school ofpol-
itics where man can promise one
thing before an election and do an
other thing after he is in Office. The
silver men are determined to stretch
these towards and deserters on the
rack, and they are going to pay John
6 Carlisle back in his own coin for
his betrayal of his party. All along
the gold men have charged that the
silver men would bolt the State Con-
vention unless they controlled it.
With the free silver men in the major
ity it would be interesting to observe
the course of the gold bugs

The Louisville Post published this
surprising information, from which it
seems the silver forces will capture
nearly one-third of the Louisville
vote:
"The free-silver people are losing
no time, and are actively at work in
this city. They are very sly, and it
looks as if they had already captur-
ed the twenty-eight votes of the elev-
enth and twelfth wards, where the
sound money men have allowed some
leaders to arrange matters faVorably
to the white metal men.
1t is hoped the meeting this after
noon will develope a spirit that will
save the whole Fifth district to sound
money, but unless very hard work is
done large part of the city's vote
will go to the silver faction"
And this:
"The free silver men Of Louisville
announce their intention of capturing
the Fourth and Fifth wards.
1t is said that the free silver forces
are preparing to organize in all parts
of the city.
