M'KINLEY AND LEWIS
Is the Political Battle Cry at
Springfield.

Springfield, KY, Sept, al This Is
the home of Hon John w. Lewis.
No man in Kentucky has more warm
and devoted admirers at his home
than John w. Lewis. 1t Is remarkaS
Bile how many men OF all political
parties respect and compliment Mr..
Lewis as citizen and politician.
Many Democrats will support him,
and it looks like his majority will
reach much higher than It did last
year, when he beat ex-Congfessmau
Montgomery by AT votes in the
country. One OF the oldest and most
highly respected Democrats here said
today that John w. Lewis was a man
whom Washington county was proud
to claim: that he was gentleman Of
the brightest and purest character; a
neighbor OF the most pleasant and
agreeable associations, and man and
public servant in whom every citizen
could point to his past record with
pride and admiration.
Many Of the city's merchants will
give their support to Congressman
Lewis, influential and prominent bus
mess men in the country. Large
gains are reported from all over the
county. The far mers who have Of
late begun to study the financial
question are rapidly coming out for
Mckinley and Lewis. The laboring
men, who work for their living by
day, are nearly unit for the above
ticket. If the rest Of the district will
do one.halt as we'll as this county
does, John W. Lewis and Mckinley
will carry the district by 1880 major
ity.

1t is the duty of every Republican
in Ohio county to come to Hartford
tomorrow to hear the Hon. Jno w.
Lewis speak. Mr.. Lewis has made
this District a faithful Representative
and our people should show their APP
probation ofh'm by coming out to-
morrow and hearing bis speech.

SHOULD the late Wesley Grove
chance to see copy of the Hartford
Herald now and compare 1t with the
same paper at the time he was the
Populist Representative from Ohio
county, what do you suppose he would
say? Can it be that the spirit Of the
late departed is now haunting said
paper, or has it been hypnotized?
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1896-09-25

AND now the Breckenridge Me1rs is
kicking because Hon. Jno. w. Lewis
would not divide time at Cloverport
with Mr.. hurry, the supposed Demo-
cratic nominee for Congress, and the
Bullitt Pioneer is kicking because Mr..
Lewis would not divide time with Mr.,
Smith, the Democratic nominee for
Congress. 1t does seem that if the
Popocrats, &C., know so much about
running politics they could harmonic
their papers over the district 50 the
people would really know who is
their nominee.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1896-09-25

No one in the Chicago Convention
mentioned the fact that the nomina>
tion of Bryan would lead to a divis-
ion OF electoral tickets with the Pop
ulists. The fusion is complete in
nearly all the States, and Democrats
who would have secuted the idea in
July are now touching elbows with
Populist fellow.soldiers in common
cause.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1896-09-25

In the agreement The Populisis are to
have two electors and the PcpHerats
eleven, but the Popocrats will not
support Watson, hence they are
working to get the Populist vote for
SewalI.

We very often hear the remark
from our old soldier friends that they
want the very best money when they
receive their pensions, which Is just
and right and every American SOL
der should vote to maintain a curren-
cy that will pay all pensions in dol
lars worth 100 cents when they have
to purchase the necessaries of life.
Down with the free silver fanaticism.

WHENEVER you hear of Repub-
lican refusing to support Mckinley
the Popocrat papers laud him to the
skies as the prince of gentlemen and
the foremost man of his party, but
when Democrat refuses to support
Bryan they denounce him as trait
or, a thief and a bolter of the worst
type. This is about as far as they
know. They are deluded set any

The long talked Of fusion between
the Popocrats aud the Populists cul-
minated Tuesday and was brought to
an end by an agreement between
Chairman johnson, of the POpocra,s,
and Chairman Parker, OF the Popu-
lists by which Mr.. Parker agrees to
sell the entire Popullsts vote to the
POpocrats for two representatives on
the ticket. This will virtually do
away with the Populist party in the
State, and a great many Of the Popu'
lists who are sincere in their belief are
very angry at the transfer Mr.. Park
err has made, and will support Me-
Kinley add Hob art before they will
support Bryan and Sewall, which

space is economical and large number
OF persons accommodated. On the fourth
side of the casino the main divan ex-
tends only short distance from the cor
ners, leaving free the middle portion
where the entrance it situated. In the
center of the floor is a large, square pit
covered with logs. In this pit large fire
Is built.
A Peculiar Entrance.
The casino has no door in our sense of
the word The following ingenious
method is used instead: Close by there
is little structure which serves as a
vestibue. This has a large hole in the
door, and from the bottom of this hole
or shaft extends a tunnel, which termi-
mates in the fire pit of the casino. A per-
son desiring to enter a casino goes into
the vestibule, jumps down into the hole,
and then crawls along the tunnel until
he reaches a corresponding hole in the
floor of the casino. Woe to the luckless
stranger who fails to emerge as soon as
this hole is reached. for should he pro-
coed any further he would discover that
the short section of the tunnel which re-
mains between the exit and the fire pit is
the sink.
Crawling along in the dark. slippery
tunnel Is not graceful proceeding, and
this bobbng up from the holes is decid-
edly an abrupt manner of making ones
appearance in society. The departure
is fully as ludicrous. The soft boots
and fur clothing make no rustling, and
you behold the inmates disappear in
stantly and silently through the floor, af-
ter the fashion of imps in pantomime.
The interior of the casino is always
gloomy; the sides and roof are blackened
with smoke and covered thickly with
SCOT
The Native House.
The women and children seldom visit
the casino for the reason that the first
thing man does on entering is to re-
move his clothing, hang it up near the
fire, where 1t gets a kind of vapor bath,
and while it is drying he reclines on one
of the dvans. The odor in this place
would kill the average citizen of the
United States quicker than the electrical
death chair
The barraboras, or private houses, are
constructed on the same general plan as
the casino. They are somewhat smaller
and have only one very broad divan
around; as they are never used for the
vapor bath, they are without the fire hole.
Several families generally occupy the
same barrabora. Sections of the divan
are allotted to each, and these are fire.

Mining for gold in Alaska is not the
easiest thing in the world The country

the difficulties of TRANSPORTATION. The
miners during the winter light large fires

and thaw out The ground to a certain ex-
tent In this way. They then remove the
earth until they get down to the frozen
earth again, and then they build another
fire, and so on. When. the spring fresh.

out the loose, auriferous earth they have
obtained in this arduous way.
