Hon. C. j. BrOnstOn on the Stump.

Hon. G. j. Bronston, of Lexington,
made one of his characteristic speech :
es at the Court House in this city yes
terday. 1t was system of close rea-
soning. Beginning with the war he
went over the entire ground and
showed that the party of the Chicago
convention is now and always has
been the party of the people and urg-
ed the people to vote for the Demo-
cratic ticket. Bimetallism is grow
ing and will certainly sweep the coun-
try. To the Bryan and Sewall or
ganization there was about 1000
signers.

Is the Third Party movement in
tended for the perpetuation of the
Democratic party and it's princi-
Piles 4? Read the following from
the New York Sun:
Secretary Rooney, of the Hon
est Money League returned from
the Indianapolis conference yester-
day. He said of the conference:
eff you ask me what was the
dominant sentiment Of that body, /
would say it was anything to beat
the un-Democratic candidate and
principles foisted upon the country
in the name Of the party at Chica-
60. l explained to the Executive
Committee appointed by Gen. Pal
mer, of which Mr.. Bynum is the
Chairman, that sentiment was di-
vided in New York on the exped-
iency Of nominating third ticket,
but that there was no. division of
sentiment among old-line Demo-
Gratis on the necessity of beating
the destructive principles and can
didates of the Chicago Convention.
The Executive Committee, through
several Gifts members, replied that
the sole object of the third ticket
was to insure the defeat of Bryan;
that in many States this purpose
could be accomplished only through
a third ticket"

The Democratic Congressional Con-
vention for the Ninth district assem-
bled in Maysville on Wednesday morn
ing, Aug II. The temporary organ
ization resulted in the election of the
following:
Frank Power, OF Garter, Chairman
S. S. Cassidy, of Bath, Secretary, and
Green r. Kelar, of Nicholas, Reading
Clerk. The temporary organization
was made permanent, Chiccgo plat
form and ticket were Endorsed, and
the Democratic press not supporting
the Chicago platform and ticket we're
denounced as boilers.
Seven candidates were put in nomi-
nation. w. Larue Thomas was nom
mated on the eighty-ffth ballot. Gen
tlemen of this city speak in high terms
of Mr.. Thomas. He was, last year at
the national convention at Boston,
elected Grand Master Of the Knights
Templar os the United States. ii. r.
French says that Mr.. Thomas is an
estimable christian gentleman, sober,
discreet and prudent, systematic and
methodical in business, and if elected
he will carefully attend to the interests
o! this district. These admirable traits
should characterize all our public SER
wants.

And the Herald didn't tell the

In this issue will be found the an
nouncement OF Hon. g. w. Nesbitt, of
Bath county, as candidate for Judge
of this Circuit Court District. Mr..
Nesbitt is now Commonwealth At
torney for this district. The people
know with what honesty of purpose
and fidelity to their interest he has
discharged the duties of that office.
He needs no introduction from us to
the people of any county in the dis
'rict, since his official duties have
brought him so prominently before
them. Both Mr.. Nesbitt and his
charming wife have wide relation
ship in this county as well as in Bath,
and that of itself makes him for
candidate.

A Greeting TO All.

With this issue | make my adj
vent into the journalistic world,
having bought the interest of DR..
G. w. Harris in the Mt. Sterling
ADVOCATE.
For some years have associat-
ed in business affairs with the peo-
pie of this and adjoining counties.
With many of them have been in
times of sorrow as in sickness and
death, they have walked the dark
ened and lonely pathway of life.
Their sorrow has been mine. Like
wise 1 have shared their Joys on
those occasions when loves dream
and hope are realized at the mar
riage altar. The ministry of the
Word of Life has Strengthened the
ties of friendship. While expect
ing continuance in such privileges
and duties, | am now to assume
other responsibilities, the faithful
performances of which will, / trust,
result in promoting just concep-
ton of the duties Of man 20 man,
and man to God, and tend to de-
velop our social instincts in ways
pleasing and elevating. l shall
contend for what is true and just,
pure and good. l shall accord to
to others what l claim for myself
liberty of thought and expression,
honesty and sincerity of purpose
and conviction.
AS occasion demands, shall adj
vocate what believe to be for the
highest interest of our community.
| shall do no violence to truth, nor
discredit intelligence and courtesy
by resorting to Misrepresentation,
ridicule and .invective in opposing
men who differ from me on ques-
tions of a political character.
AS heretofore, the ADVOCATE will
be Democratic. Believing that our
State Convention appointed Demo-
cratic delegates to the Chicago
convention, and that said national
convention was organized and con-
Quoted according to Democratic
usages, / most cordially abide by
the decision of that convention in
the selection of VIM. j. Bryan and
Sewall for President and
Vice-President, and pledge them my
earnest support.
From week to week the ADvo-
CATE will contain an expression
upon the various planks of the
platform adopted at Chicago.
In the management OF this paper
| shall endeavor to so consecrate
myself to its interests that its
present efficiency and high stand
ing shall not be lowered. Other
men have labored and l now reap
the fruits.
My desire and purpose is that
the Mt. Sterling ADVOCATE may
bring to it's readers the news, and
De to them source Of strength to
10 right, joy in times of sorrow,
Soliciting the patronage of all. '
md expressing a wish for the pros
'erity of its readers, l am

who so long sat at the table of Democ-
racy and regaled themselves on the
luscious visnds furnish by the party,
of course were not satisfied with the
rejnVenstlon insugurated at the Chi

pleased to see a younger generation
step forward and take the lead In the
management of the party and in pub.
lie affairs. It is not in human nature,
particularly in its deCrepitude, to be
pleased with being ignored and super
seded by those whom 1t has been In
the habit Of ruling and having it's be.
hests obeyed. And when to this was
added the application Of Democratic
principles to the advanced spirit of
the age and the changed condition of
affairs, they revolt outright, set up
new dynasty and proceeded to do bust
ness ION a small sCsle) for themselves.
But, on reflection, they seem not ex-
sctly satisfied with their position, and
it is apparent that their eyes are grad.

country and the necessity for new
line of action on the part of our gov

and novel diseases that the age has
given birth to. For 1t is becoming sp-

can't continue to exist, much less to
prosper, under the reign and rule of
the blOod.sucking leeehes that now
affiict the body polite. For example:
The accumulated wealth of the coun-
try bears almost none of the burdens
of government, while labor and produc-
tion furnish nearly the whole of the
annual thousand millions of dollars
required to run the National, State
