Bryan,s statement About Anarchists.

M. Bryan has stated that "those who
apply the name anarchist to the bone and
muscle of this country are doing more to
overthrow the government than any an
nrchist who ever carried red flag" But
they are not applying it to the bone and
muscle of this country. They are apply
ing it only to mouths like Altgeld's, Till
mans and Bryan s-who are preaching
the gospel of hate between the poor and
rich. Bryan himself today is doing more
harm in this country with demagogic ap-
peals to prejudice and passion than all
the anarchists this country has ever had.

A Question For the workingman.

A millionaire might worry along under
free coinage, even if the value of his in
come were reduced by one-half. But what
would the workingman who earns SO or
90 day do when it would buy only half
what it now buys!

THE CANDIDATE OF A TRUST

Bryan Is the First Candidate of a 'Trust"
the CSsntry Has Ever Known.
In his letter of acceptance Bryan de-
uounces the "great aggregations of
wealth" called trusts. The greatest and
the most dangerous of them all is the sill
yer mine owners trust, which is spending
money lavishly to put him in the White
House, so he may sign the laws it desires
TO have enacted He is the first presiden-
tial candidate of trust the country has
ever known. Chicago Tribune.

SENATORIAL ELECTION POSTPONED.
Godfrey Hunter Has to Yisid Poins In His
Vicious Fight.

FRAsKFoRr, KY, Jan. 1s.-An agree
ment has been informally reached by
which there will be no election of a
United States Senator until after the
election and qualification Of the late
Isaac Wilson's successor, which can
not be until after February /.
The Republicans realize that the
six men who constitute the Democrat
ie Steering Committee and their able
assistants have them by the throat
ready to throttle any attempt to seize
a senatorial seat by other than fair
methods, and late this afternoon they
acceded to the proposition which had
been made.
The present status of affairs was
brought about through the efforts of
the Senate Steering Committee, COM
posed of. Messrs. Goebel, Stephen
son, Salyer, Fulton, Bronston and
Weissinger, and few honest Repub-
lican leaders who are more representa-
tive of the will of the people than they
are partisans. Prominent among
them are Senators Petrie, Bennett
and Siege and representatives Landes
and Burram.

nights since dance was given at the
home of Mr.. VIM. Sizemore, about
two miles west of Crofton. Some of
the young men present, it seems, had
partaken too freely OF red liquor and
were very noisy and rowdy and as a
result Pat Long and Henry Size

which resulted in general fight.

REPUBLICAN SENATORS WANT Pos

Gov. Bradley Tells why The Negro Was
Selected For The Position-Prossure
Brought to Besr.

FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 18.-Gov.
Bradley was asked by the Times
correspondent this morning what
about the rumored refusal of the SEN
ate to confirm the appointment Of Pos
tell, the negro saloon keeper, as stew
ard of the Hopkinsville asylum.
He said: "Officially, I have heard
OF no such refusal to confirm, though
the rumors of which you speak have
reached me. l have nothing to do
with or to say about what the Senate
will do. 1 can only say that l ap-
pointed Postell upon the rscommen-
dations Of many of the best citizens
of that section, and three other white
men who were applicants for the
same place, withdrew their applica-
tons and urged Postells appoint.
ment. He was represented to me as
a good citizen and splendid bust
ness man.
"No, l did not know that he was a
saloon-keeper, though have never
heard of that being made barrier to
an appointment in any party"
Gov. Bradley wouldn't say what
his course would be if the Senate
does not confirm the appointment,
but he didn't act like he would be
rt-broken with disappointment if
the rejection came. The Democratic
majority Of the Senate Committee, to
which the nomination was referred,
has already decided to report in favor
of its rejection.
Since the foregoing interview with
Gov. Bradley was had this morning,
the Republican Senator's and others
have taken tumble" and they are
going to make the Governor with
draw Postell's appointments, If it is
possible to do so. They see that
most of the Democratic Senators may
set back and refuse to vote on the
confirmation. About five of them
will vote mo" and with the fourteen
Republicans make quorum. Then
the vote would stand sixteen Repub-
licans to FIVE Democrats, the appoint
ment will be confirmed; the negro
saloon man will be put upon an equal
plane with hundreds of white unfort-
unates who can't-help themselves,
and Republican Governor and SIX
teen Republican Senators will be
wholly and solely responsible for
the contamination Of the appointments.
The only way to prevent this sort OF
boomerang on himself and the Re-
publican Senators is for Postell's APP
pointment to be withdrawn, and look
out for this to be done.

DOWN IN DIXIE.
The National Editorial Association at St.
Augustine To-day.
editorial Correspondence

MONTGOMERY, ALA, Jan. lS.-At y
o'clock this morning the National
Editorial Association, or that part of
it from the western states, has just
put in an hour eating breakfast and
started out over the Plant system for
Florida.
The editor Of the Kentuckian,
travelling in two volumes, boarded
the special train at Hopkinsville at 6
O'Clock Friday night. 1t was made
up OF eight cars and about 21O per
sons were ION board. This number
has by this morning been increased
to about $50. The Kentucky delega-
ton is in the Missouri car and very
pleasantly situated with jolly par.
ty. Kentrckyis represented by G.
R. Rosser, of Maysville, H. A. Som
mers, of Elizabethtown, and Chas. M.
Meacham and wife, of Hopkinsville.
L. A. Gaines, of Elkton, will join the
party next Tuesday. The other dele
gate, W. p. Walton, of Stanford, has
not been heard from and was proba-
bly, unable to come. We are hoping,
however, Shat he may yet show up
before the meeting is over.
I As stated above, the start from
Hopkinsville was made on Friday.
This fact in itself was not reassur-
ing circumstance and when we found
that we had been assigned to section
No. ID there was open rebellion on
the part OF the superstitious member
Of the Kentuckian's representation.
Secretary j. NJ. Page, who took us in
charge as soon as we boarded the
train, was appealed to and changed
us to No. IA. Col. Rosser, the gal
liant old bachelor from Maysville, gen.
erously agreed to exchange sections
and take whatever risk was attached
to the unlucky number. By-the-way
the jolly old colonel is the life Of our
party. He already knows everybody
in our car and is having more fun
than anybody.
The first stop was made at Nash
vile. Here the crowd took supper.
No incident worthy of note occurred
except that one lady got left. We
did not learn her name. She was
not in our car. An all night run,
brought Tds to Montgomery -at--e.
O'Clock. After breakfasting near the
depot we had half an hour to spare,
which we utilized in taking stroll
up town. Montgomery is a consid-
cradle city, with broad, well paved
streets and handsome business
houses with broad wooden awnings
extending the full length of the
squares, high above the pavements.
A rain came up just as we left and
we did not see the city under the
most favorable circumstances. At
this writing we are speeding through
Southern Alabama, desolate look
ing country, with nothing but occa-
sional forests Of scrubby pines and
little villages along the railroad to
vary the monotony that wearies the
eye. Our next meal will be at Thorn
asville, Ga, after we cross the Chat
tahoochee river.

PMoKAsD, ALA, Jan. ]8.-It is now
2 O'Clock p. m. and we are 104 miles
from the dinner station. We have
been nearly Ave hours making lot
miles over a rough road. At this
place we stopped for some unknown
reason for half an hour and there
was grand rush upon the only store
for something to eat. The small
stock of cakes, apples and oranges
quickly disappeared. A bar close by
soon sold out the stock of beer on
hand and then the bar-keeper locked
up his saloon and rushed, Ratchet in
hand and bareheaded, for the depot.
There he found fresh barrel I'M
opened and several editors assisted
him in knocking out the head. In
five minutes the bottles were all sold
and enough money left in the town
to start boom in all lines of trade.
By applying a little mathematics
to the speed of the train and the dis
lance to Townsville it figures out
that the next meal will be a sort of
cross between dinner and supper at
about o'clock. However, the Ken
tuckian crowd happened to be pro
vided with a lunch that answered all
of the purposes of dinner. We will
cross the Chattahoochee river and
get into Georgia in a few minutes
and the next place we will make a
stop at will be Townsville, Ga.
Tampa is 344 miles below that place,
which we expected to reach for break
fast tomorrow morning. AS it is we
will get there to dinner. Remaining
there till Monday night we run up to
st. Augustine $50 miles. by Tuesday
morning. l..-Axsf12szex. "a. AA2.;,.. =,
