LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 5th.-The visit
of VIM. Jennings Bryan to Kentucky
will be made the event OF the campaign.
The visit OF the next President will pro-
yoke an enthusiasm, such as the old
commonwealth has never before exper-
fenced, and it is the intention Of the gen.
tlemeu having the arrangement in charge
to have the crowds exceed those that
heard the distinguished candidate in the
State OF Ohio. 1t has been de fnitely de-
cided that Mr.. Bryan will speak in Lou
isville on the evening of Sept. 18th. He
will reach Henderson early in the after
noon and will there make a speech Ct
half an hour. He will be met in Hen
derson by delegation OF ctz ms from
Louisville and will come to this city on
a special train, over the Louisville, Hen
derson aud st. Louis road. 1t has been
arranged for Mr.. Bryan to make a ten
minutes speech at Greensboro and five
minutes speech at Hawesville, Clover
port and Irvington. lie will reach this
city at o'clock and be taken OF once,
very probably, to the Auditorium, where
the thousands will be in waiting. Mr..
Bryan will make two speeches in Louis
vile the same evening. The indications
are that the crowd will be so great that
it has been thought advisable to separate
it and in that event arrangements will
be made for a speech in front Of the
Courthouse. Messrs. IL. A. Sommers
and Urey Woodson, Chairman Of the
State Campaign Committee and Nation.
al Committeeman, respectfully, went to
Chicago the latter part OF the week
where they had conference with Mr..
Bryan, regarding his visit to Kentucky.
There will be a tremendous crowd in
Louisville on Sept. nth to hear the Dem
ocratic Standard Bearer, speak. Mr..
Bryan will remain in Louisville over
night and go to Lexington over the L. &
N. the next morning. Short speeches
will be made at Anchorage, Pewee Val
ley. Lagrange and Eminence and at
Frankfort he will make thirty minutes
speech at the State House Square. Mr..
Bryan will 60 from Midway by special
train to Versailles, where he will speak
for few minutes and be entertained by
Senator Blackburn at lunch. From there
he goes TO Lexington and from LexinR-
ton to Maysvile at five o'clock. Mr..
Bryan will then go to Hartman Tenn.
The statement has been published by
the boltocratic press that comparatively
few OF the leading men of Kentucky iav-
ored silver, yet it is a significant fact
that OF the seven members OF the Court
of Appeals, six OF them are bi-Inetnllists,
and have no hesitancy in expressing
their allegiance to the free coinage of
silver. The only single gold sta ndard
advocate is Judge Landes of Christian
county, Republican who was appoint
I'd to fill out the unexpired term occa-
stoned by the death of Judge Grace.
Judge Lande5 was appointed by Gov.
Bradley. An ong the staunchest advo-
Gates Of the bi-mettallism is Judge B. l..
d. GufTy. Several days ago Judge GufTy
and Judge Hazelrigg, the latter a demo-
crat, were sitting in front of the Capitol
Hotel, Frankfort, the center OF an inter.
esting group OF listeners, whom thy
were entertaining by sending hot shot
into the single gold standard camp. The
argument OF Judge Gufy was somewhat
unique but none the less torcible and
characteristic OF the Judge
from the Third District. Judge Gufy
said that during his many years OF life
he had never seen the wealthy display
such fondness for the people at large
and to use his own language "They are
falling over each other in their mad rush
TO render assistance to the poor man.
Their position toward the advocates OF
silver reminds me OF man who would
tell man to stop eating il ne was starv-
ing to death, and If that same man was
freezing to death there would be about
as much logic in advising him to put out
the fire, altogether as there is in the rea-
soning Of some of the gold standard fell
lows who want but the one coin. For
the life OF me can't see that they have
any arguments at all in their favor"
There is another Republican member Of
the Court OF Appeals who is favorable to
silver and that is Judge Geo. DuRele, of
the city Of Louisville. While Judge Du-
Relic may not have been very open and
pronounced in favor OF bi-mettallism
since he went to Frankfort, he is known
here in Louisville among his friends as
a strong supporter OF silver.

vention taken out a search warrant, it

uckians as Gen. Palmer, who is at the
head OF the third ticket. The selection |
