more of anthracite coal on hand than
she had a year ago. Receipts from
January 1 to October 1 show an ncrea g
over the corresponding period last year
of 22s. 600 tons. but the supply on hand
January 1 was 10000 tons less than
the previous year This leaves net
surplus of 5000 tons To this must
be added the differences between ship
ments west from Chicago this year.
1t is a well known fact that the west
has not bought coal with anything like
the freedom this season that it did last,
and this naturally leaves a large sur
plus for the coal dealers to take care
Of The eastern producers have been
counting on increased sales with the
advent of cold weather but in the
event OF a mild winter their plans
would be seriously disarranged, and a
weak market is not entirely outside of
the range Of possibilities. Sales at
wholesale are already being made at
figures which indicate a local retail

Cheered.

hold of the Kentucky gold standard
Democracy fairly outdid itself last
night No larger crowd has turned out
here during this campaign and no more
brilliant gathering has greeted any
speaker in Louisville
Mr.. Carlisle began by stating that it
was not the Democratic party that
those who believe as he does are fight
ing, but the most unnatural and indie
feasible political combination that ever
existed in this country 1t began, he
said, by betrayal of Democracy at Chi
cago, eliminated in the surrender to
Populism at St. Louis, and has for its
object the election of a candidate who
represents both Of the parties 10 the
compact and believes in the doctrines
OF both. There is not shadow of con
ffct between them, the secretary said.
They were parts Of the scheme for con
certed legislative action and must be
considered together as undemocratics
unrepublican and unamerican.
After discussing the free coinage he
concluded with an appeal to his Ken
lucky friends to work earnestly for the
defeat of the Chicago ticket.
CIeveland's name was great ly cheered.
