loved by all. His running mate is a
pure, noble, grand Kentuckian who has
filled every trust with honor and who
deserves the present graceful compli-
ment.
The ceremonies Saturday night at the
Auditorium said more fully than any act
for thirty years that the north and south
are united. We are all proud of the part
old Kentucky has taken in the drama,
but feeling of sadness creeps over us
when we refl3c that the flag unfurled
floats only over one wing of our party.
We IRE told the advocates of Democracy
will all weld together again as they are
custodians OF the same vast interests. ]

A good many of us went to Irvington
to see the man who has so suddenly
burst into notoriety, and who certainly
commands much admiration, if we do
not agree with him on his theories. Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. Rhodes, Misses Lille and
Virgil, Mrs Il, II. hewitt, Misses Lena
hewitt, Mabel Hardin and Annie Bon
durant, Henry hewitt, Jim Bondurant
and your correspondent made party to
see and hear the 16 to nominee. The
crowd numbered about fifteen hundred
or two thousand and was most orderly.
Mr.. Bryan was in the last car on the
platform and beside him, beaming "a

of speech when necessary made brief,
quick and concise remarks in explana.

ed and worm out and was very hoarse.
The handshaking was not carried to an
extreme, but Henry hewitt had the SUI
preme satisfaction OF grasping his extend
ed member as well as Jim Bondurant,
a red hot Republican. To tell you the
truth, Mr.. Eiitor, l enjoyed the ride and
seeing so many old friends as much as
did in beholding the benign countcnance
Of the silver ch ampion of renown. Miss
Lucy Frank was so "chatty" and had
just received interesting items from your
little city. "Chimes of wedding bellies"

Mr. Arnold's article in last issue was
written with pen dipped IN gall. Such
articles usually answer themselves with
all clear minded, right thinking people.
One thing, though, wish to say, the
editor of THIS or any other paper is not
responsible for the utterances of his cor
respondents, especially when their names
are signed. These columns are open for
ventilating opinions. Mr.. Arnold asked

have been asked to reply to the gentle
mans attack on some of our prominent
citizens, but each one is fully competent
to cope personally, socially, politically
with any bolt or shaft aimed at "his de-
voted head" Mental labor is as severe
as physical toll. The farmer is the peer
of the banker with all unbiased unpreju-
diced minds. Each is equipped and
manned for the channel in which he is
to run. The merchant, the school
teacher, all stand side by side in this
work day world. In our free Republic
no one man stands alone. His own ca
pacity, his own ability, his judgment, Of.
ten his environments place him where
he can best serve himself and his fellow
man. The prosperity Of one insures the
welfare of the other, No citizen has the
right to attack the individual opinions of
fellow citizen. Neither to interfere

is so absurd to me as for one man to &C
