Getting Together.

In Kentucky the Democrats who
care for office are under every in
centivc Ia eliminate distracting
political ISSUES and To- get together
before the election next November
Local offices innumerable are to be
filled, and unless the Democrats
can get together most of these de
sirable offices will be filled by Re
publicans.
But as long as the silver men in
sist upcn free silver the Democrats
of Kentucky cannot get together.
1t has been demonstrated that this
issue disturbs the party and throws
the elections To the Republicans.
As il has been in the past, so will
il he in the future. BY insisting
upon free silver its advocates gain
nothing, but they sacrifice much.
1t Is not possible for them To get
free silver. but the mere agitation
of the subject destroys the har-
mony of the party, and makes il
impossible for the many seekers
after office Ia get what they seek.
The Evening Post is frank
enough Ia say that il believes that
there can be no permanent alliance
between sound money Democrats
and the Republicans; they are
united upon one issue and divided
upon issues innumerable.
On the other hand, there is just
as much prospect of unity with the
followers of Mr.. Mckinley as with
the men who insist upon standing
upon that heretical Chicago plat
form. That platform is not simply
Il free silver platform; it is Pop
ulistic and paternal platform. The
Democrats who adhere TO the In
dianapolis platform will not consent
to aid the Republicans in tariff
legislation. Nor will they agree
to support any policy that looks
to the enlargement of Federal pow
er over our system of railroads,
telegraph and savings banks.
1t will be well for the party and
well for the country if the Demo
Gratis can get together upon tie
traditional principles of the party /;
they are found written in the In
dianapolis platform. The only is
sue dividing real Democrats is that
of silver; that has been defeated
overwhelmingly.
The vote in November show ed
that there is a tier of States
stretching from Illinois to NJ
England, which are immovable
their opposition to silver. No pr
dissension can disrupt them as
long as this issue is prominent.
These are the facts which we sub
nit to the consideration of the sill
yer men who are not willing to be
classed with Populists and social

ACCORDING to the Kentucky law,
the late turnpike election was in
effect a direction to the Fiscal
Court to provide for the acquire
ment by purchase or otherwise of
the turnpikes in the county. But
in case bonds are to be issued to
buy the roads the question of a
bond issue must be submitted to
another election and must be car
ried by tw0-thirds majority of
the people voting.
Following is the law quoted on
the subject:
IF it shall appear that a major
ity of all the votes east for and
against said proposition are in ia
vor of said proposition then the
Fiscal Court may acquire by gift,
lease, purchase or contract any or
all the turnpike roads or parts of
such as lie within the county on
the best terms consistent with pub
lie interests, in the discretion of
said. court, and may provide for
the construction of new turnpikes
or gravel roads when the public
good demands it. Said Fiscal
Court may levy "a tax from year to
year on all the estate of every

Now, suppose these changes had
been made from Mckinley to Brv-
an in the different States as follows:
California 2,5IO; Delaware I,255;
Indiana LOO; Ky. PSI; n. Da-
kota 2,510; Oregon 1906; West
Va. 6l0; Wyoming l0l; S. Dakota
Isl; total 25,393. These changes
would have given every one of
those nine States to Bryan, and
adding their 60 electoral votes to
the l67 he got elsewhere would
have made his strength in the Flee
toral College 227, three more than
he needed to make him President.
The more the reader studies the
figures the more clearly it will be
seen that the Democrats lost be-
cause they violated the St. LOUIS
compact. Contracts whether ex-
pressed or implied are as binding
in politics as in business, and no
party can violate them with impu-
nifty. In trying to force our men
to make a complete surrender and
to take both Bryan and Sewall the
Democrats simply put one straw
too much on the patient camers
back. Had the Democrats fur
nished ever so small share of the
patriotism and ever SO small por-
ton of the rising above party Bry-
an would have been elected. 1t is
all over now, and | am of the opin-
ion that the Populists as well as
the Democrats have learned some
thing by sad experience. The Pop
ulists have learned that they will
never 60 into another partnership
where it only means one partner.
The Democrats will have learned
if they have an ally they will treat
him with at least respect.

A Daily Newspaper.

There is throughout the South a
growing demand for an enterpris
ing and an impartial daily news
paper, at about the price formerly
charged for the antiquated weekly
editions.
To meet this demand the Even
ing Post has reduced the price Of
its daily issue by mail only to two
dollars.
For two years the Evening Post
has fought the battle for sound
money in Kentucky, without bit
terness, but with all the earnestness
it could command.
When others hesitated it spoke /;
when others turned back it moved
forward.
Its work has brought to it a
larger audience, and demand for
a weekly edition in the reach of
everyone.
But daily edition is far better,
and it contains much besides poll
tics. 1t has the fullest reports
from the worlds markets; news
from all the great cities of the
world; the record of progress and
Improvement; a photograph of
passing fashions and a short story
daily.
These, with other features, make
a modern newspaper. When the
Evening Post was established May
/, 1878, white paper was 9 cents a
pound, and the type setting ma
chine was unknown; these changes
have revolutionized the newspaper
business.
Then the price was 5 cents a
copy; now it is delivered by car
riers at 10 cents a week.
Friends of sound money should
not rest on their arms; Democrats
disguised with Organism must be
brought back to the old fold.
That is the work before the par
ty, and the Evening Post would be
first in that work.
Hence the open offer by mail on
ly of the paper for one year for 81.
The next year will be as important
as any in our history, and for 50
one may have the Evening Post,
which tells that absorbing story
day by day.
The success of our various cam
paign offers proves that a demand
exists for a daily paper throughout
the rural sections of Kentucky and
the South. and we intend to supply
it. Let all interested in the cause
of sound money and an unadulter-
ated Democracy consider this offer
and bring it to the attention of
their communities. Two dollars,
one year, by mail only.

About two years ago the members
of the Christian Church here

a lady to sit on. Licking Union is
a noted place and is a great place
for people out of the neighborhoOd
to attend church. Now, the
people in this part ought to see to
this, as it will not cost much to
procure seats for. the church, which
will add greatly to the house, be-
sides the comfort that we would
enjoy when at church. Now, let

So NEAR AND YET So FAR.--h is
a serious reflection that a change
of 25,393 would have given the
Presidency to Bryan. Take, tor
instance, a change of 1000 in In
diana; it would have given the
vote to Bryan. The Peoples party
had at least $4,000 votes in Indi-
ana, and Bryan could have got
them had the Populists been treat
ed right. But, with true Bourbon
bullheadedness, the Democrats tried
to bulldoze the middle Of the road
ers. instead of conciliating them,
and the result was a mash-up in
which Bryan lost the State. Again,
a change in Ky. of PSI votes would
have given it to Bryan. The Pop
ulist vote in Ky in 1892 was %, 500.
