to accept it. Great pressure has

to take the place. HIS present du-

THE election of the nominee of to-
days convention would be no stranger
than the defeat of Hardin two years
ago or than McKinley's capture OF
welve-thirteenths of Kentucky's cleo
toral vote last November, quoths the
Louisville Times in a moment of as
sumed enthusiasm. Nay, nay, you arch
boltocrat; you may fool all the people
some of the time and some of the peo-
pie all the time, but you cant fool all of
the people all the time and they will
show you that your man does now and
will hereafter stand no more show than
a snow ball does in hades.

EDITOR ROBERTS, who has landed
a fat office, takes occasion to print sew
eral columns of stuff TO show that Sen
ator Deboe is doing as we'll as any man
could do under the circumstances,
while Editor Forester, Of the Frank
fort Capital, says: IF Kentucky, in
stead of sending Deboe TO Washington,
had shipped 250-pound barrel of salt
pork with proxy addressed to Mark
Hanna. tackled on the head, she would
be quite as we'll represented in the U.
S. Senate as she is at present" Doctors
have disagreed in all ages, but these
widely divergent views of editors in
the same party, discussing the first re-
publican Senator that that party ever
had in Kentucky, show that it makes a
great deal of difference how man
looks at thing and whether he is an
in or an out. But that the Frankfort man
has properly diagnosed the case there
is little doubt. Leastwise nine-tenths
of the people of Kentucky are satisfied
that Deboe is the worst accident that
ever befel the State.

a LOT of impatient and aspiring
young fellows got Gov. McCreary TO
consent to retire from the field he had
labored in for years and to which his
constituents delighted to send him.
The result was that the district was not
only lost to the democrats, but was won
by an ignorant individual, who hasn't
an idea above setting up political
skin game and getting his henchmen
appointed to post-otfices. Gov. Nc
Creary can redeem the district and is
probably the only man who can, yet
short horses are bobbing up to confuse
matters and possibly prevent the gov
ernor from running again. These men
should think little. 1t is flattering,
doubtless, TO their vanity 10 be talked
of for Congress, but what we want to
do next time, is TO nominate and elect
a man who can win. That man is Gov.
James Bennett McCreary, and here's
hoping that he will see his way clear TO
respond to the peoples call again.

IN answer to categorical question
of its statement that "a large number
OF party men who acted with the sill
verites last year have seen the error of
their way and returned to the fold OF
true democracy" the Louisville Times
could only name ex-Congressman j. X
Hendrick, of the first district, who is
still sore over the way he was thrown
down by his constituents for Wheel
err last year. But even this solitary
individual over whom so much has
been made by the Courier-Journal and
Times did not have the gall to attend
the convention.

THE boltocratic convention at Lou
isville was slimly attended affair, eX-
cept by Louisville people, who went out
of curiosity. The majority OF those
who took part are men whose political
prestige is only in the past and who
have no future in that line. Many oil
them are men of intellect, however,
but each had grievance for being
turned down from their high place as
leaders and prefer to dwell in the tents
of wickedness to being door keeper
in the house Of the regular democracy.
There was absolutely no reason or ex-
cuse for this little convention, except
that the generals" appear to want to
get the factions of the party wider
apart and put more republicans in
office.
There is no question of the Times
statement that it was an aggregation OF
brains. for there were some massive in
tellects in the gathering, but their
owners are using them for a poor pur-
pose. They betrayed the party last
year and got suckers to vote for their
decoy ticket, made up OF those political
back numbers, Palmer and Buckner,
while most of them went square over
to the enemy. The same trick can not
be worked again. Honest democrats
are onuto their racket and wont be
caught by chat any more. They will
vote the straight democratic ticket,
which scorns to even consider fusion,
with their hated enemy, the republican
party. Buckner, Carlisle, Lindsay and
Watterson. were once a big quartet,
but they no longer WELD the influence
they once did and they may congregate,
crate and try to dictate from now till
doomsday. but the rank and file will
heed them not. They promised them
bread. If they would help to defeat Bry-
an. They gave them stone after Bry-
an was defeated and for better times
under Mckinley they get harder luck
and higher taxes. They can not fool
even fools but once and Kentucky dem
ocrats will show them a thing or two
next.time that they have never learned
in their philosophy.

WHILE some of us voted for Mckin-
ley at the last election. say the Barren
county boltocrats in their resolutions,
preferring the lesser of the two evils,
nevertheless we still adhere to the
principles of Jeffersonian democracy,
as supported by Jackson. They look
at beautiful way to show their love OF
those principles. TO be sure. y vote
for Mckinley was a vote for everything
that democracy opposed, and can be at
toned for only in sackcloth and ashes
before the voter is fit to sit at a demo
cratic table again.

Hon. r. G. FORD, of Middlesboro, ii
is said will try for the democratic nom

has superior qualifications for the of,
fee, is most deserving democrat, and
made a great race for the office before.
The people wanted change in party
administrations, however, that year
and they got it like the old woman kept
tavern in Texas, so Ford and the rest
of the democratic ticket went down.

A MOMENT later Col. w. G. Z. Brock

same Billy Breckenridge that the
Tines used to berate so viciously.
Things certainly have changed since
the death of Elizabeth, when the pure

ago found none so lowly as to do him

BoLToCRATs IN CONVENTION

A man handicapped by the plebian-
patronymic of Sims presided over the
bolocratic convention temporarily
while the Hon. John G.. Carlisle, OF
New York, held the concern down In
its permanent shape. Judge X. t. ia

Eighth district on the committees,
while that perennial old fraud, Hoder
Pouyard, was tickled with the honor
of being vice-president.

spoke. Watterson spoke, Billy Breck-
inridge spoke, Carroll also spoke, ana

soldier and was put in nomination by
Gen. Buckner, a. Confederate soldier,
but this stage play will avail nothing
except to make democrats sorry they
ever voted for either and more deter
mined to elect Shackelford.
The platform re-affirms the lndianap-
oils declarations, by endorsing tariff
for revenue only, the gold standard
aud the civil service law. 1t denounces
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer as dangerous to public welfare and
private interests, endorses the admin
istrations of Cleveland and Carlisle
and denounces all forms of lawlessness,
including turnpike and other mobs. IL
only took the convention one afternoon
and evening to get through with its
cut and dried program.
