Especial Letter to the Kentucky Irish
American.
FRANKFORT, KY, June l6 1899.-The
earth has ceased to tremble, the giant
oaks upon the hill sides ceased to sway,
and the mighty roar of the waters of the
historic old Kentucky become quiet. All
OF which was occasioned by the "mag-
nificent production" from the pen of the
"Shan Van Vocht," which appeared in
last weeks Kentucky Irish-American.
The Juvenile scribe" will not "vainly
attempt to notice this magnificent pro-
duction" from Shelby's brilliant corre-
spondent. Perhaps when have had as
many years experience as the "Shan Van
Vocht" | may become as brilliant as my
friend in Shelby. But as such a thing is
impossible, for the present at least will
continue to give to the readers of the
Kentucky Irish-American the latest news
from the State Capital. The Juvenile
scribe" sends kindest regards to the
Shan Van Vocht" and trusts that in
future she will reserve her "personali-
ties" for residents of Shelbyville.
When these lines appear in print it is
possible that the gubernatorial race, so
far as the Democratic nomination is con-
cerned, will be practically settled. There
has undoubtedly been a greater interest
in this race than has been excited for
years. All three candidates are confident
of victory, but two of them will have to
be disappointed. Which will be lucky
enough to reach his very laudable ambi-
ton it is hard to tell at the present writ
ing. Whether the son of poor but honest
German parents or the descendant of
"blue-blooded" Kentucky family shall
occupy the gubernatorial chair will in a
few days be settled. The county of
Franklin, on account of her candidate
for Attorney General-James A. Scott
will be forced to send divided delega-
tion-four votes each for Goebel, Stone,
and Hardin. Otherwise she would have
sent twelve solid votes for Senator Goebel.
In Fayette county, which would have sent
twenty votes for Goebel, the delegation is
also equally divided between the three
candidates for Governor, on account of
NJ. A. Cassiday, of that county, being a
candidate for Superintendent of Public
Instruction.
The new officers of Division No. l., A.
o. H., will be installed by County Presi-
dent Hogan Tuesday night, June 20.
Miss Jessie Davidson. of Louisville,
has been the delightful guest of Miss
Lizzie Downey, at Summer Forest" for
the past few days.
The many friends of Miss Corcoran,
head milliner at Mrs. Longs millinery
store, will regret to learn that she re-
turned to her home, at Lebanon, on
Thursday last. Miss Corcoran, by her
beautiful and kindly manner, made many
friends during her short stay in Frank
fort, who will hope to see her return in
September for the fall season.
