 SCathing ArraigDment.
REMOVE HIM FROM TICKET
In Letter fO Chairman Blackburn He Suggests Thai s@SeIf Re. SpeCf. Party Pride and personaI Honor" Demand That a ssLovaI Upright Honest Democrat" Be Put in GoebePS Place.

Louisville, Ky. Oct. 15.-The situation
 is critical for MT. Goebel, candidate for
 governor. Letters have been received
 from men who were with him before
 his attitude on the currency question
 was exposed by the letters from ex- Secretary John G. Carlisle, August Belmont and others, asking that some
 thing be done at once. The matter has
 gone so far at one time that his own 1 campaign committee discussed the i subject of his withdrawal The latest i addition to the ranks of the "bolters"
 is Senator Charles J. Bronston of Lex ington, who fought the memorable bat
 tie in the Kentucky legislature in the
 spring of 1896 for Senator Blackburn
 against pr. Godfrey Hunter in the race for United States senator Bron-
 ston is close friend of Blackburn and was a Goebel man, having offered
 his services to the campaign commit tee. MT. Bronstons letter is as fol- lows:
 'J. c. S. Blackburn, chairman:
 Dear Sir: I take the liberty of ad- dressing you as the chairman of the
 democratic campaign committee and
 the recognized leader of Kentucky
 democracy. Upon my return from
 Europe, I received a letter from your
 committee. asking me to speak on be-
 half of the democratic ticket, headed
 by the Hon. William Goebel To that
 letter I made prompt response, avow-
 ing my intentions of voting for Mir. Goebel and the entire ticket and ex-
 pressing my willingness to speak at any time or place your committee might consider an advantage to the cause of democracy, granting, how ever, the right to speak frankly and consistently upon certain measures in -corporated in the party platform, and especially assuring the committee of my readiness at all times to do any thing to aid the success of the candi- dates selected by the democratic party not violative of self-respect nor incon- sistent with personal honor.
 Your committee has made no reply to that letter, and I must, therefore. assume that it is still reserving the it's pleasure.
 T have just read the letter of Mir Goebel to MT. Carlisle, of date May g, 1896, and knowing me as you do, it is scarcely necessary for me to say that I cannot now speak for MT. Goebel on any conditions. To do so would be gross violation of all self-respect and a sacrifice of all personal honor, and in my humble judgment, disloyal to the best interests of the democratic party. Recalling, as I do, the memor- able contest in the general assembly of Kentucky in the spring of 1896, and the treachery to you and you, the party which had chosen you as its candidate, of MT. Carlisle and of his followers, I am simply mortified at being forced to know that MT. Goebel, with whom I was so intimately and constantly as- was then harboring the in- tent, immediately upon the adjourn nent of the legislature, and while your race was still pending and the cause for which we were so desperately fight ing was still held in the balance. to at once rush into the arms of his -erest foe and unite with him in IT ng your success and the primo embodied in your race impossible
 T will not indulge the presu of even suggesting to you associates that all self-resp' pride, and personal honor Q ,Ir. GoebePs name should organization be stricke ticket. and a loyal ! lemocrat and true ,lace. Upon yo1- judgment that res let, if you, as tf
