The Richmond climax. (Richmond, Ky.) 1897-1914, 1899-09-06

HON. JAMES b. MCCREARY spoke at
the court house on Monday to full
house, despite the intense heat. He
ably defended the nominees of the
Louisville convention, and showed that
the defeat of Goebel by a division OF
the party will result in the election OF
another Republican administration and
the defeat of Bryan in Kentucky in
1900, exactly duplicating the history OF
1886. Mr.. McCreary spoke for near
ly two hours and received the best at
tention and his many strong points
were loudly applauded. The Governor
was in fine spirits and rewarded his
hearers with a powerful address, de-
void of abuse tor those who differed
from him but no less earnest and elo-
quent in behalf of the regular party
nominees. Mr.. Kehte, of Maysville,
was also to have spoken, but was I'M
avOidably detained. His absence was
regretted but our own distinguished
fellOwcitizen amply compensated for
the disappointment caused by Mr..
Kehoe's absence.
Mr.. McCreary reviewed the true in
side history of the Louisville conven-
tion in which he was a prominent actor,
explained the points about which so
much controversy has been stirred up
by disappointed candidates and kept
alive by influences inimical to Demo
cratic supremacy. He eulogized the
ticket and of Mr.. Goebel said: abe
has been worse villifed and misrepre-
sented than any candidate who ever Of
fered for place in Kentucky. And yet
his private and public life aie blame
less, the only reason for these mendac-
ious charges being GoebePs persistent
and consistent fight for the interests oil
the masses against the encroachments
of combined wealth and corporate
power" 1.-The time has not yet
come for Kentucky to have Governor
wearing the collar of corporations.
But we must have one, able, coura-
geous, and patriotic. Such a man is
VIM. Goebel."
Loud applause followed the remark
that "the man who fails to vote for Goe-
bel and the ticket stabs the Democratic
party" This and many other strong
points in the Governors speech drew
forth generous applause. He scored
the Book Trust, and upheld the Nc
Chord Bill. He exhibited two common
school histories, identical in all parti-
culars, one of which sells for IS cents
in Indiana the other for 81 in Ken
tuckv. he showed how this difference
in the cost Of school books cost the peo-
pie ofthis good State sl82. 900 annually.
He paid his respects to Brown and the
Dispatch, declaring the former was
bolter in 1850. and that the Dispatch
bad but one Iedeeming feature, its mis-
a. niotio, The cause is greater than

CUTTING Near Berea.

At a colored church association near
Rerea on Saturday night, two Chastine
brothers, white men from Rockcastle,
became disorderly, and, it is reported,
fired their pistols. disturbing the wor-
ship. Constable Galloway attempted
to arrest the men, but meeting with
stout resistance, called upon Ike Coyle,
white, and Sam Moran, colored, to as
sist in arresting them. The Chas-
tines drew their knives and cut
Moran in the back, hands and side,
cut Coyle across the hand and arm,
and then escaped. As the Grand Jury
is in session the offenders will proba-
bly, be indicted.

The Richmond Paragraphs editorial
and news columns do not agree with each
other on very important question, the
GOebel Election Law. In the former it
continually inveighs against the wick
ed instrument, which it believes breeds
all the political ills, but when put to
practical test openly prononnces it
above reproach. Listen to this:
1T has been asked if there will be any
change in this county. OF course it is
difficult to tell. but there is not anv par
ticular reason why there should be.
The present commissioners are fair and
impartial and certainly our people are
not demanding their removal ANY
change made at this stage OF the game
would cause wide indignation among
the friends Of the gentlemen now sery-
ing on the board. We are satisfedSith
the present board of commissioners and
are willing to abide by any count they
NAV make. With them at the count
ing desk, Madison county voters ire
spective of party, will get fair deal"

A Familiar FIGURE Gone.

1t is with feelings of extreme regret
that we are compelled 10 chronicle the
death of our venerable friend and fell
low citizens, Squire VIM. Williams, Of
Red Honse, a man known to all our
older citizens aud a figure familiar to
most every one in the county. His
death followed a brief but painful i'll
ness which aroused widespread appre-
hension as so its result. Deceased
leaves three living children, Mrs. Sam
Shearer, OF SheareI, Ky Taylor Will
Jams, OF Mclean county, Ill , and w.
A. Williams, of this county. One broth
er and three sisters survive, Mrs.
Naomi Lakewood, Mrs. Amanda Will
more, Mrs. John Reid, and Daniel
Williams. Seventeen grandchildIe
and eleven great-grandchildren bless
the memory OF their respected ances-
tor.
Mr.. Williams was born November S,
1919, on the waters of Otter Creek He
was son of Nathan and Celia Oldham
Williams. His career has been full of
honor as it has been full of years and
the tears of relations and friends are
mingled freely over the departure Of
this sturdy specimen of manhood.
Peace to his ashes, to his memory last
ing honor. C. E. W.

GENERAL TAYLOR in his opening
campaign speech at London said
"away with the tariff, away with the
money question! There is one issue
paramount to all and that is Goebel-
ism "
We don't blame the General for
such remarks. God knows if there are
two questions that Republican can
didate wants to waive or run from they
are the Tariffand money issne. As to the
third, if it be true, as has been charged
that General Taylor has announced
that he will not meet Mr.. Goebel on
the stump for fair discussion of the
issue it puts the Republican candidate
in the light of self-confessed dodger OF
the very issue he would make promin-
ent. Come out in the open, General.
Don't run over the State in a grand
stand play. If your position will not
stand the the Searchlight OF open discus
sion you will find that the people will
neither respect your position or your
ability.-Winchester Sun,

Here's pointer. The manufacturer
of the large Goebel and Taylor buttons
that retail for loo, says that he has sold
$4,000 with GoebeI's picture and only
5000 with Taylor's and that he can
scarcely supply the demand for the
former.
Those who support the Louisville
ticket are Democrats. The little band
of puriicationists monkeying as ticket
and nominated by l.. & n. employees
and broken down politicians should be
known by its real and true namo-"The

Theodore Mailman says there ought

who will vote that ticket or the Repub-
lican, are already raging around hunt
ing for audiences to address.
Caleb Powers, Republican nominee
for secretary of State, will speak As
times during the canvass, which seems
to be considerable over time for a short
horse.
John d. White says that under no
circumstances would he vote for Tay-
lOr for governor because he is a poll

said that the Brown ticket would not
get ever 500 votes in the entire State,
and that it was the weakest of political
side-shows.

PEcUNIARY ADVANTAGE.
The University has an investment in
Richmond of $4,000 in buildings and
equipment. 1t has expended on an
average annually for the support of the
Professors and for necessary expenses
about SIS, 900, and for twenty-five y Years
1915 000.
About 100 young men from distance
are in annual attendance and each one
spends ON an average about $500 4 year
or $50 600 for the whole. This sum
multiplied by rs gives us the aggregate
Of $4,000, the amount paid out by
students since the Institution was es-
tablished.
We can all understand these figures
The pecuniary benefits TO the county
have been very great. But who can
estimate the intellectual and moral
power which has gone forth from the
Institution
Who can measure the influence for
good exerted by the large number OF
young men who nave been educated
within its walls?
How many Of these young men
would have gone to college had the
University not been located in Rich
mOnd?
Do not these facts and figures make
the strongest appeal for the continued
moral support and patronage Of the peo-
pie OF this great county2
