The Shooting of II. Labori May
Result in Dreyfus' Early

New York, Aug. 16.--Joseph
Reinach, cables the following state.
ment to the Journal:
''The shooting of Labor will

not the outcome of a weak mind; it

DEMOCRATS AROUSED.
Campaign Committee Organized
And Will Go In to Win.

The Democrats of Christian coun-
ty have on their fighting clothes
The committee has been re-organ-
lied and only two weak links were
found in the chain of % members
and their places were promptly
filled.
A Campaign Committee of thirty
members was organized Tuesday
with Buckner Leavell Chairman
and Frank n. .Bassett Secretary.
The best men in the party asked
to be given places on this committee.
All are anxious to work and there
is going to be a fight this year the
like of which has not been seen in
Christian county since 1890, when
the, Democrats swept the county.
Christian county has often been
carried by Democrats and it can be
carried again with a close organi-
cation and proper efforts. Indica-
tions are that the gold Democrats
will as rule vote the ticket this
year and there is more disaffection
in the Republican party than there
is in the Democratic party.
In the last county election, with
the election boards packed against
the Democrats, the Republicans
came within 800 votes OF losing a
part of their ticket. With fair Of
fcers and an honest election, this
slender majority can be overcome
and will be. This is going to be
Landslide year. Kentucky is
going Democratic by a majority so
large that Goebel's vote will exceed
the vote of all the other four candi-
dates combined. Not more than
10000 voters will attend the side
shows while the big circus is going
on, and Goebel's majority will be
at least 10000.
Christian county is anxious to
help swell that majority and wants |
to furnish two votes for Joe Black
burn in the next Legislature. And |
when the Democracy of old Chris
tian goes in to win, it wins.

BROTHER KERFOOT.
Called Down Hard by Hon. John
w. Bolts, of Shelby County.

Shelbyville, KY, Aug. 15.--Hon.
John w. Bolts, a prominent Demo-
crat of this county, created a sensa-
ton in a speech at the court house,
following Congressman Settles
splendid effort for the ticket. Mr..
Bolts bitterly denounced Rev. F. H.
Kerfoot, of the Baptist Theological
seminary at Louisville, for making
political speech here last week at
the state missionary convention of
the Christian church of Kentucky.
Squire Bolts is member of the
Christian church and was present
when Kerfoot made the break.
Kerfoot, who is the head Of the
temperance movement in this state,
was invited to address the conven-
ton on that subject, but instead
made a bitter attack on Senator
Goebel. Squire Bolts said Kerfoot 5
pdl vas uOl Oh lIC "a lhlCu PIO-
gram, and it was a discourse in the
interest of the Republican party.
He referred to Rev. George Darsie,
of Frankfort, as a life long Repuo-
lican, who had been appointed by
the Republicans as steering COM
mittee to get Brother Kerfoot in the
meeting in the alleged interest of
temperance, but in reality, to attack
the Democratic ticket. He denounc-
ed Kerfoot' S Incorporate language
as becoming only to ward politi-
clan and an unfair and unworthy
attack on men who were the peers
of any in Kentucky. He referred to
the cranks who beset every legisla-
ture with special legislation, and
said Goebel had done more for NOR
ality than any other man in Ken
lucky when he succeeded in having
gambling and running Of lotteries
made felonies.

there was no roll call during the
convention, all the nominees being
chosen by reclamation. A resolu-
ton was adopted demanding the
use of the rooster. The convention
completed its work at Ills o'clock
last night. About 1000 persons at

1880 were present when the night
