In this connection one of our friends
tells pertinent story of the order of
the Rank and File, which existed in
Estill county quarter Of century ago.
As the story goes, an olden time
preacher who had been in the Mexican
War and War OF the States, had quite
following in the Pine Top region, and
it was whispered that he and his friends
were always prosperous about election
times. One year they formed them
selves into a secret society which thev
called the Rank and File. The old
preacher had a brother who lived in
the same neighborhOod who was of the
earth earthly, but who was honest and
dealt fairly with his fellow men. One
night this honest brother, slightly af-
fected by too frequent doses of moon
shine, was passing the schoolhouse
where the Rank and File were having
a meeting and, uuobserved, he walked
in and took a seat. The preacher
brother was presiding, and giving the
password, explaining the grip and other
intricacies of the order. During a lull
in the proceedings, the worldly brother
arose and meekly asked if he might in
quire the purposes OF the order. The
Chairman announced that if no object
ion was made he would tell the inquir-
ing friend the purpose of the order.
No objection being heard, he stated
that the purpose of the order was to
prevent vote selling. The worldly
brother arose and returned his thanks
for the information and said: "Well,
all I've got to say is this: If you fellers
all stick together, you've got the var
mint freed "

Hon. VIM. GOEBEL formally opened
the campaign at Mayfield on Monday
in the presence of 5000 people. Mr..
Goebel covered the whole field of po-
litical controversy in a courageous,
convincing manner and treasured his
hearers that the banner Of Democracy
had been placed in the hands of brave
and brainy standard-bearer. HIS
speech is the whole Democratic cate
chlsm for 1899, and leaves nothing
untouched except Gov. Brown and his
boiling crew for whom he had words
OF neither praise nor scorn. If these
will now read Goebel's speech and hear
his side of the controversy they will be
fair to themselves, to their party, and
to their State.

making gambling felony; bill en-
powering cities of the second-class to

were passed the Chinn School Book

The Thirtieth Annual Session Of the
Madison County Teachers Institute
was held at the Caldwell High School
building, August IL, with Prof. AL
fred Livingston. of Somerset. KY, as
instructor.
There were SO teachers enrolled, 20
of whom were ladies and 26 gentlemen
The institute proved to be one of the
most successful ever held in the
county. Most of the teachers expressed
themselves as being well pleased and
greatly benefited and went back to their
work with renewed energy and zeal.
AS one evidence OF this, more books
were taken from the teachers Library
at the close of the institute than ever
before on any other occasion. Many
distinguished visitors were present dur
ing the session of the institute, and it
was remarked by them that the insti-
tute was composed of the most inteli-
gent and good looking body of teachers
ever seen III Madison county. Not a
teacher asked to be excused or made
an apology. The program prepared by
Supt. Wagers was ably and entertain
ingly carried out. The ladies were es-
pecially prompt in the discharge of
their duties and some most excellent
speeches were made by them. Prof
Livingston, by his GENIAL disposition
has made a most favorable impression
on the citizens of Richmond, rs well as
on the teachers Of the county. His
talks were instructive, demonstrating
his scholarship and ability as an educa-
tor. So well pleased were the teachers
with Prof, Liyingston's work, that they
passed resolution that his services be
secured again.

WE reprint, by request, Gov. Browns
speech before the conference at Lex
ington, August .. In so doing We are
fairer than our friends who requested
this favor, for few if any of them went
to hear Congressman Gilbert when he
spoke here on court day for the regular
ticket, and yet they would be dissatis-
fed with such a show ofindifference on
our part to a movement that has
avowedly for its purpose the defeat of
Democracy in this State. Gov. Brown
has lost one hundred and fifty thous
and friends by making this speech and
we do not mind losing him few more
by reprinting it.
We will wager button to q ginger

As the Brown bolters hereabouts
read nothing but anti-Democratic
newspapers, they should open their eyes
to the position of the newspapers in
his own section of Western Kentucky.
Mr.. Brown in all his life has not had
any more loyal or faithful friends and
admirers than Leigh of the Paducah
News, Meacham of the Hopkinsville
Kentuckian, Baker of the Madisonville
Mail, Owens of the jacksonville Hus-
tier, Haag of the Henderson Cleaner,
and Berry of the UniOntown Telegram.
But they can not follow him out of the
Democratic party, and in terms of ex-
IRENE regret they bid him goodby. In
all Kentucky not Democratic editor,
whether his personal relations have
been intimate or otherwise with the
distinguished ex-governor, has been
drawn into the revolt by his action.

II he never before deserved the title
of Little" George Matt Adams, that
once constant Office-holder deserves it
now, having applied for the title in 80
when he sulked and worked against
Wood Longmoore and now is working
hard against GOebel. There are other
such Democrats(?) who owe all they
are to that party which they habitually
try to ruin whenever they cannot rule
it. Little Matt fought the Confederate
soldiers in war and in peace, and John

THE election of Hon. ], C. S. Black
burn to the United States Senate to
succeed Senator Lindsay is as much
involved in the present campaign as is
that of Mr.. Goebel to the Governorship.
If the Democratic State ticket is de-
feated the Legislature will undoubtedly
be so close as to make Blackburn's de-
feat possible. 1t is already limited that
John Young Brown has his eyes upon
the Senate, hoping to carry a few Legis-
lative districts as a nucleus, which adj
ded to the Republican vote would elect
him, should he be able to make deal
