THE candidates met with the cam
paign committee at Frankfort Friday
to discuss the outlook and plans of cam
paign. All agreed that the disaffection
in the counties that they had visited
was small and growing smaller. It was
decided to remove the campaign head
quarters to Louisville, owing to better
railroad facilities. A letter TO Senator
Blackburn from Mr.. Bryan said he
would be in Kentucky the latter part of
September TO speak for the ticket.
Gov McCreary said the boilers were
confined to those who had not voted the
ticket since 1895 and that SO far as he
could discover the Brown movement
would amount to nothing. Judge
Breckenridge said it was a complete
farce and the story that ex-Coufeder-
ates would not vote the ticket was false.
Investigation shows that 90 out of every
100 would vote the democratic ticket
from top to bottom. Others spoke
equally as encouraging and there is
every indication that the bolt is bigger
now than it will ever be again. In fact
the ticket Is beginning to disintegrate,
the most decent man on it, having had
his name Withdrawn and others will do
so as they see what miserable bust
ness 1t is playing second fiddle for Tay-
Tor and being used as jumping jacks by
the l.. & N.

| IN his speech at Ellzabethtown Sat
urday, which was heard by vast
crowd, Mr.. Goebel read a letter from
August Belmont, chairman Of the l..
q N. Railroad Co., In which he says
that the company desires to take no
hand 10 politics, "but will bring to bear
on the public all the arguments that IL
can command to counterfeit the iuiiu-
ence OF Goebel's un iustihable hostility"
Then Mr.. Goebel went for Mr.. Belmont
and his company and gave the reasons
for its hostility, adding: "The
l.. d n. railroad doesn't need pro5ec-
ton. All it needs is fair treatment,
and that propose to give IL. 1t Is
strong enough to protect Itself | don't
know what words | could choose In
which to thank Mr.. August Belmont
for writing me this letter. 1t is COM
plcte and official substautiation Of my
assertions" Mr.. GOebel also presented
a certified copy Of the records by the
clerk Of Bell county showing that Con-
gresham Colson was appointed an OH
Ger of an election 10 which he was
candidate. 81 dare Mr. Taylor 10 print /,
the records of the Bell county court |
showing who were appointed election
officers" said MIR. Goebel with refer
ence to Mr.. Taylor's charge that the
records do not show that Colsou
"served" as an election officer.
In response to Taylor's blow about
the collection of franchise tax, Mr..
Goebel showed that democratic con-
stitutional assembly established the
tax bill, which he happened 70
write, and a democratic Legislature
put it into effect. The republicans had
no hand in 1t. Don't forget" the
speaker added, "the reduction in rail
Dad assessment of sl2,000,0O0 under
republican rule aud half the tax would ,

THOUGH Taylor attacked his admin
istration in his London speech, Gov.
Brown did not find time at Bowling
Green to answer or deny the charges,
being too busy making apologies for
himself and abusing the democratic
ticket and the Louisville convention to
attend to small thing like that. Brown
and Taylor understand each other. The
republican nominees remarks are
made in Pickwickian sense and for
the purpose of keeping up appearances.
1t won't do to recognize too fully or
rather publicly his debt OF gratitude to
his aid society.

BROWNS beginning OF his boiling
CANVASS at Bowling Green was decided.
ly disappointing both in numbers and
enthusiasm, and in the character OF his
speech. There were about GOO to hear
him, many being Goebei men who went
for curiosity aud who worked the un-
suspecting and unsophisticated L. * n.
free ticket distributors in a way they
must now despise. According to the
statement of reputable citizen of
Franklin, at least $50 Goebelites went
on the special from there. Trains were
run from every direction without mon
ey and without price it is said, with
free lunch thrown in besides, aud still
the crowd came not. Brown devoted
much Of his speech to Goebel's charge
that he had endeavored through the
Louisville Times to stampede the con-
vention and obtain the nomination from
the body that he now delights so much
to abuse. He admitted that he was
willing Barkis, but says Messrs. c. c. !
McChord and Urey Woodson came to
him unsolicited and urged him to do so
to save the party from the enevitable
defeat that Mr.. Goebel's nomination
would cause. AS the gentlemen named
are GOebel's right and left bowers, the
absurdity OF the ex-guv's statement is
apparent. He also admitted Black
burns charge that he stumped the
State against Kentucky's tavorite son,
John G. Breckenridge, but denied that
he was bolter. He likewise admitted
that he voted for the electoral commits
sion. which knocked Tilden out of the
presidency, but said he was in mighty
good company when he did so. When
Bryan comes 10 Kentucky he intends TO
ask him II the agreement of Goebel
and Stone were carried, would not this
show fraud and invalidate the nomina-
ton under the constitution. The rest
Of the speech was the same as that de-
livered at Lexington and the whole eff /
fort proved stale, fat and Improbable. /
The enormity OF the effort that the {
Taylor aid society is making to defeat |
Goebel, is beginning to dawn on the /
people and if the whole thing doesn't I
collapse before election day twill take a
he record from the Palmer and Buck a
her fasco by getting less than 5000 +
Totes in the State. n

SOME of the editors, notably those Of
the Todd County Democrat and Times,
have had their passes on the L. & ~.
recalled by President NJ. Fl. Smith for
publications inimicable, as Mr.. Smith
considers them, to the political inter-
ests of his road. This would seem to
indicate that those who transgress the
rules laid down by the company will be
similarly treated. and as most of the
editors appear to be ''transgressing,"
the probability is that whole lot of
fellows who have been accustomed to
riding on passes will either have TO
stay at home, walk or pay their fare In
money like white people. But they
should not have been so "bigoty."

Alaska, and writes as follows to the Shamo-

DAWSON, July 8, 1899.
EDITOR HERALD After very exciting
but thoroughly enjoyable trip arrived here
safely last week and find Dawson great
mining camp. Have been busy during the
past lew days securing a location for our
plant, rents are high and buildings scarce
1t costs from $500 to 81, 900 month to occupy
even small store room in poorly con-
structed frame building on First avenue or
tho main business street | have succeeded in
making deal with planning mill to erect us
log CABIN, 20x4O feet two stories high on
Third avenue, outside of the fire limit, for $275
per month. This is considered a big bargain
here. Third avenue is just building up and
we have corner location, at Third avenue
and Fourth streets. During the winter there
are many fires here and to be outside the FIRE
limit is great advantage. Our building Is
in course of construction, work having been
commenced this morning and ii will be COM
pleted before July 18th. or within eight
days. The lot is worth s. 900 and the build
ing will cost $4,000 This is merely for
finishing the building in two large rooms
the first and second stories. Everything else
is as gh in proportion to rents. For instance
the hotel am stopping at charges $40 per
day or $3.50 per month. Any kind Of cigar is
soc lemonade, soc; laundrying shirts, SOC
collars, 25c. In fact there is no smaller coin
here than % cents.
As soon as we get our Office completed in
N.,aN 49, II II i y
will occupy. 1t appears that the greatest ex-
pense here in hotel living is for the room,
which costs "a per day By having my own
room | can get my meals for 500 per month.
The plant will likely arrive about July IL
and of course we expect to do a big business.
The paper will sell for 25cts copy and ad-
vertising will be worth $40 per inch per
month and $50 per inch for what goes on the
first page. Job printing charges are about as
follows for lots of 1000 Business cards, $25
letter heads $50 statements, $40; 1-16
dodgers, S22 sheets, $50 envelopes, S25.
Workmen receive $40 per day or from $3.50 to
$500 per month, but as everything is
very high here they cannot save a
great deal on that salary. There
are about ten thousand people here
and the new daily has heen the talk
of the town, which we have billed with
posters in two colors. The greatness of this
place cannot be conceived and intend writ
ing few letters for the Herald. The first
will tell of the trip into the country and the
others describe the town and its methods of
doing business. From these you can get a
better idea of life here. H. G. STEEL.

THE ANTHRACITE TRADE.
Dealers Not Likely to Stock up at Higher
Prices.

Dealers Not Likely to Stock up at Higher
Prices.
The anthracite trade is considered by the
Coal Trade Journal:
"The hard coal trade continues in good
condition, and there is not one of the pro-
ducers but who believes in n big business
for this interest in the last half of this
year. Some of them even go 80 far as to
talk of large increase over the tonnage
that has been done in recent years during
that period, and even in excess of the ag-
gregate tonnage in the best months of the
six. 1t remains to be seen if the views of
those optimistic gentlemen represent the
actual condition of affairs. We fancy there
will be some modification, but look for a
very good year of it altogether particularly
if prices are not doomed too much
There has been some gossip in the papers
and among a portion of the trade that
there might be an increase in the price
list of anthracite, dating from August 1,
but we fail to find this confirmed by Off
cials of the companies who should know
whereof they speak. 1t would not be we'll
for the producer to make any advance at the
time stated, for, with the product going as it
has for the past two months past, the dealers
are in position to take breathing spell in
the way Of purchases, and will not care if
the price be changed, for they are not likely
to buy again until there are more distinct
signs of diminutiOn of their stocks"
