They are lost good and proper.
Several weeks ago they left the

of spirits and awfully pleased
with the scenery en- route.
1t is the custom to send new
freight cars out of the works at
Jacksonville in care of various
railroads, and loaded with freight
to lessen the charges for handling
them. 1t seems that the Penn
sylvania had made an arrange
ment to handle the 1000 new
Denver d Rio Grande cars
under a plan of this kind. After
leaving Chicago, it is believed,
various division superintendent
and others scattered here and
there without knowledge of the
fact that the cars were intended
for prompt delivery to the Den
yer d Rio Giande, and put them
into service of one kind or an
other. The Pennsylvania is said
to have quite a shortage of freight
cars this fall, anyhow, owing to
big crops in the west. But the
Denver & Rio Grande needs the
cars, too, or it would not have
ordered them, and the Ohio Falls
work-well, it needs the money.
A tracer has been sent out
after the stray 1000 cars. He
has located a few of them out

ONE of the laughable incon-
sistencies of the Democratic cam
paign in Kentucky is found in
the first section of the platform
adopted by the Louisville Music
Hall convention. 1t reads: "The
Democrats of Kentucky, in con-
vention assembled, re-affirm,
without the slightest qualifica-
ton, the principles and policies
declared in the Democratic Ma
tional Platform adopted at Chi
cago in 1896. Their faith in BIZ
metallism is indicated by
events"
We all remember that the
country was to go to the "demni-
ton borrows" if it didn't accept
the Chicago platform with its
policy of free silver and its can
didate of free speeches-frOm

No Railroad Commissioner.

The change of plan in reference
TO railroad commissioner for this
district as decided by the State
Central Committee has killed a
powerful good announcement in
The BEE of Dick Salmon's candi-
dacy for that office. We had
been sprouting good things to say
about Dick since we received his
letter containing the announce

State Central Committee says
"no," and THE BEE reserves the
good things it had to say against

for which he is well equipped.

draw his candidacy. The wisest

GOVERNOR BRADLEY
ON THE STUMP.
Man Who First Led Kentucky
Republicans TO Victory
WILL ADVOCATE REPUBLICAN TICKET
His Veto of Goebel Bill FOunda-
ton of the Great Fight
Against IL.

Governor William o. Bradley,
the man who first led Kentucky
Republicans to victory, bore the
brunt of the battle in the heat of
the day and was seated in the
Governors chair, where he has
most ably and fearlessly per-
formed the duties of that respon-
sible office, has announced that
he will take the stump for the
Republican State ticket.
There is harmony and victory
in the air throughout the Repub-
lican ranks. The Goebel papers
have persistently predicted that
the Governor would not be heard
in this campaign and upon this
prediction they based their CON
clusion that there was a lack of
enthusiasm and harmony in the
Republican party.
Governor Bradley has sin his
own way and with his unique in
dividual strength been in the con-
test for pure elections and for
the preservation of the right of
suffrage from the beginning"
remarks the Commercial. ''The
Republican argument everywhere
for the overthrow of Goebelism
is based upon Gov. Bradley's
powerful veto of the Goebel cleo
ton law, and in effect the Gov
ernor began the campaign which
is being prosecuted now, when
he stood between the people and
corrupt Democratic legislature,
with William Goebel at the head
of it, and exhausted the measure
of executive power to defeat its
infamous purposes"
