The death OF Lieutenant Commander T.

Spanish war, for disease contracted in the
service" Several years ago Lieutenant
Mason had command Of a landing party at
Panama, and while there fell a victim to
the chagres fever. Although he apparently

disease were left in his system, and when

Mr.. Mason belonged to one of the old

was a member of all the patriotic societies,
including the Cincinnati and Loyal Legion.

Lieutenant Mason's details were always

faithful friend, kind, generous and sym
pathetic, always ready to aid and assist
others and ever seeking opportunity to
demonstrate his good will and affection.
He was thoroughly wrapped up in his pro-
fession and always planning for its best
interests. His wife, the daughter Of Rear

civil Service Associations.
The National Civil Service Association
met in annual convention in Philadelphia
yesterday. President l.. p. Ault of New
Orleans was in the chair The financial
report showed the association to be in
good condition. Twenty customs ports and
United States minis are represented in the
association. The following resolution was

that employees should be retired at their
own expense under the supervision of the
government as contemplated by the Bro

Ike measures, a just and reasonable
policy toward employees; and believes that
such enactment would receive cordial ac-
quiescence and grateful acknowledgment"
The Brosius bill mentioned in the resolu-
ton stipulates that the classified men shall
be retired at certain age, and it further
provides that the necessary pension fund
shall be established by reductions from the
salaries of the employees. The bill will be
introduced in the next Congress.

Mr.. GOebeI's RefutatiOn.

In a speech at Hartford last Thursday
Mr.. GOebel attempted to refute the charges
of Mr.. Carlisle, by denying that he had
sought Carlisle's aid in taking sound
money delegation from Kenton county to
the convention of 1896 But the friends of
Mr.. Carlisle had still another card up their
sleeve, and made public in a local paper
letter written by Mr.. Goebel to ex-Secre-
tary Of State John W. Headley, dated May
g. 1896. in which the kenton county states
man asked exactly the same favor of Head
ley that he had denied asking of Carlisle.
In other words Mr.. GOebel was seeking at
that time, 1t is claimed, TO secure the rec
OgnittOn of his committee in kentOn cOun-
ty, and Gust the committee headed by Har
vey Meyers, who favored silver. Black
burn and Hardin" In this letter Mr. Goe-
bel had written a strong appeal to his
friend Headley, saying that his political
future depended upon his success in accom-
plishing the object outlined in his letter.
That these most recent political happen
ings have served to further weaken Mr.
GOebel with his party many conservative
supporters of the King Of Kenton" candi-
~ admit. One GOcbcl man said to your
correspondent last night: 1.-THE sound
money democrats, many of whom had de-
termined, because of party regularity. to
vote for GOebel, are now saying that they
cannot consistently do so because of Goe-
be. : trCachery to Carlisle. and because of
GOebelS record on the money question. And
the silver men-Some of them-are weak
ening because they say Goebel has been
shown to be a little too unsteady on his
silver legs"

Rival Claims of Candidates.

While the Brown democrats assert with
a good deal of confidence that the tide has
already set in against Goebel, the support
ers of the Kenton leader smile and
point to the fact that the offer of a bet
of 10000 to $1,000 on Goebel remains I'M
taken. The Goebel adherents also declare
mat they have pOlled the state organized
their forces magniicently, and that there
Is no way of defeating their ticket
The republicans now, as heretofore are
making no claims, but are continuing their
scml-stlll hunt tactics, depending more on
the split In the democratic party and the
vote they will get from the boiling element
than on any other factor to insure their
success two weeks hence
But the one thing the Goebelites are de-
pending upon more than any or all others
to bring back into line many of the bolt
ers, and TO more completely organize the
regular Goebel forces Is the visit of Mr.
Bryan to Kentucky.
Campaign to End In whfrIwind.
The next two weeks are to be devoted to
whirlwind campaigning, and the greatest
political battle ever fought In Kentucky
Will finish In perfect blaze of political
glory. In addition to Mr. Bryan's tour of
three days this week, concluding at Lex
ington, the Cook County Marching Club of
Chicago, headed by Mayor Carter Harrison,
VIII come on Friday for two days stay
IN Kentucky. They will visit Louisville,
Lexington and two or three other larger
towns in the interest of the Goebel ticket
Then there are imported spellbinders from
twenty states in the local field for the vari-
Gus candidates, while the candidates of the
four larger parties will not sleep many
hours between now and the night Of No
vember g.
Mr.. Goebel will speak two or three times
each week day, beginning Thursday, until
the 9Th of November Gov Brown will
speak in q number of towns, finishing his
campaign in Louisville at a great mass
meeting Of anti-Goebel democrats, to be
held in the Auditorium on November g.
Gen. Taylor, the republican candidate for
governor. will leave no stone unturned
to add strength to hts ticket, and will be
aided in the campaigning by a number OF
orators from other states, while the popu-
lists will continue their plan of holding
'two-day rallies" in different towns up to
the last hour before the polls open The
populists have brought to the state such
men as Tom Watson of Georgia, Whirlwind
Williams of Wyoming, Cyclone Davis of
Texas. Senator Butler of South Carolina
Col. Howard Of Alabama and various other
notables, who have been doing splendid
work for the peoples party and against
the Goebel ticket
Mr. Goebel will wind up his work In the

his candidacy for the democratic nomina.

Curious Letter From Chairman Young
Another incident of the week that only
served to intensity the bitter feeling be-
tween the two factions in the democratic
party was the publication of what pur-
ported to be letter from Chairman Allie
Young of the GOebel central committee to
an election commissioner in a county in
the eleventh congressional district. In this
letter, which is photographed with Allie
foung's fac-simile signature, the state
chairman Is made to say to the commission
er in reference to finishing the poll of
the county; when the poll Is completed
the most important gun Of the campaign
Will have been fired. We will then know
just where We are, what is necessary to
be done, and expect, with your assistance
to do it."
The Brown element says that this Is only
an evidence of the preparations the Goebel-
ties are making for the unfair use of their
election machinery in November Honest
election leagues are being formed in MANY
or the counties, and the opposition to Goe-
bel insists that no effort will be spared to
prevent the strangulation of the voters of
the state under the Goebel election law.

LOUISVILLE, KY, October H. 1899.
The sensational political incident Of the
past week in Kentucky was the publca-
ton of a letter from eX-Secretary Of the
Treasury John G. Carlisle charging Goebel
with political treachery in 1896. and offer
ing proof a letter from Goebel written
to Mr.. Carlisle in May, 1895. The cores
pOndence proves conclusively that Goebel
was against free silver until the state con-
VentiOn at Lexington in 1896. Following
this development and the rather lame eff
fort Mr.. GOebel made to answer the
charge, State Senator BrOnston of LeXing-
ton, one of the most able and influential
democratic leaders in the state, in a public
speech announced that he could not sup
port Goebel longer without sacrificing his
honor and stating that he (Bronston) would
lend all the aid he could to Gov. Brown.
Senator Bronston had opposed Mr.. Goebel
in the state convention in June, but had
announced Immediately after the nominal
ton was made that he intended supporting
the nominee, and would take the stump.
The Carlisle letter proved to him. so Sena
tor Bronston asserts. that GOebels duplicity
had been so astounding as to make it i'm
possible for silver democrats to longer hest
tate about deserving the Music Hail. can
