to run; yet complaints of shortage
and delays are constant, while In
the West the crops are taxing the
roads to their utmost.
Capt. Ed Wilson, a popular con-
ductor on the Henderson division of
the l.. & N, railroad, and Miss Josie
Mccormick, of Elkton, will be mar
ried on Oct. % at 4 :35 d. m. They
will leave at once for a bridal trip
through the West.
]. w. Throckmorton, a conductor
on the Cincinnati division of the l..
4 N, and who is q candidate for
Commissioners of Agriculture on the
Republican ticket, was here this
week mixing with the voters. He is
a very pleasant gentleman and
makes a good impression on those
he meets, and his conversation and
acts indicate that he is man the
people could trust i'm n position of
honor, and we hope 10 see him
elected.
A special train for tho benefit of
w. j. Bryan was run from Hopkins
vile TO Nortonville last Monday.
Candidate Goebel continues TO
abuse the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad Company, and the voters
who believe in justice in all matters
continue to increase and will show
their indignation by voting against
him.
We were informed lately by one
who makes a study of the situation,
that railroad men, who once had a
desire to support Goebel, are now
fearing that his election would mean
n war on other roads besides the l..
& N, and they will now fight him.
Agents Woodbridge and Etheridge
were both called away to- attend
court this week at Henderson.
Master OF Trains, DEWEY attended
court this week.
Operator cambridge was called to
Sebree n few nights this week.
Hey Lane is now switchman In
the darlington yard. IL is generally
conceded that there are few better
railroad men than he is.
Conductor Moody aud fiagman
McCulley were called away from
their part of duty TO attend court
last Monday at Henderson.
While at Henderson last Tuesday
we were told by one who says he
heard him speak, that Goebel I'm a
speech made in 1899 made the re-
mark that one dollar per day was
enough for any working man, and
yet he claims to be friend to tho
working men.
The Lexington Leader in a late is
sue contained this article:
Livingston, KY, Oct. 8, 80.
Editor eader:-Senator Goebel
spoke at London on the 4th to a
good sized crowd, but at least two
thirds Of them wore Taylor buttons
on the lapels OF their coats, which
goes to show that the crowd was
there more for curiosity TO see Goe-
bel than anything else. AS Mr..
Goebel was at the l.. 4 N. depot
waiting for the train To take him to
Pineville, where he speaks today,
the Democratic Committee who had
him i'm charge took special efforts to
introduce as many miners from
Pittsburgh, Ky.) TO him as they
could. These miners are now on a
strike for an Increase of 10 per cent
in their wages.
Mr.. Goebel jollied everybody as
best he could in his snappish and
manner against corpora
tions, never referring to his own
platform which, should the fifth
plank of il be placed on the statutes
of this State and enforced, would
prohibit the labor organizations of
this State from making any contract
with their employer, whatever, and
labor would be compelled and forced
by the strong arm of the law Estate
troops IL necessary to submit to
whatever their employer saw flt to
pay them. The Brotherhood of I.o-
Engineers, The Order
of Railway Conductors, United Mine
Workers and in fact all other organ
izations would be forced to abandon
all of their agreements with their
and take the employers
price. Think OF this and read the
fifth plank of the Louisville Music
Hall Democratic platform, which
reads rs follows:
1--WE believe the law I'm Kentucky,
known as the antitrust law, should
be so amended as to make unlawful
any arrangement or contract of cor
porations of individuals whereby In
carrying ON any business the prices
charged are to be thereby fixed,
or regulated. We believe
the law should be further amended
so as to provide that all contracts
and agreements made by c0mbina-
tions, generally known as trusts, in
any kind of business, with the view
to fix or regulate prices, should be
void and not enforceable as to such
trust or combination. We especially
demand that all trust-cOntrOlled ar
ticles be placed on the free iist.n
Labor organizations in this State
have spent a large amount OF their
hard earned cash and time to build
up and maintain an organization
among their fellow workmen in the
different branches of the laborers'
duties, and now when they have
gotten them on footing where they
are beneficial TO them they are asked
to elect a man of GOebel's make up
and let him destroy all their priyf-
leges and rights. Governor Goebel
could rest easy in the Governors
chair, drawing nice fat salary with
no fear of his wages being reduced,
and at the end Of his term as Gov
ernor he could say to corporations:
''See what / have done for you; i
have placed the laborer in such a
position that he will not disturb
your profits" With the great rail-
road and other corporations in this
State assured of no more labor or
and full power to fix
wages, they could reduce freight
rates and other charges, but IL
would i'm the end be at the expense
of the working mems wages.
Read the fourth plank of the Re-
publican platform, made at Lexing-
ton on July 18th, which reads as
follows:
"We pledge the Republican party
Of Kentucky TO the enactment of ali
such laws as may be necessary TO
