BRYAN AND KENTUCKY.
Twenty Days Tour to Begin at Lexington
October 3.

Special to The Post.
Lexington, Ky, Sept 4.-Ex-United
States Senator ]. c. Blackburn yester-
day received four-page letter from Will
lam Jennings Bryan, and last night left for
Louisville, where he will confer with the
other members of the Democratic State
campaign committee regarding Mr.. Bry-
ans tour of Kentucky. Blackburn is
chairman of the campaign committee, and,
although the plans desired by Mr.. Bryan
were divulged by him. he would not make
known the full contents of the letter
1t is said Mr.. Bryan is quite anxious to
have GOebel ignore Henry WattersOn's
paper, the Courier-Journal, because Wat
terson has announced his intention of sup
porting Goebel and fighting Bryan. He
warns Goebel not to support the local
Louisville ticket of the HaIdemans. The
Haldemans own the Courier-JournaI and
control its editorial policy. Goebel is sore
ly in need Of a paper of general circula-
tion TO champion his cause, and his an
tagonism of the Courier-Journal would
leave him without a medium through
which TO reach the people. Goebel has re-
manned silent as to his connection with
the paper. 1t may have been due to the
wishes of Mr.. Bryan that Goebel when
" get d iSCeHl Speech DtIOfe the
people, purchased copies Of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, McLean's paper, instead OF U.s.
ing the Louisville paper
This advice from Bryan further compli-
Gates matters. IL pleases Blackburn, and
in some degree tempers the feeling of the
anti-GOebel silver element, but il destroys
the love Of the sound money element for
Goeoel.
In his letter Mr.. Bryan states that he
will spend twenty days in Kentucky, and
that il is his desire 70 speak in as many
counties as possible. This plan has about
been completed, although the matter mas
not as yet been laid before the eommit-
tee. IL is for Mr.. Bryan 10 begin his
tour the lst of October He will SPEAK
at Lexington on Monday, October 9, and
Immediately leave on his special train on
a tour so arranged that he can speak
twice DAY and make each speech In a
different county. where IL is possible.
The plan for electiag Goebel has about
developed. Ii is to organize Goebel clubs
among the negroes, which is ar easy
matter 10 DO because OF the stories which
have beer well circulated as to the friend
illness Of Attorney General TayIor. the
Republican nominee, TO the separate
coach law and the well-known Oopcgi-
tion of William GOebel 10 the law. Goe-
bells friends declare the negroes are go
ing 10 vote for Goebei In great numbers
but this is ridicuied by the Republicans.
