KENTUcKY's PARTY SPLITS.
Endorsement Of Goebel Jeopardizes
organs Position.

Louisville. Ky, Aug g. The an
nouncement made by Mr.. Bryan yester-
day tina. he would speak for Goebel in
Kentucky, many politicians declare.
means the loss of the Kentucky delega-
ton at the National Convention for the
Nebraska man. The antiGoebel people
at their State convention will simply
erase the name Of Bryan from the re-
solution adopted at the Lexington con-
ference and insert that of John Young
Brown. The latter will be nominated
for governor and the Kentucky dele
CATION instructed for him for Presi-
dent with orders never to vote for Bry
an.
Judge Tarvin, candidate for vice
president. is willing to step aside for
Brown. Tarvin is from Goebel's own
town and his action is considered q
severe blow to the Goebel cause.

The reception accorded to
General Alger by the Detroit
friends who believe he is the victim
OF conspiracy" was also remark
able for the outspoken utterances of
Governor Pingree. The Governor
has of late been acting as the mouth
piece Of General Alger, and saying
what the latter thinks but refrains
from uttering. General Alger, for
instance, told the Detroiters, with the
fine self sbnee alton and unsel6shness
which have recently characterized
his attitude toward the Administrs-
ton that be "came home without
grievance" That was sentiment
inspired by his affected loyalty to
the President and his love for the
administration, which has used him
as q scapegoat. What Alger says
ont Of his own mouth, however,
means nothing. Through Pingree he
made quite a different declaration.
1.-THE people of Michigan" said the
Governor, in his most impressive
manner, twill remember the indig
nitv to which the State has been sub
jscted. They will in time despise
the official, no matter how exalted
his station, who, to save himself,
bows and truckles to newspa
pers, or money, or influence, or
power in any form" There spoke
the real Alger filed with resentment
at his election from the Cabinet
The people of Michigan will "dis
pise" Mckinley for saving himself at
the expense OF his former Secretary
of War What q blessing Pingree
must prove to his Alger The words
of scorn and defiance which for good
reason he dares not utter himself,
can be spoken by the Governor, who
owes no allegiance to the Admins
,tration. There is not public man
in the United States who is so we'll
equipped to play q dual role as Gen
eral Alger. He can use his own
mouth to utter professions of regard
for his exalted friend, the President.
Through Pingree's receptive and
agile mouth he can enathematize
Mr.. Mckinley and hold him up to
contempt. General Alger will find
Governor Pingree an invaluable
medium for expressing his views of
those who have relegated him to the
dullness OF provincial existence at
Detroit, after allowing him to taste
the joys Of official power at Wash
ington.

Observation-Disclosures 10 1895.
South Against War.

The N. Y. Herald publishes the
following dispatch from Washington;
In accordance with the new policy
insugurated by Secretary Root, to
expedite the departure Of reinforce
ments for the Philippines, orders
we're telegraphed to recruiting Off
GERS by Colonel Thomas Ward,
Assistant Adjutsnt- General. direct
ing them to complete the enlistment
OF men for the new volunteer regi-
mepts by the end of the present
lsr~
..obably because Of the-sentimelt
existing in the South against the war
in the Philippines, the War Depart
ment has found that it will be impos-
sible to fill the two regiments that
are being organized at Fort McPher-
son, Ca, and Fort Sam Houston,
Texas, with Southern recruits. The
recruiting officers at Fort Mcpherson
hsye succeeded in enlisting 635 men,
while those at Fort Sam Houston
have obtained but $40 men. Orders
will, therefore, be issued directing
that Northern and Western men be
drafted into these regiments until
the complement is obtained. The
Department has not obtained more
satisfactory reason for the unwilling
ness of Southerners to enter the army
than the sentiment which appears to
exist against continuing the struggle
to suppress the revolt in the Philip
pines.
The new volunteer regiments will
be carefully drilled at their present
camps, and will, Department officials
say, be ready to commence the jour
ney to Manila by September l
Quartermsster General Luddington
told me that the transports Sherman
and Grant would be at San Francisco
the latter part Of the month and will
be able to accommodate two of the
regiments. Other ships will be at
San Francisco early in September.
The Logan and Thomas, which are
being converted into modern troop
ships ct New York and Philadelphls,
will be completed as rapidly as posi-
BILE, and will be ready in time to con-
vey two of the volunteer regiments
to the Philippines. By the early part
Of November all the reinforcements
now under orders to join General
Otis will, it is stated at the Depart
ment, have reached their destination
and he will have $4,000 men under
his command to engage in the fall
campaign.
OF the $4,000 men required for the
20 regiments now being organized in
this country, Colonel Ward said to-
day that 1882 have been enlisted,
leaving 2,75S yet to be mustered into
service. As enlistments have been
made in the past st the rate of $40
per dsy, no doubt is expressed that
the Departments orders directing
that the regiments be filed by the
end of the week will be complied
with. The Twenty-seventh and
Thirty-first Regiments now have
more men than they are allowed by
the presidents orders, but overen-
listments were permitted in order
that they might work out some of the
undesirable men who have entered
the service.
