The break between MIR. Mckinney ana

Notwithstanding his public proiestalIonS

One Of the results Of Mr.. Mcklniey's sus-

not be allowed to issue an important or

is to be scrutinized carefully and every
act OF the w.r department viii be Mr..
McKinlcys personal act.
The inventions OF Americans have done
more to make this country prosperous
than republican legislation has done, not
withstanding prepostcrous claims, and
the inventive genius Of Americans was
never more actively employed than at
this time. This is proven by the heavy
increase in the receipts Of the |. :. pat

year ago, and by the fact that the week :

kentnckians who have been to Wash

Mr.. il. NJ. Lunham said: civilian
Goebcl will be elected governor OF Ken-
lucky without a doubt. He is Il man of
the people and stands for the public
against corporations, trusts and monopo-

As the democratic state convention Of
Ohio will not convene for some weeks,
there is plenty Of time TO talk about prob

freely taken advantage Of wherever Il few
democrats gather to discuss politics.
There are Il number Of mel PIT forward
as iavottcs, including kilbourne, Rice.
aud Haskell, but the man whose name
has been oitcnest mentioned in cDnnec-

two or three days, is John K. Mclean,
