Kelly's Clock.

The question is being asked so
often, What is the matter with M.
d. Kelly's time on top of his store
house," 1t has not been running
lately. Mr.. Kelly wishes to state
that after sixteen years of constant
use, he concluded to overhaulit and
put in new shafting, connecting,the
main clock In,his show window with
the machinery, or dials, on top of
his store; also to make an important
improvement in the main clock in
his show window, which he is now
at work on. 1t will be the addition
of an 1S-inch dial, that will plainly
show the correct time on his show
window. The big clock will be in
splendid condition when Mr.. Kelly
gets through with it, which will be
in few days, and will then COM
mence on another 10 years run.

DEMPSEY'S SPEECH.
In Accepting the Democratic Nom
ination For Railroad
commissioner.
ir. Dempsey said in part:

+, MI. DSinpSS| sdlu III put.
"Gentlemen of the convention, tc
you and to the noble constituency
whom you represent here, with un-
covered head, | return my warm,
heartfelt thanks.
Three years and ten months
ago representatives of the Democ-
racy of this Railroad Commission
district assembled in the beautiful
and hospitable city of Owensboro
for the purpose of nominating a
candidate for the office of Railroad
Commissioner. That convention
was remarkable and historical.
After protracted, weary and bit
ter struggle, amid storm and con-
fusion, platform was adopted de-
manding the free and unlimited
coinage of both silver and gold at
the ratio of 10 to l, without waiting
for the aid or consent of any other
nation. l had the distinguished
honor to receive the nomination and
to be placed upon that platform.
The next year the Democrats of the
Second Congressional district did
me the honor to send me as a del
egate to the National Democratic
Convention. which assembled in
Chicago.
at was my happy privilege to
have a vote and to cast that vote
for the Chicago platform, the great
est declaration of the grandest
principles ever promulgated by any
political convention that ever as
sembled on earth. 1t was also my
privilege and high pleasure to cast
my vote for that standard bearer of
the Democracy of the Uuited States,
for that Christian gentleman, pure
in heart as when a babe in his |
mother $ arms, true to his cOnvic- |
tions as the magnet to the pole,
brave as a martyred saint,
physically courageous as a lion,
imbued with a divine love for the |
great, suffering, toiling masses of
the people, and by an all-wise God
endowed with superhuman intelli-
gence, William J. Bryan.
"Since his sun set IN 1896 only to
rise again with redoubled brilliancy
and power in 1900, have had the
pleasure of introducing this most
remarkable genius and grandest
character of modern times to an
audience of 10000 souls assembled
in the bosom of the little city where
l was born and reared.
Again, at the hands of the noble
Democracy of the thirty-nine coun-
ties comprising the First Railroad
Commission district, and this time
by acclamation, have been nomi-
mated for the office of Railroad Com
To have received this
once, from so noble and
lofty a people, is an honor OF which
any man living should be proud. l
have received it twice and this fills
the need of my ambition. My
know not how to thank
you. My heart is tilledto overflow
ing with gratitude but | cannot
command language that wouldfully
express my feelings. The nomina-
ton you have given me assures my
election. l will carry your banner
to victory, and then will endeavor
to discharge the duties | will owe
to you and the whole people Of the
entire State with such fidelity and II
with such absolute fairness. impair
tiality and justice alike to the peo-
pie and to the railroad companies,
that my record will attest my graft
tude. Once more, gentlemen, /
thank you"
