DEMOCRACY'S DAY AT BROD-
HEAD.


A crowd estimated at from 200 to 1000
partook OF the barbecued meats and
other good things, which we're in
abundance, and heard splendid speech
es by Keutucky's next governor and
Hoo. James ID. Black, who will be gov
ernor four years hence. Both speakers
were 10 good form aud their efforts
were enjoyed from start TO finish. Judge
II. g. Williams and Attorney Il L
Brown were masters Of ceremonies and
their talks introducing the distinguish
ed gentlemen were highly compliment

ing Senator Goebel and Mr. Black ar
rived the platform was crowded with
mer, women and children, anxious to
see the much prosecuted and abused
man. After an excellent dinner at the
Firth Hotel the above gentlemen drove
to the fair grounds where they we're
greeted with prolonged applause. A
stand had been erected In front Of the
amphitheatre aud it was from this they
spoke. The Mt. Vernon band, assisted
by several members of the stanford
band, furnished good music.
Senator Goebel's speech was along
the lines Of those delivered elsewhere,
but gentleman who has heard him a
dozen times told me that it was the best
one yet. He is holding up wonderfully
well under his hard work and looks
every inch a winner. Mr.. Black s speech
was the subject OF much favorable
comment. After the speaking the two
gentlemen we're driven to the Albright
Hotel, where hundreds of people called
on them. A splendid supper was spread,
after which the Senator and Mr.. Black
acco npanied by the band and large
number OF Brodhead, Mt. Vernon and
J other gentlemen, went TO Livingston
where they spoke that night. Another
, large and enthusiastic crowd greeted
. them and the gentlemen again die
