THE WORST SPEECH THAT EVER HAP.

son aggregation was half an hour or so
late but the Negro band and the Ne .
gro crowd, together with a few whites,
waited patiently at the depot till its ar
rival and then the WORTHLESS we're es-
corted 10 the stand In the court house
yard, where possibly 500 people, for
the most part colored, some white re-
publicans and a number of curious
democrats, had gathered to see the
show. Mr. =. NJ. McRoberts intro
duced Taylor, who spoke for over an
hour and made the most nonsensical.
idiotic and puerile speech ever deliver
ed by any one, not tit subject for a
feeble minded institute. Looking like
monkey and acting like one. he
lighted into the election law, the Lou
isville convention and the Chinn
school book bill, saying of the latter
that the name Chinn ought TO kill IL II
nothing else did. He was very sweet
on the Brownies. but so few OF them
were present that he failed TO get a
response. OF the l.. & N. aud corpor-
ations In general. he wac highly COM
plimentary and made MANY statements
which were absolutely without the
semblance OF truth. He went for the
last democratic administration and
eulogized Bradley's, and claimed that
when the democrats went out OF power
they lett not cent In the treasury,
which now had money to burn. He apol.
ogized for making this last statement as
he was afraid u the Goebelites found
out there was money on hand they would
redouble their efforts. Considering
that ladies were present, some OF his
anecdotes were decidedly out OF taste.
but in full keeping with speech that
vas thoroughly disgusting from start
70 finish.
Though the tax rate has been raised
10 cents on the 800 since the repu bli-
cans went into power. Taylor persisted
In saying II was orly 42ic. Was be
honestly mistaken or simply lying?
They say" said Taylor, "that the
Courier Journal sold out to Hanna in
1896. That may or may not be true
but its support Of the democratic ticket
now, looks nightly like it has sold out
again in order TO get a hand In the
so-called cheap books for the children
Of Kentucky And then his mongrel
audience on the cue from the ''leaders"
cheered Justify.
The Hon. a. f. Wilson, OF Louis
Vile. spoke next and as he Is of more
gentle birth and breeding, his speech
was a fair one from his standpoint.
How he can monkey in such crowd,
however, is a wonder and shows his
eternal longing for the Office be never
gets. After he had finished, the bands
began to play, the black line of march
ers formed, the speakers were escorted
back TO their train and all was over ex-
cept a bad taste In the mouths of the
republicans, who had expected better
things. and a sort OF iubilation in every
democratic heart, that the blowout bad
proved so utter and so dismal failure.
The great hippodrome has come and
gone and the RAIDS are now kicking
them selves over what "A failure il was.
But for democrats and Negroes. Tay.
lor aud his crowd would have had
precious few 10 hear them. IL was the
worst effort we ever knew aud Gen.
Taylor is the most disgusting speaker
as well As the most uncouth looking
creature who was ever honored for a
high office, even by republicans. His
nickname "Hogiaw" corresponded full
ly with his speech, for IL was worse
than hog wash.
After the industrious advertising
given the blowout, the crowd was ev-
en- disappointing to democrats. There
were very few white republicans and
Negroes from the country, the crowd
being largely made up of Macksvilans
and other suburban places.
Prof. CHEESEMAN'S band accompanied
the party and made good music. A
majority of the handsome young fell
lows are democrats, who were out dor
the fun and money there is in II. They
told us Taylor got frost at most of the
mountain towns.
The lying correspondent OF the Lou
isville Commercial says that 1900 TO
5000 people greeted Taylor at Stan
ford, when 500 is big estimate.
The Bradley Worthington special is
due this afternoon and those who have
enough intellect TO appreciate the diff
ference will see how sharply the line
between a gentleman and lackass is
drawn, when they compare the efforts
OF Gov Bradley and the man with the
h0gjaw.
No INSPECTORS The court of ap-
peals oyerruled Judge Hodges opinion
granting the Brownies the right of an
Inspector at the polls.
