WEARY OFLIFE
IN PARLIAMENT.

Inasmueh as Il il not from a matter Of
taste, but merely from a strict sense Of
duty. that the Duke OF Devonshire has
played q role in the political life of his
country, IL Is not altogether surprising
that now. at the age of sixty-six. hs
should feel an inclination TO retire and
devote himself to more congenial pas
times than taking part in Cabinet squab-
bles and in dTeary Parliamentary de-
bates Parliamentary life has always
bored him. Frequently in making speech
be stops in the middle of a sentence 10

the front bench. TO which he is en-
titled BY reason Of his rank as a Cabi-
net Minister, Is with his hat damned
down on his nose, his eyes shut. often
fast asleep. his hands plunged into his
trousers pockets. ara his legs stretched
out In front of him as far as they viii
90.
He has sat thus in Parliament for forty
two years. II is just two-score years ago
since he moved an amendment TO the
address which overthrow an administra-
ton, and IL is close upon quarter or a
century since he was chosen 10 lead the
Liberal Party in the House of Commons.
1t was owing 20 his position as leader
OF the Liberal Party that the Queen on
one occasion urged him TO accept the Pre-
miership. but ne had the rare good sense.
and likewise the ehivalry, 10 decline, on
the ground that it was useless 10 dream
of any Liberal statesman accepting the re-
sponsibilty or the honor Of forming a
Cabinet and Of assuming the Premiership
as long as Mr.. Gladstone remained In
Parliamentary life.
On two occasions the Duke became so
disguised with Parliament that he re-
solved TO withdraw from public life, and
* was only the strong remonstrances
of old John Bright and Of the present
Duchess of Devonshire lat that time
Duchess Of Manchester who both urged
him that he had duty to his country 10
fulfill which led him TO reconsider MS

The Csvendishes, of which noble house
he is the chief, have always been noted
for their silence. Henry Cavendish, the
eminent chemist Is on record as having
uttered fewer words in the course of his
long life of four score years than any
man, not even excepting the monks Of
La Trsppe. The present Duke runs him
close, and | doubt If there is any man
in the House OF Commons who has chat
ted less with his fellow-legislators in
Parliament than tile Duke. II he speaks
little, he laughs less. A smile rarely
lights up his rather heavy face. When
he laughs il is with sort OF gasp. and
he conveys the impression Of restraining
himself rather suddenly
No man in England is more Unpunctual
He is always late for his appointments
no matter whether it is a Cabinet meet
ing or a dinner party, and while in the
House of Commons he used frequently
10 be referred 10 as the late Marquis Of
Harrington" He is somewhat careless
In his appearance, and favors the get-up
of a country squire, wearing a dark-col-
ored coat with deep pockets in the sides
instead of in the tails
There is a certain amount Of analogy
between himself and the late Charles
Stewart Parnell. both in their manners
and in their reserve of speech. as well
as in their Unborn instinct for the gov-
eminent of their fellOw-creatures. for
with all his odd manners, the Duke exer-
cises an immense influence over his fell
low-men. This is due to his ingrained
disinteTestedness. his logged veracity,
his sound common sense, his courage, his
devotion 10 sport. and, above all TO the
universal knowledge that his word is as
good as his bond. 1t was said by the
great Dr. tombstone OF the first Duke of
DeVonshire that IF, for instance. he had
promised you an acorn, and none had
grown IN that year in his woods. he
would not have been contented with tina,
excuse; he would have sent to Denmark

Muhlenburg instructed for Pratt. Han
cock did not instruct but the delegates
are said to favor Stone. Taylor now
claims to have 1901 votes OF the e4s
necessary to nominate, but Stones
friends say he has only 50si. They
claim 247i for Stone and Ill for Pratt
and say that there are lss contested
votes, l24 uninstructed and conventions

Taylor out won't work. He is dead sure
OF the nomination on the first ballot

SENATOR WIN. GoEBEL, who has
been named to lead us to victory aItcr
the most notable fight In the history o
Kentucky democracy, during which he
displayed a superiority OF leadership
and will power unequalled almost here
tofore, is in the prime of that vigorous
manhood which comes only to men who
have 10 carve out their own destiny
unaided by rich and influential rela-
tiyes. Born In Pennsylvania some 40
years ago. his parents brought him to
Kentucky when he was small boy
and settled in Covington. BY his own
energies he succeeded in acquiring
good education and Gov. Stephenson,
observing his effort to make something
of himself, took him in his law office.
He studied hard aud advanced rapidly
and in a few years became the partner
of his benefactor, who upon his death
left his large estate without bond In
trust to MIR. Goebel, who still holds 1t.
Afterwards he was the law partner OF
'
John G. Carlisle, who recognized his
great ability. His practice amounts to
s25, 200 year and his fortune is esti-
mated all the way from quarter TO
half q million, every cent of which he
made himself. For twelve years he
has been State Senator and Is now
hold over. His record as a legislator
is well-known and his fight against the
encroachment of corporate power APP
preciated by the people, whose inter-
ests he always serves. He was a men,
Der of the constitutional convention
and in that body likewise made record
for clearness of thought, superior wis
dom and remarkable foresight. He Is
the rainiest man in Kentucky to-day
aud standing on the platform that he
himself has made, he will go forth to
battle for it with an earnestness and
determination that will know no such
word as defeat. His enemies fear but
admire him and his friends stick closer
than brothers. he will gain in
strength daily till the election and
then be triumphantly elected by the
old-time majority. Having contributed
In an humble way to his nomination we
shall now bend every energy and use
every honorable means to the end that
Kentucky may be redeemed and lifted
forever from republican thralldom.

"IT's all lie of the Post and Dis
patch that Goebel broke his compact
with Stone," said q gentleman who was
on the inside of matters. "They only
agreed to combine In the fight for the
Organization and then each was TO fight
his own battle. In proof OF this Goe-
bells leaders demanded that the agree
ment between the two, which was
signed by both Stone and Goebel and
which was in Stones possession, be
given TO the public, but IT wasn't done.
Coebel acted fairly throughout. His
were the most decent OF the delegates.
IL was some Of the following OF the
other candidates who acted the hood
lums and disgraced the party. Goebel
has demonstrated his fitness as a leader
OF men and will be elected by rousing
majority"

WHEN Is months or more ago the
INTERIOR JOURNAL suggested Judge
II. } Breckenridge for attorney gener'
al, some OF his smart aleck friends said
we did so to try to keep him out OF the
Congressional race, an assertion as
idiotic as IL was untrue. We hadn't
consulted the Judge In the matter and
when we saw him later, he thanked us
for the complimentary mention OF him
and said that while he would esteem IL
the browning honor Of his life to be at
torney general OF Kentucky, IL took
money aud time to make races and that
he had none OF the former and but lit
tie of the latter to spare. We persist
ed, however, and he finally decided TO
enter the race. Then he was taken
SICK almost unto death and when after
a long time he recovered, his wife, worn
out with watching. also fell victim to
disease. She too was i'll long time,
leaving the Judge but a limited time
for a canvass. AT the few places be
spoke he made friends of all who heard
him and his ability and fitness being
everywhere recognized. he went to the
practical winner, although

been canvassing for the nomination

men runneth not TO the contrary. In

is to be congratulated

NOT THE SLIGHTEST DOUBT.

The democratic State convention, In
its wisdom, has selected Senator Will
liam Goebel as the nominee OF areunit-
ed party, and in doing so has put the
leadership in the hands OF man whom
every democrat in the State can cheer
fully and ardently support. Senator
Goebel is not an experiment. He is
one OF the best known public men in
the State aud his achievements and
viewsiare familiar to every Kentuck-
ian who takes an interest in public al
fairs. That he will be elected there Is
not the slightest doubt In the world,
ana it is equally certain that he will
make a firm, fearless and upright ex-
