be decided by a nose length either
way.
In one OF his after diner speeches
last week, Col. Bryan said: THE dem
ocratic party was never more harmon
ious; and its harmony can only be dis
turbed by admitting within the fold
those who are at variance with It's prin-
ciples aud aspirations. The democratic
platform OF 1900 will be written by those
who stood upon the platform OF 1885, not
by those who tried to overthrow the
democratic party in that campaign.
The failure which attended those who
organized che gold party and wrote the
Indianapolis platform ought to restrain
them from profrering their service as
platform makers for some years to
come -

JOHN ID. WHITE contributes letter
to the Cincinnati Commercially Tribune,
In which he recommends Hon. John
Bennett, q Madison, for the republican
nomination for governor and lauds him
most lavishly. He says the accidents
of 1895 will not be repeated in 1899 and
II Kentucky will prove herself repub-
lican State she must do so on principle
and not through political boss and the
fuss and feathers of the pie brigade.
These must take a rear position in the
ranks, with sensible view OF the
gravity of the situation and throw the
entire burden Of nominating a strong
aud suitable State ticket and railroad
upon the bone and sinew
'f the party. Ia that event John n.
links he will be nominated for rail-
'oad commissioner, but under the pres
mt arrangement he has no more show
han short tail bull in fly time.

THE whole OF Gen. Hardin's Shelby
vile speech was in answer to Capt.
Stones Winchester speech and he at
tempted to prove by the Congressional
Record that Capt. Stone did upon two
occasions, on Eel. 5, 1895, vote for the
Springer bill TO issue gold bonds. and
when it was defeated by Bryan, Bland
and Bailey, and joint resolution fol 70
lowed on Feb. IL, 1895, to issue $50, 49,
275 OF gold bonds, voted again for this
resolution, which was also defeated.
He also denied emphatically the reports
and rumors in current circulation that
he ever, directly or indirectly, or by
inference, proposed or offered to aid
Mr.. Stone on any condition, either in
contest with 10 Blackburn, or at any
time with anyone else in such contest.
This brings the question to one of We
ractity between them and as Capt.
Stones whole lie is refutation OF the
charge that he will lie or permit any
one to say that he does, a sensational
response is expected.

w. p. WALTON.

SENATOR McCHoRD has doubtless
eceived a sufficient number Of votes TO
nominate him for railroad commission
err, which shows that he has a pretty
long head on him and can see as far
into a mill stone at least as the man
that picks IL. Four years ago when he
was defeated for the nomination, after
holding the office under appointment OF
Gov. Brown. he began to commune
with himself and to lay schemes for a
capture of the nomination this time.
Then it bethought him to run for the
Senate and then, il elected, to evolve
from his inner consciousness a bill
which might hamper the railroads
which opposed him, and at the same
time pander to the blind, unreasoning
opposition by the masses to railroad
corporations, which two-for-a-cent
lawyers and other small fry delight to
tell them, are greedy and rapacious ag-
gregations OF wealth, whose managers
ay awake at nights to hatch plans to
viscerate them. Senator McChord
was successful both in his race and in
passing a bill for the railroad commits
sion to fix maximum rates for railroads
and was further singularly fortunate In
having republican governor veto 1t.
The several other so-called candidates
were never in the race except Mr.. AL
exander, who was handicapped by the
reported support OF the L. Il ~, which
according to the ignorant and unthink-
NC stalks about at night like a roaring
lion seeking whom it may devour. The
result was easy to foretell. Mr.. McChord
has read his title clear and on Thurs
day next at Frankfort will be made his !
party's standard bearer. He is fully
worthy too OF the honor, being a man
of parts and an unflinching and an un-
compromising democrat and a party
man. His nomination is decided vic
tory for Senator Goebel and the con-
vention will doubtless endorse all the
measures that the Hopkinsville conven'
ion failed TO take cognizance OF.

The resignation of Gus Richardson
as deputy appellate clerk TO prosecute
his candidacy for State treasurer shows
much more confidence than wisdom. AS
Bob Ford seems to have cinch on the
nomination, Gus action is applicable
only on the assumption OF every candi-
date that he is the whole thing in a
race. The confidence of candidates in
their own success even when everybody
else can see that they do not stand a
ghost Of a chance hts a'ways puzzled
the uninitiated In the business of run
ming for office.

The teams all raised their averages ex-
cepting the Wheeling, Emigrants and
kissing Bugs, who fell slightly below
their work of last week but that is no
indication of a general slump in their
bowling ability. 1t was caused by the
absence of a few strong men who seem
to be getting careless and later on will
be wondering how 1t is that their team
is not in a more comfortable position.

The race became more interesting to
some of the>teams. Last week at this
