GoebeI's Vile Article.

In that contest Sandford was a de- voted friend to Jo Blackburn. Goebel was a supporter of Governor Bucknerz and in order to break Sandford's in fiuence and destroy him. he wrote and published about Sandford, under the eyes of Sandford's wife, children, friends and neighbors, an article so vile, so infamous, so brutal. so vulgar. that no gentleman would dare to read t in the presence of a lady.
 Now. my friends, honest men, gentle men, for that sums it all up, if the dark tragedy that followed had never occurred: if John Sandford like a craven eur. had never resented that assault; f il had stopped there, could you find il in your hearts as Ken tuckians to record your vote for a man who lives on a plane so low, so base. so degraded that even in the quiet of his office in cold blood, could sit down and write such an infamous arti- ele? But it didn't stop there Goebel knew it wouldn't stop there, and he didn't want it to stop there. The edi- tor to whom the article was given to publish told MT. Goebel that it would bring on trouble, and Goebel told him then that teat was just what he was looking for. It was published,
 He knew that John Sandford would be compelled to resent it. and it was written for the purpose of forcing him to a conflict. He knew that Sandford had been a brave Confederate soldier: he knew that he was a proud man and could not fa5t under such an infamous attack, and when he wrote it he com mitted in his heart murder, foul and brutal. He knew that Sandford must resent it, s0 he armed himself to the teeth, and with his pistol where he eGdld grasp it readily he started to- ward Sandf0fd's S bank. He was accosted by Sandford, who asked him if he wrote that article. He answered: sf Cd. ST. =aI Immediately both men drew their pistols, and a moment later Sandford saY dead on the streets Of Govington
 He was acquitted on the testimony of one witness. who sWOre that Sand ford fired I st although he admitted on cross examination that only a few hours later he had told several men that he didn't know who fired first There was never an examination by q trial jury. The grand jury failed to indict him. and it has been openly charged, and never denied, that bend ing the examination members of that grand jury were daily in MT. GoebeI' $ office consulting with him.
 When this sad chapter opened John Sandford was a loved and respected citizen of Covington. He had a happy home q loving wife interesting chiI- dren played about their ffreside. The chapter closes. John Sandfefd, goaded and driven to his death, sleeps the sleep that knows no waking. His happy home is destroyed, his children are scattered here and there where chance may find place, his wife, breeding long over her wrongs, is today an in mate of & madhouse, while Goebel is running for governor, demanding hon. est Democratic votes No wonder that on every hand we hear the voices of Christian men, and Christian women, teo crying out: 70 God. can such things be in this Christian land? Has heaven no ayenging bolt to close this direful tragedy and end Kentucky s shame2 2n

How Blackburn Felt.

Didn't Senator Black kburn know that this was murder, foul and unnatural, when standing by the grave of John Sandford he said: "I loved him. hope God shall spare me, and I shall make it my life's mission to avenge him by bHFying his slayer in tha depths of merited public eXecrati0n 2e
 But we have it from the published speech of one of Blaekburn's leaders in the fierce fight for the senate that he virtually bought Goebe's support by trading on his supposed influence with the widow of that murdered friend. and this very fall he has been hippodroming Kentucky with Goebel telling the people that there is no stair on either his public or private life and that he is in every way worthy of their support.
 Ii must be that in the association of this Music hall nominee that manhood withers and dies, for not since the hideous and misshapen Richard III woed and won the widow of the man he had foully murdered as she return ed from the funeral ser''ices, has there been so fragrant betrayal of the mem- ofy of the dead.
 But, thou shalt not lie, and thou shalt nor steal. When tbA race for the office of governor opened in Kentucky the prevailing conditions induced me to believe that if Captain Stone of Lyon county, was made the nominee of the Democratic party, all factions of the party could be brought together and Kentucky rescued from Republi- can administration. I longed to see that end attained, and therefore be- came supporter of Captain Stone
 When the convention assembled in Louisville I went there to see if could assist In bringing about his nomna- tlon. Imagine my surprise when Cap tain Stone told me that he had made combination with Goebel. "To what effect and to what extent?" I asked He said: Our agreement is this Wherever there is a contest between a Hardin delegation and a Goebel dele gatlon the Hardin delegation is to be put out and the Goebel delegation put in; wherever there is a contest be- tween the Stone delegation and the Hardin delegation, the Hardin delega- tIon is to go out and the Stone delega- ton ton IS to go in. What" I said without reference to the testimony. or evidence, CT meritse' He said Yes: that is cur agreement"
 An Outrage Upset.
 l went ta work at once to get Cap tan stone to withdraw from such an outrageous combination and had the pleasure of seeing him get into a car riage on Thursday night at midnight to go and notify Mr Goebel that their contract was at an end Captain Stone. in company with his friends. then agreed on program, and we thought we could see the way clear to his n0n1- ination without outraging anyb or doing violence to the peoplS mrnA,, county.

Goebel's Gambling Fib.

But listen now. my friends; listen, you who have some finger 5ng ray of be- lief in this mans integrity He said he eXerted himself to put that law on the statute books. What must you think of him when you learn the truth of history. that when that law was en- acted and placed on the statute books Goebel was not member of the Ken lucky legislature, was not in Frank fort. and no man ever heard his name mentioned in connection with that bill, and, while 1t is true that I was not in Frankfort the day the bill was passed, was member of the legislature that enacted it. and was known to be one of it's supporters.

Consequently when the batch OF en-

published. Wagher's name led all the
rest But at this point the gencral'e
modesty asserted itself. and the ownef
OF the cognomen thus prominently en-
ployed took steps to set himself
straight. He called upon Mr. Penne-

to see the letter OF endorsement that
he appeared to have sent to the candi-
