Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1899-07-14
Such Was The Louisville Posts
Alleged Report.
More Than a Dozen GOebel Men
Written Up as Boiters-AII
Hands Repudiate the
Interview,

State hunting for alleged boilers.
. This correspondent, Mr.. Irwin S.
Cobb, was here a week ago and
sent in a two column letter from
Hopkinsville, disappearing the
facts here in most outrageous
manner. This was not done igno-
rantly, for many Democrats gave
him a true statement of the little
disaffection existing in Hopkins
vile. Although he knew the con-
trary to be true, he accused a list
of ~ prominent Democrats of being
boilers, claiming that there were
hundreds of the same sort and that
the county would go Republican
by from 1900 to 100 majority. In
order that the public may under
stand the kind of lies the Post is
printing in these letters, we have
taken the pains to examine into the
Hopkinsville list, which is clipped
from the Post:
"In few minutes the following
list of Democrats with anti-GOebel
headings was compiled here in Hop
kinsville. All are citizens of this
place, and all are either gold or
silver Democrats. Nearly all are
outspoken against the boss, and
nearly all will either vote against
him or stay away from the polls.
A few while opposed to Goebel will
probably shut their eyes and vote
the ticket. The list is as follows:
E. M. Flack, J. x. Forbes, Bob
Green, J. B. Mckenzie, DR.. James
Rodman, Judge Winfrey, James
Moore, DR.. Frank Sites. George
Campbell, Charles f. Jarrett. Allen
Wallis, Allen Wallis, Jr., George
Graves, W. 7. Tandy, Gus Young,
John Young. J. c. Woodbridge, w. |
IS. Dawson, L. H. Mckee, F. L.
Wilkinson, Henry c. Richards, Ma
jor Terrell, John G. Ellis, S. E.
Trice, John B. Trice, Thomas NJ.
Jones, h. c. Hardwick, NJ. H. Tan
dy, J. S. Moore, J. O. Cooper,
Charles a. Thompson, Henry c.
Cant, Archie S. Cant, J. p. Braden,
Judge McCarroll, \. p. Crockett,
DR.. a. +. Bentley, DR.. II. L. Wood
ward, Prof. Edmund Harrison,
John Billiard, Ben Rawlins and
James Forbes.
Hundreds of others, as prominent
and almost as prominent, might be
named, but these men serve toshow
that the best interests and best
class of citizenship in this section
is arrayed on the side of decent
politics.
OF the ~ men named, 81 are gold
men and IL voted for Bryan. Of
the latter class Geo. Campbell,
Allen NJ. Wallis, ST., H. c. Rich
ards, J. O. Cooper, h. c. Hardwicll |
and J. B. Mckenzie repudiate the
alleged interview in toto. They !
did not see Cobb, nor authorize any ,
one to speak for them.
Mr.. Wallis. Mr.. Hardwick, Mr.. J
Richards and Mr.. Campbell were
indignant and are trying to find
out who published them as boilers. :
Mr.. W. S. Dawson, another silver
Democrat, is out of town and Cobb
,ould not have seen him.
Three or four others could not
De found yesterday. Jas. V. Forbes,
# Laytonsville, was the only one
# the silver Democrats seen who is
gainst Goebel, though one or two
theirs may not vote. Not one is
DING to vote for Taylor.
OF the gold Democrats, Prof
harrison, l.. H. Mckee, A. p.
rocket, and several others are
or Goebel straight out, and many
theirs of the list were seen and re-
udiated the interview, while not
themselves. Some said
ley might conclude to vote for
oebel and nearly all of them de-
AIRED that they would not vote for
'aylor. Among these are DR..
as. Rodman, John Billiard and
