ly to afford our readers amusement, fo'
even the reporters knew they were only
trying to outlie each other, we append
these extracts from their reports:
The Commercial said:
"SenatOr Goebel's crowd out on
Main street. while large one, was
composed largely of Republicans and
Brown men. attracted merely by idle
curiosity. Rev. Sweeney's crowd, OH
the other hand, although the eide show
was in the courtyard below, was i'll the
neighborhood of 600 or 700"
"Mr Goebel failed to hold the crowd
which, but for the addition Of those
who came from the speaking up stairs
would have dwindled TO pitiable pro.
portions"
Let us close with the Dispatch:
Hundreds of Republicans. who, on
failing to gain admission, to the Repub-
lican speaking, cOntented themselves
by standing off at distance, viewing
the small crowd. who through idle curl
Osity were listening to Mr.. Goebel."
"At the conclusion of Major Bur.
name's address he was besieged with
the hearty commentator Of the large
crowd who gathered around him aud
then filed ont OF the house to swell the
GOebel crowd which had now dwindled
to less than 800. The efforts of the
GOebel leaders to magnify the crowd
who heard him was painful, to say the
least"
Lord. have mercy on these Liars! Nc
man who saw that crowd here Monday
Oct. 2. ought ever again to open the
Dispatch. A paper that will propagate
such falsehoods is unworthy a place in
the U S. mails. AS photographer
Schlegel took two large pictures OF the
crowd, there cannot be any doubt that
Annanias has come back to life and is
deceiving the people who read the
above newspapers.

SOME LUOIcROUS LIES ABOUT THE PEoPLE
HERE ON COURT DAY-ReAD THEM.

LastEMOnday week, when Mr.. Goe-
bel spoke here to an audience estimated
all the way from 5000 to 1000 persons.
he opened his speech with these words
, After looking into the faces of this
multitude | suppose tomorrow's l.. & n
papers, the Dispatch and Post. will
generously admit that 300 people were
here"
The loud applause that followed this
must have panied the reporters of those
hermaphrodite papers, for sure enough
in the Dispatch of Tuesday following,
this ludicrous lie appeared:
when Mr. Goebel commenced his
harangue probably 1000 people were in
reach Of his voice. and as he proceeded
to abuse the l. & n. railroad the crowd
began to disperse until only about 800
were present"
Despite the fact that this was the
second or third largest audience Mr..
Goebel has had so far, and by far the
largest that ever assembled In Madison
county 20 listen to n candidate. the
Dispatch, through its constituencies re-
porter, continues:
Mr.. Goebel's effort was a decided
failure. So much so, that the Demo-
cratic committee held him over to make
another harangue at the courthouse at
s p. m. which he did, to a small, listless
crowd"
AT the night meeting there were 700
persons, 100 OF whom were ladies'. We
will simply quote from the report sent
to the Lexington Herald, allowing one
liar to contradict the other. The Her
aid, whose editor is VIM c. Pollard
Breckenridge, hates GOebel, but it at
least Appropriated the truth in this re-
port:
Senator Goebel had his warmest
welcome here today, warmer perhaps
than any other place in the State where
he has spoken. The crowd which as
sernbled in front of the court house this
afternoon was estimated at from 1000
to 5000 persons, and while il was not
as enthusiastic as some other audiences
to which Mr.. Goebel has spoken, yet
the numbers were present and the
speaker was satisfied. He was also re-
ceived in very friendly manner along
the road from Winchester to Richmond.
He dined at the hotel. and at a few
minutes before o'clock he mounted a
stand, which had been erected in the
court house yard. and which. was sur
rounded by a crowd of people probably
numbering 5000 or less"
MORE RIDICULOUS MIssTATrMrNTs-
While Mr. Goebel was speaking to
his thousands Messrs Burnam and
Sweeny were inside the court house
with never a moment when there were
more than 100 whites and 100 negroes
listening, figures given out by gentle
men present. And yet the Lexington
Herald, in another portion OF its article,
makes this foolish misstatement:
Inside Of the court house several
Republican candidates spoke at the
same hour. The court room was
crowded, and the overflow from it was
doubtless the cause of Goebel's crowd
being as large as il was
When we read the above to Tut
Burnam, he laughingly remarked
that's all joke" In other words, all

Furthermore, when you so eloquent

Business was Transacted with a Vim

At the second meeting of the Rich
mOnd Democratic Club on last Thurs
day night constitution and bylaws
were adopted, speeches by several earn
est members were listened to, plans
we're devised for the promotion of the
party's interests in this campaign, and
thoroughly enjoyable evening was
passed in the service of Democracy.
President r. H. CrOoke was in the
chair, Secretary Woods read the min
utes, after which Mr. w. R. Letcher
was chosen Treasurer of the club and
the following executive committee
elected: H. H. Colyer, T. C. O'Neal'
R. B. Terrill, T. T. CovingtOn, S. H.
Thorpe and J. H. Kennedy. After in
structing this committee to see that
good speakers are secured to address
the club every Thursday night, dis
cussion of organizing clubs ont in the
county ensued. 1t developed the fact
that Hon. ]. Tevis Cobbs, the
efficient chairman of the Democratic
campaign committee, has already ar
ranged to organize several clubs but he
desired everyone to cooperate with him
in the work. Whereupon Messrs
Charles Tudor, of the Newly locality,
W. f. Powers, J. q. Laekey, II. NJ.
Miller, John and Blur White, Joe
Maupin, w. r. Letcher, L. Hood Lit
tie and others volunteered to enter upon
the work. Tonight at Newly a club
will be organized. Let the work 90 on
in every precinct. And when a number
of clubs have been formed they will
be in position to secure the services
of speaker of more than Statewide
reputation to address them in body
some day or evening at the court house.
Remember the meeting here tomorrow
night, when Judge Gregory, of Louis
vile, and Hon. Letcher Owsley, of
Lancaster. will speak. Everybody in
vited.

All the GubernatUrial Candidates Represent
ed in a Rabbit Chase.

Mr.. Carl Deatherage, who resides
about three miles northwest Of Rich
mond, is great hunter and has a fine
pack of hounds. Among the latter ne
hasa number of young ones named af-
ter three of the Gubernatorial caudi-
dates: Bill Goebel, Bill Taylor, and
J. Y. Brown. We had the pleasure on
Monday of witnessing an exhibition
chase by the entire pack, and it is
worth relating briefly. A rabbit ran
across the yard while Carl was giving
the pack their morning meal, and at a
word from their master, the hounds
were off after the cotton-tail Around
and across the yard the rabbit ran with
the pack at his heels, Bill Goebel in
the lead, Taylor close second, while
j. Y. Brown, which is not hound but
a little brown coliie,was at the tail-end
OF the bunch. AS the dogs made their
second tour OF the large yard, ]. Y.
Brown, who had been left so badly in
the first brush, ran directly in front of
the flying Goebel seemingly with the
deliberate determination of upsetting
the leader and allowing Taylor to catch
the rabbit But ]. Y. Brown did not
calculate that Taylor would get mixed
up in the collision. and hence the lat
ter turned a somersault over Goebel
and Brown. Up sprang Goebel and
with wide-open jaws he sailed into bis
opponents, biting them right and left,
until Mr.. Deatherage pulled him of.
when the good dog took out for the rab-
bit and caught him about 300 yards
from the house.
1t remained for Miss Lila Deather-
age, fourteen-year-old daughter of MIR.
James Deatherage, to give significance
to the event, which she did thus:
"Goebel represented the Democratic
nominee in the present campaign for
the Governorship. He had all the quail
ties Of runner, but the other hounds
were Jealous Of him so they put out the
littie brown pup, named j. Y. Brown TO
trip up Goebel in the race SO Taylor,
the Republican hound could catch the
nomination, winch in this contest was
represented by a rabbit. But Gcebel
was not only good runner but a game
fighter, and after being upset he pro
ceeded to whip Brown-and TAYLOR be-
fore capturing the prize loud hand
clapping by the assembled spectators.'s
When Miss Lila gave this version Of
the rabbit chase her uncle Carl, who is
a warm Goebel Democrat, said he
would hereafter feed his hounds OH
Goebel buttons il it killed the last one
Of them.
