adopting that platform, with a clause
in condemnation of trusts and COM
bines, and suggest such remedies as
will wipe them off the earth, when
the Democratic party is in power.
"The Democratic idea, as applied to
government, will do away with trusts
and combines, because the idea of the
Democratic party is that the law shall
bear equally and alike upon all, and
there is no class of people in this
country for whom the law should be
made at the expense OF the many. The
Democratic idea is that the earnings
of the people should be left in their
pockets and no single, solitary farth-
ing should be taken from them except
for the necessary expenses of this
government. This idea OF the Demo-
cratic party applied to management OF
affairs of government, along with
other ideas, on the money question,
will bring such prosperity to the peo-
pie Of the United States as the most
imaginative individual, in his most
sanguine moments, never dreamed Of

zens, the principles OF the Democratic
party are the only principles ever
enunciated by mau under which the
affairs of this government could be
managed so as to bring the greatest
success possible to the people of the
United States. They are the only
principles that are in full accord with
the constitution of the country, and,
that being true, Democrat, or thete
should be no man in this country now
claiming to be Democrat, or there
should DO no man who labors for a

than a Democrat, and in favor of the
free and unlimited coinage of both

"Gentlemen 1 am not going to de-

your meeting at this time marks an
important period in the history of the

the Democratic party is really just

Dress Trimmings & Findings.

Many a handsome dress is spoil
ed by poor trimmings and findings.
Many a modest gown has been
made to give nearly double service
by proper attention to these
things. In this store you will get
everything that goes into the
makeup of dress of the best.
You'll find it will pay you to buy
the best, especially when that best
will cost you here but a fraction,
a mere shade more than the poor
sorts. Penny pinching is the poor
est kind of economy, when you're
fitting out a dress for the maker.

MANILA, April 6, 1899.

MANILA, April D, 1888.
Dear Sister Il am resting now,
having just come in from the firing
line, and am very tired and don't
feel much like writing. 1t is very
hot here. When we are out it is
lard to see the boys falling all around
me, but we got the negroes by the
thousands. They had wooden can
non and when we began to throw
shells into them you ought to have
seen them go. They had the best in
trenchments 1 ever saw, but we did
not care for that, we went after them
the same as if there was nothing in
sight. The country is nothing but
rice fields, all in little ridges SO the
water will stand well in them. l
wish was at home l don't like this
country.
We took the Capitol of the insur-
gents and they set the Administration
building on fire before destroying
the town. 1t was magnificent
building and it was great pity to
burn it, but they try to spite US by
burning the towns we capture. In
the ruins our boys lately found $685.
900, part of their war fund. We now
have railroad out to the firing line,
80 the boys get plenty of rations, am
intuition and water,and you bet they
drive the enemy. We walk into
showers of bullets as if they were
snow balls. 1 have felt several times
as if my time had come, but marched
on and have come out safe so far. We
have lost no men yet, but two privates
and our First Lieutenant are in the
hospital recovering from wounds
Our commander was killed few
days ago. We were sorry to lose
him for he was brave and good
man and all the boys liked him ex-
ceedingly well. 1 think now, how
ever, that this thing will come to a
close pretty soon, as l hear that some
of the enemy's representatives are
coming to have talk with General
Otis, as to terms of surrender. All
our boys hope the war will end soon,
for they are tired of hunting negroes
all over the country and in blazing
hot sun.
We have some sickness here, but /
think I will keep my health all right.
The water here is very bad, and
should be boiled before drinking, but
when on q march we have to drink
any kind we run across. One day we
came very near capturing train
with Aguinaldo and his leading men
on board, but they escaped and re-
treated to the mountains. II we could
only get him the war would soon be
over, for he compels his men to fight
He tells them that we will kill them il
they surrender and that we will
burn their homes and take every
thing from them. They believe him
for they are ignorant and the leader
are we'll educated.
Tell everybody hello and to write
when they can.
Write 10 me soon and tell all tn,
news. Your brother,

Lost a Good Horse.

j. j. Nesbitt, of Owingsville, with
the assistance Of Lawrence KIM

A Creature of Circumstances.

Mr.. Flave Hurley, Of the firm
of Hurley & Leach, is in Jail in Wiz
chester on the charge of forgery. The
facts in the case which led to Mr.Hur-
ley's arrest and imprisonment were
received from his partner in business,
Mr.. Leach, who was in Winchester to
see him ON last Thursday. Of him
Mr.. Leach said: Mr.. Hurley is about
forty years old, was born and raised
in Madison, Ind, and had been his
partner in business since 'S4' and he
believed him to be just man, who
would not commit wrong knowing
ly. Mr.. Hurley has been a resident
of Mt. Sterling for the past 8 years,
and from his life as you have known
him during that time you can judge
him. Mr.. Hurley did business in
Franklin and Eminence, KY, and in
each place there is good report OF
him. About three years ago, in con-
nection with his business, he began
work in the pension business under
attorney F. G. Coldren, of Washing
ton, d. G. 1t was Mr.. Hurley's duty
according to his agreement, to find
persons entitled to pensions, report
same to Mr.. Coldren to work up
proof and for so doing Hurley should
share the fees with the attorney. He,
in this connection, had succeeded in
getting several on the pension roll.
Learning that Angelina Wilkerson,
a demented old colored woman, had
an important claim he reported it to
the attorney who furnished Hurley
with blanks for taking proof Mr..
John T. Mcgowan, Mr.. Hurley said,
identified the old woman as the Wild
ow of the dead soldier, but when re-
turhed it was not thought sufficient,
being lacking in proof of marriage.
Another form was sent MI Hurley
and he says Mr.. Mcgowan furnished
evidence and he handed him the
form and asked that he be sworn to
it and have notary's seal put on it.
He did so and this proof he also for
warded to the attorney at Washing
ton.
Subsequently Mr.. Mcgowan was
summoned to Louisville before the
U. S. grand jury, where he recogniz-
ed his Signature to the first form, his
name being spelled correctly, but sig
nature to other form was not genuine
and was incorrectly spelled Meow
an. On this evidence Mr.. Hurley
claims he was indicted. Why the
names were spelled differently or
were in another hand writing he can
not explain.
The above statement was given
Mr. Leach by Mr.. Hurley who related
same to a reporter of the ADvooALE.
According to Mr.. Hurley's story he
/ is a creation of unfortunate circum-
stances. Every one here believed
Mr.. Hurley honest and were startled
when the report of his arrest and
imprisonment was made known.

CAPT. W. J. STONES
Speech Before Bimetallic Lea,
que in Louisville Last Week.

"Mr. President, Ladies' and Gentle
men: Democrats have always be-
lieved in the free and unlimited COIN
age of both gold and silver. 1t has
been one of the principles of the DEM
ocratic party since the party was Or
ganized, and it is too late in the histo-
ny of the Democratic party now to be-
gin to convince men that the prin-
ciple of the free and unlimited coin
age of both gold and silver is a new
principle upon which to do the
business of this country,
"The hand that wrote the Declare
ton of Independence wrote the first
coinage law that was ever put upon
the statute books, and that was the
hand OF Thomas Jefferson, the great
father of the Democratic party. That
law said that 356 grains of silver
should be dollar, and that there
should be a gold coin known as sn
feagle. equal to ten silver dollars ;snd
another coin known as half eagle
equal to five silver dollars, and an
other coin known as quarter eagle
equal to two and half silver dollars,
and these two metals should be coined
side by side, free and unlimited at
the minis of the United States.
"That law was in operation in this
country for eighty years down to the
year 1873, and what occurred during
that period was this, that not one
single solitary coin ever issued from
( the minis of the United States, with
the devices prescribed by law, and of
the legal weight and fneness, with the
legal tender clause in the law behind
it, that ever passed for a fraction of
q cent less than its face value, and it
is too late now to talk about the in
ability OF the United States, or the
United States government, to keep
those two metals at parity when
coined in the minis of the United
States under the law provided tor
their coinage, The Democratic party
in all its history has been in favor of
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer. Every vote cast in the United
States congress upon the question of
coinage of these two metals has shown
Democratic majority in favor of the
free aud unlimited coinage of both
gold and silver. Every Democratic
convention that ever assembled in the
United States and declared itself up
on the money question, declared in ia
vor of the free and unlimited coinage
of both gold and silver at the minis
of the United States. Every man that
ever rose to prominence as Demo-
cratic leader has been in favor of the
free and unlimited coinage of both
these metals, free and without limit,
at the minis of the United States. nd
to-day, fellow citizens, the Democratic
party of the State of Kentucky--yes
the Democratic party of the entire
country--is in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage of gold and silver
at the minis of the United States, free
and without limit, without the con
sent or the action of any other coun'
try on earth.
sit is enough for me to know tina
the Democratic party has been al
ways in favor of this principle; it II
enough for me to know that the Dem
.ocratic party 10 now in favor of thil
