The Richmond climax. (Richmond, Ky.) 1897-1914, 1899-07-19


result will be an oi,I-tiL,e Democratic
victory and The eternal defeat of II, :
publi' an rule in Kentucky
ALL FIzzLE.
The efforts to create discussions il
the party will br entirely unavailing.
The fiat failure of the L. and n. mas
meeting at Bowling Grren is in itself |
sufficient Indication of that. Any one
with proper conception can See where
the alleged anti-Goebel sentiment /
arises. 1t is directed against Goebel in /
name, but against the platform in fact !
II You will look up the record of any
man who subscribes to an anti Goebel |
letter printed in an H. and N. newspa-
per, you will find that he is either |
man who has been WRONG with his /
party ON the money question or man |
who is Influenced or controlled bv the
l. aud n. railway. Our district was
stronger for liar lin than his own was.
There is no dissatisfaction there now To
compare with that which existed while |
the orranIzed gOld-bug movement " az /
alive. know the feeling If the people,
and | know that the Fourth District /
Will give GOehtl the biggest Demo
cratic majority she has gwen any can
