win swear you owe nim debt for
the enemies he has made, and by
whom he Is handicapped In his race
for governor today. There never was
Democrat who stood before the De-
mocracy OF Kentucky as heavily ham
dicapped as that candidate is now. He
has the serried, unbroken ranks of the
Republican party In front OF him to
fight He is threatened with the de-
lection OF the boiling Democrats on his
flank, whilst piled on top, like noun
tain on mountain, come the railroad
and the corporate wealth aud power
of which he has spoken, in an-dh-
deavor to drag him down and defeat
him. He is carrying every handicap
that was ever put upon a candidate.
but we are not whining about Ii, and
we do not propose to do so. We Will
meet the combined opposition. of<kll
our enemies from without, Nnds the
cowardly flank movements ot&Raitors
from within. We will meet ond grapple
with corporate wealth and corporate
power and corporate exactions we will
meet the world, the flesh and the devil.
and teach them that, In spite of all,
Democracy is united and is the real
and dominating party Of this state.
[Great cheering.]
He has tried to talk to You about
trusts-don't be alarmed, a1Vnot GO
ing to talk to you much longer Goebel
has his second wind, and he keeps
winking and blinking at me to let
him have the floor. You have come to
see him and so have I, and / never
heard a fellow doing better up until
the time OF the break.

TRIBUTE TO GOEBEL.
Kentucky Democrats May Well Be
Proud of Their Ticket.

Now, my friends, you have ticket
you need not be ashamed Of There
Is not man on 1t whose record is not
clean. 1t is well divided geographic
ally. Every section of your common
wealth is represented upon it by
worthy sons You of the First dis
trict have your candidate on it, and
SO 1t is evenly and fairly scattered
throughout the limits of your state.
But the head of the ticket is COM
planned about, I have never heard
anybody object to any candidate upon
it, except Goebel, and nave never yet
been fully able to find what the ground
of the objection was to Goebel. Has
any man ever charged him with be-
ing lacking in integrity and honor?
If so, have never heard it. Has any
body ever charged him with being
lacking in fidelity or truth? If so,
have never heard it. Does anybody
say that he lacks capacity or intelli-
gence? | have never heard it, | have
heard Goebel charged with good
many things, but l will swear have
never heard him charged with being a
fool Then, If he has ability and in
tegrity and honesty, If he has party
loyalty, and II he has courage, tell me.
in Gods name, what reasonable objec-
ton can you urge? No man impugns
his courage, and courage is what the
Democratic hosts in this district adj
mire. The truth is, the people of Ken
lucky can not be induced to support
a man who lacks courage, and hope
they never will. If there is one thing
that is demanded by the Anglo-Saxon
race of its representatives and leaders
1t is manhood and courage. From the
Gay when the craven Saxon king crept
from his beaten army, the army that
was beaten, but not disheartened, from
that day down to this, no scion of the
Anglo-SaXon race has ever been rallied
to the standard of coward There is
not man upon your ticket, and espe-
cially the head of it. that does not COM
mand the respect of Kentucky and all
her people, his political allies and po-
litical foes, because of his outspoken
courage and the manliness of his ca
reer. [Cheers.l Do the people of Ken
lucky fear the domination OF aggre-
gated capital9 Have corpora lions and
combinations and trusts any terrors
for you? Are you honest when you
say that you are afraid your liberties
are in danger and are about to be abb
sorbed by the greed OF combined and
aggregated wealth in this country? Are
you hunting for leader upon whom
you may rely TO protect you from the
throttling grasp Of corporation and
trust greed? If so, there sits the man,
who, by his record, Is the one. II is
not l. 1t is not Wheeler, 1t Is not Ollie
James. There sits the man who by his
public record is the first and foremost
representative Of the rights of the
masses against the classes. II you
people owe him debt for nothing else

Prayers, Not Execration, For the
Boiling Element.
Mr.. Blackburn, upon being intro
duced and when the applause had sub
sided, proceeded as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen and Fellow
Democrats-Do not be alarmed about
Senator Goebel. No harm is coming to
him. This is just piece of stage play.
He and l are doing this thing by turns.
Some of the lying newspapers of
Kentucky-and God knows there are
enough of them left-have been telling
you that l was a sick man. Goebel
only wanted to correct this misstate-
ment and let you see l was the we'll
fellow who had come along to take
the place Of any one who got over
heated.

paper lately that l was not going to
be at Mayfield on the 18th, that the

the platform of the party. This is not
the first time that you or l have been
threatened with bolts by Democrats.
We have heard that thunder before.
This Is not the first time that self-con-
stituted political purifiers have assert
ed their right to purge Democracy OF
it's impurities and save it from its own
sacrilegious and suicidal hand Pal
mer and Buckner undertook that vol
untary act in 1896. and very worthy
gentleman by the name of Hindman,
from Adair county, followed in 1897
and offered himself as a sacrificial vic
tim upon the altar of regenerated and
purified Democracy. We are told that
there are some self-sacrificing patriots
in this state today who are willing and
anxious to follow in the footsteps of
Buckner and Hindman.
But | am not going to say anything
about that, for thank God that Ken

ical abortion as third party boiling

Day Mercilessly Played In Mas.
terly Philippe and Before Grea,
Crowd.
At the formal and highly successful
opening of the Kentucky Democratic
campaign at Mayfield on Saturday, Au-
gust IL, the stirring keynote was
sounded and national and state issues
eloquenily and clearly defined before a
throng of 5000 of the faithful of
Graves county. Senator ]. c. S. Black
burn and Hon. William Goebel, our
gallant standard bearer, were the ora
tors of the day and were accorded a
welcome such as only the stalwarts of
the banner Democratic county of the
state can give.
Senator Blackburn, in his speech, ex-
haustively reviewed the problem now
confronting the citizens of the state,
and lucidly outlined the true position
OF the loyal Democrat in the present
vital contest. The dissenters came in
for a large share of attention. Ma
tional questions, however, were not
overlooked, the speaker severely ar
raigning the pretentions and misrule
of the Republicans. The money power,
trusts and the domination OF railway
corporations received a merciless scor-
ing, the eloquent senator's burning
words repeatedly bringing the vast au-
dience to its feet
Other leading features of the sena-
tors address were his eloquent tribute
to the worth of Hon. William Goebel
and candidates on the ticket, which he
predicted would sweep the state from
Mills Point to the mouth of the Sandy;
his vigorous and courageous handling
of vital state questions and severe ar
raignment of the boiling element. He
also demonstrated how difficult the way
of the political boss on Kentucky soil.
The speakers Introductory remarks re-
fer to the sudden indisposition of Sen
ator Goebel, who was momentarily
overcome by heat while speaking and
forced to desist

Philadelphia, Jan. 11.-Postmaster
General Smith addressed the Contem-
porary club last night on "The Future
of American Foreign Politics" His
speech was an eloquent endorsement Of
the expansion policy. He argued that
this country has precisely the same
right to acquire islands in the Pacific
that belongs to every other nation, and
that in doing so we do not trespass
upon any others province or transgress
any just rule Of conduct. The Monroe
doctrine Is not affected, declared the
speaker, adding: Nothing could be
more illogical than to say that our flag
should not remain in the Philinpines
because their people are untitled to
come under American control, and then
to say that We ought not to undertake
to control them because they are en-
titled to self government"

Senator Mason's Speech In Opposition
to Territorial Exhaustion.

to Territorial Expansion.
Washington. Jan. Ex-senator Mason,
of Illinois, occupied the attention of the
senate for nearly an hour and half
yesterday with speech in support of
his resolutions declaring that the
United States will never attempt to
govern the people of any country with
out their consent. In many respects
the speech was one of the most notable
utterances in the senate thus far this
session. Rugged in language, pointed
and effective in illustration. Mr.. Mason
commanded the attention of the sem
ate and of the galleries from the first
sentence of his speech to the apos-
trophe to liberty which formed his
peroration. Several times spontaneous
applause swept over the galleries, but
under the stringent rules of the senate
it was quelled quickly 1t was several
minutes after the conclusion of the
speech before the senate could pro-
ceed with Its business, on account OF
the confusion incident to the congratu-
lations which many Of Mr.. Masons
colleagues fastened to extend to him.
The Nicaragua canal bill was discussed
by Mr.. Turley. of Tennesse, who op-
posed the pending measure. An agree
ment was reached to consider the bill
next Tuesday, with Is minutes to dis
cuss each amendment.
The house devoted its undivided at
ion again to the bill for the codifl-
cation of the criminal laws of Alaska,
and when adjournment was had all but
ten pages of the bill had been disposed

| The Supreme Court Declares Itsell
Satisfied That the Petitioners Can
Have Fair aud Impartial Trial In
Philadelphia.
| Philadelphia, Jan. 1.-THE supreme
court yesterday dismissed the petition
Of the defendants in the Quay con-
Hpiracy case and the case will now go
back to the court of quarter sessions for
trial in the regular course of procedure.
The petition had been filed on behalf
Of United States Senator Quay, his son
Richard r. Quay, and former Stata
Treasurer Benjamin ]. Haywood who
asked for writ of certiorari to re-
move the case to the higher tribunal
on the grounds that political prejudices
would prevent them from getting q
fair trial In the county court.
Chief Justice Sterrett handed down
the opinion. He merely announced that
the rule was discharged and the Pc
tition dismissed at the cost Of petition
ers. The chief Justice filed an opinion,
concurred In by the entire court, but
this was placed on record without pub
lie reading.
Briefly stated. the court declares it.
self satisfied that the petitioners can
and will have fair and impartial
trial in this county.
The announcement of the decision
created profound sensation in po-
litical circles and there Is much specu-
lation as to it's effect on the selection
of United States senator, for which
the state legislature will begin ballot
ing next Tuesday, Senator Quay left
town for Washington yesterday after
noon without having expressed any
opinion concerning the case. He did
say, however. that he would be in Har-
risburg tonight. The legislature will re-
convene tomorrow.
District Attorney Rothermel said that
the trial will go on in the regular course
Of business, but he was not prepared to
say when 1t will be heard. Although
Former District Attorney Graham. who
instituted the proceedings while in Of
fee, was engaged by his successor, Mr..
Rothermel, as special attorney to con-
duct the case before the suprem court,
1t Is not known whether Mr.. Graham
will handle the case when 1t Is resumed
in the quarter sessions.
The charges against the defendants
Is conspiracy with John S. Hopkins,
cashier of the Peoples bank, who COM
mitted suicide when the bank failed
last March, to misuse state funds on
deposit there. They We're arrested last
October, and after a preliminary hear
ing entered bail for trial. The date
fixed for trial has several times been
postponed. Senator Quay and his CO.
defendants have persstenty alleged
that the prosecution Is actuated by po-
lltical enmities, the aim Of which Is to
defeat his reelection to the United
States senate
