Mr.. WArrERsoN says there will be
no reconciliation between the gold
and silver elements of the democratic
party" Why certainly no., for the
very gold reason that there are no
such elements. The democratic party
lis unit. There are a few men who
deserted that party in 1896, VINO, like
all other renegades, hate it worse than
do the republicans, and who, of course.
will continue to do so, but nobody
ever expected them to come back TO it,
and what they may do or not do, will
not affect the party in the slightest par
ticular. They want the republicans to
succeed, And the democrats knowing
that pay no heed to them.

GOEBEL WILL WITHDRAW.
Says Colonel Turner, Speaking of the
Kentucky Fight

Lexington, Ky, Aug. 5.-The situa-
ton since the state conference of anti
Goebel-Bryan Democrats here is more
Ominous than ever for the nominee of
the late state Democratic convention
for governor.
Many men who have been silent are
now VOicing their sentiments and if
looks as if the movement inaugurated
at Mt Sterling by ex-Congressman
Thomas Turner is gaining strength
In an interview Col Turner said:
"Goebel will withdraw before the
middle of October. Bryan will come to
Kentucky and make him get off the
track"
Capt. w. H. Sweeney, common
wealth's attorney of Marion county, said:
1T will not do for Mr. Bryan to take
the stump in Kentucky for GoebeI If
he does it will cost him the state, and
1t will defeat Joe Blackburn for United
States senator
w. H Lockhart. commonwealth's at
torney Of Campbell county, said:
Mr.. Bryan is not likely to come to
Kentucky to help GoebeI when he
learns the true situation. He does not
want his old friends in Kentucky, who
stood by him three years ago, to be-
come his enemies, as they will do If he
persists in helping to elect a man gov
ernor whom they refuse"
Capt James B. Clay of this city, who
is the leader in the movement here
against GOebel said:
I am in favor of defeating Goebel at
all hazards. Mr.. Bryan does not want
to array the silver Democrats of Ken
lucky against him by coming here and
working for GoebePs election He
might lose the state in the national
convention if he tries it"
Capt. Stevens G. Sharp, ex-Rtate
treasurer, said:
THE anti-GoebeI movement among
the Bryan silver Democrats is far
greater than was the Palmer and Buck
ner split in 1895. That year we polled
5000 votes in Kentucky. and I firmly
believe the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. men can
poll three times as many for Governor
Brown as we did. Then nearly all the
sound money Democrats will vote
against Goebe1, SO that see no way
for him to be elected. He cannot steal
it and get away with it,
John Walsh, turfman and leader in
the anti-Goebe1 movement said:
I see nothing but defeat in store for
Goebel, and if Mr.. Bryan comes to
Kentucky to make speeches for him,
tremble for the result. We want to see
Bryan carry Kentucky in the national
convention next year, and we want him
to receive the electoral vote of the old
commonwealth, but he will get neither
If he mixes in our fight" Walsh was a
Confederate soldier.
Colonel Hart Gibson. brother of the
late Senator Gibson of Louisiana, said:
1T will not do for Mr.. Goebel to at
tempt to count himself in. The old Con-
federates will not have it, and there
will be a revolution if such a thing is
done. I believe the anti Goebel Demo-
Gratis will get the party emblem. the
other convention did not make appIf-
cation according to law
Numerous other leading men talked
in the same strain.
