BROWN A BOLTER.
Ex-Governor Deserts The Party
That Honored Him.
Will Head The Boiling Ticket OF
The Tin Horn Squealers.

Ex.Gov. John Young Brown Tues
day announced that he had irrevo-
cably made up his mind not to sup
port the Democratic State ticket,
and declared himself candidate
for the nomination for Governor by
the boilers convention, which it is
proposed to hold soon at Lexington.
Gov. Brown said:
Il will accept the nomiR alton if it
is rendered me, and shall make it
the supreme political struggle of my
life.
"There is no moral or political
obligation resting on any Democrat
to support the work of the late Demo-
cratic convention. Fraud vitiates
everything. There were fraud,
duress and usurpation in the con-
vention. Before the nomination
was made, three-fourths of the dele
gates, perhaps, had gone home,
most of them in great disgust and
disappointment.
Except to a few who were in close
touch with Gov Browns intentions,
his announcement came as a great
surprise, as it is supposed that he
was a warm, personal friend and
supporter of Senator Goebel, He
was violently opposed to the candi-
cacy of Mr.. P. Wat Hardin and
told all his friends that his great
aim in the recent campaign by Goe-
bel, Hardin and Stone for the nomi-
nation was to defeat Mr.. Hardin.
Their enmity is such that they do
not speak. Gov. Brown favored
Senator Goebel overCapt. Stone and
gave him some assistance but want
ed Goebel to withdraw and let him
have the nominal When Goebel
declined Brown became very sore
and has decided to line up with the
tinhorn gang who are quitting the
party.

JOE WILL LEAD.
Campaign to.be Opened Within
Two Weeks.
Blackburn And GoebeI Will Fire
The Opening Guns in a Vic
torious Campaign.

Frankfort, Ky, July 25-Former
Senator ]. c. S, Blackburn was Sc
lected to-day by the Democratic
nominees and Chairman Allie w.
Young, of the State Central Commit
tee, to be chairman of the Democra-
tic State Campaign Committee. Mr..
Blackburn, who was present, ac-
cepted the place and Immediately
prepared to enter upon the perfor-
nance of the duty OF managing the
present campaign.
Within two weeks the campaign
will be formally opeped with big
meeting, at which the principal
speeches will be made by Senator
Goebel and Mr.. Blackburn. 1t is
probable that the opening gun will
be fred at May field or some other
point in the first district, though
this will not be settled for a day or
two. From the time of the first
meeting, the campaign will be kept
redhot by the democrats. Mr..
Blackburn said to his friends at
the meeting that he never was more
anxious in his life to get into the
fight, and that hewas going to ham
die all boilers without gloves. He
said that his attitude with reference
to Mr.. Goebel had been misrepre-
scented, and he intended to show the
people from one end of the State to
the other that he was heartily for
the Democratic ticket from top to
bottom.
He said that he would make one
of the most active and most earnest
campaigns of his life.
The Campaign Committee.
Besides Chairman Blackburn,
there will be two other members-at-
large on the Campaign Committee,
Jas. B. McCreary and ex-
John d. Clardy.
There will be two members from
each congressional district, and the
list will be announced in a few days.
Those from the Louisville district
will be Judge Thomas r. Gordon

THE BULLDOG.
He In n Good Companion and r. BoynI
to the Death.


A real lover OF dogs Is apt 20 have a pref
erence as to type. but he is apt also 10 he
fond OF all good dogs, no matter what the
class OF their special purposes In the world.
The dog lover is very like I'm this regard
the truly gallant mamie may prefer blue
eyes and fair hair to the opposite but his
heart goes out 20 all women who are good
because they are women and because
they are good. To the uninitiated an az
lection for a bulldog seems a perverslon of
taste. for the bulldog Is not symmetrical.
IS not graceful and sometimes appears to
lack intelligence. About his Intelligence.
however, there is more than one opinion;
about his affection and his loyalty there
can be no doubt whatever Has affection
Knows neither hesitation. wavering nor
change. and he Is a rare comrade- He Is
not noisy. he is not nervous and he Is not
given TO demonstration. He fills the re-
ouirements that Emerson formulated as To
perfect companionship. He does not need
TO speak to show his sympathy He can
tell you what he wishes TO say with his
iittie eyes and he can be eloquent with th,
~aggings Of his stump tail This Kind ~
companion is not such as cornmends him
self to all persons. for there are those in
the world who like chatterers and consider
the amending small talk of the drawing
room the highest and most pleasurable eN-
preston of human wit. For such as these
the bulldog Is not likely TO have the great
est attractions. Let such have a frolicsoTne
dog or a kitten that will chase its tail Bur
the bulldog is a good compan MON for a auier
man OF a thoughtful and philosophic cast
OF mind. The bulldog will not disturb hls
musings, the bulldog will not say the
wrong thing at a time when silence is
precious for the bulldog rarely speaks.
Nhen he does he is short, though not
sharp, in his communications and is very
much TO the purpose.
