SENATOR GoEBEL certainly had OF
his fighting clothes at Bowling Greet
Monday, where he and Senator Black.
burn spoke to "acres of people," as the
latter expressed it, there being 1000 by
the most conservative estimate. After
asserting that he never assaulted man
in his life unless be first assaulted him,
Senator Goebel said he asked no quar-
ter and feared no man. Theodore Hal
lam had spoken In Bowling Green re-
Gently and said a good many things
about the Senator and his family. They
have both lived in Covington for 80
years. He had been honored with
election to the State Senate longer than
any other man. Hallam ran against
him last time and got 600 votes, while
he got 1900 or seven times as many.
Then he added: "Hallam said | had
A.. not changed particle in appearance in
20 years. But | can't say as much for
him. II had been drunkard and
debauchee, |, too, would have changed
and would carry with me face similar
to piece OF cancerous beefsteak He
may talk about my brothers, but new
err had one in the penitentiary, and that
is more than he can say for himself.
He and Harvey Myers, while In the
Legislature, were partners In drawing
monthly stipend from the lotteries. 1 !
passed the bill that took from them that
stipend. Myers, while speaker of the |
Kentucky House of Representatives |
wrote letter to Manager Frantz, of
the Covington lottery offices, demand
ing $500 as monthly stipend, and
have the original copy of that letter at
home. That's the reason Myers was
not returned to the Legislature and
that's why he was defeated for Com
monwealth's attorney by 1000 votes"
Myers aided in the Lexington con-
vention in nominating Jno. c. Droege
for treasurer, although he had Myers
indicted for attempting to bride him
while he was an alderman, TO vote for
an ordinaIce extending the franchise
OF street railway. Myers escaped be-
cause the ordinance was not pending az
the time Droege swore that tae at
tempt to bride him was made.
And w, G. Owens, of Georgetown"
continued tue Senator. lis one OF those
who have been assailing me. While
az Frankfort did what could 10 make
1t felony to run faro bank or rou- t
iette table and other gambling devices,
and thereby | interferred with Owens 2
regular business. He was an applicant p
for oifice under Mckinley and is doubt P
less preparing for another sppica- /
ton" b
He referred to w. C. Pollard Breck- a
inridge as another of the publication "
lists, who were libelliug him and said a O
mention of his name was sufficient. w,
ii. Mackoy, another of the gang, was a
member OF the board of directors of a d
company when the Senator a
secured the passage of Ia law which re. /,
suited In cutting It's tolls in half and 81
thereby interfered with his business q,

Then the speaker went for the Lou. te
sville Post and Dispatch aud showed A,
hat one OF the editors OF the latter, IL
J.. w. Smith, only escaped being A
convict by pardon granted him by
Gov. Bradley. The other editors of the
lisreputable sheet are either habitual of
'olters or republicans. The whole 10
peech was hot stun and the way it was ca
Interrupted by applause shows that d,
he boilers in Warren were either hid ia
ut or their number has been greatly do
lagnifed. IT
When Blackburn's time came he ia
roceeded to do Brownie up Brown by No
efuting some OF his many fallacies

align. In comparison with the L. a is
Brown bolter-free ticket free lunch In
the meeting was clean out hi
sight. Browns hearers easily got an
Ito the courthouse, capable of holding go
ily 900 people. The park was hardly sh
Iiiicient TO hold those who heard the an
