IN OLD KENruCKY.
Despite warlille Preparations. an o
DERBY Election Is Predicted.

Despite VRrltlSe Preparations. an Or
derly Election Is Predicted.
Louisville. Nov. IA quiet and or
derby election is predicted this morn
ing as the polls open. While the feel
ing between the factions is at a rather
high tension, the general apprehension,
it is thought, will do more to lessen
the likelihood of an outbreak than the
precautionary activity which has been
noticeable among those who are direct
ing the movements of the municipal
police and the state national guards.
If clash should occur it is most likely
to be in Louisville. At Bowling Green
there has been a particularly bitter
fight between the Democratic factions,
and extra police have been sworn in.
But at this and other larger towns
nothing more serious that the usual
election day casualties is expected. In
Louisville the greatest feeling has been
aroused. One Democratic faction con-
trolls the police, while the other has
made the alleged interference Of those
officers with the local primary and
election machinery one of its principal
campaign cries. Mayor Weaver has
issued a proclamation appealing for
order and cautioning the police.
Governor Bradley is in the city and
will remain here until after the cleo
tion. number of reports have been
current as to orders said to have been
sent to militia companies throughout
the state to hold themselves in readi-
ness for a call. The usual detail of
men placed on guard at the armory of
the Louisville Legion, in this city at
election times is on duty. In this
state of preparedness the authorities
are waiting for the passing of today.

HOSPITAL PATIENTS.

Mans Back.

hhu batht
A most delicate operation was performed at
the Miners Hospital by DR.. j. G. Biddle
which necessitated the removal Of a portion
Of three Of the dorsal vertebae. The opera
ton is known as the Lamnestomi operation
and is Of very rare occurrence
Thomas Brososki, Of Shamokin, had his
back broken by fall of coal at the Luke
Fidler colliery the latter part Of August lie
was taken to the Miners Hospital where he
hung between life and death for several
weeks When he commenced to improve it
was found that the lower portion Of his body
was paralyzed. 1t was decided to perform
an operation and yesterday Doctor Biddle.
assisted by the physicians of the hospital.

eighth and ninth vertebrae. The pressure
was thereby removed from the spinal cord.
The patient was in a good condition last
evening and it is thought that he will regain
the power of walking
James Hillman, of East Mines, had his

some life into the meeting He paid com
pliments 70 George J. WadlinRer, Esq, and
urged that that gentleman be elected Judge.
We don't want any more ghosts on the
bench, " said he. The remark caused puzzled
expressions TO sweep over the faces Of the
auditors Then Mr. Ulrich went at the
Democratic boilers Of 1896 iu a manner that
must have caused chills to pass through the
frames Of the bolters in attendance The
renegades Of 1896 Mr. Ulrich called them.
Hon. w H. Sowden, that humorous, good
natured old gentleman Of Allentown who
has so frequently spoken here during cam
paigns, was next introduced He told a very
funny story and got thoroughly worked up
on his subject, but he could not get the
audience worked up, and Congressman Ryan,
who WAS the last speaker was no more
succt ssful. There was an icy spirit in the
hall that could not be wiped, and the meet
ing as whole was as good a last card for the
Republicans As they could wish for.

Cincinnati. Nov. There are six
candidates for governor being voted
for In Ohio today. Three OF them claim
their election Is sure. The Jones vote
will reduce the vote Of all others, in
Sluding that OF the Prohibitionists, the
Union Reform and the Social Labor
tickets, and the result depends very
materially on where most OF the Jones
vote will come from. II Is certain that
either George K. Nash, Republican. or
John r. Mclean, Democrat, will be
elected. If Jones pulls more from the
Democrats than from the Republicans,
the prediction Of Chairman Dick that
Judge Nash will have $4,000 plurality
may be realized. But If Chairman Sew
ard is correct in assuming that Jones
will draw much more heavily from the
Republicans than from the Democrats,
then Mclean will be elected. The Dem
ocratic managers have made much
capital out of the fact that Jones here
tofore has been a Republican, that he
was himself connected with trust,
and that he would not pledge himself
to vote for Bryan in 1900.
As Ohio is normally a Republican
state, Jones could draw more heavily
from the Republicans and still not
affect the result were 1t not for the
factional feeling, which may also cost
Judge Nash some Republican votes. 1t
is conceded that all votes that can be
controlled by Governor Bushnell, eX-
Chairman Kurtz and other anti-Hanna
Republicans will be cast for Mclean,
but this factional work may not ex-
| tend to others on the Republican state
ticket. Meantime the gold Democrats
as well as the Bryan Democrats, arc
supporting Mclean and there is nc
factional fuss among the Democrats
The campaign has been bitter, dirty
and full of charges and counter
charges.

A Shortage of Coal.

The Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron
Company has less coal on hand now than it
has had at this period of the year for long
time. There is decrease of over $50, 600
tons, and at Port Richmond, where there is
generally from 100000 to 25O, 900 tons, there
is about 5000 tons only. This shortage pre-
walls all over the country, but it is said this
company has more orders than the rest and
has considerable trouble in filling them.

LAST NIGHTS MEETING.

The local Democrats fired their final guns
of the campaign last night. Ferguson's
theatre was hired for the purpose, but much
smaller place would have fully accommodated
the audience that was present. Instead of
being "a grand Democratic rally" it was
test of sentiment that resulted adversely to
the Democratic party. The meeting lacked
enthusiasm as well as numbers Freuuent
appeals we're made before the speaking COM
menced, and while it was in progress, to get
the people who hung about the entrance to
the auditorium to take front seats, but there
was no disposition to comply with the ap-
peals. Ii was one of the most lukewarm
Democratic public meetings ever held in the
town, and certainly not the kind of meet
ing to bear cut the boasts of the Democrats
that they will sweep the county to-day.
Only one of the candidates on the Demo-
cratic ticket occupied seat on the stage. He
was NJ. P. McLoughlin Esq, the candidate
for District Attorney. The chairman of the
meeting was Thomas J. Mullahy and he in
troduced Mr.. Mclaughlin as the first spea ker.
His address was brief one. He challenged
an inspection Of his record and predicted that
he would be elected.
James A. Stranahan, Esq, was the next
speaker. Great expectations hinged on his
appearance, but his address was a disappoint-
ment. 1t lacked force aud was by no means
the display of oratory looked for. At no
time during the address was there more than
a suggestion of oratory, and no one saw more
clearly than Mr.. Stranahan that he had
| failed to arouse the sentiment desired.

THE GOVERNOR a POLITI-
CLAN.

In his speech at Elkton Mr. Rayner
said Il cannot admit that Governor
Lowndcs is non partisan. He is high
ly respectable politician, but | challenge
him for proof in support of his non-parti-
sanship. The people would respect him
in higher degree if he frankly admitted
that he was using every effort to fortify
his party, and incidentally to secure his
own political advancement. The indie
pendent voters whose suffrage he is i'm
port uning admire candor, and you cannot
ensnare them through craft and dissimula-
ton He has done far better than we ever
our gratitude for disappointing US. 1 am
not criticising his appointments, but |
simply stand upon the proposition that in
the exercise of his prerogative he has
used precisely the same adroitness that
other politicians do who are building up
their political fortunes. Sometime ago
the Governor issued bold proclamation
that he had concluded not to appoint a
successor to Police Commissioner Schry-
yer, when every lawyer at the bar who
understands the first rudiments of his
profession knew that under the statute the
incumbent held over until the next Gen
eral Assembly, and that the Governor had
no right to make an appointment. l am
fond of Governor Lowndes, but let him
divest himself of his wig and his powder
and his paint and come out in the natural
colors that he appears in when he takes
his place as the recognized leader of a po-
with whom reform is mockery and a de-
rision"
