PAYING TIE PRICE.

This clear cut, vigorous article
from the Kansas City Times states
the political situation so accurately
that it should be read by every Amer
lean voter;
When William jennings Bryan ran
for President "a little more than three
years ago he told the people that the
triumph OF the political party headed
by Hanna and iiguroheaded by Nc
Kinley meant the triumph OF Wall

have emerged from Wall street, since

tions hung up his hat on the White

OLD MEN IN THE SENATE.

of late he has participated but little

louisville, KY, Novmeber 3.-Governor
Benton McNfillin, of Tennessee, addressed
a large crowd at Music hall tonight In the
interest of the candidacy of william Goebel
for governor on the democratic ticket. Gov
ernor McMilin was warmly received. He
urged loyal support of the regular nominee
on the ground that the welfare of the
party demanded 1t.

DDS or not, you know that Goebel is the one
man in the democratic party of Kentucky
who can lead you to victory against the re-
the welfare the immediate future of the
party in this state depends upon your 10y
atty and you cannot and will not as men
and Kentuckians desert your leader in the
face of the enemy"
In beginning his speech Governor McMilin
referred to the last time he was in the
Music hall at the convention that nomi-
mated John Young Brown for governor.
Stone had been his colleague and friend for
ten years in the house of representatives,
declared the governor. He supported Har-
din in 1895 and now. he came to help Goebe1
as he would to Stone or Hardin had either
been nominated.
The present fight in Kentucky he said,
was but the clash of the skirmish lines
which would bring on the general battle Of
1900. The present fight was one of the ques-
tfons, not of men, and no man was big
enough to be weighed in the scale with the
success or failure of the questions at is
