The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1899-08-01

The Cincinnati Enquire with its
systematic methods of gathering
news is authority that not one
Democratic paper in Kentucky
favorS anti Goebelism or the can
didacy Of Hon. John Young
Brown. Such fact is a positive
indication Of the feeling of Ken
lucky Democrats. We therefore
conclude and the conclusion is
justihable that Kentucky notwith-
ing some disaffection will stand in
line with Democracy. 1t is true
that we hear much in regard to
dissatisfaction but it is only this
kind that is reported at all. For
instance, the report went out from
Winchester that 800 voters pro-
tested against the Louisville Con
vention. Less than one-third Of
that number actually participated
in the said indignation meeting.
Such meeting with such leaders
could be rallied after most any
State Convention and this but in
dicates the opposition to Mr.. Goe.
bel in Clark county as being very
weak. Again, in the. city Of Lex
ington, Fayette county holds
what is purported to be an indig-
nation meeting, this also showed
the weakness Of anti-Goebel fol-
lowing for there were only I25
persons, including Democrats,
Republicans and other people from
other organizations and this too
out of population in a city alone
Of more than 40, 900, where the
press Of the city is either Repub-
lican or mugwump. The indica-
tons are therefore as we read it
growing brighter each day for the,
Democratic nominees and it'would
not astonish us if Goebel polled
the largest Democratic vote in
years.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1899-08-01

Those Democrats so ConSCien-
tious that they can not support the
present Democratic ticket, and
who are looking for place where
they can vote righteously, might
consider the bid the Populists are
making for their support. In fact
it seems to US they haYe gone to
the trouble and expense to fix up
and care for them. This party con-
firms the diSafected Democray on
the question of bad treatment at
the Louisville convention. They
talk about bossism, and reminded
us very much Of that fellow who is
always talking of town cliques, of
the green spots of the Sahara, Of
ghosts, etc. Yet they talk very
nicely, using good English, as they
appeal to the passions Of defeated
Democrats. The fact is this party
can do as well in accomplishing
the ends of the ants as any other
organization existing or to be Gre
ated. There may be some doc
trines not very palatable, but what
is that to a people who are striving
for the destruction Of party they
have loved long and by which many
of their number have been hon
ored

RAILROADS.

OF the railroad enterprise Of
which we spoke last week the
people are becoming interested.
Already some of them along the
proposed line have given the
right Of way; some have made
subscriptions and others have in.
Dictated that they would. A road
constructed from here to a point
of connection with the L. & E.
Railroad between Clay City and
L. & E. junction would at once
create competition which would
be saving in freight to the farmer
and the business men in the city
of more than one-half Of what they
now pay, and this in a few years
would more than aggregate the
amount Of money asked for in
bonds from the people Of this coun-
ty. 1t is therefore a good invest
ment and our people will not be
slow to see it. With this decreased
freight rate our people could meet
any competition and business
would therefore be largely increas-
ed. We would be glad for this
matter to be settled at once that
the construction Of the road may
be begun and rushed to speedy
completion.
