Il think it would he very unwise for Bryan to
stump Kentucky. am n Democrat. and am

Bryan coming to Kentucky, In tho first place.
all Kentucky is now for Bryan. and there is no
need OF him. In the second place. should he
come it can not hut result in doing him HARM
for he would necessarily make enemies Of the
anti-Goebelites. who now IRE for him.
Il saw Bryans wife while in Washington
and told her that thought it would be bad
thing for her husband to canvas Kentucky
she agreed with me. saying she did not APP
prove OF it at all.
BRYAN would be in positive danger should
he stump the State Kentucky people are of

The Weather Bureau at Washington had not

found a lane Of low pressure and swept cast

The cloudcd skies and chill mort hoaster seen

The conditions last night from Florida to
