abroad. He says:
THE advices that | have received from
Kentucky make me believe that the Nc
Kinley Electors will receive majority Of
the votes cast in that state.
THE real, simon.pure Democrats of
Kentucky, have no sympathy with either
Organism or GoebeIism. Bryan, in his
trip through Kentucky, identified him
self with Goebelsm and drove away
from his support the real Democracy of
the state. The candidacy of Mr.. Bryan
on the Kansas City platform is in oppo-
sition to the principles oftrue Democracy,
and his election would be a menace to
civil liberty. am not going to take the
stump for anybody, but shall do what
| can to secure the reelection Of Mr.. Nc
Kinley.
THE Goebe law is remarkable meas.
ure. While the vote for Governor in
manv precincts was thrown out, it was
allowed to stand as far as it related to
members of the Legislature. The latter
elected ]. c. S. Blackburn to the United
States Senate, but | can not conceive
that that body will seat him. | think
that am not exaggerating when l say
! that at the election in which Mr. Goebel
was a candidate for Governor 20 per
cent of the honest vote of the state was
thrown out and nullhed to permit the
issuing of certificate to him. A similar
state of facts would prevail this year but
for the fact that Congress can take a
hand in investigating the returns. Goeb-
elism means that it matters not how the
people may vote, so long as Goebelites
can do the counting. The Republicans
might carry every county in the state
but one, and then the State Election
Commissioners could, with only that
one county, legally declare the electoral
vote for Bryan. Whether the Goebelites
would dare to do this remains to be
seen, as their action would be subject
to review by Congress"
Republicans Hopeful of Greater New
York.
The large registration should stimulate
the Republicans of this city to greater
activity than ever, for it holds out the
hope not only of carrying the greater
city for Mckinley but of gaining severa
congressman. There is a current running
for Mckinley now that can be stimu
lated to tidal wave dimensions. i
might be even possible to elect Judg'
Blanchard to the Supreme Court bencl
il the necessary effort were made. Few
people believed four years ago that Thu
county would give Mckinley pluralit,
OF 81 900, but it did, and it might be IN
duced to repeat the surprise this year
