A SENSIBLE STATEMENT.
Ed. Mlliet, Of OwensbOrO, Tells the
Cincinnati Enquirer that Bryan
and Beckham Will Carry
Kentucky.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)


10 the Enquirer man Col. Ed. Millet
Of Owensboro, said; II have been told
by reliable citizens of Indiana" said he,
"that the German voters Of that State
are going TO resent at the polls the re
fusal Of Governor Mount TO honor the
requisition Of the Governor of Kentucky
for w. S. Taylor, indicted as one Of the
conspirators in the assassination of Goe-
bel, who was Of German parentage. II
this is true, it will give the State TO the
Democrats by large majority, for there
is heavy German vote, and nearly all
Of them, as / understand il, voted for
Mckinley. There is also considerable
German vote in Kentucky.
How do think our State will go?
Il believe Mr.. Bryan will carry it, and
that he will carry Beckham along with
him, il the Legislature enacts a salts
factory election law. IL is my opinion
that 50 per cent. of the anti Goebel men
will vote for Beckham, but the remain
ing 10 per cent are still in revolt. / be
lieve that fully 5000 Gold Democrats
have already returned to the regular
Democratic party, which will make a
difference Of 10000. The Democrats had
a great opening campaign meeting at
Henderson. and Governor Beckham was
received with enthusiasm. There is now
no place for a man TO stand in our State
except IN the Democratic or Republican
ranks. This will be greatly in favor Of
the Democrats"

This Trick Too Transparent.

1t is to avoid meeting the paramount
issue, which goes to the very existence
Of free institutions, that the Republican
leaders are now endeavoring -even at
the cost of confessing themselves either
fools or knaves-to rehabilitate the old
free silver scare-crow which they found
so effective in the closing days of the
1896 campaign. There are some tricks,
however, which can be successfully
played but once. And this is one of
them,

NEWS ABOUT STAMPS.

An innovation in the postal service
which is sure to be Of great conven-
ience is a plan lately adopted of fur
nishing stamps in little books, with
wax sheets between them. The gov
ernment is to charge one cent addi-
tional to the amount of stamps con-
tained therein. and it is now estimat-
ed that the profit on these books will
amount to $2OO,OO9 per annum. 1t is also
estimated that the sum paid for the
Private Revenue Stamps placed over
the top Of the bottles containing Hos
letters Bitters very nearly equals this.
The Bitters is reliable remedy for
constipation, indigestion. dyspepsia,
biliousness, liver and kidney troubles.
1t may be depended upon to cure stom-
aeh disorders, having done so for the
past fifty years.
