Yesterday Judge E. c. O'Rear,

Appeals, passed over the dead
line. In order to a choice I4o
and fraction votes are necessary
and the Judge won in L e yester-
day, giving him a total on first in;
structions. I4I, with Is second
instructions. These figures give
Judge O'Rear without question
the nomination. There are yet
six counties, with 50 votes, to hold
conventions and doubtless O'Rear
will receive a majority Of them.
Burns has hfty-siX first instruc-
tons and nine second, and Aux

This man O'Rear, has his fingers

Appellate Judge in this, the 9TH,

wall in front Of the school room,
eating his sandwich Of corn bread

tunate companions ate Of biscuits,
preserves and pie, this boy want
ed pie and determined he would
have it. The wheat has been
ground TO -four, the ingredients
prepared and in the Republican
nomination he viii possess that
pie and eat to his fill. Judge
O'Rear's friends are jubilant.
Judge ORear is one of the
strongest men the Republicans
have, and Democrats may make
up their minds that to defeat him

GUNS, PAST AND PRESENT.
Interesting Little Study in an Up-to-
Date Etymology.

Interesting Little Study in an Up-to-
Date Etymology.
Evolution Of the word "gun" forms
an interesting little study in up-to-
date etymology. A dozen or so years
ago we all understood gun TO mean
fowling plece-shotgun, as distin-
guished from o rife or a musket-
Heavy and light ordnance-in fact,
all pieces Of artillery, without regard
TO size-were known as cannon. That,
Of course, was IN the confines of civil
zntion, where people made an effort
to speak English.
Out IN the frontier the word gun
ws applied almost exclusively to pis-
tolls, and when q citizen of Tombstone
or Deadwood invited another citizen
10 "pull his gun" he wa understood
to refer to the 45-caliber instrument
worn as a chatelaine-bat ornament
by everybody IN good society in tbose
localities. say. the New York TeIs-
graph.
Nowadays the nomenclatuB has
curiously changed. by degrees the
good old term gun has become mo-
nopolized by the long, slim, murdkr-
Gus machines that constituts our mod
ern artillery. We speak Of quich-lrs
guns, w1rewound guns automatic
guns eightAnch, ten-inch, twelve
inch guns, and the word seems singu-
larry apropos. They are NOT cannon.
Cannon" Immediately suggests the
big, numbering, blaok-throated smooth
,bores of the past.
The word contures up all sorts of
antique martial pictures -motionless
men holding lighted matches, frigates
lashed together and firing into each
others ports, Sepoy bound to the
muzzle, neat geometric pyramids of
round shot in the neat geometric
pyramids, the light brigade, and
lots Of other things too numerous 10

RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE.
Expansion of This Great Government
Department Since 1894.

Department Since 1884.
The expansion Of mail service by
rail is illustrated by the facts that
in the year 1884, there were rs miles
of railroad in the United States on
which mails were carried, and now
there are 174,777. OF mail of all
classes distributed by railway postal
clerks, there were in 1898 10, ,225,-
706,220 pieces of second-class mail
(newspapers). There were in 1898,
not including free in country, 1885,
126,33S pounds. Each of the pieces
is, Of course, handled several times;
nevertheless, the vast number repre-
sents actual work.
But the functions of the railway
mail service are not confined to the
control Of its own employees, for all
post Offices receive their instructions
from the officers of this service in
regard to the making up and dispatch
Of mail, and as to the time it should
be sent and by what routes.
The railway mail service is the me-
dium of practically all business with
the railway companies except finan-
cial.
This vast business comes first, Of
course, under the control of the post
master general, Hon. Charles Emory
Smith, who, in his career as an active
journalist and manager, has had oc-
casion TO know somewhat OF the rail-
way mail service, and none the less
so now that he is the head of the whole
postal affairs Of the nation.
Next to the postmaster general in
the line of the railway mail service
comes Hon. ". Shellenberger, who
has charge of all transportation,
whether by dogsleq or reindeer in
Alaska, in saddle bags on mules
among mining camps, or by stage
coach, or by steamboats, or fast ex-
press trains. Mr.. sheifenbdrger
came to his post with large expert
ence gained in congress and other
wise, which has doubtless contributed
in no small degree to his successful
work.
The infringement Of the railroad
and steamboat service devolves upon
the general superintendent Of the rail-.
way mail service, Capt. James Z.
White, wounded veteran of the
army, and a veteran of the railway
mail service, through which he has
worked his way from the ranks. There
is every indication that the future
has in store for this great service a
career no less prosperous than the
past.-R. G. Jackson, in Frank Les
lies Popular Monthly
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1900-05-29

The report that w. S. Taylor
has accepted a position Of insur-
ance agent, is accepted as correct
and may prove another misht, for
it would be as difficult to adjust
Taylor to a successful insurance
agency as it would be to the Gov
ernorship of Kentucky. Better
have his picture made and sell it
to cigarette makers with the name
cold Taylor"

CONVENTIONS.
There viii Be Two Democratic
Conventions.
Resolutions Favor Cancellation Of
Democratic Factions.

The Democratic State Centra'
Committee met at Frankfort or
Thursday.
A convention to nominate del
egates to the Kansas City Conven-
ton will be held at Louisville June
18th. County conventions TO Sc
lect delegates will be held. June 9.
Then July 10Th was chosen as the
time to nominate candidate for
Governor and Lexington will be
the place. Precinct conventions
to select delegates will be held
July I4th. The following official
call was issued: ;:..-,,..s ss,--.....
Ali legal voters devoted to the
principles of the Democratic party
and desiring to see those princi-
pies succeed, and who. by partici-
pating, feel in honor bound to sup
port the nominees, have right to
participate. The Democrats of
Kentucky are law-abiding and
peace-loving people. They wei
come, not repel from their associ-
ation those Kentuckians who love
liberty and justice, and who hate
crime. Under the Republican
rule the civil arm of the State Gov
ernment was struck down and
military usurpation set up in its
place, Under Republican rule,
murder was maze tne weapon OF
party warfare and Republican Of
fcials obstructed and dehed the
courts in their efforts to discover
and punish its authors. In view
of these things we invite every
Kentucllian who remains q true
Kentuckian, and without regard
to former political affiliations, to
Join with us in stamping out their
possible recurrence and share with
us the glory Of redeeming the honor
of the State, and reviving the
memory of the patriots and sages
who in its better days made it
prosperous, illustrious and happy.
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1900-05-29

Kentucky Democrats together,
everyone one of them, the gold,
silver, Goebel and antiGoebel and
we would say, brethren lets get
together; better make some sort OF
a sacrifice than to have worse.
Republican rule, we have had a
foretaste of and it is bitter enough.
Can't Democrats get together and
work for our country's good.

Recently our paper stated a
fact in regard TO a hanging speech
made at the Court House. In
commenting on it the Gazette says:
"The youthful editor of the AD-
ri says; 1--WE are ashamed
of him for such an utteFance'
Major Wood cares very little aDcu'
the opinion of the aforesaid youth
full editor, and is not apt to lose
any sleep over his criticism. We
are astonisned, though, that the
editor of the ADVOCATE is asham-
ed Of any thing. 1t seems to US
that a man who can unblushingly
endorse Goebelism in all of its
horrible rottenness and corruption,
and who endorses the wholesale
stealing OF the State Offices, is lost
TO all sense Of shame"
We have had no reason to
change our mind in regard to the
gentleman for the delivery of such
a speech. Such speeches about
"wading in blood knee deep"
"killing Goebep and hanging
that Committee to the limb Of a
tree" are unworthy of utterance
by any man or men who desire
the best interest Of a community
or State, and no doubt had their
influence in perfecting the plot to
murder Mr.. Goebel, and will fos-
ter the mob spirit that has already
brought disgrace upon our State.
Vengeance is mine, l will re-
pay. saith the Lord. "
There are constituted authorities
for the avengcing of our wrongs
and the adjustment Of our difficult
ties, and no man who fears God
is at liberty to say | will help hang
him or them to a limb of tree or
I advocate killing this one or that
one or the Democratic members Of
a Legislature.
Again say, / am ashamed Of
these expressions which lead TO
murder and wholesale assassina-
ton. We have no criticism to
make against the editor Of the
Gazette for saying eve are aston
ished, though, that the editor Of
the ADVOCATE is ashamed of any
thing" and our being "1ost to all
sense Of shame. "
Some editors and other gentle
men have said much derogatory
to Mr.. Goebel and Goebelism.
While Mr.. Goebel was alive we
could not see in him the many un-
worthy traits ascribed to him by
his opponents, and now that his
voice has been stilled and his
labors as a public servant closed
by an assassin or assasins, some
of whom as State Republican ofic-
ials have been accused of or in
dicted for his murder, we think
that editors and others should re-
frain from heaping insults and ig-
