CAMPAIGN In KENTUCKY.
1t viii Re Formally Opened throughout
State September 3,
DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE ENCOURAGED
The Assassiuat ion of Governor Goe-
bel Completely Turned the tide
In Favor of the Democrats.
Special to The Post.)

Louisville, KY, September 1.-The cam
paign committees OF both parties have
completed their list OF speakers for the
formal opening OF the campaign through
out the State on September 8. Nom ace
Yerkes OF the republican party will speak
at Bowling Green. while Governor Beck
ham and Ex-Governor McCreary VIII
speak at Henderson.
The democratic committee is particu-
larry encouraged over the outlook in the
State. even THIS early, and add that each
day is adding to the democratic strength.
The Assassination Of Governor Goebel has
completly turned the tide and it Is be-
coming more apparent all the time that
the anti Goeb.l democrats will support
the ticket. with but few exceptions, IA
the coming elections. The opp siuon 70
Bryan is nothing like It was in 1886, and
in the two or three meetings Il the Brown
democrats, or ant4-Goebel people, they
have In each instance declared for the Ne
blasioln tor pro sident although lavoring
Yerkcs, the republican nominee, tor suV-
ern- r. While Bryan will pol larger
vote than Beckham, the committee, oas-
ing IT. opinion upon authentic reports
from various parts OF the State, say most
OF the democrats opposing Goebe in the
last election Will vote for Beckham and
that not more than 20 per cent of the
votes-even II that percentage is reached
will fail to support the democratic NOM
inee. They say that the close votes II
last year was due to failure of the dem
ocrats to vote rather than an opposition
to Goebel, for the latter only got 49,, 3Sl

HARRY sTEINFELDT.
Texan Is Playing Great Game of
Bali.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
Probably no young player In the country
has shown more Improvement this season
than Harry steinfeldt. His stops and
throws Of hard hit balls In many games
have been truly wonderful. As thrower
there is not an inhelder in the National
league who is in his class. He makes
many plays that other inheldsrs could not
think OF accomplishing. Last year he did
not appear TO such gJod advantage, and IL
was doubtless due to the fact that he was
switched around a great deal, and was not
sure OF his position at any time. Under
such circumstances q man can not really
be expected To do himself justice. This
year the Texan has not made singla
dumb play. and time and again he mas
been cheered for accompS ishing seemingly
impossible plays by his quick, snappY
throws. Steinfeldt has always been popu-
lar personally. and no young player mas
more friends and well wishers IN the base
ball profession, He Is not 100 smart to
learn, and has taken McGraw's advice in
reference to his position at the bat. The
Texan now stoops q bit and gets line on
the ball He has also cultivated a free
overland swing at the bat, and his efforts
have been much better than when he
formerly swung at the sphere in jerky,
underhanded way He is not the fastest
man in the country on the bases. but with
proper coaching he will pilfer many bases.
II he continues to improve in the future
as he has in the past, he viii soon be
among the 300 bays in batting His aver
age is now better than that of some mon
who rank as stars in the big league, He
Is valuable man to the club, and can
play either third base. shortstop or second
base. He was criticised in these columns
on his last years form. and 1t must be
Acknowledged that his work this year
has been fine. II all his team mates had
done as we'll the club would now be high
er IN the race, Steinfeldt Is not a gutter.
and by his hard work ana conscientious
Efforts has made friends of those who
were once opposed to him as a player, Tie
Texan will be here next year. no matter
who is the manager.

shoulder. In any event the public will
be slow to believe that the whole truth
has been told about Jeffries during al
these negotiations. II 1t be true chat he
was really in condition a few days before
the Sharkey- Fitzsmmons fight, It seems
strangely improbable that he should have
permitted himself to let down SO com
pletely and so suddenly as 10 be cut nr
condition Yesterday with no chance of
regaining form In time to fiEht Friday
night. The question TO answer Isl Has
Brady been acting in good faith concern
ing his proposals to have Jeffries meet
the winner OF the Fitzsimmons-S harkey
contest?"
The question as to whether Fitzsim-
mons suddenly adopted resolution to re-
tire from the ring is wise one or not is
altogether another matter. 1t Is not
always wise for man to contend very
stubbornly even for what he may be-
lieve to be his rights and 1t IS by no
means certain that 1t Is wise for the
Cornshman because Jeffres is not ready
to fight him Friday night He is clearly
in form now. and with nothing more
formidable than Jeffries in the pugilistic
horizon 1t looks as though he had all
excellent chance TO win back the world
championship in form as we'll as in fact.
and completely put to silence all questou
TO his title. This OF course. would mean
some delay. and IL is not easy to tell
lust how long one obstacle after another
ght delay the meeting Fitzsimmons
is certainly old enough to retire from
the ring and should he adhere to his
present determination 1t is not probable
