crOker'S Prediction,

1T was very satisfactory, said Rich
ard Croker after the Bryan meetings in
New York. 1T was an answer to trust
government. l never saw anything
like it, never saw such crowds in New
York or such enthusiasm, and l have
been in politics thirty-five years. Why,
when Cleveland was elected President
We had only one meeting. We did not
dare have any more. And we gave rs, 900
in this city. We could have
had ten other meetings last night as big
as those four.
The Democratic majority south Of
the Harlem river November will be
100. 900. Last nights demonstration
to Mr.. Bryan convinces me that the
State will go Democratic by an over
majority"

PROF. Il. o. KINGS reply to his Fox
alley critics, found in another column,
is certainly a singing arraignment Of
certain Republicans of Ohio county
In their efforts to crush an honest
man for expressing his honest cOnvic-
tiOns. That a Grand Army Post should
so stultify its name as to allow its
private records to be used to promote
"a political scheme, is Il disgrace alike
to its members and to the cause which
II is supposed to uphold. This incl
dent serves to confirm the suspicion
which rests in the minds of many pcO-
pie that the majority Of the G. a. II.
Posts are simply Republican clubs.

CENTERTOWN, KY.
Especial to rHR HERALD

Oct. 20. Hon. c. NJ. Barnett and r..
r. Wedding spoke to II crowd of about
100 at the school house here Saturday,
October 20. Mr.. Barnett opened the
discussion and was followed by Mr..
Wedding. Both speakers were mild
enough in their treatment of the issues
Mr.. Barnett devoted most of his time to
National issues. He reviewed that
period Of time from Clevelands first
administration to the present. He told
us that the hard times under Mr..
Cleveland's first term were brought
about, not by vicious legislation, but by
fear. The nature or cause Of this fear
we did not learn. We suppose it was n
certain vague fear Of everything in
general and nothing in particular. Then
came Harrison and resolved financial
chaos into order again, only to be follow
ed by the Dem ocratic despoilers, under
Clevelands second administration He
told us nothing about the prices of hogs
and cattle part of the time under
Cleveland, but some Of us remember
that hogs sold at one time during that
period for more than they have since,
and that the same was true Of cattle.
When be entered npou the present aa-
ministration he could not do the case
justice. No doubt these be prosperous
times for man that has fat govern
ment job like Mr.. Barnett's. But when
he said that in these good times he could
get all the money he wanted from any
Of the farmers present, one could but
cast an eye over the audience and try to
learn what the crowd was yelling about.
1t Is passing strange why men that have
not had a square meal in their house in
twelve months, will cheer such state
ments. He did not say anything about
the increased cost of living, but that
was not part of his job He failed to
tell us that dollar now buys only II
IBIS of sugar, whereas under Cleveland
it stood for 90 pounds He said nothing
about five-dollar fencing wire or nails,
and how the people broke mp the trust
on these articles by refusing to use
them. He said that Bryan in his Chi
cago labor.day speech told the people
they were paving too much for bread,
and in three days told the Kansas far
mer he was not getting enough for his
wheat. The crowd seemed not TO de-
tect the sophistry Of the speakers talk
for they yelled vociferously at this
statement designed to place Mr.. Bryan
in questionable attitude. The speaker
said not word about what Mr.. Bryan
told his audience concerning the trust
that had stepped in between the Kansas
farmer and the Chicago laborer and
that cuts as a two-edged sword The
speaker next undertook to justify Ne
Kinleys Philippine policy. The plan
was unique. The audience yelled 1t
was this way, quoting the speakers
words as nearly as l can; Ladies' and
you know the Philippine war
is right, for your own Oscar Bishop is
engaged in it." Continuing on this
subject the speaker told us that there is

reSerre, the evident tacit understand
ing between Taylor and his colleagues
that Mr.. Goebel must be killed in or
der to establish the Republicans in
power.
1t means that you endorse, without
any sort of mental reservation, the
encouragement and maintenance CIV
en- the mountain feudsts to remain
in Frankfort for a well understood
purpose, which was only partially ac-
complished when Nr. Goebel was as
sasSinated by a shot fired from the ex-
ecutive building occupied by Taylor
and his murderous gang.
1t means that you believe Taylor
did exactly right when he refused to
allow anybody to search the premises
from whence the deadly shot was fired,
and thus afforded the assassin sure
means Of escape. Endorsing this act
of Taylor's, you also sanction his
course in refusing our legislative body
a hall in which to meet, and having
its members driven by bayonets OF a
Republican militia through the streets
Of the State Capital. You also APP
plaud the inSurrection which Taylor
created and which resulted in the Su-
preme Court Of the State being driven
to Louisville for safety, its Democrat
ic Chief Justices under open menace
and in danger of their lives: the repu-
diation of the sacred writ of bdbedS
corpus by Taylor: the order for the as
sembling Of the Legislature in a re-
mote mountain town, that Mr.. Goe-
bells assassins might complete their
work of removing all Democratic OPP
position-these are things which you
are asked to endorse, irithOld reSerre.
1t means, Kentucky voter, that in
placing your stencil beneath the log
cabin this year, you endorse, ,rthom
reSerre, every lawless aud incendiary
act Of TaylOr's, from the assembling
of the mountain feudists to the def
ance OF every law in the State, and
direction of a condition of atfairswhich
unquestiOnably resulted in the cow
ardly assassination of William Goebel.
There is no evading the issue under
the proof and the circumstances. 1t
means this and nothing less.
Personally, Mr.. Yerkes may or may
not be a good man. That has nothing
to do with the case. 1t has been
clearly demonstrated that he is in
close sympathy with Taylor and the
other Republican leaders in their law
less methods, and if elected to office,
he would be dOminated-no doubt
willingly-by their influence. His
election would mean further contin-
uance of that policy which has made
Kentucky Republicanism the syno-
nym for lawlessness and political muir
der, and reproach to the Nation.
The man who places his stencil be-
meath the rooster, endorses the majes-
ty of the law, and sanctions the peace
full and law-abidlng course of the
Democrats, which has done more than
else to maintain the good
name of the State. He thereby de-
nOunces assassination for the sake Of
office, and places himself upon the
side of peace and good order.
1t ought not to be difficult job for
any loyal, law-abiding Kentuckian tol
decide this year as to under what de-
vice he will place his stencil mark.

become operative until next year, on
account of the late hour Of its enact

made a law for the coming election
but for the opposition Of the Repub-

Senate, who held a majority in that
body. These ObstructiOnists succeed

pointed out last week-Of preventing
a repeal Of the GOebel law this year.
The bill could have been passed as
easily two weeks ago as it was last

made the most sensational address yet
delivered in the State by Republican.
The room was filled with colored and
white Republicans and his utterances
were applauded. Senator Mills, in re-
ferring to the assassination Of Gov.
Goebel. said:
'In Wisconsin, the law sanctions the
shooting of hog thief when caught in
the act, and there is no punishment il
the man is killed. Goebel was stealing

NOT content with impugning the
character Of every man who dsagrees
with them politically, the Republican
papers exhaust the dictionary for
words OF abuse and would even be
more scurrilous and obscene than they
are, were it not that prison bars stare
them in the face through the penal
ties of the postal laws. This is espe-
cially true of the organ here at Hart
ford. 1t has used the most vile Ian
guage in describing its political OppO-
nents which the law will permit, and
only haltS at the more foul and insult
ing terms because Of the laws penal
ties. According to its views, no man
can be good christian or loyal
member and oppose latter-day
RepublcaniSm. To be a Democrat,
damns ones soul both here and here
after, and for a christian gentleman
to cspOuSe the cause Of Democracy,
straightway brands him as a base
hypOcrite. This is the doctrine OF the

ty-aS personally viewed from hand

IT is significant fact that all the
cajoling and persuasion which the
Republican leaders can bring to bear.
cannot get ex-President Harrison out
on the stump for Mckinley. The ex-
President will not use his influence
in any way to promulgate 'the modern
idea Of Republicanism. He simply
says McKinley's policy is "a grave de-
parture from the correct principles, "
and leaves the public to guess what
he really thinks. General Harrison,
like many other good and loyal Re-
publicans, does not feel that this is
the year for men who love the Repub-
lie TO over-exercise themselves for the
Republican ticket.
