The Real Danger in henfuckS.-
! Some of the Democratic managers are be-
! ginning 70 fear that the real danger in
Goebelism turks behind the big Republican
| majority in the Fifty-siXth Congress
| Whether or not the legislature at Frank
fort finally seats GOebel the bearing of
the case on the Presidential contest this
year will not be removed if the struggle for
the Presidency is sufficiently close to make
the Kentucky electoral vote the determin-
ing factor The Tucker act of 1887 has
never been invoked, but it is said that Re
publicans in both the Senate and House
now view that statute with hope when
anything occurs to suggest the probability
of such a condition at the end of the
Presidential campaign as would make the
thirteen votes of the Bluegrass State nee
essary to the reelection of Mr. Mckinley
The Tucker law invests Congress with the
power to act as a returning board in the
case of any State in which doubt is thrown
on the result of the electoral vote through
any cause. The much exploited GOebel
election law may be regarded as just cause
for contesting the Kentucky vote in the
event that the Democrats carry the State.
L
ter the lawmakers. sitting as the court of
last resort under the terms of the Tucker
act, would have the power either to throw
out the vote or declare which ticket had
carried the State That this will be done
regardless of how the Kentucky Legslat-
ure decides the GOebel-Taylor contest
many Democrats appear to have well
grounded cause of fear The Goebel cleo
tiou law is now being contested in the
Kentucky courts. If the State courts up
hold that law the Presidential election
will be held under it and this would give
the Republicans an excuse for bringing the
matter before Congress. The agitation, of
course has not been started for any effect
one way or the other, on the Taylor Goebel
contest, because unless the State goes Re-
publican in November the Congressional
menace would beset its electoral vote any
how. 1t is hinted however. that the
question has been raised at this time in or
der. if possible, to deter Colonel Bryan
from visiting Frankfort during the pres
ent contests in the courts and legislature
upon which. it is thought his presence
would have some effect not favorable to the

It's all over NOW. The result of cleo
ton Is gratifying indeed to all who
have been upholding the administra-
hon of President Mckinley and the
patriotic policies that have been car
ried II by him. The overwhelming |
verdict OF the great American people |
is decisive in favor of MclIinley's pro-
gressive policy. which encourages en-
terprise and brings pru~prrity, and is
a crushing blow to Organism. which
sought to array class against class. to
create hatred and distrust among our
people, 10 arnuSe ,iiscorl and disorder ;
and to bring dis;lonor aud ,lismay to
our country. its liag and it's people.
The victory Of the republican party is
therefore Joyful news. The great over
whelming majorities show how emphat-
lie the people 3re in their opinions as
to the issues Just presented. and will
arouse animosity and hatred between
the American people. Organism is
crushed and patriotism is raised higher
than ever. Now her the republican
party will 20 on as before doing it's

A CHINESE FORCE
STILL READY TO FIGHT

Washington. Aug. 27.-Late in the
day n dispatch was received at the
Japanese legation from the foreign Of
flee of Japan, conveying the latest and
most authentic information of the sit
uation in and around Pekin. In meas
ure the adviccs We're of Il disquieting
nature, as they Indicated that the Chi
nese had rallied their forces and We're
preparing for an attack upon the allies
In Peliin. If It should prove the allied
forces were besieged In Pekin, 1t would
account for. the lack of advices from
General Chaffee. As made public by
Minister Takahlra, the dispatch from
the japanese foreign office at Toxic is
ms follows:
AN official telegram. dated Pekin,
August 18th. was received mt Toxic
from General Iamaguchi, Commander
of the Japanese forces, TO the follow
ing effect:
THE capital is now entirely cleared
Of the enemy. A cavalry regiment
which had been sent 10 Wan Shau
Shan (where the Empress Dowagcr's
palace is located reports that the i'm
perial family, who had left Pekin Aug
ust 1Ith, started, after short rest at
Wan Shau Shan, for the west. and
We're under escort OF General Ma and
his troops, consisting Of only about 800
horsemen and twenty carts.
"The japanese forces occupied the
treasury department. In which over .,
100000 tnels In silver and a large guam
tlty or rice was found.
another telegraphlc dispatch. dated
Taku, August 23rd. states that as the
Chinese troops and Boxers who had
gathered at Nan Yuen We're about TO
attack the foreign forces at pekin. Jap.
ancse and Russian cavalry We're ex-
pccted 10 encounter them on the Goth.
The dispatch further states that Chi
nese Infantry. some 5000 strong, with
fifteen guns, are advancing from Shan
Tung to make n rear attack on the al
lies"
A copy OF the dispatch was trans
mitted TO Acting Secretary Adee. mt the
Department OF State. and by him fur
nished 10 the President. While the
news OF a possible rear attack upon the
comparatively small force OF the allies
was no, received with surprise. II gen
orally was not regarded as serious. as
the foreign forces Were believed To he
abundantly able to take care OF them
selves against any force OF Chinese
likely To be sent against them.

THE POPULATION
OF DENVER

Washington. Aug. 2S.-'rhe Twelfth
census population of Denver is 1873, $50.
In 1890 the population was 1O6, ,713.
showing an increase of 25.44 per cent.
In 1880 the population was 35,G29 The
increase from 1880 to 1890 was II ,OS4
or 1881 per cent.
The population by wards is: First. A.
GSS; Second. 5.91j; Third. S,021;
Fourth, 9,34; Fifth. 6.954; Sixth, 12,-
249; Seventh, 1921; Eighth. 1O,4O2;

In these ten years four suburbs haye
been annexed to Denver. These, with
their population. as given in the census
of 1880 are; Highlands, 5.161; South
Denver, 1.491; Barnum and Harman,
less than 1000 population. Estimating
the combined population of Barnum
and Harman in 1880 at 1,400, this
would make the combined population
of Denver and these suburbs. 114,115
In 1890 As these suburbs are now in
cluded in Denver. the Increase in the
territory covered by them and by the
town Is actually. 19.0S4. This, how
ever, makes no allowance for the very
large growth of unanncNed suburbs
populated by persons who are employ

is about to obtain what three gener-
ations bled for; and If the constitutions
al convention is not what 1t should be,
the noble dead will rise to demand
that blood shall not have been used in
vain.
.If we fail in this convention, we
shall be unworothy of the blood that
was shed at FL Caney and on San Juan
hill. General Wood Is the true friend
of Cuba, and l can certify to it. The
