HaIdeman on Dewey.

Mr.. w. j. Haldeman, of the Courier
Journal, who in 1896 was one of the
most prominent leaders of the National
Democratic movement and represent
ed Kentucky on the National Commit
tee. said of the announcement of the
candidacy of Admiral Dewey for the
presidency:
Tin my opinion. the Democratic can
didacy is an overnight affair, and 1 do
not believe at this late day the Admiral,
conspicuous though his naval achieve
ments be, will be able to figure promi-
nently in the race for the presidency.
Mr.. Bryan is as good as nominated by
the Democrats. The party is solidly
for him. in my belief, and look for
ward with pleasure to supporting him
this fall"

The Spring opening of millinery at
the Palais Royal took place last week
and attracted much attention from
visitors both from the county and city,
and was well worth any trouble that
our people took to see the handsome
display made hy this up-to-date estap-
lishment. The large store is fitted up
with all the Improvements for the con-
venlence of its patrons, and its stock
is one OF the largest and prettiest thew

window which has attracted so much
attention is an exact reproduction of
q that was exhibited in Paris. Mr..

provide this pleasing sight for his
patrons and the public.
