Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
LOUISVILLE, KY, August II. 1900.
The democrats will open their state cam
paign with speeches In every one of the
hundred and nineteen counties in Kentucky
on September 3. A perfect volley of ora
tory will be fired as the opening gun, and
the leaders say they expect to set the ball
rolling with SO much impetus as to keep
1t going with a vim until election day All
the local speakers of prominence have been
engaged to aid In "whooping up things"
and many orators of national prominence
have been engaged to take part in the cam
paign.
The democratic campaign committee has
organized with Ex-Governor James b. Nc
Creary as chairman. The state headQuar-
ters will be opened August Is at Seelbach's
Hotel in this city.
The republicans have already opened their
headquarters in the basement of the Gait
House. and are letting no grass grow un-
der their feet.
The challenge of Mr. Yerkes, the repub-
lican candidate for governor. sent to Mr.
Beckham, asking the young governor to
meet him on the stump in series of Joint
debates. Will be answered by the democrats
this week. BY some 1t is not believed that
Mr.. Beckham will agree to meet his oppo-
nent, but friends of the governor insist that
he Is game" and is not afraid to wage
an aggressive campaign. even though he is
many years younger than his opponent and
not stump speaker of especial power
The republicans say 1t is absolutely essen
tfal that Governor Beckham discuss the is
sues of the campaign with his opponent in
order that the people may be able to Judge
the two candidates and measure their abili-
ties critically.

Yerkes a Good Speaker.

Mr.. Yerkes is one of the best speakers in
the state. and Is quick In debate and able
In argument. Governor Beckham just
thirty-one years old, is not forceful ora
tor. but is pleasing speaker, with a charm
ing personality.
The republicans, not to be outdone by
their opponents, are arranging to have
something of a whirlwind campaign them
selves. They have engaged perfect army
of local orators and will call to their aid
some of the national celebrities of their
party, notably Governor Roosevelt Senator
Wolcott, Senator Foraker. and several
others, who have been promised to the state
for speeches by the national republican
committee.
Clubs will be organized by the republic
cans at every school house and in every
hamlet in the state. These clubs will be
furnished with speakers their meeting
nights and the woods viii fairly ring with
oratory.
The republicans will follow the demo-
cratic campaign opening with similar
method, speaking simultaneously in all the
counties of the state a week later. or on
September 10 Mr.. yerkes will open his
speaking tour probably at the state fair
in Lexington next month. and will not stop
except on Sunday until he has covered the
state in his canvass.
Governor Beckham has not made public
his plans as to his canvass. but IT is under
stood he will make a number of speeches,
trying to visit each county before the cleo
ton.
While there is every Indication that the
fight will wax warm and the contest be eX-
citing almost from the opening of the cam
paign the opinion is general that the state
will witness no such sensational political
features as marked the contest last year.
Ex-GOv. Taylor to Speak.
1t Is now stated that Ex-Governor Taylor
will return from Indiana to visit three or
four mountain counties and there make
speeches in the interest of Mr.. Yerkes.
Republican Campaign Chairman Leslie
Combs said yesterday he was greatly en-
couraged with the outlook. He said 1t was
Of course. too early to size up the situation
fully. but the news he was receiving from
all over the state was most favorable to
his ticket.
Chairman McCreary Of the democratic
campaign committee has received many en-
couraging messages from leaders over the
state, and he too, is we'll pleased with the
outlook.
There is but one more district in which a
congressional nomination has not been
made-the tenth-and this nomination will
be made next Friday at Paintsville by the
democrats. and by the republicans next

CARNEGIE IS SATISFIED.
Tells the British That He Expects
Iron Prices to Remain High.

London, May 10.-Mr. Andrew Car
negie was present at the concluding
session today of the Iron and Steel IN
stitute's annual meeting. He briefly ad-
dressed the delegates, thanking them
for the reception accorded him.
In an interview with a representa-
tive OF the Associated Press he said.
Having only arrived this morning I
have had no time to learn what change
has occurred while I was on the At
lantic. but basing my opinion on the
conditions which existed when I left.
I can say I do not believe any serious
reduction in prices will occur in the iron
and steel market The worlds demand
shows signs Of increasing rather than
decreasing The recent drop IN America
was merely a transition from fictitious
TO real values. Such famine prices as
had been reached were impossible to
prove lasting. Naturally If the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire company insists
upon refusing TO take material for
which they contracted 3 depressing in
fuence must be felt But I regard this
action and the shutting down of the
mills as comparatively unimportant
factors Of merely temporary effect, and
not in the least likely 70 result in any
serious diminution of prices or in the
production of the worlds steel and iron
market I am entirely satisfied with
the present situation
