MI STERLING. KY, Dec. Il, 1901
Editor REPUnLiCAN:--A few moro
items from this land Of bluegrass and
Goebelism may be Of interest, so pre-
mise by saying that We are now expert
oncing some severe winter weather, tho
first We have had this fall. The morcu.
ry has been down 10 . degrees below
zero two mornings this week, and rs We
had short corn crop, feeders Of stock
are bcginnin. 10 wonder how long this
state Of things will last
Since ] last wrote you n short com
munication u great muny things have
happened in thio state, one Of which is
that some thirty miles east Of here ON
the Licking river an oil field has been
opened, and there AFRO now seventeen
wells sunk, all good producers Of the lin
ost quality Of oil in the United States.
They are building steel tank l20 feet
10 diameter by 80 feet in hoighlh, aud
as soon H. 1t is completed they will be-
gin 10 pump oil into it.
Another thing that has happened Is
state election In which the Goobelitcs
were mainly victorious, and ", are still
10 be undor the iron heel OF tyranny and
oligarchy; and here will say iha, in
point of finances We are running cheek
i ,, ,4f,l ht..,,.. 49,, I.,s
Tay lor was dcposcd aud the present
usurpcrS came into power we had some
thing over 500 900 IN the treasury, and
the state was practically out Of debt.
Recently ourac,ing auditor made report
that thcro was a,dciicit in the general
.qpense iund Of $1,000, 900. All that
change In Two years besides spending
tho taxes Of the last two years, and
nothing 10 show for IL. Such IL Demo
cratic finEncicring. The Democratic
party is a No In emp,ying treasures,
but who ever heard 81 n Democratic
administration iliIins one, ei.her ia
state or nation? 1t seems that the De-
mOcrcy thinks that the taxpayer, nro
only 80 many geese. made TO bc picked.
a short time ago Benjamin Howard,
Of Bell county, was arrested and lodged
In Jail nj Frankfort, charged with being
one Of GOebcl's murdcrcrs. | never
know OF man having been 80 numor-
Ously murdered, and nothing proven
against any Of them by credible wit
nessos When the true murderer of
Goctcl il found, rs he will be, there
will he u shaking Of knees in the Goe-
bel camp on account of the exposure of
n Democratic conspiracy instend Of II
Republican one. II WAS not intended as
a killing, but as II very slight wounding
to create h coup and draw doughtful
Legislators into the Geohcl ranks; but
we read of David's pcbblc and Goliath =
visor, and your readers can draw the
parallel But truth and right will bo
vindicutod. Such enormitics can not he
hidden always. some oi their star wit
ncsses have alroady p.achcd on them
and made oath that they were hired To
swear falsely, and have He'd the coun-
try. This ought TO he proof enough 10
establish the whole plot-bu, enough
OF this now.
From what rond in the papers from
your state the political vcsuvius 10
about ready to crupt, and then ,horc
win be praying for tho rocks and noun.
tains TO come tumbling down. 1t isa
true old maxim tina, when rogucs fall
out honest men get their own. Let us
watch, labor aud pray for the right.
