But now holds up his EMPTY hands
And wants them filed with pie.

And we think it is a sin,
For him to ask good democrats
For spoils he did not win.
Then rise, ye common yeomanry

And put down aristocracy

A man who will do right,
Whose "massive frame" Is always four

The great effort OF Mr.. Cross

fered were not endorsed by the

appreciated services of Mr.. James
for his party. He has succeeded
in doing the one thing about as
we'll as he has in the other. The
people Of this state and this dis

political history to be led astrsy
by man who shows interest in
his party only when an office is TO
be filled. AS Mr.. Crossland's pol.

on Mr.. James ability and services
By that great friend Of the people.
our late Governor:
Cincinnati, o., May Z, 1901
Hon. o. Nj. James. Marion, KY
My Dear Sir: l beg at this late
date, in the name Of my brother
Justus and myself, to thank you
for your gallant devotion TO aud
valuable services for the cause Of
our brother William Goebel. We
know, as all know, how ably you
represented the cause OF the can
,didate from your end of the state,
before and during the Louisville
Convention; but we also know and
appreciate how promptly and 10y
ally, when the convention made
its choice, you pledged your unal-
Iloyed support to William Goebel.
We know how, in the name Of the
party, he called upon you during
the campaign, and appreciate how
you opened that campaign in the
Seventh congressional district,
throughout il stumpeG the entire
state in his behalf, and closed il
in company with him at Louis
Vile; how, at the count in Louis.
Vile, surrounded by hired mob,
YOU with but few others stood
your ground for the party's sake
and his sake. When at the did,
tates of his party he finally con-
sented TO contest, we know how
at the mere suggestion Of the great
value Of your services by him you
promptly volunteered without
charge your services throughout
that contest, and stood bravely
and firmly for the right, undeter-
red and undismayed by that noun
tain army upon crime and murder
bent. For these things and things
like these, we wish to thank you.
You live far from us at the other
end of the state, but across the
distance we wish to grasp your
hand, and convey to you that
feeling of gratitude which mere
words do not express.
Believe me. ever and in truth
your friend,
(Sipned) Arthur Goebel.
