Try PARTY.

DC ~ - lion would
tend to Democratic dry.rOt, an dry.rOt
means decentralization, lethargy Rnd stag
nation" So it is to save the u Fmocratic
party from 'dry-rot, demoralizati ion, leth-
argy and stagnstion" that has PRAISED so
much anxiety for the organization of a
respectable minority party IN Virginia.
The word respectable" when applied
to political party, we suppose, has the
same meaning that it possesses " hen ap.
piled to individuals, Or other or ganiza.
tons. Then it means, that resp ctable
minority party" is one that is woH thy of
honor, confidence and esteem. JUST here
we would like to ask our Democratic con-
temporalies, if such respectable nhinor-
ity party" should be formed, where Mould
it find foeman worthy of its steel? FCer.
talnlyi not in the Virginia Democracy of
the present, if it is the representative of
the Virginia Democracy of the recent pSa st.
1t has long been shorn of all claim tol be
considered respectable, if we are to be
iieve only portion of tie many conf es
sions of the Democratic newspapers and
leaders, made in connection with the CALL
ing and work of the late Constitutional
Convention. According to these confes.
sions the Virginia Democracy of the past
twenty years has been band of political
pirates, holding power by the employ
ment and use Of registration padders,
fraudulent ballot manufacturers and ma.
nipulators, ballot-box suffers, dishonest
markers, false counters and such as were
willing to receive honors ~ and office by
the assistance of these agencies. 1t is true
that with the admission of the corrupt
practices that have been used under
Democratic rule there has been coupled
plea of just6cation-that plea being fear
of negro domination. There might have
been some reason in that excuse if the
dishonest methods that were used in the
black counties had not been introduced
and operated so extensively in the white
districts. The Hon. VIM. A. Anderson,
now Attorney-General OF Virginia, then
a member of the Constitutional Conyen-
ton, in speech at Tazewell last Fall said
the frauds that had been practiced in cleo.
tons in Virginia had become cankering
sore which was destroying the moral tone
of the people. He urged that new Con-
sttution was needed to get rid of the evil.
So much then as to the history of the
late Virginia Democracy. What about
the reformed Democracy which advocated
the making of new Constitution to get
rid O. corrupt and fraudulent elections !
Were the professions of these so.called re-
formers sincere? Why, Msjor Anderson,
one Of them, whom we have just named,
was the author of the first di:graceful and
unfair election law that was ever enacted
10 the State. 1t was known as the Ander.
SON. McC ormick law, and on it, as foun-
dalton, was constructed the infamous Wal
ton law which suggests fraud in nearlHz
every line and provides full protectjs,, ., !

Move to Organize a New farty Has
Been Held at WickIiffe.
Convention 10 Name Candidate for Con-
gress 10 be Held Here
on JuIy 4th.
WANT GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP ONLY

Paducah is to have a convention Of
public ownership" advocates on July
4th at the court house at p. m. to
nominate a candidate for congress.
The move started in Wickliffe the
other day, and at . meeting there a
committee was appointed as follows,
and instructed to proceed with the
organization Of the party in tho First
congressional district: l.. I. Owen
chairman, Vaudeville; r. E. Meri-
wether secretary, Lakewood; s. t..
West, Hinkleville; u. B. Lane, Bland
vile; O. d. Martin, Blandville
The object Of this new party is sim
ply that the government own all pub
lie utilities. At the preliminary meet
ing the following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved. That the time has come
when the farmers and laborers who
produce all the wealth Of the country,
must combine to resist the encroach-
ments of the trusts and monopolies,
which are fast taking unto themselves
all the means of life, By the monopo-
lizstion of our railroads, and other
means of transportation, our coal
mines, iron mines, oil wells, and the
machinery Of production, until today
the workers in farm and field produce
corn, wheat, tobacco, beef, and other
farm products that the gamblers and
trusts monopolize, and fix prices,
both to producer and consumer, that
leaves no fair remuneration to the pro-
Queer, and fix prices to our BROTH
er laborers in the shops in the cities at
such an exhorbitant rate that they are
unable to feed their families in pro-
per manner. The trusts and monop-
olies rob producer and consumer alike.
Therefore, we favor the organiza-
tion Of party having for its object
the ownership by the government Of
all public utilities.
1t IL supposed that in the meantime
county meetings will be held in the
thirteen counties in the district and
delegates appointed to attend the dis
trict meeting here. Nothing 10 known
of the movement here.

Two I0RB BODIES.
One Believed to be that Of Mrs.
Breese Of Uniontown.


The searchers at the City Of Pitts.
burg wreck were greatly handicapped
yesterday in their work by the heavy
winds, which made 1t impossible to
drag the river. They worked about
the wreck, however, and found two
bodies, those Of a man and woman,
whose identity will perhaps never be
known, as there was nothing about
them BY which they could be identi-
fed. They were both found on the
wreck. and were too badly burned
TO be recognized.
The remains were taken to Cairo.
Yesterday the blaze ON the hulk was
extinguished and this will aid in
searching the wreck for bodies.
The body of the woman is supposed
to be that of Mrs. Clay Breeze, of
Uniontown, Ky.
A new name has been added to the
list of missing. that of James W.
Smith, of Brooklyn. N. Y. He is
said to have been one of the victims.

ONE LIFE WAS LOST
Severe Wind Storm Struck Paducah Last
Night About Eleven O'Clock.

One OF the most destructive WIND
storms that has visited Paducah in
many years swept through the city
last night about IL O'Clock, doing
great damage and killing one man,
Patrick McNamara, Waterman at the
Smith and Scott tobacco factory on
North Eighth street.
The velocity Of the wind had been
high all day. and increased last even
ing. blowing a regular gale at times.
1t did not become dangerous, how
ever, until about II. Clouds, accom-
panied by lightning, were noticed in
the west, and seemed to circle
around and meet others from the
south.
Suddenly a terrific wind almost
directly from the west came shrieking
in, and the destruction Of trees,
fences, window glass, roofs and chin.
neys. as well as the shock with which
1t struck many houses, aroused many
people and caused them to think q
genuine cyclone was raging. The
wind was accompanied by torrents of
rain. but both disappeared almost as
suddenly as they came an hour or more
later.
ONE MAN LOSES HIS LIFE.

death Of Patrick Mcnamara. aged SO.
