Louisville Post.
The afternoon newspaper is the
paper the people read. 1t goes to
the home to be read around the
treside by every member of the
! family.
I Each season marks the growth
Of the afternoon newspaper. In
Louisville, as in Cincinnati. In.
dianapolis, Columbus, Chicago,
st. Louis and Nashville, the after
noon newspapers have the cir
culation and the advertising, and
} spend the money.
} This is especially true at st.
! Louis and Indianapolis, where the
local advertisers have simply
taken possession of the afternoon
newspapers, which, not once q
week, but two or three times q
week, al pear with seventy five,
eighty five, min ty or one hundred
columns of advertising.
This is in accordance with the
laws of commercial development.
The man of business, with a great
plant and large stock, cannot
afford to have dull days any more
than he can afford to have dull
! seasons. He must make each day
count, and he must push his bust
J ness ii ne does not wish to have
hi business push him. So to get
} in touch with the buying public,
I to lei the shoppers of the CITY and
state know what be has for sale,
he must more and more use the
columns of the afternoon news
papers. Thus it is that not here
alone. but all over the country, the
afternoon newspaper goes for
} ward. while the morning compila-
! ton stands still or goes back.

speakers this year. Leslie M. Shaw,
the secretary of the treasury will
spend the last week of the campaign in
this state and will make two speeches
every day or twelve in all Secretary
Wilson will devote some time to the
campaign in Iowa. Senator Dolliver
will give the gretater part of his time
to the state committee. Senator Alli-
son will make some speeches. Cover
nor Cummins will speak in other
states, but the majority of his spec
ches will be in Iowa. All of
the Iowa congressional delegation
will make speeches throughout the
state. Sevreal outside speakers are
likely to be secured. Hon. John j..
Esch of Wisconsin will make two or
three speeches in Iowa as will Col.
Frank o. Lowden one of Illinois best
campaigners. Manager Dawson of the

cation with number of other outside

Reports from the Third district are
most encouraging ana there is every
indication that the Republican noml-
nee will be elected over Governor
Boies by good majority. The with
drawal of Speaker Henderson is re-
gretted by all, but the feeling in the
district is that his successor will be a
Republican, in spite of any efforts that
may be put forth by the Democrats.
The Republicans of the district are
going to work with will and they
are confident of victory this fall. The
same feeling prevails throughout the
state and the Republicans will be
stimulated to greater exertions by the
exertions of the Democrats.

There is no doubt but that the
national Democratic committee will
district and elect Judge Wade. The
people of that district will be appeal
ed to from every stand point. Judge
Wade is strong speaker and he will
make an energetic campaign. Probab-
ly he will have plenty of assistance.
Every effort will be made to becloud
the situation and conceal the real
issues. The Republicans will be able
to overcome all of this if they will
stand firm and vote for William Hoff-
man on election day. The district is
Republican. If all the Republicans
vote, as they will, it will remain so.

That the action of the Iowa Demo
cracy in attempting to get rid of the
silver issue has no national signifi-
canoe may be learned from the fact
that the majority of the states that
have held their conventions so far
have declared in favor of the Kansas
City platform. Fourteen states have
reaffirmed the Kansas City platform,
as follows: Arkansas, Kansas, Maine,
Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska,
Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, South
Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and
Colorado. The states which have
failed to reaffirm the Democratic
national platform are Georgia, Illi-
nois, Indiana. Michigan, North Da-
kota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Wiscon-
sin, Iowa, Massachusetts, and New
Hampshire. With majority of the
states favoring the Kansas City plat
form and with William Jennings
Bryan urging the Iowa Democrats who
are true to the faith, to organize for
next year, the action of the Iowa con-
vention would seem to be of little
weight.

The largest order for locomotives
ever placed by any railroad has just
been placed by the Rock Island The
road has ordered the construction of
225 locomotives. One hundred and
twenty five of these new engines are
to be of the consolidated class, sixty
five of the medium Pacific type,
twelve-wheelers, and thirty-five of
the largest Pacific type, also twelve
wheelers. 1t is understood the Bald
win Locomotive Works gets its share
of this order. The work ON these en-
gines is to be rushed with all possible
dispatch, as they are wanted for SER
vice at the earliest possible date. The
demand for these engines is due to the
enormous increase in the volume of
the Rock Islands business Freight
and passenger business is progressing
with remarkable strides, and the pro-
gress is so steady and constant that it
will be impossible to accommodate
its customers longer without greatly
increased facilities. AS matter of
fact the Rock Island had ordered 20C
new locomotives this year prior to
this latest order, so that when these
engines are in service the equipment
will have been enlarged to the mum
ber of 425 engines. While of course
these engines are needed because of
the increase in the volume Of bust.
ness it is the fact that the Rock
Islands recent acquisitions of new
lines are in some measure responsible
for this gigantic increase in traffic,
So great has been the demand for en-
gines from all roads that engine max.
ers are now six months behind on
their orders.

Since the announcement or Col. IL.
B. Henderson's refusal to accept the
denomination for congressman from
the third district, made public last
Wednesday, the papers have been fill
ed with speculation as to the real
cause of his unexpected action, and
it's probable result. The reason given
by him is that he was not in accord
with the republicans of the district
ON the question of tariff revision, and
that he could not consistently serve
them in congress when he did not rep
resent their views in this matter.
His determination to decline renomi-
nation was not only great surprise,
as we'll as unfortunate to the state and
nation. His exalted position as Speak
er of the house, coupled with his long
political experience and able and
effective service, have rendered him
almost invaluable as a public servant.
In spite of urgent solicitation from
the president, members of the cabinet,
members of congress, and representa-
tives from each county in the district,
he has stolidly refused to reconsider
his action. A convention has been
called to meet at Hampton tomorrow
to nominate his successor. 1t is i'm
possible to fortell who it will be, as
there are a score of names suggested,
with the chances between them SEEM
