Talk of the POpulists Nominal
ing Him For Governor.
The Convention Will BE Held al
Louisville September 10.

The convention of the Peoples
party and Allied Parties will take
place at Louisville September 10 and
Mr.. Joe A. Parker will probably be
chairman. The most prominently
mentioned person for the guberna.
torial nomination is ]. ID. Wood, OF
Central City, who 10 well known in
Paducah. and is one of the prominent
members of the Mine Workers union.
Yesterdays Courier-Journal says OF
the convention.
From present indications there
seems to be little chance for any con-
test to be made for the nomination for
governor. With one or two excep-
tions all the leading members Of both
parties are greatly in favor of the
nomination being handed TO James ID.
Wood. Mr.. Wood. who is state presi
dent Of the United Mine workers, is a
Republican. but the members of both
parties insist tht politicsl will not be
carried into the convention. Mr..
Wood hos been in consultation with
the leaders of the two parties, who
have made known TO him their inten
tion of placing him in nomination.
While Mr.. Wood has not said that he
will not accept the nomination il 1t il
handed to him, he has made il plain
that he is not DESTROYS of leading the
party. Great pressure is being
brought to bear on him, and it ID
thought that when the convention ID
called to order he will accept the
nomination.
1T is expected that when the con
vention assemblies at least 1875 dele
gates will be in attendance. All nomi
nations will be made according to 9
two-thirus vote. This was decided
upon in order to prevent any hard
feelings upon the part of the party
that has the smallest representation. -

BEN HAD FORGOTTEN
SUCCESSFUL LOVER VICTIM OF
HIS OWN TRICK.
Boston Man Tells Of Characteristic
Incident in the Early Life Of Gen.
Butler-Proof That "Prids Goeth
Before a FALL"

A Boston man came across the fol
lowing incident in The life of the late
Gen. Butler the other day, and II
seems such an example OF the truth
of that old saying, The boy Is father
OF the man." that it Is worth repeat
ing.
In his youth, so the story goes, Ben,
with two other unfortunates, sought
the hand of maiden in northern
Maine.
The race was very even, and for
long time the issue was in doubt.
But one day the maiden told the
three rivals that, If they would all
come on a certain evening, she would
give them her answer.
The future lawyer, fearing that he
did not stand so high IN the maiden's
graces as the others, s-.w a chance
for the exercise of his wit. Strategy
alone would win the day.
On one side of river lived the
damsel, and about opposite on the
other side boarded the anxious low
ers.
The river was bridged ar but one
point, and that was In the center Of
the village, nearly a mile from these
houses. But some workmen had fell
ed a log and thrown 1t across the
stream, and on this Bridge of Signs
the lovers were wont to wend their
way.
Ben started a little early on the
Hateful evening, and took with him a
pail Of soft soap. Crossing the log
backward, he carefully creased 1t be
hind him, and then tfiumphantly en-
tered the fair ones abode.
Hardly had the conversation be-
gun, when through the open window
steps were heard on the opposite,
bank, then a creaking, as IL someone
had stepped upon the log. and then a
splash, accompanied by muffled cpl.
thets Of rage and vexation.
Ben smiled and winked contem.
platively at his brand new lavender
trousers, while the young lady looked
surprised, but said nothing.

process was repeated, saving this
time the 'blankety-blanks" were of
a more vigorous character and longer

Ben winked the other eye, and
cared complacently at the gay white
vest which completed his careful
"get-up."
AS to what followed in the parlor
we are not definitely informed, but

Local Democrats Wonder Why
They are Charged so Much.
Primary to Cost About $500, and
the Candidates Will Con-
tribute $500.
SAYS THEY NEEDN'T RUN

Some of the Democratic candidates
for municipal nominations are kicking
long and loudi over the assessments
imposed on them by the Democratic
committee. They figure it out that
the primary September 10 will cost
less than $500. and that some where
near $500 will be raised by the assess
ment of the candidates. They don't
understand why. the committee should
make them contribute 5000 or more
than will be necessary zfor .thes pur-
poses for which.it is raised. 20 ,
Chairman r. G. Caldwell was asked
by reporter this morning what the
primary would cost and he said about
$500. He was then asked what
amount endorsement gof candidates
would raise, and Secretary will Ly-
don, who was standing nearby, answer
ed by saying that that was their pri-
vate business.
This is about all the satisfaction
that could be gotten in regard to the
assessment
Chairman Caldwell said he under
stood that there was some kicking,
but that the committee was going to
get enough to be on the safe side and
those who didn't like the price could
keep their money and not enter. the
primary. 20
