MORE ENCOURAGEMENT.

The Washington Star, in an impair
tial resume Of Kentucky politics, says
that there is unquestionab'y a great
opportunity before the republican
party. OF the candidates of the
Republican party it says: Colonel
Belknap and A. E. Wilson. of Louis
vile; Attorney General Pratt, the
only Republican on the Taylor
ticket of four years ego who got the
Office to which he was elected, and
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Yerkes are mentioned in connection
with the gubernatorial nomination.
The quartet is one of exceptional abil-
ity. Any Of these men would make
brilliant canv ass, and. in case of sue
cess at the polls. an able executive
All are representative of the best blood
in the commonwealth, and have dis
tinguished themselves in its social,
business and political life.'
This prompts the Louisville Post to
observe:
"This encomium of the material at
hand for selection by the Republican
party is graceful, and is known to be
true by every citizen Of Kentucky. 1t
shows, moreover, that the days when
the Republican party in Kentucky
was looked upon with suspicion by
people Of other states has passed. 1t
is now recognized that the party has
material as available and Ia every way
as oreditaple to the state as the Demo-
cratic party. 1t remains only for the
party to show that, unlike the Demo.
Gratis, they can choose their candidates
without any suspicion Of fraud, and
that they will administer the affairs
of the state TO the best interests Of the
people, rather than to the advantage
o. one wing Of political orgsniza-
ton.
Launched on such platform, with
one Of the candidates SO favorably
mentioned by the Washington Star at
the head of the ticket, the Republican
party will enter the state campaign
with as bright prospects for success at
the polls and future usefulness as ever
was granted to party organization
in this state"

Somehow all the Booker Washingtc n
sensations fail to pan out. The Indi-
annapolis chsmbermaid romance, or how
the girl refused to make mp Booker's
bed, turns out to be a rank fake. The
hotel proprietor exposes it in long
card TO the public saying that the
chambermaid really did make up
Booker's bed the first day, but learning
that she was going to be fired for be-
coming careless and negligent, she be-
came stubborn and happened by the
next day to hit on the plan Of refusing
to make up the negro's bed to give
them something to fire her for. Then
she found that she had made q "hit,
and it has been ensy money for her
ever since. The hotel man says fur
thermore she is not young and beauti-
full rs she has been pictured, IN the pa
pers, but is homely looking and about
forty years old. This only goes to
show how easily the American people
can be humbugged. The chambermaid
has received over $4,000 from enthu-
siasts who took it for granted that ev-
erything they saw in the paper was 50.
