Green, KY; Representative George w.
Steele, of Marion, and former Attorney

The presence and the speech of Mr.. Morn
ingstar were unexpected novelties Mr..
Morningstar is the editor of a Democratic
paper at Bowling Green and was visitor
in the city on other business. AS he is sec
rotary of the Kentucky Press Association,
he was made welcome by the Republican
editors and acknowledged the welcome in a
neat speech. The speeches of Mr.. Nesbit
and Representative Steele were distinct tri-
umphs of wit.
Senator Fairbanks had expected to be
present but was unable to. His regrets
were read. A letter of regret was read
from Governor Durbin, who found the
press of legislative matters too great, and
from Senator Beverage a telegram was re-
ceived In his telegram the senator said:
Most powerful OF all our forces In the
hour of actual battle, the Republican press
continues with undated vlgor after the
victory is won to prepare the way for other
victories yet to come. The Republican edl-
tor is a sentinel who never sleeps, soldier
who never bivouacs and whose watchword
is Advance In his letter the Governor
said: 1.-The Republican press is the spinal
column of the Republican party.
