AN AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN.
Beckham Declares That Kentucky democrats
Will Push the BE publicans.
(By the Associated Press.)

Winchester, KY, Sept. 5.-A crowd es-
tlmated from seven to ten thousand was
present at the opening of the Democratic
State campaign here today. Speeches
were made by Governor Beckham, Sena-
tors McCreary and Blackburn and Con-
gresham Ollie James Special trains
from Cincinnati, Louisville, Lexington and
other places brought large delegations.
During the forenoon Governor Beckham
held reception and was visited by many
political leaders from various parts of
the State. Thousands of gallons of bur
Franklin, of Frankfort, fresh from the
trial of the Goebel murder cases, at
tracted much attention.
Governor Beckham said in part
Il intend that the contest shall be an
aggressive, not a defensive one; that the
people shall be thoroughly acquainted with
the issues involved, and that in the full
light of public view the Democratic par
ty, willingly, and the Republican party
unwillingly, must stand upon their re-
spective records, and let the people judge
between them.
THAT the Democratic officials have done
everything in their power to put an end
to the trouble in Breathitt county, no
one disputes. They were purely local, and
not half so serious as the feudal outbreak
in Clay county during the last admins
tration. If the Republicans had shown
the same desire to punish the assassins of
William Goebel that the Democrats did
to punish Marcum's assassins, both crimes
would now be avenged.
II am glad to give hope to you of a
brilliant victory at the polls in NOvem-
Der. l ask for the Democratic people of
Kentucky that they be not satisfied with
small majority, but that they shall
roll up such a tremendous vote-one that
will remove for long time to come, all
danger of Republican supremacy. take
Kentucky absolutely out of the doubtful
column and send good cheer to the hearts
OF the National Democracy. The Demo-
cratic party in Kentucky is more united
and harmonious now than it has been in
ten years. Most of those who left us in
1896 and 1899 have returned to the fold
and we should greet them with heart
mess and cordiality. Let the past be
forgotten, and let us stand together
henceforth. shoulder to shoulder, as DEM
ccrats with our hearts full of devotion
for the welfare of our State and Ma

No Change of Attitude.

Sofia. Bulgaria, Sept. 5.-Reports of
the proceedings of the ministerial council
at Varna indicate that there has been
no change in the attitude of the govern
ment on the Macedonian question. For
the moment the dissolution of the
sobranjo forms the chief subject of the
discussion. The council is reported to De
devoting itself chiefly to internal affairs.
The coming election will probably afford
quite as much excitement as the proceed
ings of the insurgents.
Bands of revolutionaries continue to
cross the frontier, but scanty news of
fighting IN northern Macedonia is received
here. The insurgents are believed to be
waiting until larger force shall have

firmly resolved that unless its efforts re-

Turkey or in European Intervention, to

All the plans have been made and the

garding the character of the structures is
not obtainable it is not possible to fur

the completed buildings will be like, that
the pile will be huge one is certain; that
it will be magnificent cannot be doubted;

yards are now being pulled down to be
to their new loca ton south Of the
main line; They will also be greatly en-
larged.
About Fifty Miles of Track
Some idea Of the present yards can be
formed by examining the plan, which
shows forty-eights miles of track. The
figures are confirmed by spending about
half a day in treading the maze, which
consists of the ordinary type of arriving,
departing and sorting yard with capacity
for about 1000 cars, and at the east end
of it a network Of shed tracks and de-
livery tracks, this part of the yard show
ing evidence Of added patches. and here
the original yard can still be pointed out
near the east end of the shed tracks,
and about seventy five yards west of Main
street the freight sheds commence. They
consist of an inward shed and outward
shed, with offices in the center, over 800
feet long. At the west end are capa-
cious cold storage rooms; north of the
shed tracks stands the bonded shed. 1t
is $50 feet long. The freight is handled
in the most expeditions manner that has
yet been devised, and very successfully,
too, something unlocked for in this re-
gion.
New Passenger Station.
The passenger station is on the east
side of Main street. Neither the building
nor its environments possess the same
satisfactory features as the freight
terminals, and the fact cannot be dis
puted that the prevailing ugliness is det-
rimental to the reputation Of the city;
and the cramped quarters, which have to
provide office room for about 300; the in
convenient track arrangement, the dislo-
cation of several branches OF the organi-
zation which are scattered thru the city,
must have convinced the company that
something needs to be done here.
It was learned that negotia tons have
been proceeding tardily with the city
for some time which when completed
will give the company passenger sta
ton that it needs and the city one that il
should have. The projected improve
ments embrace a hotel The lack OF
proper hotel accommodation of grade
