Only Excuse.

THE only excuse or rather, should
say, the only explanation, because
there can be no excuse for such mis-
conduct, is that these gentlemen are
losing confidence in the justice of it,
do not complain that our opponents
to the most searching scrutiny, nor
will I resent any legitimate criticism
based upon his acts.
Indeed, SO far from complaining at
such a course on the part OF our oppO-
nents, it is my purpose to devote the
larger part of what l may say tonight
to- a review of the acts and opinions
Of the Republican nominee l hold
it entirely fair and proper TO analyzee
and criticise the acts and opinions of
any man who offers himself or who ts
offered by his party as a candidate for
any office, and l only insist that such
analysis and criticism shall be Iegiti-
mate and fair
This should be the rule in all cam
paigns, and 1t should be especially OBJ
served in this time; because it has new
er happened heretofore, and it will
seldom happen hereafter, that the per-
sOnl opinions and conduct of candi-
dates have determined or Will deter
mine, the suffrage of SO many voters
as in this campaign.

Soldier Versus Statesman.

"If we were seeking a soldier I
would prefer the president over almost
any other man now in public life, but
at we are seeking a statesman, would
prefer almost any man now in public
life over the president. He would be
one of the best men to lead a desper-
ate charge in a time of war; but he is
one of the worst men to administer a
great government in a time of peace"

Not a Representative Contest.

"This contest, 1 regret to say, does
not fairly represent an issue between

we should elect our candidates for the

publican majority In the senate would
remain there to resist and defeat wise
and wholesome reform.

render such a tax impossible except
In extraordinary emergencies,
Free Trade Talk Idotic.
1T is the drivel of an idiot to talk
about any party in this country propoz-
ing to repeal all tariffs and to establish
free trade. With the expenditures
of the federal government already so
enormous as to stagger the imagina-
ton, and growing greater every year
under the reckless extravaganza of
those now in power, they cannot hope
to materially reduce the present rate
of duty.
Under the necessity of raising rev.
enue to support the government, the
Democratic party will continue to- levy
tariff duties, and it perfectly under
stands that those tariff duties will af-
ford a protection to Amerfcon manu-
facturers against their foreign com
petitors.
mot content with having nominated
q candidate who had taught by his
personal example the pernfcious doc
trine of social equality between the
AnglO-Saxon and the African races,
the Republican party has gone 1ur-
ther, and, as if bent upon the mis-
chievous design of aggravating racial
antagonism, it has deliberately pro-
claimed its intention to reduce the rep
resentation of certain states IN con-
gress and in the electoraE college be-
cause the people Of those states will
not consent to be represented by ig-
norant and inferior men. The Re-
publican party has committed many
grave mistakes during the so years
of its existence, but l doubt if it has
committed any graver one than this
new crusade against the south.

MEMORIES OF HE HOMESTEAD"

Dimiy, through a mist of years,
My old homestead l see;
With its many ancient gables
And its daisy-strewn lea.
There we roamed gay and happy.
By the creek and the rills;
While the sun set in its beauty
Ger the old Kentucky hills.
recall again the woodland,
Where the sweet flowers grew;
We loved each glad-faced blossom.
Each leaf and bud we knew.
We traced the ripping broOklet
Down to the busy mills;
While the fog laden breezes blew
Ger the old Kentucky hills.
OH those glad. youthful days
We're in the silent yore;
The loving ties are broken,
The homestead is no more.
My eyes with tears are heavy,
My heart with sorrow fills.
When | think Of The dear ones asleeI
On the old Kentucky bills.
But the flowers still are blooming,
And other glad hearts roam.
And gather the white blossoms
On the spot call home.
The brooklet still is rushing
The thrush its glad song trills;
And the sun still sets in beauty
Ger the old Kentucky hills.

Back From Worlds Fair.
Some Suggestions

The editor of the CLIMl x desires me
to describe my impressions of the
Worlds Fair which | visited last week
as a member of the Kentucky Press
Association.
l remained but three days, and con-
sequently was unable even to enter
one-third of the buildings. Neverthe-
less, obtained an idea of the stupen-
dous exhibition from the rapid exami-
notion made of the big attractions.
Nothing ever before attempted APP
proaches the St. Louis Fair. 1t is a
panoramic, phantom city builded
with countless millions of dollars,
peopled with hundreds of thousands
daily, and gorgeous beyond the
dreamer's fancy. 1 saw one solitary
exhibit, Germany's display in the
Varied Industries Building, that
would repay a special visit to the
fair. The exhibit is nothing less than
palace, each of the thirty apartments
furnished so richly elegantly and re
gsrdless of cost, that the spectator
fancies he is reading a story in
Arabian Nights or treading the mar
bic halls of a kings chateau recall
this German display, as the grandesi
sight at the fair. OF course there are
more spectacular sights, sky-scraping
towers and Ferris wheels whence wire
less messages are sent to and from
friends in distant parts of the grounds
and city. And there are countless
buildings whose aggregate roofing
would nearly cover Richmond Space
forbids even an attempt Accommodating
the contents of those gigantic struc-
lures, any one of which in itself is an
Exposition. What desire to say for
the information of prospective visitors
is that they should provide themselves
with light clothing, loose fitting, low
healed shoes, and go forth to conquer
er. Hotels in abundance inside and
outside the grounds at 81 to 81 per
day for rooms, meals extra.
Secure a room and take your meals
at any one of hundred places on the
grounds, at reasonable rates. This
saves money, time, strength and shoe
leather. Outside he grounds, rec
ommend the private rooming house Of
