WHAT is the reason Madison COun-
ty can't have more free rural routes?
Here we are, citizens of one of the
richest counties, in the Bluegrass,
having for its county seat, one of the
pretties- and most progressive little
cities in Central Kentucky, and with
only one rural route, and that one
covering a very small territory. Far
mers along this route now feel that
they cannot do without it; their mail
is left right at their doors each day,
and quite a number of farmers who
live along these routes, mot only in
this county, are taking daily and
weekly news papers, where they would
not if they had to go several miles
to the post Office. We are enjoying
free turn-pikes, and in other ways we
keep up with the times. But when it
comes to free rural delivery, we are
woefully behind The one route that
we have goes out towards the Kinks
vile locality, We should have one
going out through the country towards
Speedwell, one to Union City and Red
House, one out towards White Hall
and Clay's Ferry, one down into the
Tates Greek vicinity, and so on There
is no excuse for MadisCR county hav-
ing no more routes. Let us see what
can be done towards securing them. If
necessary, let us appoint committee
TO 60 to Washington and look into the
matter personally Senator McCreary
is up there, and we know he will take
pleasure in assisting to secure for this
county more rural routes. Let us not
rest until we have free rural delivery
all over our county. This is what we
want and this is what we must have

IN reply to a question as to what he
thought of Mr. Bryau's declaration
that the next national democratic
platform must reaffirm the Kansas
City and Chicago Platforms, Senator
McCreary said;
IF we are to have any hope of sue
cess in the coming presidential cleo
ton, the democratic party must take
up the questions that confront us to-
d4v, and in addition, we must have
both conservatism and harmony. l
feel quite sure that the democrats of
my state, who redeemed themselves in
the last national election, would much
prefer this year to 90 into the fight
on live issues. With strong, earn
est and conservative candidate, who
will harmonic the party, and plat
form covering the question upper
most in the public mind to-day, the
democracy can redeem itself in the
nation.
"Of all the men mentioned to lead
the party 10 the coming campaign, it
seems to me that Senator German. of
Maryland, aud Judge Parker, of New
York, more than any others, come
up to the r quired standard. As for
issues, favor tariff reduction, econo-
my in the administration of the gov
ernmeDt, and honesty among our
public servants. Our tariff to-day is
higher than any other on earth, and
the people will demand that it he re-
duced.
"Since I entered congress, sixteen
years ago, the expenditures for carry
ing on his government have nearly
trebled. This is not as it should be.
The expense can be reduced and the
public service will not suffer. The
complete elimination of corruption
among government officials by inves-
tigation and the punishment of the
guilty should be the democratic prom
