The Yorozu affirms that the nation will be

clares that the speedy intervention of the
people alone will prevent national disgrace

1t continues:
"If such intervention does not come, our

REPUBLICANS IN KENTUCKY.
An Optimistic View Of Probable Sue
cess

MI. John w. Langley dsbursing and ap-
pointment clerk of the census bureau who
has just returned from visit to his home
at Prestonsburg KY, is very optimistic
about the future OF the republican party in
that state. He expresses the opinion that
the bitterness which exists between the
friends of Governor Beckham and Senator
blackburn. who is candidate for re-elec-
ton, Will result in such division Of the
that the republicans will have majority
on Joint ballot in the Legislature which is to
be elected this fall. thus insuring a repub-
lican successor to Senator Blackburn. He
also expresses the opinion that the repub-
lcans have an excellent chance of carrying
the state In 1907, when the governor and
other state officers are to be chosen. He
thinks that there would be no question
about the republicans winning If Justice
Harlan. who it is generally supposed Is
shortly to retire from the Supreme bench
could be induced to accept the republican
nomination for governor. Referring to
this, he said:
Il doubt # Judge Harlan would con-
slider the matter for moment; but in some
way or other a report has gained circula-
tion in Kentucky that he might be induced
to run and thus round out his official career
by serving term in Office for which he
made such brilliant and almost successful
race more than quarter of a century ago.
He has a remarkable hold on the affections
of kentuckians, regardless of politics. and
his great intellect and sterling integrity
would make him an invlncible candidate in
my opinion. And what a great governor
he would make,'
