Missed Train But Chartered
Special and Reaches APP
pointment.

Greensboro, KY, Oct. SIT is not
often that Greensboro has had two po-
litical speakers AS visitors on special
trains on two consecutive days. Yes
terday w. j. Bryan, the Nebraskian
who was brought 10 Kentucky 20 tell
Kentucky how to manage its own al
fairs was the attraction at this place.
To-day it was Augustus E. Wilson,
the Republican nominee for Governor.
Mr.. Wilson arrived here on the
"Willson special from Louisville at l
o'clock this afternoon. The special was
occasioned by the Republican leader
missing his train this morning. In max
ing inquiry over the telephone as 10
the time of the trains departure from
Louisville Mr.. Wilson misunderstood
the one to whom he. directed his in
quiry and arrived at the Tenth-sireet
station three minutes after the rcgu
lar train for this city had left.
He Immediately chartered special
car and engine and arrived here only
an hour late. 1t was hair-raising
trip over the 112 miles between Louis
vile and Greensboro, and the distance
was negotiated m almost record time.
Mr.. Wilson was met AZ the station
here by Reception Committee of
prominent citizens headed by the
Third Regiment Band, and WAS given
one of the greatest ovations OF his
campaign.
Fully 5000 men, women and chill
dren were at the station 10 welcome
the Republican leader when his spec
ial train pulled in. III Seemed as if
the whole city population was on hand
for it had become known that ne miss
cd the regular train, and they Were
determined 10 show him their appreci-
alton of mis- grit in keeping his speak
ing appointment under adverse condi-
tions.
The Davess County Court House
was inadequate to hold the crowd VINO
wanted to hear Mr.. Wilson speak,
and the Opera House had been eng1S-

PACKED TO THE LIMIT.
Long before his speaking time it wa
jammed and packed to its limit. and
when he rose to speak it could not
hold any more people with comfort.
After thesinvocation by DR.. Hudson
Judge Little made brief Introductory
address, paying an eloquent tribute 70
the Gubernatorial candidate.
In prefacing his address, Mr.. Wilson
spoke of the most encouraging and
happy progress which had been his
through the State, and of the great
uprising of the people against ring
rule which he had observed. He re-
marked that he supposed Mr.. Bryan
was was just as interesting to the
people of Greensboro at $500 per day
as when he was candidate.
BRYAN is WELL PAID.
He explained though, that the Ne
braskian had charged just the same
for his service at that time. The fact |
that Mr.. Bryan came all the way from
should handle its local affairs he char
acterized as ridiculous, particularly the
Nebraskian's mission to prevent Ken
lucky from going Republican.
at there hadn't been big retainer
in cash his desire to keep Kentucky
from going Republican would simply |
have smouldered on the hearth of his
ambition" he declared. That Mr. Bry |
an didn't owe Beckham and Hager
ANYTHING, Mr.. Wilson declared TO be
ktrue and he didn't blame the Nebras-
' kan for charging them for his assist
ance.
He made the statement that Nc
Creary and Hager had heaps of letters
and affadavits showing how thew wer
robbed by the ring leaders in that pri-
mary and they were standing indify'
ferently in support of the, machine
rdcxet too manly to seual, and too
honest to give fr srs;s countenancei to
the methods employed in the present
campaign.
THAT $500 CHECK.
Another statement made by Mr..
Wilson and one which evidently made
a deep impression on the audience,
was that the famous $500 Dehler
Sheci, collected by Auditor Hager from
the saloon interests from campaign
purposes was the last Of a series OF
checks Of that kind which amounted
