Does any one believe, even Mr..
Wilson, who made the charge,
that the man who uttered those
words lied to the sixty thousand
people who heard him in Western
kentucky when he said that he
came to Kentucky at his own ex-
pense for the purpose of rousing
Democrats to action in the present
fight, for State offices. No, no
one, not even Mr.. Wilson, be-
lieves such a thing, and the Re
publican Gubernatorial nominee
hasn't the manhood or the courage
to stand up and admit that he has
wantonly slandered one of the
greatest men of the present day in
America. Does any one believe
that IA man who will make such a
charge should be elevated to the

cludes the restoration to citizen
ship by the Governor. The exact
number of these has not vet been
ascertained by the secretary from
the records, but he says they will
not be found nearly so numerous
as the record of the Republican
Governor will show.
The records of the Bradley adj
ministration show that in the mat
ter of restoration to citizenship
they were granted largely in the
cases OF negro ex-convicts. This
record, Secretary Leigh says,
shows the restoration of as many
rs seventeen negroes in a single
day.
The Beckham record shows that
the Governor, during his seven
years of office, commutated to
life Imprisonment the death sen
tence imposed in only five cases.
Two Of the five were negroes, who
had no influence behind them, and
third was declared insane by a
court of Justice.

result:

INSULT TO NEBRASkAN.

The Democratic press of Ken
lucky has very promptly called
Augustus +. Wilson on the carpet
for his wanton SANDER upon VIM.
j. Bryan, the great leader of De-
mocracy, whom he charged came
into Kentucky a hireling and went
before the sixty thousand people
who he addressed and urged to
support Judge Hager and the
Democratic State ticket, receiving
therefor not less than five hundred
dollars day. When called to ac-
count for his statement, Mr.. Will
son squirmed out of it in the
straddling fashion in which he has
met the issues of the present cam
paign, and, when called a liar by
Democratic State Campaign Chair
man Hines and Urey Woodson,
Democratic National Committee
man, admitted that he had made
the charge without any informa-
ton whatever, showing that he
made it in pique, being at that
time in the section Mr.. Bryan had
visited and seeing the wonderful
effects of the speeches of the Ne
braskan.
What howl would 90 up from
the Republican press rot only of
Kentucky, but of the entire Nation,
should Judge Hager, Democratic
Gubernatorial candidate, make the
charge in "A public speech next
week, when Vice President Fair
banks comes into Kentucky to
speak in behalf of the Republican
ticket, that he is receiving as COM
pensation five hundred dollars a
day, or any sum, for that service.
Such a statement by Judge Hager
would do inestimable harm to the
cause of Democracy. Is there any
more reason why such a statement
from Mr.. Wilson regarding Mr..
Bryan should not do the cause of
Republicanism much harm Z? Does
Mr.. Fairbanks stand any higher in
the estimation of the people of
this country than does Mr.. Bryan?
Does any one believe that he has
the cause of Republicanism closer
to heart than has Mr.. Bryan the |
cause of Democracy ? Will any
one claim that he has a more hon
est purpose incoming to Kentucky |
than had the man who has led the
Democratic hosts in the Nation for
a dozen years or more
The charge made by Mr.. Will
son, ridiculous in the extreme as
it is, falls fiat before all sensible

SHERIFF BULLITT

Not Permit BOOk-MakinQ.

There will be no fall racing at
Churchill Downs, for the reason
the Sheriff will not permit book
making.
President Grainger's letter to
the state Racing Commission is ~
follows:
louisville, Ky, Oct. II. 1901.
State Racing Commission:
Gentlemen: am in receipt Of
the inclosed letter from the Sheriff
Of jefferson county. relative to the
fall meeting of the New Louisville
Jockey Club. In view of the po-
sition taken by the Sheriff the
Board of Directors of the Jockey
Club has this day decided not to
hold a meeting this fall, and here
by surrender the dates granted by
the State Racing Commission.
While the Louisville Jockey
Club, believes that it has chartered
rights under which it can legally
conduct high-class racing, as it has
done for the past thirty-thrcc
years, it does not purpose to sub
Jet its patrons to annoyance and
arrest.
Charles f. Granger, Pres"
SHERIFF BULLTT'S VICTORY.
Sheriff A. Scott Bullitt precipi-
tated the action of the Jockey
Club. He addressed IA letter to
President Granger, in which he
said that book-makers would be
arrested when racing started at
Churchill Downs, and the infer
ence was drawn that arrests would
be made right and left. Sheriff
Bullitt said:
IF you are legally entitled TO
any such exemptions (referring to
the rights granted by charter. it
seems proper that you should have
ample opportunity to establish the
fact. | therefore give you this
formal notice of my purpose to
enforce the law, in order that you
may, if you see fit, bring the mat
ter to "A judicial test before the

ana rlght thinking people. In
stead of having the effect he sup
posed it would, it will iniure lis
chances of being. Governor of the
Commonwealth. The people of
Kentucky will resent the aspira-
tons of man whose stock in
trade is the peddling of SANDERS,
and they will be slow to believe
any charge made by a man who
willfully and maliciously SANDERS
such man as William j. Bryan.
The Republican campaign is being
made wholly upon false charges,
none of which have ever been
proven, but up to the time Mr..
Wilson made this serious charge
against the National leader of the
Democracy, he had left the dis
semlnation of false charges to his
associates, the candidates forminor
offices of the Republican State
ticket, especially to. his candidate
for Secretary of State.
On the day that Mr.. Wilson
was making his charge against
Mr.. Bryan the distinguished Dem
ocratic leader was telling twelve
thousand people, assembled at
Murray, Galloway county, just
why he paid a visit to Kentucky
at this time. SAID. Mr.. Bryan:
There is no more reason why |
should leave my children good
government than that YOU should
leave your children good govern
ment; and there is no more reason
why should fight for Democracy
than there is that you should fight
for Democracy. My interest is

minds that you ought to be as

SENATOR PATTERSON MUST PAY
Supreme Court Refuses to Interfere
With Famous Contempt Case.

Washington-Thc Supreme Court OF
the United States dismissed the writ
of error in the case of former United
States Senator Thomas NJ. Patterson
Of Colorado, in which the senator was
fined 81 900 by the Colorado Supreme
Court on the charge of contempt. the
action has the practical effect OF ar
tirming the decision OF the Colorado
courts.
The opinion of the case was deliv-
cred by Justice Holmes. who said in ef-
iect that the court was without juris-
diction. Justice Harlan delivered dis

dissented from the decision, holding
that the court was not without 1uriS-

The proceeding against Patterson
grew out Of the Colorado Supreme
Courts decisions IN election cases fol-

Instead of doing either the senator
