The fact that Mr.. Dudley, of Tills-
borough, is opposing division, and Mr..
Decker, also of Hillsborough, known
as the sponge king, is fighting for
PineIlas county developed a rather
amusing situation in the house when
the matte rwas at white heat. The
vote Wednesday upon the indefinite
postponement of the bill was 29 to 80,
and indicated how closely the lines
are being drawn. Mr.. Parkinson, of
Volusia, made a clever reference %
secession in his speech against indie
finite postponement, which doubtless
caused these who were wavering to
rally to the support of these latter
day sessiOnists and the bill was saved
by a close margin. Pinellas county
was today created by the vote of the
house announced since the above was
written. Now it is for the senate to
say whether it shall be or not.

Thursday morning. Although there
was very determined effort against
the bill, it passed through the ordeal
of indefinite pOstpOnement and went
to the engrossing committee.
Today in the senate, Mr.. Trammell
is making a valiant fight for his
franchise bill, which has met with
the most determined resistance. Mr..
Trammell is bright, able and ambi-
tiOus-that he has a world of deter
mination is shown by the fact that he
has gone up against a proposition like
the proposed measure to tax franch-

The prayer of the bill for injuc-

COMING.

At Republican state headquar-
tiers positive assurances have been
received that former Commissioners
of Internal Revenue John w.
Yerkes will take the stump in Ken
lucky this fall in the interest of
Mr.. Augustus E. Wilson and the
Republican state ticket. Mr..
Yerkes, although practicing law in
Washington, is still a member of
the National Committee, is Ken
tucky's representative and is taking
lively interest in the situation in
this state.
This man too big for the job or
the job too big for him, and who

Republican orators combined with
whiskcy alliances cannot check the
tide of Democracy, temperance

THEY HAD A CHANCE.

1t is easy enough for a party
that is not in power to pose as the
embodiment of all the virtues, and
to say that this or that reform
ought to be inaugurated' The Re-
publicans in Kentucky declare for
a non-partisan judiciary and say
that the public schools ought to be
kept out of politics. If the Re-
publicans of Kentucky could come
into power in the State they would
not be non-partisan in any particu-
lar. They had the opportunity,
and every act was characterized
by rank partisanship. George

CORRECT.

County Clerk W. j. Semonin,
of jefferson county, has settled in
full with the State. also with the
county, 50 that there is no claim
whatever against him. The Lou

strenuous effort to saddle Mr.. Sc

was only thunder, for Judge Ha-
ger, in "A card to the public, show
ed his procedure was not only
legal and protective against loss to
the State or reflection against him
self, but proved the Republican
trailers.very inaccurate. Suppose
a man had been in Judge Hager's
place, who was not acquainted
with legal steps in such cases, we
could easily anticipate results.
Judge Hager has made an officer
whose acts are an open book to the
people. which are above Just criti-

A DASHING FIGHT.

Kentucky Republicans are maxi
ing great preparations for the cam
paign for United States Senator,
Governor and all other State Off
ces, which will be opened at Mays
vile on August 10Th. The chief

son, the Republican nominee for
Governor. Practically every man
on the Republican State ticket
will be present and many party
leaders. Mr.. Wilson will be ac-
companied from Louisville by a
big crowd of his supporters, and
efforts will be made to put great
enthusiasm into the opening rally.

Democratic party will meet the

MAY SUCCEED HARGIS.

A special dispatch to the Enqui-
rer from Paintsville. KY, of Au-
gust 1st, says: According to re-
ports here tonight, which seem
well authenticated, John G. Mayo,
aged As, millionaire real estate,
timber land and coal operator, will
be the successor of Judge James
Hargis on the Democratic State
Committee. Judge Hargis resign
ed this week. Mr.. Mayo is the
wealthiest man in johnson county.
Mr.. Mayo is reckoned among
the young Democrats who are in
the saddle and we feel very much
drawn to Mr.. Mayo for this reason
and the fact that he is free from
isms of every tinge. just an up
to-date Democrat, standing firmly
on the party's rock-ribbed princi-
pies. Other reasons are good
ones. He is in line with the tenn
perance movement, is a liberal
contributor to all moral move
ments, educational, religious soci-
ETY.. &c.

MORE COUNCnINIEN.

candidate for Councilman in the
Fourth Ward we are pleased to
express our opinion and expecta-
ton that he will be Al with no
superior. For many years having
been conspicuous in the education
al, business and religious interests
of our city, and being a speaker Of
ability he is admirably qualified to
serve his city in the direction Of
its affairs.

A FIRM STANDING EQUIV
OCATION.

"The Democratic party, through
its candidates for Governor and
United States Senator. pledge
hearty support to the anti-Saloon-
League program. Judge Hager,
the candidate for Governor, en-
dorses the extension of the Unit
Law, the enactment of other meas
ures, T. the pledges in addition to
the strict enforcement of Sunday
closing laws in case he became
Governor.
There can be no more far
reaching achievement in political
life than the dethronement of the
saloon!power from the control of
political parties. No candidate or
set of candidates ought to be sup
ported by Temperance people, be-
hind which are found the solid
ranks of the liquor interests"
The Democratic party of Ken
lucky could not be more strongly
committed. Ito question than it is
to that of temperance, and that
the temperance question is pO-
litical one, made so by its promo
tiers, there can be no doubt, the
Republican newspapers and cam
paigners to the contrary nOtwith-
standing. The Democratic party
is willing to 90 before the people
of Kentucky upon the record that
its trusted servants have made.

COMMISSIONER SMITHS
LATEST OIL REPORT.

The report Of the Commissioner
of Corporations ON the petroleum
industry is perhaps the most su'ik-
inc of all the revelations Of the
power Of this monopoly. The Oil
Trust uses its control of the home
market in the same manner as the
protected industries. 1t sells In
foreign countries, after bearing
the expense Of transportation, at a
lower price than to the consumer
at home.
Prices at which many American
products are sold abroad is conclu-
sive evidence that the protective
tariff often enables tie manufac-
turer to exact an unjust profit.
The figures presented by Commits
sioner Smith show that a monop-
oily of the home market giyes the
standard Oil Company the power
to exact from the American CON
sumer Il much larger profit than it
can secure in foreign countries
where it must meet the compet-
ton of the production from for
eign oil fields.
