DEMOCRATIC PLANS.
Urey Woodson Is Good For
Another Term as National
Committeeman.

According to the presentplans the
delegates from Kentucky to the
Democratic National Convention, to
be held at Denver, on July z, will
meet in Denver on Monday, July 6,
and re-elect Urey Woodson National
Committeeman and Ollie James
Chairman of the delegation.
STATE COMMITTEE TO ORGANIZE
The new Democratic State Com
mittee will not be organized until
after the Denver Convention is held.
1t is understood that under the new
regime the meetings of the State
committees will be held in Louis
vile and in Lexington. At the first
meeting, the new committeeman
will formally elect Henry R. Prev
lit chairman and George Spear, of
Lawrenceburg, who is a candidate
for secretary, claims to have enough
votes to win. Many Democrats are
urging that the new committees es-
tablish permanent headquarters in
Louisville just as the Republicans
have done. 1t is said that this will
be one of the first questions that the
new chairman, Mr.. Prewitt, will
present to the committees. At the
first meeting of the committees it is
not improbable that a campaign
committee will be named to take
charge of the fight for Bryan in the
State.

Uncle Sam TO Act as Employ
ment Agent Through
Postmasters.

Through the Department of Com
merce and Labor and the Post-office
Department, Secretary Straus and
Postmaster General Meyer have in
augurated a plan of service which it
is hoped will relieve farmers and
others in this country from embar-
rassment in getting help. The de-
tails are being worked out by 7. V.
Powderly and Assistant Postmaster
General De Graw. The plan con-
templates a general distribution of
admitted aliens and other persons
seeking employment. There are be-
ing forwarded to postmasters
throughout the United States pack
ages of cards, with return attach
ments for distribution to farmers
and others who are likely to need
the services of farm or other labor
ers or mechanics, and who may OBJ
tain the character of help required
by mailing the return information
card. properly filled out, without
payment of postage.
For this service, no charge is to be
made or fee accepted either from
or employee. In case where
labor is not needed at this particular
time the applications may be retain
ed by prospective employers for flu.
ture use. The work of selecting
laborers will be given es-
pecial attention by experts.

HENRY BACON.
Must Cough Up $4,000 Fx-
cess Charges On Printing.

Frankfort, KY, June 26.-Henry
Bacon. former public printing con-
tractor, is hit hard by the court of
appeals. Bacon charged the State
$50. 900 for job of work. but the
commission allowed him but $4,000
on his claim and referred the bill to
the Attorney General, who approved
it all but one item, involving $3.50.
The opinion of the court of ap-
peals, which was written by Judge
Lasting, says Bacon was only enti-
tied to $4,000 for the books. and
gives judgment against him, in favor
of the State, for $29, 1892 80, with in
terest from August, 1902. This really
makes the amount of the judgment
over $32. 900, as the interest for six
years is over $4,000.
The court releases Bacon's bonds
men, George and John A. Fulton,
from liability.
