BECKHAM'S DEFEAT.

The Owensboro (KyD Daily Inquirer (W. Q. Adams publisher and Fernan- der May editor) makes the following comment on Beckhams defeat:
 -'Paradoxical as it may seem, the de- feat of eX-Governor Beckham for the United States Senate was due to the whisky interests and to the prohib ton forces. The Republicans worked both sides and worked them to fin ish It was rare example of how both ends could be played ill favor of the middle It is another case where temperance people permitted them selves to be made fools of-where they were made the tools for their own un- doing They jumped into politics and at the last moment during the cam paign, threw their strength to the Re publican ticket, electing in this district alone boh lhe representative and sen atOr Had they kept hands off these would have been Democrats and Beck udll Mplll !liNt utNIl tINNtNh oli t4S first ballot. As it is their pet measure. the county unit bill, is almost certain of defeat by the Republicans. and they have allowed the whisky interests to send one of their champions to the United States Senate where he will do their bidding for the next six years.
 The four whisky Democrats who voted for and elected Bradley did nothing more than might have been expected Every observer of human nature knows that a whisky man :' for whisky first. last and all the Jime and party loyalty or public trust. such as imposed by the Democratic primary, is no tie where this issue is raised. They bolted Beckham and they would have bolted any other Democrat if doing so would have helped their cause.
 "It is plain that the Democrats can charge their defeat up first to the pro hibition forces in the general election and second to the whisky interests in the legislature.
 ''The whisky interests can credit their victory to the support the prohi- bition forces gave the Republicans i'll the November election.
 Thus the Republicans get the pic i; the prohibitionists the experience, and tho nenOcratS what the litt'e boy shot at"
