arranging the post-season series that It

ON KENTUCKY DE-
MOCRACY.

In the course of a personal defense
against the accusation that he became
"huffed" because he was not allowed
/ to go to the United States senate,
Henry Watterson in the Courier
Journal says:
THE Courier-Journal has warned
the Democratic leaders in Kentucky
time and again of impending danger,
still following the flag. II warned
them against the Goebel election law.
What came of It? 1t warned them
before and after the Music Hall con
|vention. What came of that? In
each instance where they rejected its
counsels they came to grief. They
have won no victory except with its
support. Is this not the literal
truth?
Throughout those stormy times 10
gave all possible proof Of its sincerity
land its disinterestedness. 1t had
Everything to lose and nothing to gain
| by its attempt to stem the torrent of
Iextremism. Why should they doubt
liz now, when, standing amid the
wreck and ruin of the last disastrous
battle, II exclaims how long, oh, Lord
how long?' Is there to be never any
Iredressing of party lines short of ex-
tinction, never any change of captains
this side of humiliation? Must all
men deny what all men know to be
true? Must all men assert what all
men know to be false-for the sake
Of party regularity?
1.-THE time for revision is now-for
la change of base is now-for a po-
|litico-military commission, having
power to act and equal to its duty in
a supreme emergency, is now. Other
wise we shall have in the coming state
convention the same old spectacle OF
|cut-and-dried machinism-blind lead
ers Of the blind at their old stunts,
stale and bootless and rank-with the
loss Of Kentucky's electoral vote in
the succeeding presidential election.
Can any thoughtful. upright, saga
cious Democrat doubt this, and must
| be burned at the stake for say
ing it?"

cruts to the army Vlnccnnes came

In the city today and he was enthused
over the good work that was done in
Paducah. As an officer he compll-
mented Sergeant Blake on his record
and said he always secured a good
class of men for the army. During
January 101 men were secured from
this district, which Is the greatest
number enlisted since Captain Reed
has had charge. Sergeant Blake won
over the recruiting station at Evans

month. Vincennes is the closest com
petitor for the honors. but Paducah
always manages TO lead.
