INDICATED.

During the Democrat contest between
Attorney General Hays and Mr. Hager
for the nomination for Governor, eighr
teen months ago, the charge was
made by Mr.. Hays in every county in
the state that the Sinking Fund Com
missioners had mulcned the
state out of thousands of
dollars in the printing
Contract through favoritism to the
Globe Printing Company, of Louisville
and in wnicn Jonn and George Fulton,
of Bardstown were interested. This
was vehemently denied by Gov Beck
ham and the other members, and the
relations with Attorney Genera
Hays became so strained that
he refused 10 act with
them in warding the contract.
The Republicans made use of this
charge in the campaign last year. and
the DEMOCRATS again denied the charge
Now CONFESS. the court Of Appeals of
Kentucky compoled Of six Democrats
and one Republican, and says that in
the letting of that contract the
state was defrauded out of So. 1902, SO.
In other words the Globe Printing Co.
was awarded printing at s27,9O2 so
which should have been done for s4,-
600, and judgment is given for s32,-
900 which represents the difference,
with interest from 1902. 1t seems i'm
possible that these gentlemen could
have made such mistake ignorantly.
1t must have BEEN rank favoritism
with a big rake off, for some one
At any rate Judge Hays and the Re-
pubhcans nave been vindicated i'm
their contention. Is it any wonder the
Treasury is as empty as mother

The leaders of the Republican party
are neither mugwumps nor Democrats.
Tney believe thoroughly in a protec-
tive Tariff and one that will give ade-
quate protection to all American in
dustries and keep American workmen
employed at American prices. That
party which believes in turning Amer
lean order over the foreign countries
for the products of cheap labor is
not the one for American laborers to
support. Whenever they have tried
that experiment they have gone with
out work and have invariably seen
starvation staring them in the face.
