Regrets Controversy

Il regret exceedingly that | should
be called upon to speak so plainly and
truthfrlly about this mani but his
slanderous. attacks upon me in his
paper, and his assumption of leader
ship of the party which he has so often
betrayed, demand that a true picture
of the man be set before the public.
believe with all my heart the he, with
his pager, has done incalculable harm
to the progress and to the good name
of Kentucky. His skill as writer has
made him all the more dangerous. He
has never stood for any good or moral
cause in our State. He has invariably
appeared as the advocate and champion
of the criminal elements. He is the
degenerate composite of the characters
of Pecksniff and Falstaff. Although
he has reached that age, when the sun
set Of life is supposed to soften with
its gentle glow the asperities and
bitterness of human character, he is
more indicative and maleyolent, if
possible, than ever before.
Coming to Kentucky long after he
had reached maturity he has boasted
and advertised himself abroad as a
typical Kentuckian; and it causes the
blush of shame to come back to the
cheek of any loyal son of the old Com
monwealth to hear strangers ever speak
OF such d man as representing the
chivalrous manhood and lovely woman
hood of Kentucky, such as the reckless
and irresponsible slanderer that at
tacks my good name.

on Grover Cleveland we're no less viol-

False Prophet

"What confidence can now be placed
in this same false prophet and SANDER
er9 As a matter Of fact, If the gentle
men whom he attacks were engaged in
any such nefarious scheme as he
describes, and possessed all the wealth
he figures, they would have had him as
a member of the gang long ago, writ
ing doube-headed editorials, praising
them as patriots instead Of calling
them pirates for political history in
Kentucky for the last twenty years
records that wherever the money is
there is always Watterson, greedy for
his part Of the loot, and venomous
towards all of those who would deprive
him of any of it. There is never
political bargain counter upon which
the editorial policy of the Courier
Journal cannot be found for sale.
~ do not know whether his weak
ness is congenital, or whether at some
time OF trial he fell before some strong
temptation; but we all know that, since
1896, he has, In political parlance, been
classed as a thrifty floater varing from
one side to the other, according to the
exigencies of his selfshness or malig-
nancy, denouncing everyone who differ
ed with him, and viciously libeling all
Of those whom he suspected of standing
in the way Of his ridiculous ambitions.
Watterson's Ambitions
"He now seeks to be the leader of
the Democratic party in Kentucky and
is candidate for a place as delegate
at-large to the National convention,
Notwithstanding his denlals. He has
already served notice that he will not
support one of the leading candidates
for the Democratic nomination for
President-Gov. Wilson of New Jersey
If the latter is nominated, and he I'M
doubtedly reserves the right to re-
fuse his support to any other candidate
who might be nominated. He was for
Gov Wilson some months ago, and we
have all learned why he withdrew his
support from him.
"He now says he is for Mr. Clark,
and | have no doubt that if he and Col.
George Harvey should be unable to
connect Mr.. Clark with their friend,
Mr.. Thomas F. Ryan, the Democratic
money man of 'blg business in New
York, he would just as promptly with
draw his support from him, and de-
nounce him in language equally as
abusive as he used about Gov. Wilson.
He must be .hattered, oajoed and
favored to keep his Democracy up to
the sticking point. The price of his
continued allegiance to any man or to
any party is exhausting to the patience
or pocketbook of any man or any party.
1t is impossible that the intelligent
Democrats of Kentucky would think of
placing such man in position where
he could again betray them, as he has
so often done in the past

Suspicious Praise

absurd ambitions and consequently
he has placed me in the illustrous ranks

ion of being the objects Of his ennob-
ling abuse. can still lay claim to
the confidence of the good people Of
Kentucky, inasmuch as for many years
have not subjected myself to suspic-

politician receives much praise from
him, it is time for honest people to
grow suspicious and to make an nvesti-
cation of his character and assoeiat-

no objection to frankly stating it.

prominent participation in it, differ

have seen no good reason why there
should be no excitement or disturbance
in Kentucky over the matter, or why
the Democrats of the State could not
have a convention that would peace
fully, tremendously and periodically
take such action as would commend
itself to all good Democrats and aid in
doing Kentucky's part toward achiev.
ing a great National victory next fall.
1t has seemed to me that not in many
years has the prospect of success been
so bright as it is this year; and that
nothing but an inexcusable an suicidal
mistake by the Democratic party
could deprive it Of an overwhelming
victory at the polls.

to the seriousness of the malady

Lopez to Retain
Seat

Santa Fe, N. NJ, April 3d.
The final passage by the senate
of the public moneys bill, the
adoption by the house of the re-
port of the commit
tee on privileges and elections,
declaring Remegio Lopez, demo-
crat, entitled to the seat which he
has held since the session began,
and the discussion in committee
of the whole in the house of the
Burg child labor bill were the
principal features of today's leg
islative session.
As forecasted by the Morning
Journal Tuesday, Renegio Lopez
will retain his seat in the house
until the end Of the session
Late Tuesday night, it looked
as if there would be two reports
of the committee on privileges
and elections, but another meet
ing Of the committee was held
this morning, and those who
threatened to file minority re-
port were brought into line.
The report recited the fact
that, after hearing evidence in
contest and eliminating all illegal
votes known to have been cast on
both sides, it developed that in
stead of the contestant, Marce-
limo Q. Martinez, having a major
ity, the majority of Mr.. Lopez ap-
peared to be SO instead of 26, as
was shown on the face of the re-
turns. The motion to adopt the
report of the committee was
made by Mr.. Toombs, an organi-
zation republican, and was car
ried without a dissenting vote.-

Solano News Notes

Considerable excitement was
caused Wed. morning by some
unknown parties trying to steal
a team from Mrs. Hepburn, north
of town. They were seen to take
the horses from the pasture, but
were frightened away and left
them. Later they were tracted
to the Uptan Ranch in La Cinta
Canyon, where they had abandon
ed four horses, evidently stolen
as the brands showed them to
belong to parties living at Endee
and De Haven.

of his physicians he leftin Octob

were so beneficial that hope was
held out for his ultimate recovery.
He returned to Roy much i'm

that time he has apparently been

Drummed Up
Charges, Roy,
is Indicted

The present term of Court was
noticeable from the point of view
that E. j. H. Roy, Editor of the
Spanish American was indicted
on two charges. The first on
charges preferred by B. G. Tyler
the MANAGER-IN-CHIEF of
the Tyler Estate, and the second
Criminal Libel, account of an art
icle published some three months
ago, in matters affecting the
death and, finding of the body of
Lucas Vigil, who was presumably
murdered by Abel Flores.
The first Indictment is signih-
cant, owing to the fact it has
been impossible to get an ac-
counting from B. G. Tyler of
large sums of the funds of the
Estate that came into his hands
L. ). Fl. Roy was unable to fur
nish a complete report and upon
those grounds, Tyler, Hughes
and Ward procured an indict-
ment.
At the present stage of the
matter there were absolutely no
grounds for an Indictment on
an embezzIement charge, and if
there were, the Manager-inChief,
Horse Trader and Good for Moth
ing Specimen that done as he
pleased with the affairs of the
Estate, should have been shoul-
dered with the ignominy. The
former administrator is ready to
show the world where he is at
and the public may know it,
The Criminal Libel matter was
insisted upon by one 0. A. Lar
rozolo. Who is Larrozolo?
If the free speech of the Ney
Mexico Press is to be curtailed,
what are we progressives going
to do under the present dominant
power the Stsnd-Patters. This
will be a test case and probably
think than Larrazolo has select
ed his victim.
The Spanish American is in nC
way cowed down by all of the
doings, and feels that It will enteI
the fray more determined thai
ever. Keep a Coming.
