The Temperance Candidate.

Beckham is the temperance
candidate for the Senate. Beck
ham, whom the whiskey men de-
feated in the Legislature after the
will of the people had demanded
his election, is again a candidate
and the whiskey men are again
seeking to defeat him. He is our
man. We must back him up.
1t has been thrown in the teeth
of the temperance people that
they do not stand by their friends
as the whiskey people do. If we
don't, well soon have no friends.
1t is well known that there is an
overwhelming majority in this
State, in this district, in this
county, for temperance. Our
acknowledgements have a right to
expect to be nominated and elect
ed. Beckham staked his political
future on the temperance cause.
He lost, but has remained true to
us. Shall we let him lose again !
No! We must send Beckham to
the Senate.-Woodford Sun.

The Issue.

A vote for Mr.. Beckham is a
vote against the whiskey trust,
which puts an open saloon on
every corner of every village
and at every cross roads if it is
permitted to do so.
No wonder nearly every wom-
an and child are for Mr.. Beck
ham, for he has done more than
any one man in the State to pro-
tect them from this monster
lie open saioon.-Mayfeld
Weekly Messenger.

A Long Hopeless r CHI.

Mr.. Stanley, in his speech here
Monday, said he had been fight
ing Mr.. Beckham for fifteen
years and expected to fight him
fifteen years longer. That will
make fight of thirty years dur
alton, but the fact of it is, he
will be placed, after the August
primary, where he can do MIR,
Beckham very little harm unless
he votes against him as the nomi-
nee at the November election

Gov. Beckham said in his
speech at Mt. Sterling, that "The
people have not won a victory I'M
til officers elected by them put
into effect the great reforms
promised before election" There
is more sound wisdom in that one
sentence than there is in any half
dozen "oratorical efforts" made by
the Hon. A. o. Stanley, so far in
this campaign.-Stoops' cores

Great Louisville Leader says
Stain Should be Wiped
From State.

Judge Matt O'Doherty, the
distinguished Louisville leader
and churchman in the course OF
a recent interview said: II can
not bring myself to believe for
an instant that self-respecting
Democrats-men who have re-
gard for ordinary decency in
public affairs, or In party organi-
cation or discipline, will let the
opportunity pass unimproved
which the coming primary af-
fords, to set the seal of their
condemn alton on the perhdy by
which Gov. Beckham was de-
prived of the Senatorship six
years ago, after having been reg
ularly nominated for the office
by the party he had so faithful
ly served.
'Tt will l am confident, never
be said of the great body of Ken
lucky Democrats that they con-
doned fraud or treachery by neg
lecting the opportunity of set
ting the seal of their condemna-
ton upon it when the opportu-
nifty offered. In no other way
than by the nomination of Gov
Beckham, is it possible to effec-
tually wipe out the stain on the
fair name of Kentucky, which
the conspiracy by which his de-
feat was accomplished placed
upon it. Party integrity, party
organization, party discipline
and public decency alike demand
Gov. Beckham's nomination and
election. Thus, and thus only
can the wrong done to him and
to the Democratic party of Ken
lucky in his person be right
Gov. Beckham deserves well
of his fellow-citizens. He was
called to the chair of the CHIEF
Fxectuive of the Commonwealth
when the State was in a condi-
ton bordering upon anarchy
violence and bloodshed were
averted by the cool sense, admir-
able judgment and indomitable
courage which he, although then
a very young man, brought tc
the discharge of his duties as
Governor. He merits the hon
or he is now seeking. He has a
double claim to it-frst, because
he is emin entity fitted for the Of
fee; second, because, as all men
know, by the most unblushing
treachery he was deprived OF
the Office six years ago, after
having won by overwhelming
vote his party's nomination,
His nomination now is due alike
to him and the Democratic
party. It's honor and his right
are alike involved. Per6dy
should never have permanent
triumph. He will, I believe, dis
lance all his competitors in
Louisville, and there can be no
doubt that ne will win by a
.taroe rna;oritv IN the State"
