LARGE CROWD HEAR
STANLEY SPEAK.
Greeted With Enthusiastic Applause
Throughout Address.

Hon. A. o. Stanley was met at the
II O'Clock train bv number Of admir-
ing friends who escorted him the Hotel
where he held short reception with
about fifty friends who awaited his
arrival. He mingled upon the streets
with large Court Day crowd and made
new acquaintances of the hundreds of
democrats who were here with the
principal view of hearing the distin-
guished Ex-Congressman from the 2nd
District speak. who proved to be some
what of hand shaker as well as a
platform orator. About 1870 O'Clock,
the time arranged for him to begin his
address, the Court House was filed to
over-fowing with Democrats who
greeted him with great applause when
he entered the building. He was
introduced by Hon. A. B. Brown, chair
man of his campaign. as one of the
ablest and truest democrats of the
State of Kentucky who had always
proved himself to be friend of the
masses of the people by his work and
words in the halls of Congress. and one
of the best fitted democrats in Ken
lucky TO fill the office OF. Governor. Mr..
Stanley entertained his audience for
more than an hour in defense of the
Wilson Administration at Washington
and Landed President Wilson with I'M
stinted praise. He caused roars of
laughter with his ridicule and sarcastic
filings at the Republicans who were
undertaking to criticise the Democratic
party and asked what Republican would
have the nerve to propose to undo any
Of the legislative enactments that the
Democratic party has done since placed
in power.
He regretted that some of the self
seeking or serving politicians of Ken
lucky have seen fit to raise the liquor
question as an issue and the only issue
upon which to select a gubernatorial
candidate, but made plain his position,
that he stood upon the Democratic
platform the last adopted by the Dem
ocratic Party in convention assembled
and also had the same view of President
Wilson upon t h e liquor question.
That he favored the County Unit Law
and the enforcement of that law and
opposed the adoption Of Statewide
Prohibition by the Democratic party
Ms a party principle. His remarks were
enthusiastically received and were met
many times with hearty cheers of APP
proval by his attentive audience. More
than five hundred people, including a
number of ladies heard him through his
entire address, which was quite unus
ual for Court day crowd.
Altogether il was Stanley day in
Lancaster and it is conceded by even
those who have not determined to vote
for him that the prospect is good for
Garrard County 10 be in the Stanley
column by a large majority at the
August Primary.
Mr.. Stanley was very much gratified
at the cordial reception given him by
the people of Lancaster and Garrard
County, and remained until Tuesday
evening mingling with his friends and
acquintances in Lancaster.

THE clever German sailors have again
made the British navy look foolish. A
few weeks ago the German vessel Printz
Enel. that had been raiding the seas and
destroying English and French merchant
ships, evaded the British warships that
were on the lookout for her and safely
slipped into Hampton Roads, where she
has been informed for the balance OF
the war. The chagrin OF the British at
missing so rich prize has been doubled
by similar featof another German raider,
the Kronpnnz Wilhelm. This vessel
cleared from New York eight months ago
and though she has been sailing the high
seas ever since and has sunk fourteen
merchant ships OF the allied nations, she
seems 10 have had no trouble in keeping
out of the way OF the British and French
cruisers that have been hunting her. Last
Sunday night, with no less than four Eng
lish war vessels guarding the Virginia
capes, the Wilhelm, her supplies ex-
hausted; coal gone and crew sick, lodged
her inefficient enemies and quietly Slip
ped into safe quarters at Norfolk. She
would have been valuable prize, and
the laugh is on the British.
