You can just wager largo amounts that they don't, and bo sure of winning every time. Would the Republicans of Ohio county fuse with tho Populists if they had a chance? Yes, gladly. Would they bo willing to givo up tho log cabin device? No, decided ly no. Populists should remember these facts before listening to the soft soap of Republican meddlers. Ir tho Republican party is a party of strict principle, why should it seek to fuso with gold Democrats? It never loses an opportunity to fuso with anybody or anything to gain a point, and tho hypocritical cry of its would-b- e leaders against tho Democratic-Populi- st fusion in this county is tho most brazen piece ot gall that ono could well imagine. They should pick the beam out of thoir own eyes before endeavoring to strike tho mote from their neighbor's eyes. Jin. Isaac Gassonowitz, of Chi- cago, is the father of thirty-fiv- e children, the last one being born a fow days ago. Ho has been mar- ried twice and became tho father of twenty-on- o children by his first wife and fourteen by his second. His present wife says she would like to bo the mother of as many children as his first wife had, and Mr. Gas sonowilz himself says he would bo proud to see his list of children reach the forty mark. Paregorically speak- ing, this would seem to be a genuine case of "two souls with but a singlo thought." The grooming of Grover for tho Presidential campaign of 1900 is now tho topic of the hour. It is thought by some that he is even now in the hands of his gold-hu- g friends, while others believe he is as dead politically as the builder of Moses' cradle. Among the gentlemen who entertain the latter opinion is one Mr. Watterson who, in bis capacity as a writer, has pronounced a most vicious screed against the possibility of four years more of Grover. As a composer and singer of political dirges, Mr. Watterson has had con- siderable experience, and in his last composition he will be joined in the chorus by an unusually large choir. O.v the 112th ballot of tho contest and the sixtieth of the present ex- tra session of the Legislature, Dr. Wra, J. Deboo, of Crittenden coun ty, was elected United States Sena tor for Kentucky last Wednesday. The-vot- e stood: Deboo 71, Black- burn 50, Martin 13, Stone 1. And so tho contest has at last been settled and tho new Republican Senator cost the people $100,000. Dr. Deboe is practically unknown beyond his own county lines and is a man of no national distinction and little person al renown. Ho is one of thoBe medi- ocre statesmen who Bometimea acci- dentally jostle to the top in tho measure of life, and will not likely uphold Kentucky's fair name in tbo worthy manner in which it has been upheld. Ho is the first Republican United States Senator from Ken- tucky and will bo the last. It is really pitiful to watch tho Fox alley Republican sheet in its attempt to get the Populists to split up and fight among themselves. It will give placo to any kind of a communication, if it only relates to this subject. It will take a few re- marks raado by a gentleman in an ordinnry conversation, enlarge upon them and givo them a big heading and much prominence. Its main subject matter what little there is of it rolates to fusion and Populists. It is to much interested in tho welfare of tho Populists that it can hardly wait from ono issuo till another to oflor them soft soap and to slip a dagger in the hand of each to fight tho other. Of courso the DUorgan-her'- s editor don't want ofiico. Ho is running for priuciplo only. Aud ho just loves tho Populists eo much that ho don't want to see them get nlong well togother. All that an Ohio county Populist need do now to securo notoriety, got his namo in tho paper under a big iiuuuing ami uo roierreu to as in his locality, is to como to Hartford the present extra session. ThoRepubll nn.l oIfA prn11 ilnwn Vnr nllnv' cans voted for thoir nomfneo to a man Ho will soon bo taken in chargo by tho poncil-push- cr of tho Hartford Dhorganher and pumped for all that is in him. If ho can possibly ba lad into saying a word against tho fusion ticket, ho will straightway bo mado to represent the views of half a hun dred men and he will bo reported as sayiug all kinds of bad thincs against his brethren who havo been "lead away" aud "sold out." Tho editor of tho Dhorganher will be doing this solely for the sako of the Populists, because he loves? thorn so. True, ho is running for office, but that is just for tho principle there is In it. He is taking a deep interest in tho Pop ulists at present becauso ho wants to seo them fight each other, and hopes by this means to keep somo of them from voting their regular ticket, which would injure his caso. See? Of courso when tho Democratic and Populist parties arrange a fusion ticket to perpetuate the organization for bimetallism, it is all wrong, very wrong, for one loses its principles and tho other sacrifices its honor. So say the Republican oracles. But when the Republicans and gold Democrats go into fusion to save the county offices (shl read this in a whis- per) then it is all right, for, don't you know, they must perpetuate the organization for "sound money" and, patriotically, of course, keep their eyo on (shl not so loud) the offices. And so, according to Republican conception, the arrangement men tioned below is all right : Danville, Ky., April 29. Chairman G. N, Jean of the Doyle County Republican Executive Committee, has issued a call for a mass convex lion at the court-hous- e Saturday, May , to nominate candidates for county offices. Just how many of the offices the Republicans will In etude In their nomination Is unknown, but it is absolutely certain that there will be a fusion of Republicans and sound-mone- Democrats and that an agreement has already been reached by them, though neither side will make their ar rangemenls publlcjust now. There will be a national Democratic candidate for Representative, who will have no opposition from Republicans, and It appears probable, also, that Miss Mary I.yle, a daughter of the late XV. J. I.yle, will be the fusion candidate for County Superintendent. REPUBLICANS VS. THE POPULISTS. Our "steamed" contemporary down in Fox alley is in hot water. It is so awiuuy arrant mat the tusion ar rangeraents between the Populists and Democrats of Ohio county will prove successful and thereby cause its own downfall that it is doing all in its feeble power to create dissen- sion and strife among the Populist. Its main purpose is to put Populists at war with each other. Each issue contains articles, manufactured or otherwise, which are written by Populists against other Populists. If this Republican organ can get the Populists flying at each other's thronts, it will bo delighted. It hopes to get the Populists so mad at each other that some of them will not support their county ticket and hopes by this split to gain votes for the Republican ticket. Why should tho Republicans be so interested in the success of the Populist party? Why should thoy care whether the Populists vote tho fusion ticket or not? Why should they all at once become so vitally concerned ns to whether the Populists should vote under the plow and hammer or under the free silver device? Several vears nco the Republicans paid little attention to the Populists and when they re- ferred to them at all it was only by way of contempt. The reason for this change and this hypocritical in- terest is so plain that a child might well understand it. This reason, as stated above, is the hope that the Populists will fall out with each other over tho subject of the plow and hammer and some of them fail to vote under free silver's de- vice, the rooster. Tho Republicans hopo to hold solid ranks and march to victory over tho crowd of wrang- ling Populists. They care no more for the Populists than they do for the negroes, whom for years they have duped and deluded. iiut the Bcbome is too thin to work. Tho Populists aro amply ablo and sufficiently intelligent to take caro of themselves without this meddling by the members of a party who havo always been their ene.uy and whoso wolfish features aro hardly concealed by the wool which they aro seeking to pull over tho eyes of tho ropulists. There is a fusion ticket in tho field with a number "of as good Populists on it as ever walked the earth and tho Populists aro go- ing to support it, regardless of out-Bid- o advice. Tho Populists do not need the advice of Republicans or Democrats to bo ablo to do their duty. FRANKFORT, KY. Special Correspondence. May let 1897. Tho Senatorial men linn linnn run inn I Doboo Blackburn CO, Martin 13, and Lad thrco votes to sparo. Tho pairs wero all out on Wednesday and tho absent members presont, so it was a forcgono conclusion that Deboe would win, Blackburn bad his sup porters to try to break a quorum, but whon thoy saw it could not bodono, voted for him. Tho Republicans know that tho supremo moment was at hand with them and stood to Doboo unfal- teringly, although reports of various import wero circulated toinjurohim. This has boon a romarkablo raco in many ways and only tboso who havo bcon in it can approiciato it fully. Two legislativo sessions havo boon dovoted almost exclusively to this ono object, and tho pnblio businoss has suffered whilo .waiting on tho ono tbing, controlled in a groat moasuro by plot and countor plot. But it is over and overybody socmsglad to know it is over, and thoso who won aro of oonrso very well pleased with tho out- come Senator Deboo has gono to bis home at Marion, and will roturn hero early next week, get his cre- dentials and go at oncoto Washing- ton. Tho Legislature can now get to work on rovenuo bills and other mat- ters of importance and soon attend to tho subjects included in tho Gov- ernor's call, and adjourn. Tho Sonato has under consideration a resolntion to adjourn on May 8, but tho House will hardly concur therein us it will not accept tho Scnato amendments to tho taxing rato bill. This will call for a conference committeo and tho sixty days allowed aro likly to bo used np beforo both bodies can agroo on a final adjournment. Tbo Houso bill requiring Trust companies to givo security when act- ing in fiduciary capacity has been favorably reported Tho Senato bill A. k M. College House with a small by that body, for ronewing tbo bonds passed the dissenting vote. Tho bill commonly known as tbo connty funding bill, but really a bill to enablo Muhlenberg county to fund her railroad bonds, duo next year, has passed tho Houso by a voto of 44 to 38. It will go through the Sanate unless somo unforeseen conditions arise. Tho bill, for tho benfitof employers, requiring that they be paid weekly in legal currenoy, has paesed the Houso. Tbo Houso has concurred in the Senate bill allowing corporations to do both a banking and- - trust business in cities of less than 100,000. A bill abolishing tbo offlco of Reg ister of Lands and consolidating that offlco with the Secretary of State has passed tho Houso. This measure was up at the last session, but failed to get through. Mr. Speed, of Louisville, has intro- duced a now bill providing that the Capital may be moved from Frankfort. Ho desires that the Constitution bo changed so that this may bo accom- plished. Tho bill allowing counties, by vote, to lovy a tax to extend its school facilties, has passed tho Houso. Senator Dingus introduced a bill to allow tho widow of Senator Salyer to draw his mileage and per diem up to April 19, tho date bis successor was qualified. Senator Steph enson has a joint reso- lution providing for paying ministers who havo opened tho sessions with prayer. This was overlooked at the regular session. Blackburn made a speech at tho Opera House Wednesday night, defending bis cause, eulogizing his supporters and denouncing those who opposed him. Next day he wont fish- ing. Tho Senato has passed Mr.Bronston's resolution to tho effect that tbo Secre- tary of Stato should draw only $3,000 yearly salary instead of 84,000 as he is doing. Tho extra $1,000 is for attending to tho Corporation Department. Chairman Ashcraft, of tho Prison Committee, has appointed Winfrey, Gambill and Whito to servo with tho Senato Committeo to invostigato tho condition of tbo Eddyvillo prison, Tbo bill to establish tho thirty-firs- t judicial district, has been sent back to the Committee: Mr. Coffman want- ed Muhlenberg left out of the proposed new district and so amended tbo bill and tho Houso passed his amendment. Judge Bobbins objected to it on tho grounds that it was not con- stitutional to mako now districts now and so it went back to tho Committeo on Judiciary. A resolution wbioh provides for pay ing tho expenses of tho Committeo that attended Senator Salycr's funeral has been passed. The Houso refused tone-co- pt tho Sonato amendments to tbo tax rato bill and a conference comittso has adjusted tho differences existing be-tw- o en tho Honso and Scnato and tho measuro will go through. Tho Senato will accept tho bill as it camo f rom tho Houso but tho ten cent raiso in tbo tax rate will bo applied to paying of Stato warrants in tbo ordor of their issuo. At tho end of threo years tbo rato drops back to 47J cents and remains at that figuro until chang ed by .Legislation, 'lh'8 may cause an early adjournment.

The Democratic members of tho Sen- ate Finance Committee very properly declined to agree to tbo proposition to allow tbo amended tariff bill to bo re. ported to the Senato as soon as tho Re- publicans havo finished work upon it, which they say will be first of next week. The Democratio members of tho com- mitteo do not expect to be able to get tho bill changed in committee, nor do they desiro to unnecessarily delay either its report to the Senato or its reaching a final vote, bnt they insist upon tak- ing timo enough to go over the bill, which has been so extensively changed that it is practically a new ono, in ordor to acquaint themselves sufficiently with it to inform their colleagues in the Senate, and the country, why they o it, beforo it is reported to the Sen- ate. To show that tbo demand is not mado for delay, tho Democrats of tho committee havo employed two outside tariff experts to assist them in going over tbo bill. Tho belief that Mr. Cleveland wants to be tho Democratio candidate in 1000 is prevalent among Demoorats in Con- gress, and that bis Now York speeob was bis first movo in that direction. Speaking on tho subject, Representa- tive Richardson, ot Tennossee.iafd: "As soon as he was out of ofiico before, a plan of campaign was organized in his behalf. Although his nomination seemed to bo tho result of a popular wavo in his favor, tho fact is that a sentiment from him was adroitly stimu- lated by artiolos in tbo country press and by hteratnro sent out by mail, both emanating from headquarters in New York. His frionds had plenty of money and tho samo organization is at his dis- posal Roprcsontativo Bland, of Missouri, said: "Yes, Olovoland hopes to bo nominated, and ho will be, bnt not by the Demoorstia party, whioh will romain true to tho principles de clared at Chicago last year.

I shall be very glad to seo tho issuo directly mado, for I do not beliovo Mr. Cleveland will find a oorporal's guard to follow him. Thero is ono good thing about the din- ner.

Wonder if tho Republicans giveup tho log cabin device when theyfuse with gold Democrats? Youcan just wager largo amounts thatthey don't, and bo sure of winningevery time.

Would the Republicans of Ohiocounty fuse with tho Populists ifthey had a chance? Yes, gladly.

Would they bo willing to givo uptho log cabin device? No, decidedly no. Populists should rememberthese facts before listening to thesoft soap of Republican meddlers.

Ir tho Republican party is a partyof strict principle, why should itseek to fuso with gold Democrats? Itnever loses an opportunity to fusowith anybody or anything to gain apoint, and tho hypocritical cry ofits would-b- e leaders against thoDemocratic-Populi- st fusion in thiscounty is tho most brazen piece otgall that ono could well imagine.They should pick the beam out ofthoir own eyes before endeavoring tostrike tho mote from their neighbor'seyes.

Jin. Isaac Gassonowitz, of Chi-

cago, is the father of thirty-fiv- e

children, the last one being born afow days ago. Ho has been mar-ried twice and became tho father oftwenty-on- o children by his first wifeand fourteen by his second. Hispresent wife says she would like tobo the mother of as many childrenas his first wife had, and Mr. Gassonowilz himself says he would boproud to see his list of children reachthe forty mark. Paregorically speak-ing, this would seem to be a genuinecase of "two souls with but a singlothought."

The grooming of Grover for thoPresidential campaign of 1900 isnow tho topic of the hour. It isthought by some that he is even nowin the hands of his gold-hu- g friends,while others believe he is as deadpolitically as the builder of Moses'cradle. Among the gentlemen whoentertain the latter opinion is oneMr. Watterson who, in bis capacityas a writer, has pronounced a mostvicious screed against the possibilityof four years more of Grover. As acomposer and singer of politicaldirges, Mr. Watterson has had con-

siderable experience, and in his lastcomposition he will be joined in thechorus by an unusually large choir.

O.v the 112th ballot of tho contestand the sixtieth of the present ex-

tra session of the Legislature, Dr.Wra, J. Deboo, of Crittenden county, was elected United States Senator for Kentucky last Wednesday.The-vot- e stood: Deboo 71, Black-burn 50, Martin 13, Stone 1. Andso tho contest has at last been settledand tho new Republican Senator costthe people $100,000. Dr. Deboe ispractically unknown beyond hisown county lines and is a man of nonational distinction and little personal renown. Ho is one of thoBe medi-ocre statesmen who Bometimea acci-

dentally jostle to the top in thomeasure of life, and will not likelyuphold Kentucky's fair name in tboworthy manner in which it has beenupheld. Ho is the first RepublicanUnited States Senator from Ken-tucky and will bo the last.

It is really pitiful to watch thoFox alley Republican sheet in itsattempt to get the Populists tosplit up and fight among themselves.It will give placo to any kind of acommunication, if it only relates tothis subject. It will take a few re-

marks raado by a gentleman in anordinnry conversation, enlarge uponthem and givo them a big headingand much prominence. Its mainsubject matter what little there isof it rolates to fusion and Populists.It is to much interested in tho welfareof tho Populists that it can hardlywait from ono issuo till another tooflor them soft soap and to slip adagger in the hand of each to fighttho other. Of courso the DUorgan-her'- s

editor don't want ofiico. Hois running for priuciplo only. Audho just loves tho Populists eo muchthat ho don't want to see them getnlong well togother.

All that an Ohio county Populistneed do now to securo notoriety, gothis namo in tho paper under a bigiiuuuing ami uo roierreu to as

in his locality, is to como to Hartford the present extra session. ThoRepubllnn.l oIfA prn11 ilnwn Vnr nllnv' cans voted for thoir nomfneo to a man

Ho will soon bo taken in chargo bytho poncil-push- cr of tho HartfordDhorganher and pumped for all thatis in him. If ho can possibly ba ladinto saying a word against tho fusionticket, ho will straightway bo madoto represent the views of half a hundred men and he will bo reported assayiug all kinds of bad thincs againsthis brethren who havo been "leadaway" aud "sold out." Tho editorof tho Dhorganher will be doing thissolely for the sako of the Populists,because he loves? thorn so. True, hois running for office, but that is justfor tho principle there is In it. Heis taking a deep interest in tho Populists at present becauso ho wants to

seo them fight each other, and hopesby this means to keep somo of themfrom voting their regular ticket,which would injure his caso. See?

Of courso when tho Democraticand Populist parties arrange a fusionticket to perpetuate the organizationfor bimetallism, it is all wrong, verywrong, for one loses its principles andtho other sacrifices its honor. So

say the Republican oracles. Butwhen the Republicans and goldDemocrats go into fusion to save thecounty offices (shl read this in a whis-

per) then it is all right, for, don'tyou know, they must perpetuate theorganization for "sound money" and,patriotically, of course, keep theireyo on (shl not so loud) the offices.

And so, according to Republicanconception, the arrangement mentioned below is all right :

Danville, Ky., April 29. Chairman G. N,

Jean of the Doyle County Republican ExecutiveCommittee, has issued a call for a mass convexlion at the court-hous- e Saturday, May , tonominate candidates for county offices. Justhow many of the offices the Republicans will Inetude In their nomination Is unknown, but it isabsolutely certain that there will be a fusion ofRepublicans and sound-mone- Democrats andthat an agreement has already been reached bythem, though neither side will make their arrangemenls publlcjust now.

There will be a national Democratic candidatefor Representative, who will have no oppositionfrom Republicans, and It appears probable, also,that Miss Mary I.yle, a daughter of the late XV.

J. I.yle, will be the fusion candidate for CountySuperintendent.

REPUBLICANS VS. THE POPULISTS.

Our "steamed" contemporary downin Fox alley is in hot water. It isso awiuuy arrant mat the tusion arrangeraents between the Populistsand Democrats of Ohio county will

prove successful and thereby causeits own downfall that it is doing allin its feeble power to create dissen-

sion and strife among the Populist.Its main purpose is to put Populistsat war with each other. Each issuecontains articles, manufactured orotherwise, which are written byPopulists against other Populists. Ifthis Republican organ can get thePopulists flying at each other'sthronts, it will bo delighted. Ithopes to get the Populists so mad ateach other that some of them willnot support their county ticket andhopes by this split to gain votes forthe Republican ticket.

Why should tho Republicans beso interested in the success of thePopulist party? Why should thoycare whether the Populists votetho fusion ticket or not? Whyshould they all at once become so

vitally concerned ns to whether thePopulists should vote under theplow and hammer or under the freesilver device? Several vears ncothe Republicans paid little attentionto the Populists and when they re-

ferred to them at all it was only byway of contempt. The reason forthis change and this hypocritical in-

terest is so plain that a child mightwell understand it. This reason, asstated above, is the hope that thePopulists will fall out with eachother over tho subject of the plowand hammer and some of themfail to vote under free silver's de-

vice, the rooster. Tho Republicanshopo to hold solid ranks and marchto victory over tho crowd of wrang-ling Populists. They care no morefor the Populists than they do for thenegroes, whom for years they haveduped and deluded.

iiut the Bcbome is too thin towork. Tho Populists aro amplyablo and sufficiently intelligent totake caro of themselves without thismeddling by the members of a partywho havo always been their ene.uyand whoso wolfish features aro hardlyconcealed by the wool which theyaro seeking to pull over tho eyes oftho ropulists. There is a fusionticket in tho field with a number "of

as good Populists on it as ever walkedthe earth and tho Populists aro go-

ing to support it, regardless of out-Bid- o

advice. Tho Populists do notneed the advice of Republicans orDemocrats to bo ablo to do theirduty.

Thopairs wero all out on Wednesday andtho absent members presont, so it wasa forcgono conclusion that Deboewould win, Blackburn bad his supporters to try to break a quorum, butwhon thoy saw it could not bodono,voted for him. Tho Republicans knowthat tho supremo moment was at handwith them and stood to Doboo unfal-teringly, although reports of variousimport wero circulated toinjurohim.This has boon a romarkablo raco inmany ways and only tboso who havobcon in it can approiciato it fully.

Two legislativo sessions havo boondovoted almost exclusively to this onoobject, and tho pnblio businoss hassuffered whilo .waiting on tho onotbing, controlled in a groat moasuroby plot and countor plot. But it isover and overybody socmsglad to knowit is over, and thoso who won aro ofoonrso very well pleased with tho out-

come Senator Deboo has gono to bishome at Marion, and will roturnhero early next week, get his cre-

dentials and go at oncoto Washing-ton.

Tho Legislature can now get towork on rovenuo bills and other mat-

ters of importance and soon attendto tho subjects included in tho Gov-

ernor's call, and adjourn. Tho Sonatohas under consideration a resolntionto adjourn on May 8, but tho Housewill hardly concur therein us it willnot accept tho Scnato amendments totho taxing rato bill. This will callfor a conference committeo and thosixty days allowed aro likly to boused np beforo both bodies can agrooon a final adjournment.

Tbo Houso has concurred in theSenate bill allowing corporations to doboth a banking and- - trust business incities of less than 100,000.

Chairman Ashcraft, of tho PrisonCommittee, has appointed Winfrey,Gambill and Whito to servo with thoSenato Committeo to invostigato thocondition of tbo Eddyvillo prison,

Tbo bill to establish tho thirty-firs- t

stitutional to mako now districts nowand so it went back to tho Committeoon Judiciary.

A resolution wbioh provides for paying tho expenses of tho Committeo thatattended Senator Salycr's funeral hasbeen passed. The Houso refused tone-co- pt

Tho days of intolerance, both in poll- -

WASHINGTON LETTER,

From our special correspondent.

Washington, D. C, May 3, 1807.

The Democratic members of tho Sen-

ate Finance Committee very properlydeclined to agree to tbo proposition toallow tbo amended tariff bill to bo re.ported to the Senato as soon as tho Re-

publicans havo finished work upon it,which they say will be first of next week.The Democratio members of tho com-

mitteo do not expect to be able to gettho bill changed in committee, nor dothey desiro to unnecessarily delay eitherits report to the Senato or its reachinga final vote, bnt they insist upon tak-

ing timo enough to go over the bill,which has been so extensively changedthat it is practically a new ono, in ordorto acquaint themselves sufficiently withit to inform their colleagues in theSenate, and the country, why they o

it, beforo it is reported to the Sen-

ate. To show that tbo demand is notmado for delay, tho Democrats of thocommittee havo employed two outsidetariff experts to assist them in goingover tbo bill.

Tho belief that Mr. Cleveland wantsto be tho Democratio candidate in 1000

is prevalent among Demoorats in Con-

gress, and that bis Now York speeobwas bis first movo in that direction.Speaking on tho subject, Representa-tive Richardson, ot Tennossee.iafd: "Assoon as he was out of ofiico before, aplan of campaign was organized in hisbehalf. Although his nominationseemed to bo tho result of a popularwavo in his favor, tho fact is that asentiment from him was adroitly stimu-

I shall bevery glad to seo tho issuo directly mado,for I do not beliovo Mr. Cleveland willfind a oorporal's guard to follow him.Thero is ono good thing about the din-

and tho campaign liar has undertaken afruitless job. For in-

stance, that one who has been allegingthat I bad found fault with the nominee for County Judgo is in lonesomebusiness; especially as it is well knownto every of party who caresto know tbo trntb, that I havo at alltimes entertained tbo vory highestpersonal regard for Mr. James P. Mil-
