The Frankfort Capital, a Republican orpan tells the truth when It says: "If R in Kentucky means what it appears to mean at this writing, the people will Bee to it that Republicanism in the future shall remain only as a useful minority." Hon. V. J. Bryan is expected to attend the Democratic rally at Ohio. The occasion is to be made one memorable In the history of the State, and many distinguished Bjwakers will be present- The pro-pram is to have it begin on the 15th of September and continue until the 2tt Chaunov Depew thinks that $100-000,000 gold a year will come in from Alaska. We will then repudiate our obligations says the Stanford Journal, by paying them ofl in cheap gold. Stiver Hill shoot up to the moon In priee. Rothschild will become a silver bug and the gold bugs will chango to silver bugs. TJio utoiioy devil will bcmonu angul of mercy, and hell will bo a summer reesort. TiiEttK was a tiino whon Honrv vigorously opposed the gold standard, and the following was then his advice in the Courier-Journal to the newspapers of the country: All newspapers in the land not owned body and breeches by tho money kings or tho gold conspiracy ouht to call public attention day after day to the lamentable conditions produced by the anti-silver legislation. As Henry has ceased to talk about the hard conditions resulting from anti-silver legislation tho presumption is logical that the erstwhile Prince Rupert among silver leaders is now owned "body and breeches by tho money king or the gold conspiracy."

TnKBE was an alleged interview with MfTEmuiett Dickson, of Paris, published in tho Cincinnati Enquirer some days ago, in which It was said that Mr. Dickson told tho reporter that tho National Democratic party in Kentucky was made up of "old-time Whigs, home-guards during the war and Shylocks." Wo do not believe that Mr. Dickson ever mado that statement withholding comment until Mj Dickson has an opportunity to confirm or deny the accuracy of tho report, says the Loxington Herald. "Why a newspaper could nover live. In Lewis county,1' Ib the heading of a long article in the Vanceburg Sun, the point being that the county ofllcere don't comply with law in advertising. A suggestion though is to go ahead and mako tho Sun shine brightly as it is now doing, and all will naturally be drawn to the sun. A paper never could live in Lincoln county until Walton -made such growl that all helped him, says Col. Craddock in tho Paris Kentuckian Citizen. Ten years ago it was not considered respectable to be a Republican iti Kentucky. Now it isn't really respectable to be a Republican of tho kind that is running party affairs hero and at Washington. They used to call it tho "nigger party," now the negroes are about tho only decent ones loft who afQliato with tho gang headed by Hunter, Deboo, Todd, Taylor, Franks, Sapp, Erdman and their tribe. And the negro suffers in reputation by tho association. Frankfort Capital. Ik tho "National" Democrats expect to elect Hindman clerk of tho Court of Appoals, as Wattorson vainly predicts, it is more than tho candidate himself believes or anyboby else for or against him. The Lvbanqn Falcon says: "Hindman, tho yellow jacket candidate for clerk of the Court of was in Lebanon Saturday nnd frankly confessed that ho had not tho slightest hopes of being elcctei'. Just sol Brother Hindman 's sole mission Is to try and seduce enough Democrats from their party allegiance to enablo the Republicans to win, but his efforts will prove a dismal failure." The Louisville Post, one of the phining lights of the so-called Nat tonal Democratic party, concedes the election of S. J. Shackclford,tho Democratic nominee for the Clerk of the Court of Appeals, by a plurality of 25,00, and all unbiased people who make any claim to a knowledge of the situation agree with it. In a interview Hon. Z. F. Smith, of Public Instruction hays: I have recently boon through tne western part of the state, and I believe Shackelford, the Democratic nominee for Clerk of tho Court of Appeals, is safe for a majority of nut loss than 0,000 or 30,000. The Republicans will not make anything like the effort to carry the state that they did last year. They are disheartened, disappointed and divided. Tho action of the Gold Democrats will help tho regular ticket. If the Populist candidate for Clerk of tho Court of Appeals persists in running ho may possibly draw off 8.000 or 10,-000 votes not more, but even then Shackelford will get fully 20,000 majority. Given power under a pledge to reform the currency in tho interests of the people tho Republican party has reformed the tariff in tho interests of the trusts. The tariff law already in effect has been heralded as having been mado in opposition to the sugar trust. The lie is given to this claim by tho rapid and enormous rise in sugar trust certificates as soon as the conference report is presented to tho house. The increased value of these certificates could have had no other cause than the contemplated tariff law Tho pretense that the law was formed against the wishes and desires of the sugar trust Is shown to be false. The absurdity of tho claim that republican victory would bring prosperity is shown by the condition of the country. Times are bettor to-day than a year ago for nobody except the tariff monopolists. Yet tho administration has been in power over five months and the election was nine months no. Tho Republican party is now on trial. It will bo convicted of obtaining power under false pretenses and bo sentenced to letirc from oiQco at the first election. THE CONSUMER PAYS IT. The Dispatch still thinks that the consumers pay the protective tariff. We invite tho Dispatch to specify some article, tho product of an established American industry, which does not sell for less now than, when the protective tariff was imposed upon it. Louisville Commercial. This is easy to answer. Before the Dlnpley bill was passed the merchants of Louisville wero selling 20 pounds of sugar to tho dollar. They are now soiling sixteen to seventeen pounds of sugar to tho dollar. Sugar has advanced about one cent per pound on account of the protective tariff imposed on refined sugar. Will the Commercial please tell the people who consume sugar what foreigner pays that extra cent per pound for them ? Louisville Dispatch.

Enloe Is a tall, handsome man, in the prime of life, and is as agreeable in conversation, as he is entertaining and instructive in the columns of the Dispatch. He made a fine impression upon all who mot him and impressed them as one eminently fitted to mould public opinion upon all the vital questions of the day. Ho, like Watterson, Is a native of Tennessee, and like hLm has served with distinction in the Congress of the United Stites. and daily combats and confutes the arguments of the "Star Eyed Goddess" either by superior .reasoning, patriotism, and fldolity to Democracy, or by reprinting Watterson's utterances and writing of Id-'W showing i.Iie glaring inconsistency of his position to-day upon the subject of finance. Thus out of ids own month is the Dispatch convicting the distinguished renegate. Col. Enloo was much pleased with Richmond and with the support accorded the new prop9r by Madison county. He already has a larger number of readers than the Courier Journal and only asks that the Democrats of Kentucky give their paper proper encouncment to insure it) permanent success. 1 WORLD'S LIBB THe GREHTHI John Robinso FRANKLIN BROS Enormous Shows, Combined.
