His appearance in the E'eventh district has caused m -h a serioUB split in the party down there, that it will take years to heal th rlipsnsion An immense crowd greeted Gov. Beck ham at Hickman, Ky. A significant feat ure of the meeting, showing the trend of sentiment towards the Democracy, was that Hon. R T. Tyler, who baa not affil iated with the party for seven years, pre sided and introduced the Governor to tbe audience. Worse .and still more of it. The pos tal scandal and fraud in connection with tbe care of the Indians were enough for the Republican National Adminiatraion to contend with, but now comes news that a stupendous "land gref ." has been unearthed on the Pacific coast. The Or egonian of Portland, Ore., thus tells about thia latest Bcandal : Tbe government has unearthed a stu pendous "land graft" ring that has been carrying on a business in avery well-timbered area on the Pacific slope. TniB ring has not only acquired "basb" lands by "dummies" and other fraudulent means; it has debauched State land of ficials, making them hirelings or part ners in the business. It has maintained in tbe general land office at Washington agents whose duties were to "leak" infor mation about proposed reserves and other profitable nutter; and by use of money nas lDlluenceu placing of a re boundaries to its own interests. The central figures of thia conspiracy are said to be in San Francisco. William J. Burns, in the secret service in the Treas ury Department, and A. B Hugh, Assis tant Attorney General in the Interior Department, were in Portland last week gathering evidence that will help the government in prosecutirg tbe instiga tors of the conspiracy. They interview ed a number of men who had been paid for tbe use of their names in applications for State school land; also certain notar ies public who are accused of certifying false and fraudulent affidavits.

Judge Humphrey, of Louisville, Tells Why He Will Vote Democratic Ticket. Cclicves in Democracy's Principles and Believes Democratic Hole is Best. For the State. O.ie of tbe atriM g features of the, present campaign in Kentucky is the number of Democrats who have "re turned to their first love" and who are now advocating the election of the State and county ticketa. Not in many years has the party presented as solid a front, and the harmony that once more prevails points unmistakably to a Democratic victory on Nov. 3rd. The list of those who have returned to tbe ranks includes some cf the most prominent men in the State. Notable among them ia Judge Alex. P. Humphrey, one of Louisville's foremost citizens and among the State's leading lawyers. At a big Democratic rally at Louisville thia week, Judge Humphrey addressed a crowd of over 5,000 of his fellow citizens, and told why he ia going to vote the Democratic ticket Nov. 3rd. Among other things he Baid : For some years past I bavo bceu most regular ly Irregular In my Democracy. In this tlmo I bavo found that there Is nothing my Republican friends think so well of as a Democrat who Is in dependent; and by Independence Is meant a Democrat who votes tbe Republican ticket. It Is this strict definition of independence, this inability of good rule to work both ways, that keeps Philadelphia solidly Republican while it encourages the Citizens' Union In New York. The secession from tbo Democratic party lu Kentucky In the Presidential years of 189G and 1000, and in the State election of 1899, was not caused by any personal pique or disappointed ambition. It was largely of those who had neither held nor wished to hold oflice; of those who had been all their lives Democrats from conviction, from sentiment and from prejudice. All three of these things enter Into our politics. We were at variance, and radically at variance, with the platforms of 189(3 and 1900, and we re garded the election law as the vital issue in the State election of 1S99. The election law has been replaced by another, of which I shall speak in a moment; aud time has tried and events rendered idle the differ ences of 180G and 1000. Under these conditions there is every reason why those of us who believe In Democratic principles aud wish for the success of the Demo cratic party should resume our place in its ranks. V I do not uudertako to say that our election law is yet an ideal law; but I know of no law In any of the States which Is fairer to both political parties than is tho law of Kentucky. Nor do I (hid In the programme of tho Republican party any definite proposition of amendment or change In our method of registration and election. Nor, considering what has been done by tbe Democratic Legislature in this respect, do I find any reason for thoso who have heretofore been Democrats continuing outside of the party or ganization on account of the Issues of 1899. V Again premising that I am now speaking to those persons who bellevo that party govern ment Is essential to a government by. the people, and to those persons who have been Democrats from conviction, it seems to me clear that we cau no longer excuse ourselves from taking an active part In the selection and election of Democratic candidates. V Speaking for myself, and asldefrom sentiment and prejudice, I have two present and sufllclent reasons for being a Democrat. I think tho tariff should be radically reformed, and I think we should prevent a recurrence of carpetbag gov ernments In tho Southern States. Tho tariff is becoming every day more and moro an issuo of vital importance. The events of the day ate pressing this Issue cloer and closer upon us. A good deal Is said in political platforms and in campaign speeches regarding the evils of large industrial combinations It is the freedom of competition which is bounded and curtulled by our larlfl'law. V The other question which has threatened the South since tho closo of the war and will always threaten it In the absence of a strong Democratic party, is tho enforcement of tho Fifteenth Amendment. There is hardly a writer upon political science who docs not acknowledge that the passage and enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment was the greatest political crime ever committed against a free people. The Democratic party has no sort of prejudice against those who wcro supposed to bo protected by the enactment. It owes to that race the duty of education and enlightenment, and is perform ing that duty up to tho limit of tho means of tho people. Nor docs it fear what that race, if left to itself, would do, But it Is Impossible for us to forget tbe resttit of the combination of a handful of white men. aided and abetted by tho National Republican party, with its Ignorant vote imposed upon the South rn States by the passage of the Fourteenth and fifteenth Amend ments. And It hai not been very many years 'since tbo Republican party endeavored to enact a force blil which would bare compelled the Southern States cither to subult again to uni versal plunder or to Invite tbe Ntional Govern ment to reoccupy (u territory aud govern ifby the military power of the nation. V In regard to State and. local Issues the plat forms of both parties promise the same things. As for men, we are able to say; from the exper ience of many years that the Democratic party Is well fitted to govern us la our State, and local affairs. 1 might recite one honorable and pros perous Democratic administration after another, and challenge a comparison as to the peace and welfare of the State and city duriug any one of them with the best Republican administration that has at any time been given us. Aud agalu, I repeat that there Is no good rea son why a Democrat or a real Independent should prefer to iutrust the affairs our State and city government to tbe hands of tbe Republican party rather than to the bands of the Democratic party. V Wo arc asked to vote the Republican party Into power because it is the party of peace, of lw and obedience to law, of conservatism, of order and obedience to order. I might ask you to go over with me the events of the winter of 1SW 1900, but they aro fresh In your memory. What- ever anyone may think of the contests for tho I offices, they were instituted in pursuance of law-1 ful right, before tribunals prescribed by statute , for their consideration., Do you call that man a law-abiding citizen who obeys the law only ' when it is to his advantage? Who acquiesces In ! judgments which redound to his profit? After I all had been done, that was done, and when tho State of Kentucky was in tbe very throes of an archy, some of the calmest, most conservative and wisest of the members of tbe Republican patty met with men of similar character In the Democratic party. Terms of adjustment were agreed to honorable to both parties. Feace and order vmtld have been tlte fruit of this endeavor. What happened f The compact vxu torn to fragment) by thote in potcer, and countels eatt to the winds, and by tchom t Xot by the Democrat!, but by those in control of the Republican party.
