bombabell that vti exploded In th tuip of the local RcpabUcaas by Um tiannaa market at Jacob Park laat week caaetay more worry to the leaders than anything elae that has occurred1! since the campaign open ed. The action of these, men may make it necessary to hare a new poll of the city taken. It certainly places a dif ferent complexion on the race in the county, and will result In the Republicans making a much harder fight than they have maintained was necessary to carry Use city and county for KcKln- ley. The gardeners met for the purpose of organising, as it was understood, a Republican club, and nearly two hun dred were present. A banner was fur.

nlsbed them, bearing the inscription. "McKlnley and Terkea Republican Club." Aa soon as some of the leadera saw the inscription they made a com plaint, and declined to proceed with the organisation of the dub until McKin- ley's name was stricken off. This was done. The Republicans cave the matter lltUe attention at the time, but re ports from vartooa parts of the city began to reach their ears to the effect that almost an the German rote would be against McKlnley. This set them to thinking, and it is said that a quiet poll was made, and the conditions were found to exist Just as reported.

The poll of the city has about been completed and in It many German Republicans have been placed aa vot ing the regular ticket, but since the -Jacob Park incident and the subsequent investigations, the Republicans have 7 ii TTTT!

The Tate Committee, which controls some of the leading negro politicians of the city, has not been Idle since Irwin got his nomination and has succeeded In stirring up much strife In the ranks of the negro voters. It may result in Irwin's slaughter by them. Then, again. Irwin la looked upon as the candidate of Sapp and the customhouse crowd, and the negroes have no especial love for this crowd, claiming that they have not been treated fairly In the distribution of patronage. Such opposition Is expected to cut a great figure In the race.

It is now almost certain that the Tate men will have a cougresrtonal candidate. A split in -the party ranks greater than that of two years ago in the Evans-Turner race la threatened, and ths Republicans are fully aware that Irwin will be knifed right and left In the city. They feared this would happen weeks ago, and then a determined effort was made to withdraw him, but no amount of cajolery and promisee had effect. Now they realise that between the Germans opposing UcKlnley and the negroes Irwin, ths situation looks pretty blue for them. Irwin has had conferences with Chairman Combs on more than-one occasion, but what they amounted to could never be learned.

There wasAnother yesterday, but all that was given out was that Irwin wanted to make some arrangements with Congressman Griffith, of Indiana, to assist him in bis campaign. Griffith has been asked to Kentucky by the National Committee, and Irwin wanted him to speak here next week at a rally to be held in the interest of win's candidacy. The; request waa granted, and he and Irwin will spesk together from the same platform. Sally At stoats Kail.

sir, about a week before the assassination of Senator Goebei send word to him by Mr. Edward Sauls-berry that he waa about to be assassinated and to be on his guard? asked Campbell. -i "Tes, air. I did send Senator Goebei such a warning. I had Information on which to base It.

promptly answered Day. That is an that we desire to ssk you now. Mr. Day. hut wo may recall you later." said Campbell.

Tbe defense asked no questions on this point, and the wKaese stood snide. A xtountain Witness. Joseph Wages, a merchant of Clay county, was next called. He testified to coming over from Manchester to London with Howard on January 29. and that Howard wore no mustache.

He was not hiss eiaiisimi. Witness Day Recalled. Witness Day waa recalled to the stand by the defense, and, in answer to a question of Owens, said that It was wot trom friends of Howard that he received the information upon which) he based the warning to Senator Goebei. Bar. White Testifies.

Sheriff Bev. White, of Clay county waa the next witness for tbe defense. He detailed, response to question of Mr. Owens, the trip with Howard trom Manchester through London and Winchester to Frankfort on January 2S and 2ft, He told of the brain being thirty-five minutes late at Winchester and of Howard getting off the train at Frankfort. He stated that Howard waa smooth-shaven at the time.

He said that Stub-blefleld was a man of bad moral character, and that his reputation for truth was not good. On cross-exami nation Mr. Campbell asked White IX Btubblefieid hadn't been granted a certificate aa a man of good enough moral character to teach school by tbe uncle of the witness. White answered that be did not know of It. Mr.

CampbeU then asked the witness of tbe attack that he made on a Commonwealth witness. Ira Steele, on a brain bound for Frankfort a day or two ago. White replied that he did attack tbe man on the train, and attempted to take a memorandum book from him. That be did so because. In passing down tbe aisle of tbe car.

Mr. Day. that he expected Howard at an earlier day than the 29th. He answered that he might have said something of that kind to Day, as be waa expecting Howard to arrive any day after De received mi letter. 4 Parker Somewhat Confused.

Former State Senator Ed. Parker, of London, said that hs sow Howard la London on January 28, but that hs did not talk to him then about the petition for a pardon. He did not see Howard again until the Thursday following the shooting. He met him at Frankfort and took him to the Executive office and Introduced him to Taylor. He heard How.

ard say to Taylor that hs came seeking a pardon, and beard Taylor respond that he could not take up the petition because of the condition of affairs here. The witness stated positively that Howard did not wear a mustache. He told of receiving a letter from John G. White relative to petitioning for a pardon, tor Howard, but said that hs answered ths letter and then destroyed ft without conferring with Attorney Henry Haslewood. his law partner, who waa la ths case with him.

On cross-examination. Parker said that he wrote John G. White that he would take tbe matter ap with the other attorneys, but that he never did so, feeling that It was not the proper time to petition the Gov. ernor for a pardon. Another reason given for his refusal to take up the pardon matter was that he did not care to violate the statute sgmlnst receiving money for securing a pardon, and that as an attorney he had received money zor oerenaing Howara.

In answer to Mr; Campbell's question an to how he knew that Howard wore a mustache it be was never In speaking distance) of him at London. Parker re plied that on seeing nun at a distance on the etreet he remarked to some one In his office that Howard, with smooth-shaven face, looked a handsomer man than any of hla attorneys, and that If hs kept up his appearance they could never clear him on tbe plea of emotion al insanity. Questioned more cloeely as to How- ard'e appearance. Parker said that though he bad seen him many times in the year previous to the assassination, he could not remember his appearance on a single ons of these occasions. His attention waa not drawn to Howard'a being smooth shaven on January 2S for aeveral months afterward, when the friends of Howard began to prepare bit i A Tilt With ths Witness.

Mr. Campbell 'next asked the question ss to the. time of Parker's appointment aa a Captain of the State Guard, Mr. Owens objected to the question, and ths Jury waa sent out while it was argued. The Judge instructed the Jurors not to return to court until 1:30 oclock.

After ths Jurors had left the court room Campbell arose sad said that tbe purpose of the question was to show that tbe appointment of the witness ss a captain or militia was at ths very formation of ths coniplracy which the Commonwealth charges resulted in the death or Senator Coebel. Parker arose snd aaldr dene and resist this insinuation.
