It will so adjust and readjust our trade
relations with other nations that the wage
earners of this country will maintain their
present proud position of being the br-st

all the world. It will successfully grapple
with the problem of unlawful trusts and

"Tho monetary standard of thin country

And wo urgently call upon our senators

to maintain the good faith of the nation nnd

cerning recent Incidents of his ofllctnl
career , nil ecntlmcnts save those of genuine
happiness \\ero Very evidently banished this
nfternoon and evening -by the magnificent
welcome tendered him by the people of his
own city and state. From 4 o'clock , when
the welcoming committee crowded Into his
private car upon its arrival nt Toledo , until
9 o'clock , when the general censed grasping
outstretched hands , the scene wns n. con-
rUnht spontaneous ovation.
Smiles and ( cars repeatedly struggled for
the mast6ry over the secretary's bronzed
countenance ns he gazed Into the eager facts
of the multitudes who loudly'and convinc
ingly Insisted thnt "Algor's nil right , " nnd
no dissonant voice wn heArd. Darkness
fell during the speeches from the reviewing
stnnd In front of the city hall , giving op
portunity for throwing a searchlight upon
the features of General Alger , drawn In
crayon on a canvas sixteen feet square , hung
from the city hnll front and surrounded by
patriotic dccorntlons. A great crush at the
indoor reception wan the flnnl feature.
The special train which met General Algcr
nnd party nt Toledo consisted of six conches.
It cnrrled 600 members of the reception com
mittee. When the Pennsylvania train ar
rived the general's car was besieged by
friends. General Algerwas escorted
through the reception trnln " nnd greeted

Headed by nbout 300 bicyclists , over 1,000

Mayor Maybury , after calling to order ,
said : "General Alger , I should despair , sir ,
of being able to voice the heartiness of this
welcome , were it not already shown in this
vast concourse , through which you have
passed. It will go forth to the world that
where you are best known , there you are
best boJoved and best appreciated. It will
go forth to the world , a duo notice that the
standard of high character. , built up > by
patlenco and perseverance , honesty and up
rightness , cannot be thrown down by
slander.
I welcome you home , sir , to a people who
love Justice and fair play. This welcome la

Governor Plngree in his speech , made on
behalf of the state- made
, - some pointed ref
erences to Incidents leading to Alger's homecoming
coming- and tired some characteristic shots
nt thenewspapars , which , he asserted , were
largely responsible. The governor s > ald that
Alger's best service , for his country was la
his oftlclent management of the War depart-1
incut. Said he :
Without vour energy , business ability and
experience1 no ono knows how long It might
have lasted. You were handicapped by ma
chinery In your department which was an
cient and obsolcto. iln spite of It you con
tributed more than any ono else to bringing
the conflict to an end , with a loss ol Hfo
so small ns to astonish the world.
The facts which' led you to submit your
resignation to the president aro-well known.
The treatment which you have received has
Justly aroused the resentment of fair-minded
Americans. The people of Michigan loojc
upon the manner In which your withdrawal
from the cabinet was forced as an Insult to
the state. They are ready today to rebuke
the cupidity of , the politicians , high and
low. They are hero to show their contempt
for the attacks of a venal press.
A mean-Bplrited and unscrupulous press
has carried on a campaign of deliberate
misrepresentation and lies concerning your
business management of the War depart
ment. Thn people Of ( Michigan know that
these attacks are absolutely without justi
fication. In Bnlto of the obsolete customs
nnd systems of your department you con
tributed more than nny ono to bring the war
with Spain to a quick end. You did so al
though hindered by the Interference of oth
ers to handle business or military affairs.
I know thnt some people think It un
wise upon nn occasion like this to glvo
voleo to such Rentlmenls as I have been ex
pressing. I say to tbcnl that truth Is never
out of place. I also say that there Is no
better way of showing our appreciation of
your worth as a citizen of Michigan than by
exposing the methods of those who have
been n part of the conspiracy to discredit
you and Insult tbo state and its people.
( iciiural IN ( ililil to lie Home.
General Alger , responding , said :
I can command no language to express my
gratitude to you for this royal welcome
homo. I am Klad from tbo bottom of my
heart to bo released from official care and
to again enter the old homo and .live among
the people of Michigan.
Since I went away , two nnd a half years
ago , as you know , -the country has paused
through a terrific struggle. fTho office of
which I was tbo head was taxed to the ut
most of every man's strength who occu
pied arty position in It. I gave my best-
thought nnd honest effort nnd did every
thing I could to carry out my part of that
great work. What has been done is a mat
ter of record and I am perfectly willing to
rest the case with my countrymen , Every
transaction , every order nnd everything
that was done in conducting that war Is a
matter of record and the people have a
right to have that record searched ,
And now. my fellow citizens , I come homo
without a grievance. During that struggle
and whllo that great work wns upon me I
can truthfully say that I hs.d from the presi
dent all the support that he could glvo. Wo
wont through that struggle 'and ' came out
victorious. W0 transr-ortcd neroeu the aeas
more than 150.000 men ono wqy and the
othir without an accident. Wo fought bat
tles in th.P. Philippines , in Cuba and In
Porto Rico' and wo never lost a battle , a
color , a prisoner or a gun , Wherever the
American flag was planted by the American
soldier there It stands and there It dhall
stand foreVer. But. as I eald , I have no
speech to make. I am glad to be among you
again , a private citizen and ( hat I ran travel
these streets and meet you In social and
business intercourse and I propose to stay
hero the balance of my life. Good night.
The closing scene was a reception In the
city hall corridor. Mrs. Alger and a score of
other women , with several of the gcncral'a
relatives , vlen'ed the scene from a canopied
platform built Into the main stairway ami

FHAN'KFOHT , Ky. . Aug. 2.-The follow
ing message on the Clay county situation him
been Issued by Governor Uradlcy to the
press for the- public and the legislature :
A number of newspapers have been advls-
ing me ns to my duties regarding the Clay
county matter nnd denouncing or criticising
me for falling to do what they advised.
It Is suggested by some thnt martial law-
bo declared , by others thnt 1 nt once nrresl
nnd hnvo the violators of the Taw tried and
summarily punished , etc. .
The trouble In Clay county , while bad
enough , hns been magnified by newspaper
correspondents. Burch Stores , Wills How
ard. ( Jeorgo Uaker. Will White , John Daker ,
{ rank Clark and Tom Maker , seven In num
ber , have been killed in a period of some
thing more than n year. The slayers of
nn these men hnvo been indicted except
those of John Dnkcr , Frank Clnrk nnd Tom
Baker. James Howard , who killed George
Baker , obtained a change of venue to Lnurcl ,
where ho was convicted and subsequently
the verdict set aside. Tom Dnkcr , on change
of venue , was convicted of killing White ;
the court of appeals reversed the Judgment
and ho was subsequently balled on order uf
the Judge of the Lincoln circuit court. The
slayers of Burch Stores nud Wills Howard
were Indicted nnd obtained a change of
venue to Knox county , where the cases tire
now pending , except thnt ngnlnst Tom
Baker , who was klHcd shortly after the
order on change of venue was made. So
that all these cases have been ncted on
except the three named , nnd every step
taken that can be bad by law.
I know nothing concerning the killing of
any of these men except Tom Baker. That
was a most cowardly murder. The circuit
court was then In session nnd nbout 125
soldiers present. The suggestion that I de
clare mnrtlnf law Is ridiculous. The consti
tution of Kentucky does not allow any law
suspended except by the general assembly
or under Its authority. The Courier-Journal
very forcibly demonstrated the inability of
the governor to take such n step.
As to the suggestion thnt the governor nr-
rest nnd convict these men , the wiseacres
have probably forgotten that the powers - > f
the governor are merely executive nnd
that he cnnnot try or pass sentence upon
criminals. This Is purely the prerogative
of the Judiciary.
Dt'iunnilH Cniinnt lie Granted.
It hns been suggested , however , that the
governor shouIM appoint n circuit judge and
commonwealth's attorney who would look
nftcr these cases. Unfortunately for these
critics , the governor has no Biich power.
Ho canpot. under the law , appoint a pro
tern commonwealth nttorney under any state
of cose , and cannot appoint a judge , unless
the Judge Is absent , declines to preside or
Is sworn off the bench , nnd not oven then
until the clerk holds an election and certi
fies to him thnt no one possessing the quail-
Qcallons of circuit judge was selected. And
notwithstanding the constitution nnd laws
do not nllow the governor to do these things ,
ho Is denounced and condemned for not do
ing them. In this Instance , tha regular
tUdge is related to the Howards and cannot
preside in any case whore they are involved.
The moment he declines. Daugh White , ono
of the parties to the feud and the circuit
court clerk , will hold an election. It may
safely bo assumed that ho will not take
any step which wouIYl result in his injury.
But it is suggested that the governor has
failed to do anything until the sending cf
troops at the time Tom Baker was killed.
It may be said In response the troops were
Jth.cn. present and their presence availed
nothing , either in preserving Baker's' life
or arresting1 his murderers. I might Dcnd
soldiers today to preserve the peace , " but
owing to the character of warfare there In
dulged In , it would be next to Impossible for
them to do anything. There are not enough
members of the state guard in Kentucky
to patrol that county. If sent there while
the circuit court Is not In session they could
not bo placed under the control of any locnl
civil authority , owing to existing conditions ;
and past experience shows that when at
tending circuit court they were powerless
to save Tom Baker's life and were not used
to defend nnd protect a grand Jury in the
investigation. Indeed , it may well be
doubted whether a grand Jury would have
found an Indictment If impaneled. The gov
ernor cannot Inspire grand juries with the
courage to Indict , witnesses with the cour
age to testify , nor petit Juries with the
courage to convict.
The presence of soldiers might prevent
pitched battles or fights by armed bodies of
men , but such conflicts are not common and
if such were contemplated they woul'd occur
doubtless nt some point distant from the
soldiers. Had the soldiers been in Man
chester at the time the Gilfllns and Philpots
had their more recent conflict they would
not have prevented It because the scene of
the dlfllculty was about ten miles from Man
chester. It Is contended by some that the
governor should Interfere on account of this
recent Philpot controversy. It has not been
a great while since four men were Killed
on the streets of Hot Springs , but I have
never heard it suggested that the governor
of Arkansas should send soMlcrs to the city.
Action of I.atv In Prompt.
The survivors of the Phllpot-Grlflln fight
have nil been arrested , one side acquitted ,
the others awaiting the healing of a wound
for * a trial. In this Instance the oftlcern
of the law promptly arrested the parties.
Soldiers were not needed to make the ar
rests and I could not have It done. The
Philpot trouble IB tn nowise connected with
the White-Baker feud.
It is said I might order everybody dis
armed In Clay county. The constitution
hears to the citizen the right to bear urms
openly and such persons couCd not lawfully
bo disarmed , unless engaged In .some uct
manifesting a disposition to break the
peace. It would require many days to visit
these people and disarm them , and ns soon
as It became apparent that such was the
purpose , weapons would bo placed where
the soldiers could not find them , but \\liuro
their owners could readily obtain them for
use. Now , It must be borne in mind that
If the soldiers were sent to Clay , the gov
ernor would have to direct their movements ,
B. P. White Is the sheriff nnd It Is charged
that the jailer nnd county judge nro his
friends and sympathizers.
It is i > fain that the fault Is with local
officers und the public sentiment that sur
rounds them. The governor hns taken every
step authorized by law and can do no more
until statutes nro enacted Increasing' his au
thority. He should bo empowered in iiuch
Instances to appoint a judge and the judge
to appoint a commonwealth's attorney. The
judge should be authorized to order the
sheriff of any county in Kentucky to sum
mons a grand jury from such county and to
act as sheriff during the sessions of the
grand jury and the trial , If such is held ,
In tbo county , nnd for this purpose vested
with necessary authority to act. Instead of
hampering the Judge by making hlu right
to change the venue depend on the com
monwealth's attorney he should be author-
Izfil to act on his own motion.
In my llrst mensage to the general as
sembly attention was called to the mob
spirit nbrnad In the state and the legislature
asked for appropriate remedy , but that rec-
ommcndntlon was unheeded. At that Hesslott
a special me age was sent to the game body
on the same subject , wblsh was Ignored ,
At the called cession the game and addi
tional recommendations were submitted.
These were ignored in part , but what wan
known as the Martin bill , more particularly
directed ngalnst turnpike raiders , was
passed.
At the next regular session a nrw legis
lature came In and again recommendations
were made on the same subject. These ,
however , were unnoticed and that body re
pealed the only effective section of the Mar
tin bill and came within a few votca of
repealing It over the governor's veto. The
majority of that legislature was thoroughly
partisan. For the first time In the hUO'-y
} f the state the governor recommended that
charitable and penal institutions bo lifted
out of politics , as had been done in many
of the states , to their great betterment , lut
Instead of adopting that suggestion , -lie most
partlean measure ever heard of was passed ,

by which the republicans were legislated out
and the democrats legislated in.
From the tlmo I cnme- into office to this
moment I have steadily and faithfully la
bored to maintain the peace of the common
wealth nnd have used every power con
ferred by law nnd repeatedly asked for IcKls-
Intion which would assist me. The news
papers which BO fondly condemned me
failed to condemn democratic governors dur
ing the Rowan and Perry county feuds and
this condemnation Is only another pvldtnce
that the calling of a legislative crHnlon in
the midst of a political campaign , when the
dominant party in the legislature has con
demned the governor in advance , would
avail nothing for admission on their part
that legislation is necessary would be a il.it
contradiction of their assumption that the
governor is to blame.
