majority IN the Legislature elect. Their mode Of
ahhihiiating the Clay majority, is to claim all such
members as are returned from counties which in
1898, ooted for Jackson-although avowed CLAW
men, and elected in opposition to Jackson competi
tors. Another eXpedient, is to claim every member
who 'oas formerly Jackson man--thus denyinn the
faot and the possibility of change. In this work OF
misrepresentation the Kentucky Argus, Kendull's
late paper, takes the lead-a print of Infamous char

There is no doubt Of the complexion of the Ken
