The Angus. Election. y

The interval to elapse before the Au-
gust election will be upon us is narrow
ing down until il can be computed in
weeks. But little more than four weeks
remain until the FIRST Monday in AuguIt,
and it behooves Us TO bear this IN mind
and prepare for the work to be accom-
1plished in that period. The fact that
ccthe Democratic majority in the State is
overwhelming, and that Governor Ste
venson. as its candidate, is sure of an
election. tends to produce certain de
gree of political apathy from which the
S ate should be aroused. We are aware
that much of this feeling is owing to the
fact that there is a general desire to await
the action of the New York Convention
and TO open both campaigns at once upon
the announcement of the Presidential
ticket 1t is, perhaps, as we'll that the
active campaign should not begin gener-
ally until then, but much effective prepar-
alton .Sssss is ras.sle II -sAe interxals ssaa
the necessary work should rot be neglec-
ted. The Central Committee should be
making out its list Of appointments for
Electors for the State at large, and ar
ranging for work for the Electors for
Congressional districts County Commit
teee should provide for public meetings
and speeches by candidates for the vari
Gus local Offices. and where these are not
speakers, prepare to put upon the stump
the most efficient young men Of the par
ty. Immediately upon the announce
ment of the ticket there should begin
Throughout the entire length and breadth
Of the State an active and vigorous cam
paign, to continue without abatement
until the August election Making the
nominations at New York the occasion
and looking to the November election as
the ultimate result, the campaign in that
! interval should be conducted with special
reference to its effect upon the State cleo
ton. The Importance of full DeSo-
cratic vote in August cannot he Owe ss-
timateo, and should be constantly enforc-
ed upon the people 1t will be the first
voice of Democracy after the action of
/ the New York Convention-the first gun
for the ticket II we fail to sustain our
majority of last year it will be claimed
+ by the Radicals as an indication of de-
dining strength. Every one in Ken
tucky knows that we have gained largely
4 since the last vote of the State, but un-
less our strength comes to the polls We
will get no credit for it, while, on the
contrary, every vote which stays at home
will be counted against us. a full vote
/ for Stevenson--a majority Of sixty thou
sand-will be the best blow Kentucky
could strike for the New York ticket. 1t
will be better than majority of one
hundred thousand in November. Let
every Democrat see TO it that lie does his
duty The work is before him, and eve
ry man who appreciates the magnitude
of the ultimate issue at stake should
give himself to the work eheerfully, Wig
orously and Effectively.

Sasem yVuchcraft Revived In
E0vFH,

Il case OF remarkable superstition has
come to light IN this city which hasczus-
cd general surprise. 1t seems that some
time since German lady, living ia an
eastern precinct Of the city, known as
kecklerviile, was taken sick and exhibi-
ted some strange symptoms. Physicians
We're called, but could neither define tie
disease nor afford relief, aud il is stated
the woman subsisted oyar two months
upon nothing but wine, as no other nour-
ishmsnt would remain upon her stomach,
which also refused all medicines admin
istered. A short time sincca spiritual
adviser was called, who gave the start
ling information that, ia his judgment,
tie invalid was bewitched, and that it
the premises were searched something
could be found that would prove his state
meDt. Accordingly thorough search was
instituted inside the house and out, but
without success, until, as last resort,
the feather bed upon which the woman
lay was ripped open. In the centre Of
ii was found a wreath OF eathcrs, repre-
senting bouquet OF roses. This discov-
cry created quite an excitement in the
neigbborbood, and among certain class
Of believers suspicion fell upon a lady
residing a few doors distant from the
scene OF mystery. The spiritual adviser
was again consulted, aud he asserted
that the mysterious charm indicated that
the person who placed it there was q
witch aud that if it we're removed from
its concealment the witch would enter
the house through the door in less than
five minutes. Curiously enough, the
very woman who had been suspected as a
witch entered the room simultaneously
with the removal OF ths charm, when
she was accused, face TO face, with hav-
ing bewitched the patient. She vas then
piled vssts quesfious by the fSicnas -cf
the sick woman, and in reply stated that
she had possessed q witch book some
time ago but had loaned it that the per-
son supposed TO be bwitched had fire.
quently borrowed il, and that il beviteh-
ed it was her own doing.
About ten days after this occurrence
the woman died. A medical post NOR
tenn examination was had, when it was
discovered that she died from cancer iu
the stomach. She was buried last Sat
urday.
To the philosophical the case is plain
enough and easily account. for, snd
why in this enlightened age thoroughly
educated persons should be linked with
such stupid and ignorant superstition is
a matter of great and universal surprise
The presence of the feather wreath
can be conjectured as merely an accident
A little girl living in that vicinity has

purchaser, after the bo4uet lost its nov
