saving TO the farmer about one fifth in the way of

NAMES are things was the trisyllabio re-
nark Of cniGhrated British statesman Even

NAMES are things" was the trisylIabic re-
mark of a celebrated British statesman. Even
so in Maryland. Lawyer WAS candidate
for the Legislature. On an election tour
through the northern portion of Hartford coun
ty he stopped at the house Of an old farmer,
who asked him what he was. The lawyer not
knowing the farmers politics, and wishing to
be on the safe side, answered, after some hest
tation, that he was democratic Repub!i
can IA what ?" "a Democratic Republi.;
can" repeated the legal gentleman ..Well
sir, said the man Of the soil, slowly. Il am
very fond of turkey very but don't like tur'
key buzzard. "-Harper's Magazine.
"OLD KA1N1UcK, What was won IN
Kentucky is thus summed up: 1.-The Demo
cratic majority in Kentucky will exceed h'ty
thousand. The Radicals have not carried q
single county in tho State. With all their 81.
forts, with the aid of the independents win Tue
acquisition of the colored vote, with perfect
oreanization arrayed against party whose
strength has made it weak at least In dlscl-
pine they have been able to achieve nothing:
They had tie eager. undeveloped assurance of
a new hope to inspire them. They had en-
countered divided and undried antagonist.
The result is an over whelmipg victory tor the
Democratic party.
