The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1875-06-30
FROM CASEY COUNTY.

LIBERTY, Casey Co., KY, June 90.
DEAR HERALD:-If it is in any manner
apropos-however, we'll not debate that
question, for the critic will relieve us of
that responsibility-but II simply pitch
in" and "drap you a few lines" while on
short visit to our former home, Liberty,
Casey courtyard this we do on account of
Our good opinion fyou personally, Mr.. Edi-
tor, and of your paper, which is the light
of Ohio, and an enterprise of whiciRe
are proud; and for the further reason that
we are ever ready to contribute of our
gleanings to the solicitous homo, and we
know there are those in your scope of the
moral vineyard who will hail with joy a
word, and we were about to say, face
from the county of which we are writing
To the Senior of the HERALD we beg to
communicate the compliment paid him by
the citizens of Casey, and especially those
of Middleburg and vicinity, both friends
and enemies of the Temperance cause, for
the earnest, learned, and matter-of-f fact
appeal while in their midst in 1874. "For
the good of the Order" they wish him
long and happy life, and eventually an
abundant harvest.
The cor popuH of old Casey is, "Democ-
racy forever" and they anxiously await
the approaching 9th. IT'S then they
hope-no, but could, if the Republican
standard bearers 'oould sing-to hear
something more definitely of and concern-
ing the third term, the civil rights bill,
amnesty, tariff, &c., &C., all of which
trivial matters have been as studiously
evaded by their chief pipers here, and
everywhere else, that we can hear from, as
they were by Gen. Harlan in his opening
speech at Hartford, when Col. McCreary
was hurting upon his very vulnerable po-
sitions grape and shell, alternately and ad
EJitm. On that day Hon. Thos. E. Moss,
Democratic nominee for Attorney General,
will address the people in his canvass
through this portion of Kentucky. By
the way, Hon. E. D. Walker and your
correspondent had the pleasure Of that
honorable gentleman's society from the
time we reached the train at Beaver Dam
until he left us at Cecilian junction, for
Franklin, Simpson county, the point at
ttph Inh ha horan tho and WALL
undertake to say, and we know whereof
we speak, that the Democratic party will
not wane or grow lukewarm wherever he
goes, for know We, "brederen" on the other
side of the house, that he has the docu-
ments, reads the papers, and is armed and
equipped as thus saith the law, SO that
the Hon. Cassius can frame his ideas so
as to be contented, at least Spiritually"
since twill be all the same to him wheth-
err the river "raises or rises" However,
no sensible Republican, Of course, will
have his ardor assuaged by what We write;
that would be folly in the superlative de-
gree. Aren't they, every mothers son of
them, child and children of parent
whose name is Vigilance" And don't
he, she or it Cor, you unwashed, who have
more interest in the subject than we, give
any gender your taste elects, and you'll!
more than likely hit center, for there S
something very dubious somewhere have
sentinels and body-guards, high privates
and low privates, committees of hospitals
ity and committees Of arrangement and
fagsf Yes, and that, too, here as well as
at Hartford; and though their man should
izz out in toto, the fuglemen, with most
approved unanimity, pronounce the whole
thing a victory of brains over enthusiasm.
Do you suppose Gen. Harlan felt Byronic
as he neared the railroad depot and be-
held waiting escort, the day previous
to his shooting that BIG speech into us?-
Certainly not, because (tEey say he's a
prosy, matter-offact man, yet
GLOW sweet to know there is an eye will
Mark our coming,
And grow brighter when we come"
'Tis southeast to have ones OPTICS,
after a term of months confinement por-
ing over documents and comparing the
Ter seriptd and the Le.c non scripta, again
dwell upon the beauties of Lincoln, Boyle
Marion, Washington and Nelson counties
as they now are, clothed with verdure in
elfable, crimped, tasselated, plain, rich
wave-dotted-the home of the gleefu
lambkin, the stately OK, and the symmet'
rical racer. Dear Wallace, inasmuch a,
you were once "blue grass" fellow, i
may be that were you here more printer
ink would be scattered round, and-wel
but, however, we'll modestly (we'rc
proverbial fol that yirtue) kiss our hand,
