LUDLOW, KY.-It is just a month be-
fore the battle for Aldsrmanic honors,
and yet we have heard of no entries for
the struggle. Come out, gentlemen, and
"showy your hands," this unusual bashful-
ness will avail you nothing. AS the Sc

their suffrage. and while on this subject

heretofore so conspicuously concentra-
ted in the "Bloody Fourth" is at present
most judiciouSly distributed throughout
the city, the First and Second wards get
ting their full quota. Alas, poor Fourth,

that can not be easily got over, hence the
cause Of the unusual quietness in city
political circles, and the setback OF
promises made by the firm of "Bob and
Me" in particular, and the Ring in gem
eral. We do not claim to be prophet,
or the son Of a prophet, but mark if our
predictions don't turn out true..
