HENRY WATTERsoN, of the Cou-
rier Journal, has accepted a nomi-
nationfor Congress, rendered almost
unanimously by the electors of the
Louisville district. 1t is intimated
that his opponent will be ex-Secre-
tary Bristow. The district, how
ever, is overwhelmingly Democratic,
and Mr.. Watterson can be easily
elected over any opposition. The
district is composed of the counties
of Jefferson and Oldham. The
late Representative was a young
man named Edward Young Par
sons, Of Louisville, who was never
before in politics or public life.
Mr.. Watterson richly deserves the
compliment intended by the Dem
ocracy of his district. He has per.
formed valient public service anC
proved his ability, worth and ca,
pacity. Should he 90 to Congress
he will not fall below the higl
standard usually attained by th'
leading Kentucky members. As
Woodworking well-trained journals
he has become thoroughly ac
quainted with the best theories 0
Republican and Democratic govern
ment and familiar with the cond.
tiou of the country and the wants G
the people. Such a man can hay
: great influence nCongress and sery
! his people faithfully and eficientl
from the start, without that perio
, Of apprenticeship and probation re
e quired by the novice fresh from

t congratulate the people upon the
c choice without congratulating NJ
Watterson so much upon leaving
e far more powerful position to tai
e a seat in Congress.

COUNTY DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
HAYES, LETTER.

Governor Hayes letter of accept
ance is a rather pleasing, common
place document without being
strong. There is nothing in it to
inspire the masses or redouble the
zeal Of the great army Of office
seekers and ofice-holders. He IA
yors civil service reform, but this,
while commendable, is not what
the party workers desire. They
are opposed to it, and the pressure
would be SO great that he would
not be able to enforce his ideas
1t is too late to talk about REFORM
ing the Republican party from
within that must be done as the
Augean stables we're reformed. Mr..
Hayes says most emphatically that
he favors a single Presidential
term for one man. This is a bid
for the anti Grant and Coneerya-
tive element of the country, and a
little premature in view of the fact
that he has not entered upon hi:
single term to which he propose;
to restrict himself. The sincerity
of such a declaration subsequent
to election could not be questioned
or doubted. Then on the currency
question he goes further than hii
party dare go in declaring that h'
would oppose any step backward
He must imagine that his party il

marching forward on every cues
tion, when in fact it has come to
st.andstill and is vigorously engaged
in throwing up defensive breaT.
works to avert the grand constitu
tional and reform army led by I'll
den. In regard to the publ
schools system Mr.. Hayes makes a
unworthy appeal to ~sectarian Preiu
dice. His views took shape AM
color in the Ohio campaign last fal
and he has not changed them. Tn
public schools are in no danger an.
there is certainly no occasion fc
any governmental interference
dictation. As regards the Sout
he speaks pleasantly enough {
first, but betrays the lurking ide
uppermost in his mind, that NORTH
ern hate has not yet been appease'
and intimates, therefore, that Il
supremacy Of law is not recoI
nized in the South, and tn
a certain class Of citizens a
unjustly deprived of their RICH.
This is a faint but unmistakat
echo of the bloody shirt idea. L

Mr.. Hayes, if elected, would be
much the agent and factor Of

mild a man to carry out even W

has ever done denotes strong
assertion or individuality. He

The First Cabinet Scandal.
From the Springfield Republican.

Edmund Randolph, Washington's
first Attorney General, and afterward
Jetferson's successor to the State De
partment, poor man, fell into money
embarrassments, and the French Min
lister, NJ Fauchet, wrote home that he
had personal reasons for believing
Randolph was corruptible; the Score
tary of State had signifed to him his
readiness to be bribed. The letter mis-
carried, was printed at London, and
Randolph retired protesting his inno-
cence. That was the only Cabinet
scandal of the money sort until the
Floyd hompson episode in Buchan-
ans time.
