The Democracy hereabouts are quite
loud and open in just condemnation Of
the way the Louisville Convention disre-
garded the will of the people as express
ed 90 their county conventions, in its ap-
pointing of District Elector and delegates
from this end Of the Stare TO the National
Convention; men who had not been re-
cJmmeudel or endorsed by a single coUu-
" convention in the district. If the par
~ leaders are to thus override the ex-
pressed wishes of the rank aud fle of the
party. we may look for nothing but de-
feat and utter ruin in the approaching
elections Captain Allen, the District

fact throughout the district that he has
no political influence. His Senatorial
record makes him dead duck in the es

of the general regret over the District

His physicians absolutely interdict any

anything. He has been compelled to
decline law practice for the present
from the same cause.

him in high appreciation as writer,
