The Bitter Canvass.

The Hopkinsville Democrat, after
referring to the extra vote that Davies
county is entitled to, adds this COM
ment:
We understand that Christian coun.
ty. also, is entitled to one more vote
% instead of 2l votes in the Congress
sional Convention, which, in the event
Mckenzie carries Webster and Clay
Onion, still leaves attic. In that event
we predict that the convention will be
dissolved without action, and the dele
gates, TO save the party from defeat,
will be forced TO nominate some gentle
man who has not been before the peo-
pie as an aspirantfort the position. In
deed, we don't know but, in the pres
ent state of bitter personal feelings
engendered by the two aspirants among
their friends, it would be better for the
party to run some gentleman who has
not been a party to this strife. The
Democratic party of this district can
not afford to risk a defeat TO crafty
the personal ambition of any man or
set of men. 1t is too important to
secure a majority in the lower House
of the next Congress to take any such
risk. We sincerely hope that the
good sense of the delegates in the dis
trict convention will enable them to
act prudently and judicially, and avoid
a scene calculated to disrupt and Grip
pie the Democratic party Of the dis
trict. The opposition il eager for such
a catastrophe, and members of that
party all over the district are urging
the friends of Mckenzie and Clay to
insist on permitting the two TO run the
race through. Indeed, one of Mr..
McKenzie's friends told us this week,
that that gentleman could beat Clay,
and carry the district with Republic
an candidate in the field. Now, this
is all nonsense. 1t cannot be done by
either of the aspirants in such race,
and it would be suicidal In the Demo-
cratic party to permit such thing.
We must have harmony in the party,
with one Democratic candidate, or de-
feat is certain.

The Hartford Herald and tho
New Era.
IFrom uopkinsyilIc Democrat ]

From uoPkinsyillc Democrat
We agree with the Hartford Herald
that the New Era's attack upon the
Hon. II. ID. McHenry for his action
in the Ohio county convention was
wholly uncalled for, and calculated 10
10 Mr.. Mckenzie much harm, while
in fact the course pursued by that pa
per throughout the canvass has not
only operated 10 the prejudice Of Nc
Kenzie hut great harm TO the Demo
cratic party of the district. The per-
sunal villifcation of Mr. Clay, the de-
probation of his ability, and the
attack upon his personal record during
the war must necessarily rebound, while
such a course is calculated, if listened
to, to disturb the harmony and cripple
the strength of the Democratic party.
Read the article on Claws record dur
ing the war, and what lesson are we
taught? Simply that no man is quail
flied, or should be promoted to office,
unless he was IN one army or the other
during our late unpleasantness. Were
that the test nine men out Of ten in
the district would be left out in the
cold, and the candidate who would
take such a position on the stump, we
imagine, would have but few followers.
Yet such is the doctrine proclaimed by
the New Era in its attack upon Clay's
personal record during the war. There
are thousands of voters in this district
who were not in either army, and would
it not be suicidal i'm any candidate to
take the ground that because of that
fact they ought not to vote or hold
office in the district? How many can
didates could secure Office upon such
a platform. We have simply called
attention to this matter 10 show how
utterly ridiculous is such an assump-
ton. The doctrine is two edged
sword. The voter will say, if Clay is
unworthy to hold office because he did
not go in either army, then l am equal
IN unworthy as voter because ! was
not in either army. We want no such
distinction in the ranks Of the Demo
cratic party. We want harmony in
the party. We want every man who
agrees with us in political principle,
regardless of his whereabouts before
the war, during the war or since the
war, to vote with US and thus lend his
aid TO secure the restoration of good
government. prosperity and happiness
to the people of our common country.
That's what we want, and cannot af-
ford to prescribe any man on account
of his having been in the army.

serf, Linderman. On July % the
national banks of this city received a
circular announcing this fact. These
hanks have no trade dollars TO day;

one of these national banks three thou
sand trade dollars, which were paid to

The HeraIds Course Approved.
[HopkinsriIle pemoerat.l

We make the following extract from
the Hartford (Ky.) Herald, and en-
dorse every word of it. The District
Convention can not afford 10 be unfair
in the nomination of a candidate for
Congress nor can either of the aspir-
ants afford to accept a nomination
tainted with the least fraud or unfair
ness. Democratic success in this race
is of much more importance than the
qualification of the ambition of any
man or set of men, and if we can not
nominate one Of the present aspirants
with the assurance Of harmony and the
certainty of victory in November, we
say drop the two contestants and NOM
mate a gentleman who can harmonic
the party aud bear the old Democratic
flag in triumph at the election. we
want no uncertainty. A Democratic
majority in the next House is too i'm
portant to take any risk. Here is what
the Herald says:
We regard the success of the Demo.
cratic party in this district as para
mount to the success of either Clay,
Mckenzie, or any other man. Mr..
Clay and Mr.. Mckenzie are able men,
and either would make a fair, safe
representative, but neither of them
are so important as to be worth the
destruction of the Democratic party in
this district. We have at least 40 9TH
or men in the district equally as able
and worthy as either of the gentlemen.
All the true Democrats will be i'm IA
vor of the candidate who gets a major
ity of the district, and if a misunder-
standing arises so that we can not agree
lets not get In broil, but drop both of
the gentlemen, and get a new man
that will DO satisfactory TO at least a
majority. Mark our prediction now.
The convention can not afford to act
unfair, and neither of the gentleman
can afford 10 accept the nomination
tainted with the least bit of fraud or
unfairness. His title too, it must be as
clear as the MONDAY sun, or defeat to
himself and the Democracy awaits US,

The sherman SwindIe.
IOMensborro Examiner.l

The people have not been fairly dealt
with in reference to these Mexican
and trade dollars. The Mexican dol
lar is worth intrinsically about ninety
eight cents, and the trade dollar above
par, that is superior to the legal tender
dollar. They were given out to the peO-
pie at par and are now taken from them
at ten per cent. discount. Somebody
realizes a fat job by this transaction.
The government, If so disposed, could
have easily protected the people from
these blood-suckers. Mr.. Sherman
says that they will only be classed as
bullion. The government can afford
to purchase them rs bullion, and the
people suffer but slight discount. We
understand from our exchanges that
the banks purchased them at ninety
cents, flooded the country with them
at par and at given signal, the scene
changes, and they then repurchase
them from the people at ninety cents.
But the error lies in Mr.. Sherman. He
should have purchased them as bull
lion, and thus secure the people from
the attacks of these money sharks.

The election of Trustees of the Town
of Hartford took place on last Satur
day. Much excitement and interest
was manifested in it, because ofits asso-
citation with the building of a school
house. The majority of the Trustees
elected were favorable to the enter
prise. 1t does seem little surprising
there should be any opposition to a
matter of such vast importance to the
community. 1t is demonstrated that
the house can be built and paid for,
without any additional tax. If then
the fear of taxation is the objection, we
can see no reason why the citizens
should not at once vote for the meas
ure.

Prof w. " Hayward for SuPerin-
dent of Public IustrctiOn.

The Democracy Of Ohio county in
convention assembled on the 12th Of
August, 1873. very enthusiastically
called upon Prof w. B. Hayward 10
become a candidate for Superintendent
Of Public instruction, and recommend
ell him to the Democracy Of the State,
rs one worthy aud well qualified for
the high and responsible position.
1t is conceded by all the teachers Of
the State, that he who aspires to this
Extraordinarily one of the highest
in the gift Of the pcoplc-must be a
thorough scholar, a practical educator
and one who will devote his undivided
time to the performance Of the duties
lac thus assumes. The responsibility
of the office, the nature and magnitude
rf the labors connected with il; and
the interest of the State, all render
this requirement imperative.
The Democracy of Ohio county have
presented a man who fills the bill.
His scholastic attachments are I'M
questionable. As an instructor, his
sminence is fully recognized among the
teachers of Western Kentucky.
Having been actively engaged in the
duties of his profession for about TWEEN
" five years, he is practically acquain-
ted with the wants of our public
schools, and we have every reason to
believe that no one will labor more
earnestly to obtain these and to advance
the educational interests of our State
than Prof. HAYWARD.
II should be borne in mind by the
friends Of the public schools, that, be-
rides possessing the other requisites,
Prof. HAYWARD is a practical teacher,
one of the most successful educators in
the State, having spent his whole life in
this noble and responsible profession /;
and that he will if elected, devote his
entire time TO the duties of the Office.
With such man at the head of our
school system to direct the exertions
Of the many energetic teachers of the
State; We can confidently predict
that the cause of education will re-
ceive an impetus that will do much
towards properly developing the youth.
full minds Of our commonwealth, In
the language of one of the most distin-
guished educators in Kentucky, "PrOf.
Hayward would infuse new life into the
public schools, by showing all connected
with them, what they need and how to
get it."
Prof. Hayward has never held Office
in his life. He has always been faith
full TO the Democratic cause, and rem
dered very efficient aid in recognizing
the party just after the war. He has
aided publicly and privately more or
less in every National and State cam
paign for many years. Without under
estimating the other gentlemen, whose
names have been used in connection
with this Office, We insist that Prof.
Hayward combines all the elements to
make a very superior Superintendent,
and if the Democracy of the State will
emily elevate him to that position, they
will never have cause to regret their ac-
ton.
