There is a disposition on the part of
some to "put the blame" Of Trimble's

II is in no spirit of exultation over
fallen foe that we rejoice at the cleo
ton Of Col. Turner to a seat in the
next Congress of the United States.
It was a contest between sections of
the Democratic pariy-a party that
we love. aud in whose success we al
ways rejoice, and whose harmony and
unity we shall ever endeavor to pro
mote when M sacrifice of principle is
involved. The nomination of Law
renee S Trimble by the Paducah con-
ventiOn was mistake and the conveD-
ton itself blunder. Public senti-
ment did not demand the last nor iu-
dofse the first Judge Trimble was
not the choice of the people He had
served three terms 10 the Congress of
the United States at time 10 the his
tory of the State when no Democrat
worthy of the name would have been
admitted to seat in that body from
The First Congressional District. The
honors he had already received should
have been sufficient to satisfy the am
