We have occasion to advert TO the
arrogant to ne assumed By some fthe
friends OF tbis gentleman IN urging bis
claims to the Democratic nominat.on
for Governor. We now add sample
of gush in the same direction: The
Louisville News says;
"Theie is no man in Kentucky who
can make a better Governor than the
Chief Justice of the State lie is one
of the most ablcst men in the Common
wealth. His political record is free
from blemish. The Democratic party
is largely indebted to him for valuable
services.
Now, in search of facts, we ask Of
our res spected Louisville contemporary
what is the political record OF the
Chief Justice? We know thai
he entered into the late =cramb q iJr
the SenatoSship, but beyond that have
no knowledge of his connection With
DO litics What are the services for
which the Democratic party is so
largely indebted to the Chief Justic?
While the News will do the Judge
service by giving the desired infor-
nla ton it may further aid him BY
clearing up some reports which have
got afoat up this way; as for instance,
that on his defeat for Senator the Judge
took fit of the pouts, and refused
to publicly aequiesce in the selection
Of Gen. William; and further that the
blow of defeat so staggered him that
he was unable for two or I,ree weeks
to attend to his judicial duties:-Cog-
ington Common wealth.

Political 3EOrnIs.

Whatever may hereafter be produo
ed to explain away personal response
bility for the circumstances attending
the Presidential contest in Louisiana,
enough has been proved to fix upon
the whole affair degree Of rotteuness
aud corruption that is astounding.
1t furnishes also the most striking of
all examples we have had of eonyen-
tional morality politics.
Whatever may be disproved, the
fact will remain proved that political
parties in this country admit TO pro-
minent fellowship and controlling in-
fueuce men of notorious dishonesty,
who have not sufficient self respect TO
eouceal their dishonesty when it pays
better. in vengeance. or in present or
prospective reward. to confess An
derson tells how the Republicans cheat
ed; Levissee tells how the Democrats
tried to bribe him. Anderson man
ifests no penitence nor even shame for
the infamous part he played; Levissee
seems to think he clears up his reputa-
ton by declaring that he permitted
to toy with his honor and decency in
order to find out what they proposed

Anderson eonfesses himself a rogue.
aud blows" because he did not get
the expected price of his rascaity
Levissee has yet to learn that man
of honor repels the first intimation of
a bribe as an insult by claiming that
he degraded himself to the basest
stratagcms of the spy. Both we're
politically held in high esteem, and
were deemed worthy of places Of honor
and trust.
Except that these men have "squeal
ed, they are not exceptional characters
in party politics. In their confessed
ignominy they are simply types of
class of men not only tolerated, bat
appreciated, by the conventional poll
tics. In politics a man is accounted
honest If he does not himself swear
falsely, steal and forge, however much
he may associate with those who do
such things, employ them 10 party

lous honesty in politics seems to mean
no more than that man shall pur
