The NsyS SpeakarshiY.

There is q good deal of talk about
who is 10 DC the speaker of the next
Legislature. There will be no lack
of good material to choose from.
Several capable and experienced gem
tlemen are having their respective
merits discussed by the papers, but
il is pretty generally conceded that
the successful aspirant will be either
Judge j. NJ. Bigger of McCracken,
Hon. e. U. McElroy. of Warren, or
Capt. C. T. Allen of Caldwell. They
are all gentlemen of ability; and
either would undoubtedly make an
excellent speaker, but Capt. Allen
has claims and qualifications which,
if they are not paramount, are fully
equally to those Of his competitors,
and these combin with the efficient
work he has done for his party shonld
entitle him to the position; Capt.
Allen ms editor of the Princeton
Banner has been the head aud slloul-
ders of the Democracy in his district.
He has engaged in every political
fight for years; and in the last Pres
idential campaign did particularly
efficient work. He has represented
his county in the House for one
session, and Is elected for the next.
There will be small proportion of
experienced men in The body of the
next legislature, and it is very cs-
sential that thoroughly verscd par
Humanitarian be placed at the head Of
it. No inexperienced man can fill
the position. Capt. Allen is q model
presiding officer. lie possesses all of
the qualifications requisite to good
speaker, and no better man could be
chosen. He is from part OF the State
which was overlooked in the distri-
button of State offices, and il is but
justice TO give this part fit the speak
ership. Western Kentucky expects
and deserves this honor, and she pre-
scnts the gallant Allen to receive it,
knowing that of all those mentioned
no mans claims or qualification are
superior TO his.

The Nav YORK Convention.

When Mr.. Tilden retired from the
Gubcrnatorial chair of New York, he
was succeeded by Gov. Robinson,
who pushed forward the reforms in.
augnrated by his illustrious predeces
sor 10 the ultimate discontinue OF the
Taumany ring, with john Kelly at
its head in New York City. In con-
sequence OF this, the corrupt ring has
been arrayed against the administra-
ton aud went to the State convention
at Syracuse "Wednesday with the in
tention of defeating Robinson, who
was candidate for denomination.
Mr.. Tildcn it was known was friend
ly to Robinson, and DESTROYS of his
nomination, and, although he did not
use his influence in his behalf, his
friends throughout tho State in defer
cnce to his wishes, achieved success
for Robinson, which means signal
triumph for Mr.. Tidcn.
The Convention was very large and
boisterous. Ii soon became evident
to Kelly and his gang that Robinson
would be the choice, and the whole
crowd, healed by Kelly and Dor
sheimer, left in a body and wen, into
n convention of their own, nomi-
mating Kelly himself for Governor.
The convention then proceeded with
the business, nominating Robinson
with great unanimity, thus eifectually
sitting down on the corrupt ring, who
sought by bulsying TO control the ac-
ton Of Tie party in the State.
Lucius Robinson is q true and
worthy man, brave man. and has
made n model Governor and has mer-
tied the triumph just achieved. The
Tammany ring will not control
enough votes TO defeat him. Thai
gang has seen its day. In speaking
of the matter the CoWier-JOMRdl
says: "Si. Louis was its Moscow,
Syracuse its Waterloo" Governor
Robinson will be reelected; and
Tammany and tic Republicans I'M
der the leadership of the obscure
Cornell will be swept away by the
resisllcss tide Of Mr.. Tilden's influ-
encc and power in the State, as rep
resented by the nominee of the DEM
ocratic party.

The Next Legislature.

The next session of the Legislature
of this State is likely to prove one OF
the most interesting for years. I'm
portant bills will be brought up for
acti II, iha charters of the several
railroads will be reviewed, the edu-
calional interest of the State stimu-
lated and redirected, internal i'm
provements encouraged, and gener-
al awakening OF public enterprise
lake place. Nor is the awakening
confined to the Democratic ranks
alone. The Republicans are wide
awake, and better organized than at
any time within the past twenty
years. 1t is true, the rank and file OF
the Republican party, composed as it
is. of the least educated. and the least
yigilant OF both blacks and whites,
are listless in all matters of public
enterprise and public progress, but
their leaders, though few in number,
are as rule wide awake, and aggrc,-
siye to tcmeriiy. They are of course
too few 10 exercise any material i'll
flncnce upon the legislation of the
session, but they will be vigiant and
quick sighted TO see and take advan-
,ngc of any errors the party in power
make inadvertently, or otherwise
allow themselves to be led into. The
next Legislature is likely 20 be the
initial point of many future states
men, and the beginning of history
wide spreading in its influence in the
years 10 come. The time is ripe, the
harvest is ready, and he who enters
the field properly prepared to CLEAN
will gather the golden grain iu abund-
aDce. The great needs of the State
have become so patent, the evils have
become so plain and the remedies so
simple, that history stands ready to
record tho cause, the process and the
effects of legislation at one entry
The almost infinite resources of the
State mental, moral and physical are
but as q partially opened mine, the
unknown extent and wealth of which
are just beginning 10 be understood,
and the new light has given new
impulse and awakened renewed ener-
gies, the results OF which win make,
history and make statesmen for the
coming years. This is no fancy
sketch, but the forcshadowing OF
coming events, the realization of
which may be had for tho gathering
at no distant day .-Lerington Press

A New Departure,

Ii il gratifying 10 us TO note that
IIopkinsville is awakening from that
lethargy which has been for long
series of wears material drawback
TO Southern prosperity; that is, her
uuaccountabie sleepincss regarding
educational enterprise. The Board
of Trustees of the llopkinsviIlc pub
lie schools, acting under law of our
Legislature, providing for system
ofpublic graded schools for this city,
has requested our Board of Council
men to submit to The citizens prop
osition looking 10 the purchase OF
grounds, and the erection OF suitable
buildings, for the purpose of con-
duciing such schools, and of carrying
into practical effect, the provisions OF
the law. The Board of Councilmen,
we understand, has, in pursuance of
the request, adopted ali ordinance
containing the necessary particulars,
and submitting tho question to our
citizens at all election to he held Sat-
urday, November lst.
Neither the Act Of the Legislature
defining the powers of the Board OF
Trustees of the public schools, nor The
ordinance adopted by our Board oil
Councilnen, has been published Tor
the information Of our people, but
we hope TO obtain beth tor the next
issue of the Sou1T KENTUCKIAS,
This paper is now, and always will
be the friend and advocate of all ma
Iional enterprises looking to the adj
vancement and prosperity OF our
city. Nothing is now paramount to
the educational interest, and nothing
occurs TO us as much demanded by
the advancement of the age and the
interests of lIopkinsville, as a thor.
ough system of graded education.
As The movement advances, we will
be prepared 10 speak further upon
this important matter.
