The State Department denies to the
New York Times all knowledge OF any
negotiations which, according to recent
cable despatch, have resulted
in the securing of fishing privileges for
American vessels in Russian North Pa
citic waters for q money compensation.
Considering how dearly we are paying
for our mackerel caught in British Allan
tic waters, the report that new ventures
in the codfishing business were proposed
for the North Pacific was received with
some dismay. If Alaska was worth any
thing to us, it was on account of the in
exhaustibility of its fishing grounds.
And it is so gratifying to have The De-
partment of State so promptly disavow
any authenticity Of a report which
would indicate that the resources OF
Alaska are already exhausted.

meetings and take lively interests in
selecting your firmest, staunchest men,
as delegates. Ohio county is a Demo-
CRITIC county, but has been represented
by Republicans as often as Democrats,
the past few years. Apathy, indiffer-
ence, want of harmony might
produce such a result again. If Won
wish your representative to reflect POI
litically, the views of a majority of the
voters of the county, turn out next Sat
urday to your primary meeting and cast
your votes for the candidate best quail
fled to represent your interests. Select
your best men as delegates, and take

A Card From Prof. W. B. Hayward.

SULPHUR SPRINGS, Ky, May IS.
To the Democrats Of Ohio County:
On the 18th inst, in public speech
in Hartford, | said | was neither an as
pirant nor II candidate for any Office in
the gift Of the people of Ohio county.
Since that time, tried, and influential
Democrats from different parts of the
county have urgently solicited my con-
sent to the presentation of my name
before the Democratic Convention to
meet next Monday to nominate Il can
didate to represent this county in the
House of Representatives of the next
Legislature of Kentucky.
Ii is true, | do not want the Office for
any personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT it might
confer, but only as a testimonial of the
confidence and goodwill of my fellow
citizens, and in order that may have
an opportunity to advance, as best my
humble ability may permit, those great
and patriotic principles which Demo-
Gratis hold most dear. In this sense and
for this purpose, | would accept a NOM
ination, and be more profoundly thank
ful for il than though had sought it by
months of canvassing.
l have no claims TO present for | do
not think that fealty TO principle by
which my own interests have been sub
served and my own conscience satisfied
deserves any reward from others.
1t will doubtlers he insisted that
this announcement, Is too late to en-
title il TO consideration, being but three
days before the time appointed to select
delegates to the convention. Ii may
also be urged against me that l have
made no canvass to secure delegates
pledged to support me. In reply, II
have only this to say, that my action
is in Difference to public opinion as it
has come to me and which do not feel
inclined to ignore. for ] frankly admit
that prize these manifestations of re-
gard more highly than / would seat
i'm the Legislature.
In "A Republic, the will of the people |
fairly expressed is and must be supreme,
and no man and no party can by arti-
flee or unconstitutional modes antago-
nize 1t and politically live.
Let il be distinctly understood, that if
the presentation of my name either at |
the precinct meetings or convention
shall produce discord or create schism
il cannot he used by my consent.
To the public fiat, most respectfully
aud humbly bow.
