THE Democratic Executive Commit
tee have proven themselves to be fail
ure, and we hope they will resign and
let the Convention on the 18th of June
select a new one. In the first place
they have called the State Convention
10 meet i'm the Eastern part Of the State,
inconvenient to he reached, and will
require about day longer to so and
come for larger number of the counties
than il would If called to meet near II
central point, and then they have fixed
the day for holding county conventions
on the day set apart by law for electing
school trustees, and thousands of voters
will thus be deprived of attending either
their county convention or election of
school trustees. And again, the con-
vention il called 40 short a time before
the meeting Of the National Conven-
ton that the delegates elected, unless
in attendance at the State Convention,
will hardly have time To receive notice
and get to the National Convention ,andii
present will not have time to return
home Ia the extreme parts of the State
and then get to the National Conven-
ton. IL they had tried they could not
have made things more announcement,
and We mad better try new committee.

The Owensboro Messenger and E.c
dB,intr, referring To the failure Of DEM
ocratic committees Ia discharge their
duty, makes the following sensible sug-
gestions:
"I.et us have thorough organization
all along the line, and valiant and UNI
swerving service from every man in the
ranks. The unterrified one-gallowsed
Democracy of Kentucky wear their po-
litical garments carelessly sometimes
because they imagine there il no danger
of taking cold in a Democratic climate
like this. But the coming season is
certainly a time when our "duds"
should be wrapped closely obout Us, for
there is danger of "A political Norther
that may make us regret that We were
caught with our coats of All We need
il care, caution, wise counsels and good
work to insure us victory. Let Ken
lucky Democrats be sure that they con-
tribute their share of all these TAI the
cause and never for a moment forget
that their exertions are necessary not
only Ia save their own franchises in the
future, but To give present aid and con-
fort 10 their co-workers i'm other States" "

In a Pretty,Pickle.

The new L. :. Judge, John w. Barr,
of Louisville, has decided that negro
under the State laws of Kentucky for
any oflense cannot he punished if he
appeals To the Federal Courts, because
of the State law excluding negroes from
the jury box; that the amendments to
the Constitution of the United States
override our State Constitution. The
attention of our Legislature was called
To this, but they failed To enact law
covering the r;,se, and now all II negro
murderer horse thief, or criminal Of
any kind has To do Ia get out of the
peuitentiary, Jail or the hands Of the
State authorities is TO apply TO the
Federal Judge and he will he released
and turned loose upon society To repeat
his crimes.
There are over six hundred negroes
ia the pcnitentiary ut Frankfort, any
one of whom would he liberated if ap-
plication WAS made Ia Judge Barr
If our Senator's Capt. :. +. Hill )advirc
had been adhered Ia, the recent lrgis-
lature would have obviatrd all this
trouble.
The next best thing 10 do is for Gov
ernor Blackburn Ia call an extra session
of the Legislature and pass the neceSS;,-
ry law. This We should supplement by
rising in our might, from Eis, To West,
North Ia South, and hurl from power
the party which goes 10 such extreme
lengths, 10 try To hold the negro vote
solid for their party.

while there can be no reason for such
reports, it is an evident fact that Mr.
Barrett, the editor of the HERALD, Is
clear of any blame attached thereto,
from the fact that the letter appeared to

The friends of Judge A. T. Craycroft,
of Owensboro, are urging his name as
suitable person for Democratic Elector
for the Second Kentucky district. We
have the pleasure of a personal ac-
quaintance with the Judge, and believe
it would be hard to secure better man
for the place. If commissioned for the
work he will make an active canvass Of
the district, and his speeches will have
the true Democratic ring, and will be
earnest and eloquent. We trust that
he may receive the endorsement for this
honorable position by the Democrats of
this, his neighbor county, i'm the mass
meeting here next Saturday.
