al District. wrote a letter 10 each
Of the various County Chairmen
asking their opinion as TO the pro-
priety Of Withdrawing call for
primary election asno candidates had
but Nr. Thompson. A ma
jority Of the members thought that
under the circumstances the call
should be Withdrawn. but Hon. j. II.
Chrismau, Of Wayne, having since
declared himself a candidate subject
to the action of the Democracy, a ri
mary election is rendered necessary,
and it is ordered that poll shall be
be opened at each voting place.
WHEN DIR. Tanner, the man who
is trying to fast forty days and nights,
commenced his experiment, people
generally regarded him as fool,
anxious to enjoy a little brief notorie-
ry. But as weeks passed by and still
he tasted great interest was awakened,
and now about the first thing the av.
ersge man looks for in the daily pa
per is 10 see how Tanner is succeed
ing. lie is now past his thirty-second
day and no doubts are entertain
ed Of his ability TO accomplish the
wonderful feat. Ii would not seem
that such attempts would become pop
ular, but already there are spriuging
up over the country men who are
willing to bet that they can fast even
longer than Tanner.
THERE is now a tri-cornered race
for Congress in Jo Blackburn's dis
trict. Judge Lysander Hord has just
accepted call, and will run on his
river record. Hord has been claim
ing that he and Tom Turner deserve
all the credit for the late river appro-
priaiions, while 10 says tina; it was
only through his fundamentally in
getting Turner on the Committee OF
Commerce that he was able to get a
cent. Hord is out in a three column
letter in the Comier-JOmnal, and the
race wakes warm. Meanwhile, we
hear nothing Of Jerry Lillard. Isn't
this his chance to get in while the
other dogs quarrel over the bone?
IT should he the pride Of every
Democrat in the State 10 see that
their candidates receive the fullest
number of votes. Our maiorities
will stimulate our friends in other
States as il will likewise show that we
are proud of the party which has Sc
lected Hancock and English as its
standard bearers. No true man will
allow himself to be kept away from
the polls next Monday, but will be
on hand to vote early and work for the
success Of our ticket.
The Republicans say that with
"negroes and money" they can carry
Indiana. They'll raise the money
from the poor clerks aud get their
negroes from Kentucky, but il the
Democracy will do its duty, and we
are assured by Mr.. English and Mr..
Hendricks that it will, Indiana can
not be taken from us. A dozen OF
more negroes have left this county
for Hoosierdom, but their names are
known and a watch will be kept on
them.
ALL the papers, whose editors have
no axes to grind, are scoring it into
Gov. Blackburn for his silly defense
of Garfield, and his uncalled for ex-
hibilion of temper towards the news
papers. The Governor will learn as
he gets older that he has not got the
world in a sling. The ticky newspa-
pers, as he calls them, will continue to
live long after his term of office has
expired, aud he himself been remand
cd to oblivion.
CROWDED watering places make
strange bed fellows. For instance, at
Crab Orchard Springs last week, a
noted preacher had to lay his weary
bones alongside professional gam
bier, while Emmett Logan was forced
10 share bed with John ID. White.
Can that Intoxicated ex.rebel" Of the
Bowling Green hieligeneer ever keep
company with the polluted Logan
again
LINCOLN County has had no repre-
sentative in the District offices for
many years. She now has the oppor-
tunity to assert her rights and elect
Hon. X. G. Warren to the Attorney
ship. Will a single Democrat in the
county stay at home when he has the
chance to honor so worthy gentle
MANI We believe not.
The more the Republican papers
attempt to blacken the record of Gen.
Hancock the brighter shines his good
name and fame. Not so with Mr..
Garfield, who is so begrimmed with
fraud and corruption that the
best men of his party are daily de-
serting its ranks.
The regular Democratic nominee
for the office of Sheriff Is s. II.
