fsrslsNtile Flashes.

Eiifor HrrdLi'
The Democrats of this district are
somewhat displeased with the action of
the Executive Committee, and We
think with just cause. When "A set of
men who are, or ought to he, the serv-
ants of the people, set themselves up for
masters, then we think il is time for the
real masters to show their displcasure.
II is an evident fact that their aim Is
to wait until il is too late to hold AN
election and then foist Il personal favor
itc on the people.
Such conduct merits the disapprolla-
tion of all true Democrats, and they
should not fail 10 make the committee
fcd rs well rs kHOT their displeasure.
We could raisca rcmonStrance against
their conduct that would and shOuld,be
signed by every Democrat in the Dis
trlct.
Let them call an electi IN at once, or
vacate within the same short
period. This is the will of the party
here.

Ohio County Democratic Committee.

The non-action of the Ohio County
Democratic Committee in falling to
carry out the call made by the District
Committee for primary election on
the 81 of July, is the subject of much
comment and severe criticism. And
the natural inquiry is, why Il commit
tee composed of such Democratic parti-
sans as Hon. III. ID. McHenry, who is,
and for many years has been, Ken
tucky's representative on the National
Executive Committee, Judge f.. ID.
Walker and Mr.. Fogle should place
themselves in opposition to the call of
the State Central Committee and in an
tagOnism to the District Committee,
by failing and refusing to perform II
plain duty, and one that is vital tO the
interest, success and harmony of their
party in this Judicial district? This
committee has no right tO disobey the
instructions of the District Committee,
and when they seek to thwart the ac-
tion of the superior committee, they are
guilty of insubOrlinatiOn and of such
teaching to their party as should, and
will, for all time to come politically
damn each of them. They should be
promptly dismissed by the State CEN
trail Committee and good and true men
placed i'm their stead. The candidates
for Commonwealth Attorney have
made vigorous canvass, with the hope
and expectation that the primary elec-
ton would finally decide between them
as to their future candidacy, and this
committee is seeking to seriously embar-
rass their race by its criminally foolish
inaction. While we regret the attitude

gency like the present, that the County
Committee have, they, by courtesy, be-
ing first given the privilege of doing 50,
as a matter of custom merely. But in
Democratic organization, rs in Consti-
tutionai succession, there Is no intend
ment of an intcrregnum; therefore no
failure of organization should TIE per-
mtted or in any event tolerated, because
Of the neglect or willful misconduct Of
the agents of the people, for such are
the meml'ers of the County Committee.

pose of keeping up the continued organ
ization of the party, and have no more
authority to interpose II personal objec-
tion To the discharge of that duty, than

paper in your own way.

HAYES vetoed the Marslial's bill AS an
independent measure. He vetoed IL a
few weeks ago, not because he had anv
special objection to il then, but because
he objected to riders Of any kind on
appropriation bills. Congress took him
al his word, and passed il rs an indie
pendent measure, and here he comes
with another veto. The bill is right, AS
il takes the power out Of either political
party, and properly divides il between
all political parties. and thus prevents
fraud. Vet this fraudulent President,
loving fraud better than honesty, vetoes
this hill that IL fair and right in every
particular. The bill fixed the appoint
ment Of u. :. Supervisors of Election
and Special Marshals in the hands OF
the u. :. Courts, and required that they
should be equally divided between the
parties. Here in this State We have
our election officers selected from the
different political parties. Suppose ouI
County Court should appoint all the
officers Of election next August from
among Democrats, would our Republi.
can friends think il right? Yet this !,
just what the Republican Administra
ton has been doing for years in the
election Of Congressman and Presidenti
i'm all cities of 10000 inhabitants o
over, and every bill Congress has passed
to change the law, so Ms to prevent it,
being used in a partisan way to preven
