Wonder IL the Legislature will have the
backbone to tackle the " State House Ring"
or will it be the same old trade again. Our
faith is not the strongest, yet we hope the
knife may be applied effectually. The Secre-
tary of State, Clerk in Cbancery and Clerk of

Court to draw $4,000 to $4,000 in fees

The Louisville Courisr-JournaI, strong
Democratic paper, moralizes ms follows
1.-THE Republican party is a very bad party.
But 1t is a very strong party and very smart
party. But 1t cannot be beaten on the old
lines. 1t must be beaten on issues of real
