World In rendering the freedom Of that city
10 Judge Chas. Kincaid, Of Kentucky,
thoughilessly opensup a sore political
question. Judge Kincaid is the Private
Secretary who recently gave Mr.. Knott the
appointment for Governor. The Word
says, In speaking Of him: "More than a
year ago, II we mistake not, he was the
fret TO recognize the eminent fitness for the
Presidency Of, and first to nominate for
that high Office, Hon. Joseph Mcdonald
and baptized his nominee Old Saddle
bass.'" This Is all true, but the World
ought 10 have added that more than two
years before year ago Judge Kincaid had
allowed the democrats in National Conven-
ton TO speak several times hatteringly Of
Mr.. Mcdonald as Presidential candidate,
and that owing TO Judge Kincaid's friend
lines Mr.. Mcdonald had been elected
United States Senator from Indiana. The
World touches too lightly on these great
national services Of Judge Kincaid. His
greatest act, however, after being elected
Private Secretary, was to appoint Mr..
Knott Governor.

SINCE 1861, claims have been SLOWED to

= great number Of republican organs are
complaining OF the immense draft on the

After the arrears Of pensions swindle has
been fully satisfied, the annual pension roll
Of the United States will not be less than

paid by Great Britain, after all her costly

have paid from $50, 900, 900 to 500, 600, 900
