The candidacy of L. p. Blackburn
for Governor was brought about by
the yellow fever epidemic of 1878 and
the same set of sickly sentimentalists
about Louisville have brought out
Mayor Jacob as candidate because
he did his duty as an official during
the late flood, to relieve the sutlerings
of the unfortunate. Away with such
bosh. Look at the present occupant
of the Executive chair and see the eff
fects of it. This time we want a
statesman who is a man of sense and
not sentiment-like Knott or Jones'
and the people are determined to
have such an one, Notwithstanding
the gushings of Louisville sentiment
talists.

If there is anything we do despise
it is to hear candidate come out and
prate about the distinguished "ser-
vice" he has done for the "party." 1t
makes us tired to listen to such stuff.
If a man wants an office why not
come out like a man and say he wants
it for the money or the honor in it, or
because he has an ambition to be ele-
waited to it, and not whine around
about his services because he may
have aired himself on a few stumps,
for the purpose of making capital for
race into which he had already en-
tered? If Col. Jones' friends want to
disgust every intelligent man in the
State let them keep up this sort of
business, which was started by the
genial Colonel himself. Mr.. Knott
has been at work for his party in
Congress for years, but you bear none
of this nonsense. He asks for the
office of Governor because he wants
it and rests his claims upon his fit
ness for the Office.

Mr.. Robt. Y. Thomas, editor of the
Nuremberg Echo, received the Demo-
cratic nomination for the Legislature
in the primary election held in Muh-

three opponents but two of them

gratitude of his party. lie has oul

facture of patent medicines, then of
cabinet ware, then into the grocery
