. toesl vote II ss.riy 1,3oo, 600 Governor
Cleveland 10 found 70 hsve received LOTS
moro votes than were cast for Mr.. Blaine.
With New York added TO the Demo
cratic column, Governor Cleveland has
2l9 electoral votes, and 10 the President
elect of the United States.
This paper, like all others devoted to
Republican principles, sought to bring
about . different result But
the people have decreed otherwise, and .
graceful submission to the popular will is
the duty of all citizens of the republic,
irrespective of party. Moreover, it is the
duty of all to refrain from unwarranted
criticism of the President-elect. Give
him fair chance. Let him be judged in
the future by his public acts. There is \
good basis for the belief that Cleveland's
administration will he q surprise not only
to Republicans, but also to 3 great ma
jority of Democrats. His conservatism
and his attitude toward the civil service
reform experiment will probably bring
some peculiar and highly interesting de-
velopments in American politics during
the next year.
Be that a. it may, our industries are
secure against hostile legislation, and
business will undergo no serious disturb.
Ance. The division of power between
the parties in Congress gives assurance
of perfect safety and steadiness.

The opening of the Exposition is close
at hand, and the urgency of their work is
pressing upon those whose public spirit
induced them to undertake to do what
they might for the benefit of Florida in
having her properly represented IN the
great competitive exhibit of the resources
of the States. Though Florida possesses
the advantage of being able TO display
novelties of tropical growth, showing
certain products similar to those from
foreign countries within the tropics these
should not be too much relied upon for
the success of her exhibit, but every effort
be made to show also in direct comparl-
son with other States the extent and va
riety of her resources in the products of
the temperate zone. This section can
add many and desirable articles to the
collection from the State, and it is to be
hoped that the people OF Leon will SO aid
her commissioners that the county may
be second to none in distinctive exhibit,
which shall prove that ours Is a goodly
land, unsurpassed in substantial resources.
To secure such result prompt and ener-
getic effort is necessary. The opening
day having been postponed TO the 10th
of December, more time is allowed, and
it should be improved to the utmost
and effort to perfect the exhibit should
be continued long after the Exposition
is fairly in progress.

Semi-weekly south Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1883-1889, 1884-01-22

A pretty Philadelphia girl named
Bertha Clear became infatuated with
Garrison, the diving skeleton in the
Dime Museum, and they were mar
ried Monday of last week. On Tues
day the girl became a maniac and
was taken back to her father, from
whom she had run away. She still
imagines herself with the monster,
and cries all the time "Take me away
from him! Take me back homer
The unhappy father has applied for a
divorce for her. The girl was 10
years old and was engaged to be
married to young doctor.

The breckenridge News is keeping
q record of the murders in Kentucky
and reports 81 in December. Two of
these were in this county and were
hOmicides, but not murders. Tom
Witty killed a burglar at Casky and
was acquitted at his examining trial
and Seymour Green, COL, accidentally
killed small colored boy while
shooting at another man. Another
one of these Sd called murders was
the killing by Jno. Bumpus ola tramp
who assaulted some young ladies in
Daviess county. There must be a
killing with malice aforethought and
not in self-dcfense to constitute MUIR
der and we doubt if one in twenty of
the list of log that the News has re-.
ported since September l was muir
der. Gov. Knott was not far wrong
when he said that there were as few
murders in Kentucky as in any other
part of the civilized world. The
News is perverting the facts and
doing harm to the Commonwealth
by reporting as murders such acct
dental and excusable homicides as
those mentioned above. We are in
clined to think that the two cases of
infanticide are really the only muir
dcrsin the News December record.

THE GoRDIAN KNOT,
In the Democratic Legislative
Caucus to Nominate Senator,
Not YetUntied. Who Will be
the Alexander to Cut

The deadlock i'll the Senatorial
caucus at Frankfort continued
throughout the week. We reported
twenty three ballots Friday. Nine
more were taken Thursday night and
twelve Friday night, when the caucus
adjourned till last night. 1t is not at
all likely that a nomination was made
as the deadlock will in all probabili-
ty last for weeks, unless.a new man
be brought in. A paper was circu-
lated to find how many members
would vote for Carlisle, but that gen.
tleman, when communicated with,
again positively refused to allow his
name to go before the caucus. With
Carlisle positively and permanently
out of the race, Hon. Jas. A. Mckenzie
will likely be the dark horse, if he
will consent to be a candidate, if it is
found that hew man must be
brought in. lie is believed to be the
second choice of Gen. Williams sup
porters and of course Mr.. Sweency's
strength would be transferred to him
as western man. Besides he is on
the best of terms with Capt. Black
burn and has many friends among
his supporters. But this is all mere
speculation. Nobody knows who will
be chosen and opinions are but guess
work. The South Kentuckian's
choice has all along been Mckenzie
first and Carlisle second. With these
out, Mr.. Sweeney or any good man
from Western Kentucky would sat
isfy us. Should the choice, however,
have to be made between Blackburn
and Williams we would infinitely
prefer the former. He is an ADLER, a
younger and more progressive man,
and would make better Senator.
Gen. Williams is a military hero, a
sound Democrat and a good man to
make speeches at agricultural fairs
but he belongs TO fOssiliferous age
and is not and will not be useful
man in the Senate. However he has
strong following and many staunch
friends in this county and section.
But to return TO the caucus proceed
ings. Only two changes were made
subsequent to our last report. Mr.
Jackson changed from Williams to
Blackburn and Mr.. Hogan changed
from Williams to Sweeney, making
the 44th ballot stand: Blackburn, 40
Williams, 81; Sweeney, "A. The a
ballots resulted as follows:
