Mr.. Lafloon has always supported
our county's candidates and it would
be the proper thing for his friends in
Christian TO do, to see that he carries
every precinct in the county. Mr..
Clay has no claims whatever upon
our county and we are curious to
know upon what grounds he can ask
our people to support him.

If the Sunday Argus and other
Louisville papers will just keep cool
and give the Democrats Of the Sec
ond district little, time, they will
probably be able to decide whether
they want to return Mr.. Clay to Con-
gress or not. It's very kind in our
outside friends to tell us how to vote,
but if the Louisville papers succeed
in re-electing Willis and Turner, the
two Congressman from the Fifth
district, they will do little more
than the signs of the times seem to
indicate for at least one of them.

Death Of Henry Clay.

Henry Clay who was shot and NOR
tally wounded by Andy Wepler, in a
Louisville saloon last Sunday morn
ing at . o'clock, Gan account of which
was given in our last issue) died Mon
day morning at s o'clock. Clay was
out on spree the night before, some
thing unusual with him, and entered
Welper's saloon and asked him to
lend him "a. Welper was his friend
and client and they were on the best
of terms. He loaned him -, but
Clay insisted that he wanted ~, and
finally got mad and in maudlin
state of drunkenness began to abuse
Welper. Finally he crossed the street
to his room and got an old army pis-
toll with the hammer loose and re-
turned and proposed to fight Welper.
A by-stander took the weapon from
him and gave it to Wclpcr who put
it in the drawer. Clay still insisted
upon fighting and Welper handing
him his old and useless pisto', walked
from behind the counter and dcliber-
ately fired upon the poor drunken fell
low twice, one shotialicting a mortal
woundsin his groin. Welper is now
in Jail and public sentiment is very
strong against him. Clay was a
grandson of Henry Clay, the Great
Commoner, and was born in Lisbon,
Nov. II, 1919, while his father, Jas.
b. Clay was Minister 10 Portugal.
Harry, as he was called, was one OF
! the leading lawyers Of Louisville.
HE graduated from Washington and
Lee University and studied law with
Gen. Basil w. Duke and began prac-
ticc in 1875. lie was elected City
Attorney of Louisville in 1878. In Is.
80 ho went on the llowgate Polar ex-
petition, on the Inflated Proteus, but
was in the winter quarters in Green
land when the vessel was lost. The
camp where Greedy was found was
named Camp Clay in his honor. No
citizen of Louisville was more uni
verSally beloved and esteemed than
he, and his remains were placed in
the Court House and viewed by TO-
900 loving friends Monday afternoon,
many Of whom shed tears of sorrow
at his untimely fate. He was taken
to Lexington Tuesday and buried be
side the bones Of his father and grand
father. The Courier-Journal closes
a touching tribute to his memory as
follows:
at is a lamentable close of bright
young life. In many respects Henry
Clay was worthy of the ilustrio is
name he bore. lie had courage and
culture, industry and ambition, and a
talent, closely bordering on genius,
for public speaking. The weakness,
which proved the occasion of his
death, was Of infrequent indulgence,
and, though he was obstinate and
qucrulous when in his cups, his was
rather the perversity of a child and
amused those who knew him. In
temper he was both gentle and exact
ing, but, in his personal intercourse
under all circumstances, he was self.
possessed and cool. From both side.
ofhis house he inherited the most de
termined resolution and intrepidity
which, in his case, manifested them.
selves with eccentricity. But the es.
sentials of great usefulness and pop.
ularity were his, and, had he lived
his appearance in the theatre of Ma
tional affairs was certain, and it is al
most equally certain that he woult
have made his mark"
