Vanceburg, KY, Courier OF June Is.
While Mosby and Longstreet and Key were
doing their best and their worst to divide
and destroy the country, and while Logan
and Butler were playing false to their own
convictions and eating their own words as u
hungry hog devours it's helpless offspring,
MIR. Bayard stood an
Earnest and
Unflinching
Advocate OF the Constitution of the United
Stases and q
Bold and
Fearless
Champion of the Union as 1t was tie
Union OF
Washington and jackson.
A Union OF coequal states and white citi
zenship.
i, He entered the Federal Senate as Union
man. His great speeches upon the war and
upon the reconstruction Of the country are be-
fore the people. As true statesman, de-
voted to his country and her best interests
as an enlightened fair minded and high
souled patriot he stands to day without a
single peer in this great nation.
As MIR. Bayard stood firm and loyal TO the
peOple-threw himself forward and like the
steadfast and everlasting rock of the ocean,
resisted the fierce tide OF fanatioism and the
angry pillows Of hate, 30 will the people
stand by him now, and although he may
never be President or candidate before the
country for President, he will go down in his
tory as one of the noblest and pureet OF all
our great and gallant statesmen.

We want no renegade.
We want no man of shallow head and ex-
banded boom.
We want no spoon thief.
We want no military candidate, for there is

the unhealIng wounds Of the war.
We want no man who ia not more of a
friend of the people than OF himself-more
the protector OF industry than the robber OF
earnings.
The nomination Of Mr.. Bayard ia demanded
in behalf Of all the sons OF toll on the sod,
or in the mines, or marts OF America-in
behalf Of the men who fought and men who
labored to save the country-in behalf OF
poor men coming here from foreign shores
IN behalf OF the young men, farmers and
mechanics Of our country, and for them we
pledge you sweeping victory.

leadership Of Samuel ]. Tilden, a SINGER,
pure Democrat who never lodged, or modi

everywhere regarded as the most worth,
leader to take from the hand Of Tilden thu

Blaine's friends all over the country

This course ia due partially to the fact
that Blaine knows II will be very little
aid he will receive from the sdministra

friend that he did not care about the
nomination himself, but he wanted to
live long enough to beat Chester A.

The President has a large number Of very

JAY-Ekh-SEE.
Mr.. vanderbilt's Highly Moral POSI-
tfOm Laughed at.

DETROIT, June 28.-W. II. Crawford,
manager for ]. L. Case owner Of Jay-Eye-See
is in this city attending the races. Upon
being questioned relative to the Jay Eye.See
challenge and the highly moral ground taken
by MIR, Vanderbilt in relation thereto, assum-
ing that the challenge was directed at his
horse Maud s., Mr.. Crawford said:
~ do not see why Mr.. Vanderbilt accepted
the challenge as being addressed to him for
neither Maud s. or Clingstone or their owners
names were mentioned. Mr.. Case has not
seen his horses for two months and knew
nothing of the challenge which was merely
an open letter accompanied by $4,000 forfeit
an earnest that Jay-Eye-See is ready
to trot any horse as stated. II
is quite amusing, therefore, that
Mr.. Vanderbilt should be surprised at the
impudence which prompted US to send our
challenge and that he asserts that he never
trots his horses for money. Maud s. has,
since she has been the property Of Mr.. Van
derbilt, trotted at least a dozen times
against the best horses and on the
best tracks in the country, and in each in
stance for money, and her earnings have
been considerable for her owner and man
ager. In addition it may be stated that July
4th 1881, Maud s. Chen owned by Mr.
VanderbilD trotted for gate money over the
Detroit Driving Clubs present track"

their slow progress in getting away, they
were overtsken and fight ensued in
