The Cleveland administration is a
constant surprise to the practical states
man. Mr.. Cleveland should hold up
ard give him time to get his eyes back
into their proper places.
1t looks as if Kentucky were not GO
ing to get any offices. and the president
evidently believes that it is glory enough
forone state to be the home of Mr. Wat
terson and the star-eyed goddess of re-
form.
The prohibitionists of Kentucky are
already in the field with their candi-
date for state treasurer and a platform
which covers nearly every i'll to which
flesh is heir to. The election takes
place the first Monday in August.
The number of republican postmas-
tiers whose wives are applying for the
offices now held by their husbands, on
the ground that they, the wives, are
democrats, must be quite a revelation
TO those benighted persons who main
tain that a husband and wife are one.
