FOR THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES
HENRY H. HAUN.

Harris canvasses Shenandoah
for bourbonism, and is introduced
by E. D.-Of the firm of Walton
Walton. L. ID. - says he would
not vote for Harris. Still Harris
is good enough to teach other peo-
ple. f. ID. - reminds us some
what of the fellow who availed him
selt of the services of Oliver Twist.
A year ago bourbonism said they
did not pass the educational Dill
because they did not have time to
consider it. Since then they had a
full session Of the same congress
and the same bill slept on the
speakers desk. That killed the
bill and it must now be started
anew.
John T.in.the-coOl ratified around
town to tell how badly he was
treated. Johnny had too much
truth told for one days digestion.
He abused those who had been his
friends TO make terms with those
who had been his enemies. His
reward came in when chairman L.
D. said that be would not vote
for Harris for anything.
The Washington correspondent
of the Alexandria Gazette has
given out his FIFTH lie about Riddle
berger, and, as usual, on the au'
thorty of northern gentlemen"
We know a "northern gentleman
would not talk to the Gazette's
Washington correspondent. He is
too transparent. Thieves, pick
pockets, policy men and FOUNDERS
all avoid him as superior in the
profession which each has adopted.
His name is Snowden. He is con-
stitutional liar and ought TO be
called a dog. But the dogs have
improved while the Snowdens'
have refrigerated.
Goolrick said the Blair educa-
:ional bill was the best evidence of
bourbon fealty to free schools.
The Blair bill passed the republi-
can senate with but two republican
votes against it. The House of
Representatives with a democratic
majority Of seventy has refused to
take it from the speakers desk
Give us the next Lee!
Unluckily for the BourbOns,
Second Auditor Rufiin's official re-
port for the fiscal year ending

therefore when Judge Staples, or
anybody else, says that fewer cou'
pons have been received under
Bourbon rule than under Readjus-
ter or Republican rule, the evidence
is ready at hand to refute the
statement. For the last year of

Gov. Knott, Senator Blackburn,
Congressman Breckenridge, and
other prominent Kentucky demo

the Secretary OF the Treasury to re-
tam Capt. David A. Murphy, a
