The Cincinnati Post suggests that
Pre- sident Cleveland can convert 100,-
900 Republicans into staunch Demo-
Gratis by simply letting the oflice-hold-
ers remain in theirpresent places. The
rank and file of Democracy however,
would be opposed to having the party
strength augmented at such a cost.
What, get in and then not get the
Offices No! ten thousand times, no !!
The President might gain over the
100000 ofiice-holders, but he would
drive out ofthe party ten times as
many who want Office.

Hopkinsville and cadis B. R. 90.


This company was incorporated by
the Legislature of Kentucky at its
last session. Commissioners were
appointed by the act of incorporation
to open books for the stock subscrlp-
ton, and to take such other, steps as
are necessary to secure regular or
ganiaation of the company. The
Commissioners are E. p. Campbell,
S. E. i'rice, John c. Latham, r. Il.
Petree, Samuel G.. Buckaer, II. G.
Alternately and W. G. Wheeler, Of
Christian county, and Thomas c,
Dabney, Thomas W. Grinter, Fenton
Sims, Robert MILFORD, j. w. Cren-
shaw and George W. Lindsay, of
Trigg county. A meeting ola quo
rum of these Commissioners was
held at the law Office of j. /. Landes,
in this, city, on Thursday evening of
last week, at which meeting it was
resolved to open books and receive
subscriptions for stock forthwith
aud Messrs. Samuel G.. Buckner, w.
G. Wheeler and j. l. Landes, of this
city, and Thomas II. Grinter and j.
W. Crenshaw of Cadiz, were ap-
pointed to receive the subscriptions.
The books are now being prepared
and each one of the parties named
will be furnished with one in which
TO enter the subscriptions.
The capital stock of the company
as fixed by the act of incorporation is
$4,000, with power in the company
to increase it from time TO time; but
in order to secure permanent or
ganization, it is necessary that one
$500 of the stock, the shares being
of'the par value of 500 each, shall be
subscribed. We understand that the
terms and contributions of the sub
scriptions as fixed by the Commits
sioners are easy and favorable TO the
subscriber, and We hope soon TO be
able to announce that the whole
amount of the capital stock author
lied by the charter has been taken in
this and Trigg counties.
This is another opportunity our
citizens and the citizens of Cadiz 10
secure the permanent property OF
both places, the contemplated rail-
road will be of even greater advan-
tage to the citizens of the two coun-
ties than it will be TO either Cadiz OF
Hopkinsville. And it is an opportu-
uity which must be taken advantage
of, especially by the citizens of Hop
kinsville, il they wish TO regain
what they will lose by the building
of the l. A. & 4. Railroad, through
the garden spot of our county. The
earnest effort on the part of those
most interested in the development
of the two towns and counties, will
secure the completion of the railroad
within twelve months. Let every
body go to work and get the stock
subscribed, and the company to work,
selecting our best and most expert
enced and energetic men for direc
tors, and we cannot fail. We very
much want railroad connection
with Cadiz and Trigg county. Let
us see who will do most to secure IL
