to stop it, without more rigid legiSla-

too many idiots, send up fraudulent

Jim Massey, the desperate OF the

inches long in the skull, also fractur-
ing his right arm just below his ell

Gov. Knott for the Cabinet.

We learn that many naval officers
are outspoken in a desire to see Gov.
j. Proctor Knott made Secretary Of
the Navy, and give many good
reasons for such desire.
They say he is known by both par
ties as an able,energetic and thorough
ly honest man, in consequence OF
which appropriations for the recon-
struction of the Navy would be voted
without any hesitation. They also
claim that he has taken great in
terest in the Navy for many years
past, as is evidenced by his speeches
in debate on the various naval ap-
preparation bills, and has even lived
on board man of war, commanded
by a gallant Kentuckian, Admiral
Jouctt, in order to thoroughly famil-
iarize himself with the workings OF
the vessel and the manifold duties OF
the officers and crew. We cannot
see how President Cleveland can dc
better than to place Gov. Knott IL
this position. With the above quail
fcations, and as Governor of grea
Democratic State, he would carry
weight and strength into the Cabinet
and give an evidence to the people
of the country that honesty and abili
, ty would control the much talked
against Navy Department for tn
next four years. Can any true Ken
tuckian fail to wish for such stat
of affairs?

of the Kentucky delegation in Con
