ter is the sure 'nough captain, mate

Christian County Election.
South Kentuckian.


The election yesterday passed of quiz
city in the city, tremendous vote be-
Ing polled. 900 votes were cast in No.
|, and $50 in No. 9, making the largest
vote by nearly 800 ever cast In the city.
II is safe TO say that many OF these were
Illegal. A large number OF colored
mel came in on trains from the rail-
road towns and it is not unlikely that
one or more OF the Democratic candi-
dates are defeated by illegal votes east
in Hopkinsyille.
1t will be impossible to give correct
report OF the vote for the whole ticket,
but the indications are that the Repub-
lican ticket is elected excepting Fergu-
son, Glass and Watt. Winfree will be
beaten by a very close vote. Returns
from q precincts give Anderson 1853
majority. The other precincts, Stuart's
and Scate's, have not been heard from
but are expected to give Winfree 100
majority, leaving Anderson's majority
3S in the county. That he is elected
by illegal votes is charged by Winfree's
friends and there is talk Of a contest.
Jno. w. Payne is 40 votes ahead OF
Ferguson with Scates Mill to hear
from, which will increase his majority
to probably 125 votes in the county.
Geo. w. Long leads L. w. Glass, col,
for Jeiler by 45 votes, with the came
precinct to hear from. II 1t gives the
usual party majority Long will be eject
ed by few votes, but the colored can
didates have been badly scratched in
the north, and the present indications
are that Long is in by not less than 70
votes. In the jailer's race the MAORI
ties In 81 precincts are as follows:
Glass-Hopkinsville, 2 precincts sc :
Union School House, 81; Newstead, go;
Pembroke, S8; Longview, ITO; Gar

Congress ought to be pretty well salts
fed by this time that the people will
stand a large river and harber bill. There
have been river conventions and barber
conversations, duriBg the last few meHths,
in about every section Of the country,
ard all Of them have demanded liberal
appropriations for their respective sec
tions.
The last convention of this kind ia the
one that met at Kansas City this week.
1t appears to have been very well at
tended and not at all modest In making
known its wants. The chief objects Of it's
sollcitude were the Missouri and Kansas
rivers, but it did not forget to demand
liberal appropriations for all Western aud
Northwestern water ways.
rather curious resolution which it
adopted was that which expressed sur-
prise that the President had not devoted
portion Of his message to the oOnsidera-
ton OF Western waterways, and the re-
commentator of appropriations for them.
The convention expressed the hope that
he would find it advisable to deal with
these waterways in a special message.
He could hardly do anything that would
80 likely excite unfavorable criticism as
to recommend appropriations for the har-
bors or waterways Of one section and
ignore those Of other sections. There is a
very general demand all over the country
for liberal river and harbOr appropris-
tions, and the feeling is such thAtit would
not be wise to favor one section and
neglect another.
The River and Harbor Committee has a
difficult winters work to perform. It
will have to try and satisfy all parts OF
the country, and at the same time not
make a bill so large as to endanger its
passage.
While the Western water ways have
strong claims for liberal appropriations,
there is 10 room for doubt that the South
Atlantic harbors have too long been neg
lected in their interests. The demand for
the improvement OF these harbors is i'm
perative, while the work that is being
doue on the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers, under the direction Of commission
ers, Is largely experimental and may
never be effective.

Was Alderman Myers Reported In
correctly?

vas Alderman Myers reported In
correctly?
Alderman Myers, in his remarks at the
Council meeting Wednesday night, stated
that the MORNING NEWS in an interview
had placed him in the position of favoring
high license. he denied that he favored
high license, and insisted that the MORN
ING NEWS had reported him incorrectly.
1t would be interesting to know where
Mr.. Myers got his authority for stating
that the MORNING NEWS had quoted him
as favoring high license; and it would be
much more interesting to know why he
did not ask to be set right at the time the
interview was published Nov. - if he
thought he had not been reported cor
rectly.
As matter Of fact the MORNING NEWS
never reported Mr.. Myers as saying that
he favored high license. The following is
all there was in the interview that touch
ed upon the high license question:
Alderman II. Myers, the head Of one Of
the largest wholesale houses in the CITY,
said yesterday, "the better class Of deal
ers generally favor high lcensp.D 81
u.
that the disreputable places could be
closed up and the license OF every saloon
revoked whenever there is any row or dis
order in the place"
This certainly does not quote Mir.
Myers as saying that he tsvors high
license. He does not necessarily include
himself when he says that "the better
class Of dealers generally favor high
license" He may have used the WORD
generally" with the idea of excludine
himself When he saw the interview in
print he was doubtless satisfied with ii,
or else he would have asked for a GORGE
ton. He asked for no correction and
made no complaint. Then why did h,
make his rather remarkable statement
at the Council meeting? Ii seems thai
Mr.. Myers has quoted the MORNING
NEWS wrongly, and, OF course, he viii be-
glad of an opportunity at the next COun-
Gil meeting of acknowledging his mistake
A few days ago, in an editorial article.
the MORNING NEWS stated that
Soon after the Atlanta prohibition con-
test the statement was made bv prOmi-
nent liquor dealer in this city that he
favored high license.
The liquor dealer referred to said to the
editor of the MORNING News that he fa.
vored $1,000 liquor license, but as no
particular person is quoted in the above
paragraph Mr.. Myers could hardly have
made it the basis OF his remarks at the
Council meeting.
