Not long since this correspondent
had lengthy letter in which he stat
ed that Col. Villas refused to pay the
clerks in his department the day be-
fore Thanksgiving. as was customary
and as was prachced by all the other
departments, and went on to say that
Col. Villas gave as a reason that he
was frald some of them might die
befor the end of the month, and the
government would in that case lose
the amount of two days salary. No
such custom ever prevailed as paying
before Thanksgiving. No depart
ment ever paid their clerks in pur-

does not break down under the ire

try, you will see at the end Of the four
years for which he has enlisted he
will go into private life not only With
the strongest gratitude and friend

reporter improved the occasion to
say:

louisville Commercial.

AUGUSTA Commercial man
has just returned from a tour over
the Ninth Congressional District,
and has some information which
may prove of interest. For the first
time in the history of democracy
Bracken County has defeated
the Democratic nominee for Con-
gress. About the first of January
Judge Garrett S. Wall, of Mason
County, became a candidate for
Congress, subject TO party action,
and opened up an active campaign,
visiting all the COMMITTEES in the dis
trict, at the same time "dishing
out" money with a lavish hand.
Being an active and inspiring
young man he made friends every
where he went. After he had fair
IN opened up the campaign, j. D.,
Kehoe, who calls Mason County his
home, also announced himself as a
candidate. They knowing that it
would be folly for Mason County to
come before thu convention with
two candidates, decided to hold a
primary to decide who should be
The county's choice. The Demo
Gratis of the county decided that
Judge Wall was their choice by 500
majority. Kehoe's friends at once
sqealed "boodle was the cause Of il"

Kehoe was an Irishman and Of
course the Irish were all for him.
and they swore vengeance against
Wall. Intne meantime Judge Sam
Savage, of Boyd county, became q
candidate and began tour of the
district. His great hold was upon
the Germans. He came to Bracken
and made many friends, especially
among the Germans. S.Clark Bas-
com, Of Bath county, announced
himself also. Things moved along
in a happy manner until the con-
yention, which was held here on
September S. In the meantime, in
this county, slanderous remarks
were circulated about Judge Wall
by his enemies, assisted by the Re-
Ipublicans, who circulated the report
that Judge Wall had called Saw
ages followers "Dutch slums and
bummers," However, Wall receiv.
ed the Democratic nomination, and |
the Savage elementin this county
and the Kehoe elements in Mason,
sworeE'by the Holy Moses'that they
wouldn't support him, The Re
publieans seeing change to make
capital, began at once a lihelous
action against Wall, and also get
ting around some of the ignorant
dissatisfied Democrats, induced
them to believe these libelous re-
ports, at the same time laughing in
the sleeves at the Hchumps" they
were working SO we'll, The Demo
cratic orators came around and still
they did no good. Savage himself
came down TO quiet his friends, but
instead of 1uieting them worked
the thing up to a fever heat, and it
is said by many that he did all he
could against Wall, under cover.
The Kehoe element kept up con-
tinual harmngue against Wall at
his home, which also made things
very unpleasant for him. The
Democratic party throughout the
entire district has been poorly or
ganized and managed for the past
six years, In this county, with a
Democratic majority of 500, they
gave Wall only 1874. 1t is estimated
that Wall spent $4,000 in this race,

has been q most disastrous one for f
