The Madisonville Times, whose
editor is an honest, truthful man and
Il staunch friend of Mr.. Lafoon, has
had the candor to admit that as many
as 30 fraudulent votes were cast for
Lailoon in Hopkins county in 1884.
This forever settles the fraud issue
and presents Mr.. Laffoon in the I'M
enviable light of occupyinga position
TO which lie was not honestly chosen.
These fraudulent votes thrown out
would have nominated Mr.. Clay by
81 votes. We fail to see how this
admission can help Mr.. LafIoon's
cause among honorable, fair-mindcd
men.

How can Mr.. Laffoon ask Mr..
Clay's friends to vote for him when
by so doing they endorse" the fraud
by which Clay was defeated and de-
prived of $4,000 salary? Having
supported Mr.. Laifoon in the past,
we had hoped that there was 10 truth
in the charge of fraud and corrup-
ton, but since his friends have ell
tered a plea of guilty, there can no
longer be doubt entertained. 1t
now only remains for the people to
rebuke such methods.

From the present outlook the race
for Congress in this district will be
between w. J. Stone, the present rep
resentative, and Oscar Turner. Up
TO this time the general impression
seems 10 be that the Republicans will
Idil to make nomination and that
the rank and file of the party will
compromise on Turner in order to
beat Stone or any other nominee of the
Democratic party. AS there can be
no hope for the Republicans in fair,
sqnare political contest, they will be
satisfied ifthey can in anyway damage
the dominant party.-Crittendcn

ANOTHER SHOCK.

+ CHARLESTON, S. c., Sept. 5.-There
was another shock at IL 05 tonight.
1t was not very severe, and the dur
alton was about two seconds. The
prevailing belief here tonight is that
the worst is over, and that the in
habitants are reasonably secured
from further visitations of earth
quake.

CHARLESTON, Sept. 2.-The official
total of deaths in this city from the
earthquake shocks is thirty-six. The
wounded will probably number 100
Business is still suspended, the whole
attention of the people being given
10 providing for refuge and making
residences safe. Bricklayers have
advanced their rates to Sc day. The
City Council will probably meet to-
morrow to provide measures for re-
lieving the poor. Expressions of
gratitude are heard on all sides for the
assistance offered to Charleston, of
which the suffering people will gladly
avail themselves. There were two
shocks last night at 80, IL so p. NJ.
and 5 A. NJ. All were light. Con-
ildencc is gradually returning, but
much apprehension is still felt.

CHARLESTON, S. g., Sept. 4.-The
earthquake shock last night caused
great alarm on account of the shat
tered condition of the nerves of the
people. Those persons who had ven
tured back under their roofs hurried
into the streets, which presented for
few minutes as tragical an appear
ance as on Tuesday night. But little
actual harm was done by the shock.
Two untenanted houses are reported
to have fallen, together with part
of the coping of the Charleston Hotel.
The vibration during the shock was
not especially great, but the moaning
and bowling sound was sufficiently
alarming. Gradually the people had
come to the conviction that the
shocks were at an end and the dis
appointment was agonizing.
The sensation to-day is the falling
of showers of pebbles IN the lower
part of the city. The first fall was at
1870 o'clock this morning, and the
second at about II o'clock. They APP
peared to fall in slanting direction
from south to north. There are NOR
sells of flint among them, and all are
plainly abraded and worn by the &C
ton of the water. Some few have
sharp fractures and have evidently
been recently broken. The fact of
the fall is vouchcd for by several
trustworthy persons. The bulk of
the pebbles fell in and around the
