GOOD NEWS.
Lafayette Precinct Solid for
Mckenzie.
LAFAYETTE, Ky.

LAFAYETTE, Ky.
ED. SOUTH KENTUcKIAN:
Your correspondent having had
occasion to travel over this portion
of the country recently, and being an
ardent admirer of Jas. A. Mckenzie,
and also one of his warmest support
ers, has made anyinQuiries concern
ing him and his congressional race,
and finds the people are of one voice
and that is for Mckenzie. But the
important point which we wish to
urge upon the voters here and else
where is that the Primary amounts
to an election, and come out by all
means and vote on the 18th.
Theli little opposition in your city we
can assure you, has not extended this
far, and from what wocould learn on
the streets yesterday Cat the speaking)
we think the Father of it aud his
blinded followers are dying slowly
but surely.
jim Mckenzie made one of the
finest speeches yesterday that we ever
heard and he was truthlully called
the "Demosthenes of Kentucky"
After coming from the courthouse
your correspondent was joined by a
very intelligent gentleman who had
been opposed to Mckenzie, but who
is now warmly in favor of him, who
said, 81 tell you that speech is going
to turn the tide of opposition for
Mckenzie" he then said after slight
pause, at never had its foundation
upon rock at first"
Let this congressional district send
men to congress of whom they will
feel proud, men of marked ability
whose talent is of the highest order,
and whose integrity and high sense
of honor no one questions. Have we
ever had a representative who made
such an enviable reputation as Jas.
A. Mckenzie? No! you are COM
PEELED to admit that we never did,
and we intend to compliment him by
sending him to our next congress.
Genuine merit cannot be over looked
and the false reports that have been
circulated concerning Kentucky's
gifted and deserving son, have made
no impression upon us except feel
ing of contempt for the envious politi-
cal aspirants who originated them, and
we can assure them that when there
is all opening and they aspire to gain
our votes for their personal gain,
they will not meet with second in
the southern portion of Christian
county. When Jim Mckenzie is
elected (as lie is sure to be) they will
then fawn around him with disgust
ing sycorh mcy. Weak, weak para
sites, they will then want the influ-
ence of the man whom they have
used every effort to defeat.
The Primary Election will soon be
here and let us again urge evory
voter in the district to come 10 the
polls and we are sure to elect Jim
Mckenzie. SAMPSON.

Charleston.

GgARLEsToN, S. c. Sept. S.-Thingc
are settling down in Charleston, and
the slight trenors of earthquake
which are felt once or twice day at
tract little more attention than the
rumbling of a passing wagon. La
borers are at work in every direction
clearing away the masses of fallen
brick and stone, and there are siren
uous efforts made to protect the in
jurcd buildings from the expected
rains. Everywhere there are signs
ofa restoration of the normal condi-
ton of things, and business is trans-
acted as usual.
THE RELIEF COMMITTEE
which was organized last Saturday
is at work, and has now provided ac-
cOmmodatiOns in tents and in huts
for over 5000 persons. Besides this
the assistant committee is In full
swing, and is serving out to-day am
pie rations of meat, bread and sugar
to all worthy applicants. The plan
is to make the distribution hereafter
upon the recommendation of the cler-
gymen of the different denominations
in the city. Subscriptions continue
TO como in very freely, and the ag-
gregatc now is about 100000. This
will go long way towards relieving
the present distress in the city, but is
only drop in the bucket in COMPARE
son with what is required to make
Charleston what it was little more
than a week ago.

stone wall, and tho people arc going
to vote and don't you forget it,
Roy Salmon is an ardent McKcn,
zie man and says Handy is sprinklcd
all over with Mckenzie men. All
that is necessary to carry the district
is to get the vote out.
Calvin Lsyne, tho leader Of the
Lalloon forces in Mt, Vernon, has
como out for Mckenzie and says the
opposition is dying out in his dis.
trct and that Mckenzie will easily
carry it.
The Lailoon men first claimed the
county, then lIopkinsville, then North
Christian and now they will be con,
tent if they carry Scates' Mill. LAT
foon will be lucky if he gets 300 votes
in Christian.
Mr., Mckenzie went to Crofton
Wednesday where Lalloon's friends
were claiming the earth and the full
ness thereof, He found at least hall
of a crowd of so for him. A larger
crowd would have been present but
the circulars sent out Monday fell into
bad hands and were not distributed
Well informed citizens say Mckenzie
will carry Crofton.
Mr., Mckenzie went TO Fairview
Tuesday and although but 81 hours
notice was given, about so orr 60 voters
were present. He had heard that
there was great opposition there, but
after he finished speaking the crowd
was polled and not half a dozen men
were found who were not for him.
Ills friends were thoroughly aroused
and will see that Fairview does her
duty nobly. Count on l0C votes for
Quinine Jim at Fairyiew, the Dem
ocratic stronghold

While everybody else is figuring

the following as our estimate of the
vote for Lafloon and Mckenzie. OF
course everybody knows that they are

one day only. Mckenzie is gaining
ground so rapidly that the whole ia

SILENCE GIVES CONSENT.

SILENCE GIVES CONSENT.
The Hopkins county primary poll
books have never been out of the
hands OF the friends of Mr.. LafIoon.
A deep-settled conviction has pre-
vailed for nearly two years that Mr..
Laffoon attained his nomination over
Mr.. Clay by most gigantic fraud.
If in this Mr.. LallOOn has been mis-
represented, how easily he and his
friends could have set all doubts at
rest by exhibiting the poll-books and
proving that ITO fraud had been COM
mitted. Their failure to do this and
their clam-like silence convicts them.
With all the evidence in their own
hands they have persistently refused
TO diyulge it, and the logical conclu-
sion is that it is all against them
Greensboro Messenger.
THE SITUATION IN DAVIES.
The Messenger is in receipt of nu-
merous letters from all over the dis
trict, asking for private information
as 10 the political situation in Daviess
county. The strength of each candi-
date in each precinct has been care
fully measured and the aggregate is
as follows; Ellis, l,045; Mckenzie,
9O5 Latfoon 40, If the vote were
taken to-day we have every reason TO
believe that il would result as above.
Among McKenzie's supporters are
some of the most influential citizens
and best election-day workers in the
county. They are greatly encouraged
by the good reports and feel stimulat.
ed to work all the harder during the
remaining twelve days of the canvass.
Laffoon is steadily losing here, as
seems to be the case all over the dis
trict. Under no circumstances need
McKenzie's plurality over Laffoon in
Davies be estimated at less than 500.
AS Ellis is not in the race, it is idle
to figure upon his vote. This is the
straightest and mostreliable informa-
ton we can gather as to the situation
in Daviess.-Owcnsboro Messenger
