the sentiment in Democratic circles seems
to be growing more strongly in favor of
Judge Wilson'S candidacy. The majority
of Democratic voters not only expect but
are anxious that he should receive the nom-
nation. and the delegates. if instructed at
all, will doubtless be requested to use their
efforts in his behalf.

Still Crying for Rice.

To the Editor Of the Globe.
Notwithstanding the fact that Mayor
Rice declines to be candidate for the
Democratic congressional nomination, l
think he should sacrifice his personal OBJ
jections and accept the nomination which
will be undoubtedly rendered him. He will
be acceptable to all classes of people, and
will make an honest and honorable repre-
sentative. The fact that MIR. Rice is mot
candidate and does not aspire to this
position" is conclusive evidence as to his
true fitness to serve the masses.

over a dark horse in the event of Lovely'S
strength falling short. A number OF names

bathing with several companions in

to save his life by w. A. Ross, which

Young Houston was q student at

several years, Distinguishing himself in
all his classes, and had returned to
Lexington for the purpose of entering
the law school next session.
In person he was handsome, manly,
and graceful and the great esteem in
which he was held was best shown in
the untiring exertions for two days by
all classes of our citizens to recover his

is over the entire community on &C.

surviving child Herbert Spencer would
have died in his boyhood. He was
brought up, as far as possible, in the

were avoided by his careful and judi

and their properties and laws before

ditions as far remote as possible from
the wearisome labor Of the school.room.
