The Candidates.

The candidates for the various Of
fees, with one OF two exceptions, met
in debate at Lafayette Saturday for
the first time. The opening Of the
campaign was exceedingly mild and
courteous. Esq. Anderson, Republi-
can nominee for County Judge, start
cd the ball TO rolling and Judge Win
free, his Democratic opponent, follow
ed. Messrs. Brown and Day for Cir
cult Clerk; Breathitt and Long for
County Clerk; Ferguson and Payne
for County Attorney; Renshaw and
Champlin for Superintendent; Boyd
and Dixon for Sheriff, and Glass
and Long for Jailer, each
tried to explain to good crowd COM
posed of both parties, why he should
be elected to the position sought.
Several of the "boys" were badly
scared, but managed TO get through
speaking their pieces in pretty good
style. The most animated discus
sion was between Ferguson and
Payne. The former made regular
blood and thunder Republican speech,
calling on the voters to stick to their
party principles regardless of person
al preferences, etc, etc. Payne met
him on his chosen ground and the
debate took national turn. So it is
not unlikely that the people will hear
a good deal about the tariff and other
exciting matters before the election
comes of.

The Embarrassing Position He At.
tanned In a Street Car.

Coming down from the house on
the hill in herdic, one day last week,
were cabinet officer school girl
and two correspondents. The cabi-
net officer got in last, and fumbling
dreamily in his vest pocket, tlshed up
a couple of tickets and put them In
the box. Seeing the mirth in the
journalistic countenance, the secre-
tary remarked:
ooh, l put two in, didn't /? l
thought my wife was along"
The school girl dropped her books
and giggled as she scrambled them
together again. The two newspaper
men laughed. 1t was so funny to see
such a slippery set of books. The
driver looked in and laughed too.
He had probably had his hours re-
duced that morning TO sixteen. The
driver told the secretary through the
window that it was "all right
Take the next fare" he added. The
ncxt person who got in was maiden

winters. Her visage looked as If II

nearest the box and when her five
cents was handed up the secretary
calmly took it and put it in his peck
ct according to the previous agree
ment, looking dreamily out on thu
lovely park and oblivious to every
thing, The driver registered thu
fare on his gong and all was right al
right could be. All except the new
conner. A study of her countenanc,
by the two newspaper men and tn,
schoolgirl would have resulted in
shocking improperly, but for the re
markable presence of mind of the lat
ter. The books slipped again ant
went sprawling at her feet, Will,
three persons bumped their heads t,
recover them and laughed absurdly
The secretary looked coldly at thi
performance. The maiden lad,
