CONGRESSIONAL.
THE RACE AS NOW MADE UP
BETWEEN MEssRs. ELLIS
AND POWELL.

The KENTUCKIAN as yet has had
nothing to say about the race for
Congress, but as other papers in the
district have taken stand and seeing
no good TO arise from delay, it will
venture its selection to-day, of the
man who should represent the Sec
ond District in the next Congress.
The man who is TO be supported by
the KENTUCKIAN is one that not only
single county, or a district should
feel proud, of but one that the entire
State will admit to be not only capa-
BILE, but deserving of any honor given
him. The time has come when no
voter should be blinded bYprejudice
or policy, but should examine care
fully into the real merits Of the man
who is to receive his support, and
support. only man who will prop
erly represent the people, and devote
his time TO their best interests. Our
choice is a man in whose countenancc
you can read honesty of purpose,
sincerity of friendship, and unbound
ed principle; and who will never
give you cause to regret the vote you
cast for him. lie is a man who will
not shake a workingman's hand for
policy before an election, and refuse
it afterward simply because he has
carried his purpose. He is man
whose ambition has led him to the
place where he now stands, and that
same ambition is what prompts him
to request a seat in the next Congress,
where he will reflect credit upon
himself and the district. The gentle
nan to whom we refer is Capt. w.
I. Ellis, of Davies county, who now
las so many followers in Christian
md which number is increasing ev-
ry day.

As long as Auditor Hewitt stands
his ground and courts investigation
of his books, the State press should
not be too hasty in bringing false
accusations to bear upon him. Were
he in any way responsible for Tate's
defalcation he too would have been
probably missing. 1t is true Tate
was believed to be honest, but the
time has now come for the people to
know and not believe, and as Audi
tor Hewitt is making manly stand,
he should not be too severely dealt
with until worse things than are
now known are proven. There is
not one in thousand who would not
have believed just as Auditor Hewitt
did that as long as his and Tate's
books balanced that the money was
on hand.

Just Cause For Complaint.

ITO the Editor of the Courier-Journal.l
Iwant to thank you for your just
and timely editorial in to-day's Cour-
ier.J journal, entitled "Courtesy or
Cowardice." There is neither sense,
justice, nor good policy in the custom
which permits local Representative
to pass or defeat a bill AS he may
elect, wholly without regard to the
merits of the measure. BY the oper-
alton of this rule, as now adhered to
by the Kentucky Legislature, every
local bill is enacted or defeated at the
will of single Representative. The
wisdom of ninety-nine Representa-
tlves is set at naught and silenced at
the command off one.
But the unjust and injurious oper-
alton of this custom has a wider APP
plication than is given to it in your
editorial. 1t not only secures the
passage of vicious measures and de-
feats meritorious ones, but in some
cases, it enables one or two Repub-
licau Representatives or Senators to
dictate to and control the Den nfn t =,

matters of serious import and inter-
est to the party. A bill of which l
have knowledge will serve as an illus
tration: A bill to amend the charter
of one of the most prosperous cities
in the Commonwealth has been pend
ing before the Legislature about a
month. The bill is entirely proper
and Just and ought to have been
passed promptly. The interest and
welfare of the people of the city in
question demand its passage, and no
reason, based on right and justice,
can be offered in opposition to it. In
addition to this its passage is earnest
ly desired by every Democratic voter
in the city. They have petitioned the
Legislature and clamoroursly appeal
ed to it 10 pass the bill-yet their pc
tition and appeal have not been heed
ed, because, forsooth, the Representa-
tive and Senator are Republicans
and are opposed to the bill on the
GROUND that it would be of benefit t
the Democratic party.
Suppose the situation in Kentuck!
were changed, and the Republican
had a majority in the Legislature
would they defeat measure Of loca
interest to their party because tn
) Representative of the locality hap
pened to be Democratic?

The Greensboro Messenger won the
Mcintyre suit for libel, Saturday, the
jury agreeing that the paper had
published facts. This thing of rob-
blng newspapers of $4,000 on ac-
count of "libelous facts" published,
does not seem to be encouraged by
the people who are served by the
papers. which is exactly as it should
be, for when Independent journalism
is properly appreciated, better results
will still follow, and many things,
yet covered up will be turned up
TO the public gaze.
