LOUISVILLE. KY. Oct 23.-The Republi-
cans'in this former Bourbon stronghold
are very active. There is every Indication
that Wilson. the Republican candidate
for Congress. will be elected Mr. Will
sou was really elected at the last Con-
gressional contest but ballot boxes were
stolen and their contents doctored 50 as to
show his defeat by ~ votes. The Re
pubicans propose that this sort OF thing
shall not happen again.
leading business mana Republican,
told me that most remarkable change
was coming over the political condition of
Louisville The new Commercial Club
here, organized for the better develop
ment of the natural resources of the State,
is largely of Republican membership, and
is doing good work in attracting manu-
featuring interests to the city and State.
These interests depend largely upon pro
tectiye tariff.
Il believe, said the gentleman to whom
| refer, that in less than ten year. Louis
vile will be Republican stronghold, and
if the development of the State continues
as il is now beginning, in very few years
Kentucky will be a republican state should
not be surprised if it would be doubt
full State" by the time we will be running a
Republican candidate to succeed Harrison 5
administration Louisville is growing rapid
w. We have increased our population large
ly during the past year, and most of those
who have come here from other States are
Republicans. Our party is now receiving
many accessions from the Democratic
party. Many are coming over because
they believe in Protection; many Others
because they do not believe in Cleveland.
While these men may not say much about
their change-for business reasons-they
will quietly vote our ticket"

nish music. We were informed tha.
they danced and behaved themselves
just as well as sane people aud en-.
joyed the amusement much more.
We were then shown the kitchen.
with It's many strange devices for
cooking; then the bakery and lastly
to the engine room. The engines OF
which furnish steam for heating the
building as well as furnishing hot and
cold water on each floor.
No insurance is carried on this
building for the reason that the ia
cilities for extEnguishing FIRE are so
great and the probability of fire ever
originating so small, it is all obviat.
ed, thus saving quite an expense.
Cost of the building as 1t now
stands, 100000. After having reg
istered our names on the visitors
register, we returned to the city,
each declaring this to be the noblest
institution of them all, and feeling
not the slightest regret at having
driven four miles over the very
toughest road to see this building.
AT 80 Sunday morning we took
the train for Memphis arriving there
at 8:45, and after spending several
hours in this beautiful city, took an
Anchor Line boat at 4 p. m. for
home. Very truly,

as Mcmphians themselves, the time
passed pleasantly; and at $3.50 p. m
we left on the NJ. & l.. r. road, ant
after the usual tedious ride, arrived
in the Capital city at l:3O a. IN.
The next day our party consisting
Of J. a. Lovewell, o. B. Furgusor
and your correspondent devoted tn,
time to sight seeing, under the aus.
piecs of Mr.. Miles the State Ayen,
of the German Insurance Co. Ol
course we took in the capital and
made the acquaintance Of several Of
the state officers.
We found Little Rock to be live
progressive city, one Of which all
true Arkansians may well feel proud
The trouble heretofore, being lack
Of paved streets, bat this is all being
rapidly remedied, and ere long Little
Rock will be modle city in this re.
spect. The streets are clean and
we'll lighted, and the people seem to
be active and thorough going. The
residence portion Of fhe city contains
more beautiful houses than any 9th.
er city of its size one is likely to see
anywhere; indeed, in this respect it
is far ahead of Memphis.
Ia the afternoon we drove out to
the Lunstic Asylum. We found the
Asylum situated in a beautiful park,
and hardly knew which to admire
most the lovely park or the stately
buildings standing within. At the
door we were taken in charge by
DIR. Crenshaw, who took US first into
the parlor where our eyes lighted
upon life size oil portrait of Capt.
II. NJ. McVeigh which has been
placed there by the authorities, as
showing their appreciation of his Of.
forts in the legislatures of 1873 and
1881 towards the founding of this
noble institution; he having intro.
duced the original hill and carried
it through despite all opposition.
After admiring the grand recep.
ton rooms and ylancing through the
private library Of DIR. Hooper, we
were conducted through the male de.
partment, comprising four wards,
which in point Of neatness, we are
sure cannot be surpassed by Cur
most tidy housekeepers. Each ward
will accommodate 50patients. The
floors are waxed, and kept as clean
and free from dust US our young
mems cuffs, IN fact it makes one feel
uncomfortable, for fear of soiling
something with his feet or hands.
Each floor has hot and cold water
which is used most cxtravagantly by
the inmates, frequently amusing
themselves by turning 1t on Just to
see il run of through the pipes.
We were also shown tn, immense
dining room, which is equal to many
found in leading .otels; and the hall
room, this VIC were much surprised
at seeing, and must admit we showed
strong signs Of i,,c'eduli,y when in.
formed that this was used by the in.
mates Of the asylum. They are Civ
