The republicans in congress have
been coaching Thebe in his contest
against Speaker Carlisle with the
view not only of making bid for
the labor vote at large, but in the
hope that the workingmen may be
induced to vote for the republican
candidate this fall in Carlisle's dis
trict. That illusion has already been
dispelled, however, by Th@be him
self, who announces his intention OF
making the race again, and if the re-
publicans are sincere in their pro
fessions they should turn in and vote
for his yindication at the polls.

SHOULD Blaine receive the repub-

literature to show up his duplicity,
artful lying and hypocritical cant,

Southern states, speaks in laudato-

The winfres.Andsrson Suit Com,
promised.

The celebrated Winfree- Anderson
case was called for trial in the Com
mon Pleas Court yesterday. II will
be remembered that Anderson pre-
sided as County Judge from Septem-
Der 1856 till January 1887 on certi-
licate of election from the county re-
turning board. At that time Judge
Grace decided he was not elected, but
this decision was superseded and
Anderson held on till the Court of
Appeals conferred the office Oh Win
free last May. In the meantime the
Court of Claims fixed the salary at
$500. which Anderson collected.
This together with the perquisites of
the office amounting in all to about
81 ,250 was sued for by Winfree.
Before the case went to trial the at
tornies effected a compromise. An
derson is to retain the salary and per-
quisites up to the time he executed
the supersedeas bond, Winfree to COM
in for the balance. Under this agree
ment judgement of $554.70 and
cost was entered against the defend
ant, and the celebrated contest is at
an end.

Shot by a Tramp.

Wednesday morning as the sixteen
year-old daughter of Glen Wright,
COL, was crossing the railroad tresSle,
south of the city, she was hailed by a
tramp, a white man. The fellow Or
dered her to halt, but the girl told
him to let her alone, whereupon he
drew revolver and pointed 1t at her.
She became very much frightened
and raised her hand, when he fired
the ball penetrating her left arm.
The poor girl fell through the tressle
to the ground a short distance suS-
tanning several bruises, and the scoun-
drel escaped TO the woods. Several
men started In pursuit and close
search was made but the fellow es-
capped, 1t is great pity that he was
not captured and subjected to the Sc
verest treatment, as he certainly de-
serves the EXTREMIST penalty of the
law. The girls injuries are not Sc
rious and she will be well in short
while. To rid the country of such
scoundrels first class hanging would
be we'll.

1t is more than demonstrated that
the days of the clique are numbered.
When a few men can order who shall
hold office and who shan't; when
they assume the power to pick the
men who shall even offer for office ;
when it is a notorious fact that none
but their favoriies need dare TO ask
for place, then it is time that the
people should rise in indignation and
clean them out foot, horse and dra-
COON. The Augean stable dissent
mates its foul oders throughout the
country, and an indignant public
sentiment has set about the task oil
cleansing it. This is the issue in the
present campaign. Shall few men
fraternizing as "star chamber" com
mittee own and run this county, OF
shall the people manage their own
affairs?

A MILITARY ROW.

Last August Adj. Gen. Castleman
ordered an election for regimental
officers in the Third Ky, regiment
State Guards. The Henderson com.
pany did not vote on the night pre-
cribed in the order, and the vote OF
the Bowling Green company was cast
by the officers. The returns showed
the following results; For Colonel,
S. ii. Ford 4, M. ii. Crump 3, j. &
Barclay | for Senior Major, j. G.
Barclay 3, r. II. Cunningham l, HUI
bert Potter 3, 2 scattering; for Junior
Major, John Feland 4, Wells Coving-
ton 3, sattering |. AT the inaugur-
alton of the Governor when the
guards were assembled in Frankfort,
Gen. Castleman issued an order re-
appointing Crump Colonel, Barclay
Senior Major, and Covington Junior
Major. Subsequently the Adj. Gen.
decided that the election above men,
toned was no election, and gave the
selection of the rcgimental officers in.
10 the hands of the two majors and
the senior captain, who chose the
three last named gentlemen. These
are the facts alleged in the petition Of
Capt. John Feland, of this city; to the
Governor asking for an investigation
of affairs and setting up the plea that
Ford, Potter and Feland. having re-
ceived majority of the votes cast,
and the votes of the Henderson and
Bowling Green Companies being
shall be declared the.regul-
arly elected regimental officers. In
answer to the petition the Governor
Adj. Gen.Hill, has ordered
Judge Advocate Gen. Earnest Nc
Pherson TO proceed with the investi-
CATION, which may result.in deposing
Crump, Barclay and Covngton and
he bestowing of the regimental Of
ices upon the plaintiffs in the action.

There is 10 question but that our
people are ripe for a railroad. Public
sentiment is ready to endorse any
feasible place that may be proposed.
or the various propositions few
are openly opposed, but the o.
V. and Chicago & Gulf seem
to be the greatest favorites. The o.
V. besides has been subsidized to the
extent of 500, 900, and we can not be
released from this donation until the
road signifies its failure to accom-.
plish its purpose, or until it expires
by limitation on the first day of next
January. Thus 1t is hardly probable
that our city will take action OH any
plan until the relations with the 0
V. are definitely settled. 1t is mere
twaddlc to discuss the matter as
things now are. We can fall into
vain imaginings and put wings TO
or hopes and think q good many
things that ought to, come TO pass,
but this would be mere suffering.
What every intelligent citizen wants
is that some offer, definite, fair aud
reliable shall be presented for consid-
Grafton. The L. 81 N. has It's propo-
sition in shape, the only company
that has, but immediate action on
this is prevented by the o. V. subsi-
dy, and very wisely. 1t would be
great day for Hopkinsville if the o,
v. should rise up and march through
10 Nashville.

Land Excitement in Muhlenberg,

There is no little excitement among
land owners in Muhlenberg county
on the banks of Pond river, where
Messrs. Edmunds and ArkenbIrgh
have been taking mineral and timber
options for miles around. The ex-
element is caused by several parties
from New York who are riding over
the country making critical exami-
nation of it. One of these offered
Phil Fable $40 per acre for his farm
of 1000 acres, claiming he wanted it
for the timber on it. Mr.. Fable be-
ing not disposed to sell, he doubled
the offer, which was also refused.
The coal veins in that locality have
long been known to be valuable and
several months ago it was claimed
that valuable deposits of mica were
found. Mr.. Fable thinks the mica is
on his place and has sent off for geo.
logist to come and make critical ex-
animation of it.
