Stone For Governor
lCa.lettsburg Democrat. |

lCatlettsburg Democrat
The political slate makers have been
busy for some time arranging DEM
ocratic slate for State officers in 1891.
Such states are just little previous
and 1t is quite likely that
they will be broken into so
many pieces that their creator will
not recognize the fragments. We
offer no slate, but for the information
of those engaged in such business we
will simply mention Hon.w. J. Stone,
tho able Congressman from the old
Gibraltar district will, If he lives, sue
coed Governor Buckner. The times are
ripening for a farmer Governor, and
Capt. Stone is not only an actual farm
err, but is also q Statesman OF &C
knowledged ability. He Is well
equipped by his attachments and
experience in public affairs, to make
a fit Governor for the proudest and
grandest old Commonwealth In this
Union and the fingers on the politi.
cal sign boards all point to Hon. w
]. Stone as the next Governor OF
Kentucky. We make no charge fol
this information and only state 1t sc
that future slate makers can govern
themselves accordingly. And by
way of conclusion we would further
remark that Eastern and Western
Kentucky will be heard from in our
next convention for the nomination
of State officers.
