sacred word called Democracy!
| sometimes think if it were
possible for the vcncrated old
President. Thomas Jefferson, the
very father Of Democracy, could
raise his old gray head from the
sleeping tomb, where il has lain
some hundred years, could look
out and see that vcncratcd old flag
con,aing the stars and stripes, the
ensign of all pure Democracy,
floating over this corrupt, whisky
cursed Democratic city, so-callcd,
we might well suppose that the
poor old President would sink back
to his retirement with disgust and
say, ooh, how has the mighty old
flag fallcn!'
Now, in conclusion, ! will say
that | have read the last two num-
hers of The Blade Especially the
last onc) with much pleasure, and
! | do feel so much more encouraged
to think and realize that the Pro
hibitionists here in this community
have a mouthpicce through which
we can make the grand principles
we advocate, known and be reaC
every week by every one, and from
my very heart of hearts ! say g.
ON, and the very God of Peace will
be with us; for we know assuredly
that we have the truth, Gods hol,
truth; and if we have the truth, il
is mighty and will prevail, and We
should never 90 back against the
truth, as some have done, but stanc
stcadastly and immovably, and We
will conquer; for it is Gods work
! You have what little influence
have, and also the little pittance
gave towards this work; you are
welcome to it and as much more
if necessary, to accomplish thl'
grand reformatory work.

From, the Oldest Member ana
sunday school Teacher Of
the Christian Church
in this City.

Dear Charlie--I call you by
this familiar appellation, because
l have known you from boyhood
up. Yes, knew your father and
grandfather. before you, and
know you come from genuine,
gh-bIooded stock, and have
good reason to believe that the
true blood of your ancestry runs
through your veins, so far as
honesty and integrity are con-
cerned. / knew Charles Chiffon
Moore, your father, only to love
and honor him as a Christian
gentleman, and your grandfather,
Barton w. Stone, needs no COM
mendation from me, for his char
acter as noble hearted Chris
tan gentleman and preacher are
known and read of all men.
About the first vote | ever cast
was for that noble old genuine
old Henry Clay Wing, Chiffon
Moore, for seat in the State
Legislature. His opponent was
James &. Mckinney, who was
extremely fond of his toddy and
visiting saloons. / only call your
attention to this incident (Which
took place when you were a boy
to show the manners in politics
away back yonder. When the
hour to close the polls drew near,
it appeared that Chiffon Moore
was smartly in the lead of Me-
Kinney. Now was the, time for
Mckinney and his party, led ON
by some whisky-loving Demo
Gratis, to lay their schemes to de-
feat Moore. They put up the
plea that they had the right to
keep the polls open until twelve
o'clock at night. Moore objected
at first, but, being such a good
hearted, honorable man, he finally
consented, and the scheming,
dirty work began, especially after
dark came on. Yes, they chose
darkness, rather than light, be-
cause they had dirty deeds to
perform. ] was told, on pretty
good authority, that they caught
up Il dirty old fellow from the
country, and voted him three
times, by changing his clothes,
and the judges did not have good
light like we have now-tallow
dips were our principal lights
then. They were so hard run to-
ward the last that they dressed ~
one of our fancy women in men :
clothing and voted her for Me
Kinney. Well, when the town
clock Struck twelve, Mckinney
lead Moore Il few votes. They
played the same old dirty Demo
cratic game on Moore that they
played on us at our last Railroad
election; but they did their dirty
work in the broad,open daylight,
without the least conjunction OF
conscience.
And is it not horrible to think
that gentlemen, so-called, filling
responsible offices in our dear old
COMMONWEALTH, can get down to
such low, dirty work, for the sake
of money and office, and do such
work under the guise of that

DEAR SIR:
| said some things in the
BLADE lately that made all the
editors in Lexington cry, and say
| was naughty, and that they
were going to take all their doll
rags and not play with me any
more. was just as sorry as l
could be, because l felt so lonely
and out in the cold, and | told
everybody so.
was like country dog come
to town, and when all the town
dogs jumped on me and wiped
up the street with me until it
looked like a pocket edition
of Louisville cyclone had
been around there, all the pa
pers in the State, except you, said
it was not their funeral; that it
was little family racket among
Lexington editors, and with
every editor but you there was
some little sympathy for'iho dog
under the bottom.
Your big neighbor across
the river, the Cincinnati
Commercial, gave away to its jol-
lily in a column or so, all in my
favor. The Courier journal
spoke in very complimentary
terms of me; and the Frankfort
Argus came out like a little man
and said there fought to be some
more Moores to clean out the po-
litical rottenness of Lexington
quote from memory.
Some papers outside Of Lex
| ington saw cause to read me a
lecture, but everybody except
you, put a little cream in the
mustard plaster that he stuck on
me, just to keep up the appear
ance of "scorching' me, as they
thought party fealty demanded
that they should do, but really fix
ing things so that it would not
burn so bad after all.
They went through the per,
Torrance of martyrizing me, and
when they had me tied to the
stake they put a lot of lightning
bugs all over me and in the dark
played tend like it was sure
enough fire.
But you joined in with the
Lexington brethren of the quill
as if you felt yourself personally
offended at the crusade | was
making on Lexington whisky
and played the role of a crank
outsider as one of my cores
pondents expressed it.
Now | am not Directing to
to the fact that you went for me
but | am only complaining thai
YOU did not do it in better style
while you were about it. | want
to elevate the standard of Ken
lucky journalism, and if you hac
only dropped me a postal thai
you were going to blast me,
might have assisted you by Civ
ing you some pointers that woul,
have made your article so mucl
stronger.
In all the racket that the little
thing raised the only literature
worth putting in a scrap book
that anybody wrote, were some
verses written for the Lexington
Press by Judge Mulligan.
/ speak thus positively because

town that has the genius to dc
it. But it miscarried and no

Fenced Them in.

In an book written by Western Con.
gresham, a contemporary of Clay and
Webster, containing "reminiscences OF his
time, story is told of one OF his friends, a
farmer in kentucky named Payne, WHO
had six daughters, none of whom was
blessed with beauty. The Congressman
knew them in their homely youth aud
when he returned few years later
found them all married to good iuflun ial
men. So great was his surprise that he
ventured to ask their father why they
had been 50 sought when other girls had
been neglected. The old farmer chuck

Yes, and you may say when they had
neither dover nor good looks. Well, I'll
tell you. When want my cattle to eat

it off from them. They are so contrary
that they always want the thing they
can't get. They break downthe fence;
drive them out and put it up. BY the
time they fight for it once or twice they
think they like the stubble.
"Well, l saw my girls weren't the most
attractive kind, and-I fenced them in!
"You never found them in the hotels

Young men to know them had to come
to their fathers house. When the neigh

apart from the crowd they thought theil

to break down the fence. They like tc

Curious Accidents.

A New York daily journal gives The
following singular accidents, among Others
said to be taken at random from recen,
records of some accident insurance com.
panies: James Moran, Cincinnati drug
clerk, wound up big automatic adver'
Using device in front of the shop. An
immense spring stored the motive power.
Something broke. There was a prodig-
ious whirring and then the whole machine
flew into thousand pieces. MIR. Moran
lost few fingers.-A piece of fat pork
caught fire in an oven and blazed out IN
to the room. A small boy threw on wa
ter, and the hot grease was scattered
over him, burning him badly. He bolted
for the door. and fell over his little broth
er, who was knocked senseless. The
father, fastening to the scene, fell down
stairs, and was rendered unconscious.
The fire went out.-A comm erclal trav
eller IN Omaha was walking from the
railroad station to his hotel in a gale of
wind. AS he turned the corner an En-
glsh sparrow struck him in the face. Its
bill pierced his eyeball and ruined his
sight.-A New York brokers clerk lay
in bed very late one Sunday morning and
the ceiling fell on him.-The Travellers
Company paid an Ex-Governor of Ohio
$50 for the loss of toe-nail.

Endorsing.

the system of endorsing is all wrong,
and should be utterly abolished. 1t has
been the financial ruin of more men than,
perhaps, all other causes. Bookkeeping, Il
journal devoted to merchants, clerk, and
business men, advises our young men es-
pecially to study the matter carefully in
all it's bearings, and adopt some settled
policy to govern their conduct, so as to
be ready to answer the man who asks
them to sign his note. What RESPONSE
bIlity does one assume when he endorses
a note? Simply this: He is held for the
payment of the amount in full, principal
and interest, If the maker of the note,
through misfortune. mismanagement, or
rascality, fails to pay it. Notice, the
endorser assumes all this responsibility,
with no voice in the ma lageinent of the
business and no share in the profits of
the transaction, if it proves profitable;
but with certainty of loss if, for any of
the reasons stated, the principal fails to
pay the note.

What am i TO do

The symptoms of Biliousness are un
happily but too we'll known. They differ in
different individuals 70 some extent. A
Bilious man is seldom breakfast eater
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but none for solids of a
morning. His tongue will hardly bear in
spection at any time; if it is not white and
hlrred, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out OF
order and Diarrhea or Constipation may be
symptom or the two may alternate. There
are often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood.
There may be giddiness and often headache
and acidity or fiatulence and tenderness in
the pit OF the stomach. To correct all this
if not effect a cure try Green's August
Flower, it cost but trifle and thousands
attest Its efficacy.
