SENATOR CARLISLE.

The joint Democratic caucus at Frank
fort, Friday night, nominated John q.
Carlisle for the United States Senate to
succeed the lamented James B. Beck.
The nomination was made on the 9Th bal
lot Of the caucus. On the Sth ballot the
vote stood: Carlisle, -; Lindsay, 33 !;
McCrcary, 30. Knott and Settle had with
drawn after the 9TH ballot, and Moore
and others before that time. After the
Sth ballot, Governor McCre;uy Withdrew,
and then the nomination was made unan-
imOus.
The proceedings throughout were char
acterized by the utmost dignity and fair
ness. There was not an Objectionable ac-
ton during the canvass. The profound
est good feeling prevailed
The people throughout the State were
| for Carlisle. But he viii be missed in the
House, when the tariff and pension ques-
tons come up for debate.
Governor McCreary will be a promin-
ent candidate for Speaker Of the House,
provided the next Congress shall be Dem
ocratic, a. it certainly viii be. lie Is now
the best parliamcntarian in Congress.
Hon. John Griffin Carlisle Of Coving-
ton, was born in Campbell now Kenton
county, Ky, September ), 1885; received
a common-schOol education, and taught
| school in the county afterward at Gov
/ ington; studied law with J. W. Steven
son and W. i. Kinkead. was admitted to
the bar in March, 1858, and has practiced
since; was a member of the State House
Of Representatives, IS59-61; was nomi-
mated for presidential elector on the Dem
ocratic ticket in 1864, but declined; was
elected to State Senate IN February, 1866,
and reelected in August, 1863; was a
delegate at large from Kentucky to the
National Democratic Convention at New
York in July, 1865; was nominated for
Leutenant-Go of Kentucky in
May, 1871; resigned his seat in the Sen
ate in June, 1871, and was elected Lieu
| acknowledgements in August, 1871, serving
until September, 1879; was alternate pres
idcntial elcctor for the State at large in
1876; was elected TO the Forty-fifth; Forty
sixth and Forty-sevcnth Forty-eighth
Forty-ninth, Fifticth and Fiity-frst Con
crosses; was elected speaker Of the House
Of Representatives, December 3, 1883, and
reelected in 1885. Mr.. Carlisle readily dis
tinguishcd himself upon entering Con-
gress, by his sagacioUs judgment, his able
and lucid arguments, and his thoughtful
discretion on all questions that came be
fore that body, and thus established foI
himself, as a safe leader, a national repu-
tation. His great prestige and popularity
lead often to the suggestion that he Is IN
/ the line of succession, to the first Office
within the gift of the American people.

CONSTITUTIONAL DELEGATE.

Democrats Of Madison county, what do
you intend to do? In a few short weeks
our citizens viii select man to make the
organic law Of the State, the Constitution,
which defines the extent OF our political
liberty and private rights, and is the test
square to measure every law made by the
supreme powers Of the State.
What is the difference between Demo-
Gratis and Republicans? 1t is simply a
difference IN the manner and methods of
government, and these manners and
methods are as different from each other
as dav Is from night. If the Constitution
directs and limits our lawmakers, as it
certainly does, do you, as Democrats want
a Republican to make your Constitution
"A Constitution that forces you to follow
in the tracks Of Republican ideas? How
does the Republican idea suit You, you
old-time Democrat? 4 WY face, indeed
And Will be more so unless heroic meas
ures are taken, and taken at once. True
Democrats are a unit on this question,
and will unite without a dissenting voice
for the election Of any good man. What
IS the matter with you fellows standing
over there in the shade Of personal pref
erence; and you, dampened by one small
shower Of private prejudice? Do YOU
call yourselves Democrats? Gentlemen
this Will not do. The good soldier fights
all the time No dilatory excuse viii be
accepted by the jealous goddess Of De
mocracy. The fight has to be made, and
must be soon. Party principles demand

THE COUNTY DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

Pursuant to a call Of the County Dem
ocratic Committee, the Democrats Of the
county assembled in Mass Convention at
the Court House, on Saturday afternoon,
and were called to order by Mr.. Thomas
Thorpe, Chairman Of the County Com
mittee
Nominations for Chairman Of the Con-
ventiOn being IN order. the names of DIR.
J. p. Herndon and Mr.. Thomas :. Bron-
ston were presented. After some little
man9uveriHg, a division Of the house
was reached, and the room was cleared.
Tellers being appointed and stationed at
the doors, the vote was taken as thevoters
re-entered the house. The vote was an
nounccd-l46 for Herndon, and 49, for
Bronston.
DIR. HerndOn took the stand amid wild
applause. A committee on resolutions
was appointed, and reported in substance
that the Convention approved the callfor
a State Democratic Convention in Louis
vile, 10 nominate a candidate for Clerk OF
the Court Of Appeals, re-afiirmed faith in
the principles Of the Democratic party as
set forth in the national platform, named
delegates to the State Convention and in
structed them to vote as first choice for
Hon. George VI. Adams A motion was
made TO adopt resolutions.
But Hon. ". T. Teyis moved that the
resolutions be amended so as to instruct
for 4lr. Adams for first choice and 3Ir.
Wood Longnoor, Of Cynthiana, for second
choice. This motion was met by a storm
Of objection.
Senator John d. Harris Immediately
arose and offered to substitute the name
Of Longm0or for Adams.
By this time every man in the house
was ON his feet, and the tOpsof the tables,
the seats and backs of the benches and
the windows were filed, and Chairman
Herndon was standing on top of the
Judges desk stamping his feet and way
ing his hands in a vain endeavor to bring
the house to order. Half dozen rmore
men were trying to make speeches at the
same time, and scores Of others all over
the house, were keeping up a general
noise
II was now about hall past two o'clock,
and from that time on to hall past four,
We have little conception OF what trans

ANEW NIAGARA SHIP CANAL.

The committee on railroads and canals
Of the House Of Representatives has Ia
ken favorable action in relation to the bill
for the construction by the government
of a ship canal around Niagara Falls be-
tween Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. The
route most favored is p miles long, and
an appropriation of $4,000 for the ar
rangement of the preliminary details is
included, together with Sl,0OO,OOO for be-
ginning the actual work of construction.
The proposed canal is to be 100 feet wide
at the bottom, with a minimum depth OF
20 feet, its estimated cost being S23, 0O0,0O0
The consideration of such an outlay is
primarily its commercial value, but in
view of our present treaty provisions
which allow the maintenance of but one
gunboat by this government on the lakes
its value in event of a war with England
is apparent. Scientific Anlericdn.

AN OLD NEWSPAPER.

In rumaging around his home the 9TH
er day Mr.. James P. Bailey found a copy
of the Louisville Journal, printed and
published by Prentice & Weissinger" and
bearing the date Feb. II, 1919. The then
approaching constitutional convention
is discussed at length in the paper, while
the leading editorial is filed with ex-
pressions Of regret that Gov Crittenden
had declined President Taylor's request
that he become his Secretary of State.
The president was ON visit at the time
to Frankfort and had taken occasion to
further urge the acceptance of the APP
pointment on the governor, who had
been warmly recommended to the presi-
dent by every Wing member Of the legis-
latuTe. in another column Mr.. Prentice
Acknowledges the receipt Of hat from p
:. Barber q Bo, who sent a note along
with the gift saving that it was the sec
ond hat Of the kind that had left the
house, the other being presented to Gen.

Of town, in the 9th year of pneumonia.
He told friend who visited him last
week, that he never was out of the coun-
ty but twice in his life. On these Occa-
sions he was at Harrodsburge for short
time. He never slept a night out of the
house where he was born and died, and
never ate but one meal out of 1t. He new
er was in any other towns but Danville
and HaTodsburg, except Perryyille, and
never there but once, and then only for
an hour or so. His funeral occurred on
Monday, at ? o'clock. His parents and

SPRING CITY, TENNESSEE.
The Iron Center, The Garden City Of the
South.

A GOOD POINT FOR PROFITABLE INVESTMENT.
The question is often asked, what is the
substantial basis of all the "bOOming'
towns in the south, and the prediction is
confidently made, with a shake of the
head, that the "bOttom must drop out"
sooner or later. The very word ''boom"
has a kind of suspicion of charlatanry
about it, and it is often appropriately
used to describe a strong and vigorous
growth entirely healthy in character.
When one reflects that in the east there
are $40 iron furnaces, and that 800 them
are now idle because the price of pig iron
on the market is lower than it costs them
to make it; and when one further reflects
that all the furnaces in the Chattanooga
and Birmingham districts can make iron
and carry it to market at from 8 to 81
ton cheaper than the eastern furnaces, a
reason begins to be apparent for the so
called ''booms" of many southern locali-
ties. As compared with the $40 furnaces
of the eastern States there are but 81 in
the whole Chattanooga and Birmingham
districts, and every one can go on making
iron at profit long after low prices have
driven every eastern competitor from the
field. These facts can easily be demon
strated, but the most eloquent certificate
of them is found in the situation as it is
in the east $50 out of $40 furnaces being
idle-S0 per cent-and in the south 1 flor
local causes) out Of S1-S4 ercent. There
is a very general feeling among the iron
men of the east that a material reduction
of the tariff rates on iron cannot long be
postponed, and if the market price of iron
should be lowered southern furnaces must
be indefinitely multiplied.
OF all the new cities of this favored
region Spring City, Tenn, is, by actual
count, the most favored. An energetic
body of capitalists of large means have
bought million dollars worth of prop
erty in the thriving little city and the rich
mineral landsadjacent-and are following
the most enlightened policy to give per-
manent value to their possessions.
SPRING CITY
Is a remarkable combination of pastoral
