Victory Is Ours.

After long, hard tussel Frankfort
succeeded in knocking her ancient
enemies clear out of the ring on We'd
nesday, and it is n ow settled that the
seat of government will remain here
for all time. Frankfort has nothing
to be ashamed of; she has fought all
during this struggle fairly and
squarely, resorting to no underhand
or dishonorable means to accomplish
her ends and comes out of the fight
with her escutcheon untarnished.
The little city of the valley vanquish-
ed the metropolis at the mouth Of
Beargrass and the "Capital of the
Bluegrass" which is glory enough.
The wars over, let's forget all about
it and go to work to build up our city
and make it hum with business.

Poor Lexington.

The Lexington papers are very
sore over the action Of the Constitu-
tional Convention on the Capital
question, but try to squeeze a little
consolation out of the fact that there
it bare possibility that the first Leg
islature which meets after the adop-
ton Of the new Constitution may re-
move the seat of government to their
city. In view of the fact that it will
require the votes of two thirds of
all the members elected to that body
to remove the Capital, we are in
clined to think that Lexington's
chances are hardly apparent, for it
will be an exceedingly cold day for
Frankfort if she has not thirty four
friends in the next House Of Repre-
sentatives or thirteen in the Senate.
And if that body fails to remove it
Frankfort will be the Capital for all
time. Then why not give up the dog
in-the-manger fight, accept the situa-
ton, and let's be friends?

Court Day.

Monday was miserable day but
there was a large crowd in attend
ance upon County Court. 1t being
horse-show day a number of fine ami
mails were upon exhibition-trotters,
draft and saddle horses. Messrs. Lee
A. Owen, Charles Julian and Judge
Geo. r. Bacon, in brief speeches at
the Courthouse, announced their
candidacy for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Representative in the next
Legislature.
Business was lively upon the streets
and great deal Of stock changed
hands. ID. p. Bently, auctioneer, re-
ports the following sales: Z horses
from $40 to S75; milk COWS from $15
to S25; IA head Of two-year-old cattle
at STATS per head.

Dldn't Turn Out That
Way.

The following appeared in the
Louisville Post early in the fight
before the Constitutional Convention
for the removal of the Capital:
When the question of capital re.
moval has been pressed pretty hard
some Frankfort people have been
heard to say: "Well, if they'll move
the penitentiary, too, we won't kick
much" Mr.. Phelps, of Louisville, and
Mr.. Bronston, of Lexington, sit to-
gether back against the lobby. The
other day, Judge Lindsay, who is try
ing to hold the capital in Frankfort,
entered the hall and took seat just
behind these two. Turning to the
Judge, Mr.. Phelps said in very
serious manner:
"Well Judge, Mr.. Bronston and
myself have just settled this capital
removal question between ourselves
on behalfof Louisville and Lexing-
ton, and we want to know if you will
go into il for Frankfort and have an
amicable arrangement all around?"
"For my part" said the Judge, "rm
willing to do the fair thing-but how
do you propose to settle it?'
louisville gets the Court Of APP
peals, Lexington the Capital, and
Frankfort the penitentiary."
And the laugh was on the Judge.
But Frankfort got it all, Louisville
and Lexington got left, and the laugh
is now with Judge lindsay.

Death of DIR. Hitchcock.

Rev. R. S. Hitchcock, D. D., for
merly of this city, died on Monday
at his home in Hollidaysburg, Penn
sylvania, with pneumonia, and the
remains were brought to Lexington
on Wednesday for interment. DR..
Hitchcock first came to this city in
the summer Of 1868 as the Chaplain
of the I'd Maryland Volunteer Infan-
try. Shortly after his regiment
was ordered to Tennessee, he receiv-
ed an injury, by his horse falling upon
him, which untitled him for active
service, and he resigned his commits
sion, returned here and opened a
high school for boys, which he con-
Quoted for several years and then re-
moved to Lexington, where he mar
ried Miss Adams, daughter of the late
G. M. Adams, of that city.
Shortly after going to Lexington he
was appointed to professorship in
Centre College and removed to Dan
vile, where he remained until come
six or seven years ago and then re-
moved to Pennsylvania.
DR.. Hitchcock was possessed of
brilliant mind, fine voice, of COM
handing presence, was fine
preacher and teacher, and it is with
regret that we announce to our
school-mates of 1854 the death of
our old teacher.

FRANKFORT THE CAPT.
TAI.
Settled After Many Years.

The majority and minority reports
Of the Capital Location Committee,
made to the Constitutional Conven-
ton, came up as special order on
Tuesday in that body, and elected a
lively discussion, which lasted until
Wednesday afternoon, when the
majority report was amended, up
on the motion of Gov. Buckner, dele
gate from Hart county, to read as
follows:
1.-THE seat of Government shall
remain permanently at Frankfort
unless removed by a vote of two
thirds of the members elected to the
first General Assembly which con-
venes after the adoption of this Con-
stitution."
Which provision was adopted by
vote of 81 to "a, and thus the much
vexed question of capital removal
was settled for all time.
During the discussion strong
speeches were made for Frankfort by
Cows. Buckner and Knott, Hons.
Thos. s. Petit, Jep G. Johnson,
Judge Bullitt, w. H. Miller, w. R.
Ramsey, Jas. F. Askew and I. N.
Spalding. The opposition was led
by Hon. Chas. s. Bronston, Of Lex
ington, Hon Zach. Phelps, of Louis
vile, speeches also being made in
favor of submission to vote of the
people by Judge w. M. Beckner,
Hons. Morris Sachs, T. J. Wood, B.
F. Bennett, Bennett H. Young and
others.
The section was adopted by such
a decided majority of all the men,
bers elected to the Convention that
it is hardly possible that two.thirds
of the next Legislature can be in
duced to vote in favor Of the remov-
al Of the Capital to either Louisville
or Lexington, which are the only
places in the State which seem to
want it.
Large delegations were present
from both Lexington and Louisville
on Tuesday and Wednesday, and
when the final vote was announced
"the subsequent proceedings inter
est them no MORE" and they went
away sorrowful.
Thursday evening the members of
the Convention were entertained at
an elegant banquet at the Capital
Hotel by the citizens of Frankfort.

Ex-Gov. JOHN F. ST. JOHN, of Kansas, speaking of the Clneinn ati third party convention, says: I was there as looker-on. and watched the proceedings closely. I must say that, as reform convention, it is the big gest failure ever saw. Meritorious forms were neglected, and the only thing distinguished from the old party conventions was it's visionary sub- treasury scheme, which has no founda- tion, either in justice or common sense. It would be the worst species of class legislation. It would afford no relief whatever to the very poor class that need relief most. The idea of making the government public pawnbroker is idiocy. Such scheme would bankrupt any government. As far as a rejection of prohibition is con. cerned I have this to say: No other party convention was more subserv- tent to the liquor interest than the one which just met at Cincinnati, un-
 der the guise of reform. The failure to express sympathy for the cause o1 temperance will drive thousands into the prohibition ranks. It is simply the birth of third whisky party"
