The editor of the Middlesborough
News is evidently almost as enthusiastic
about the merits of our mutual friend
Afford as we are, though we claim pri-
ority in bringing him prominently before
the people. Read below what the News
man has to say on the subject:
To-day we place at the head of our
columns the name of Hon. Mitchell c.
Afford as our choice for the next Lieu
tenant Governor of the State, believing
that a thorough canvass of the State of
Kentucky could result in the bringing
forward of no more able or reliable man,
or one who would discharge the duties
of the important Office more conscien-
tiously or with greater credit to himself
and to his State.
"Not because Mitchell Afford is a
Democrat and not because he is so closely
identified with our city, do we advocate
his candidacy, but because he is an able
lawyer; because he understands thor
oughly the needs of his State; because
he has had long and valuable experience
in our legislative halls; because his voice
was raised in those very halls against
corruption when the lobby swarmed with
the hirelings of railroad corporations
who sought to rob and grind down the
people, and by his mighty efforts the
viper was crushed. Because he did this,
spuning the spois that could have been
gained from railroads, when his only
reward for opposing them was the salts
faction an honest man has in the knowl.
edge that he has done his duty to his
God, his country and himself.
"Need we fear. then, when such man
becomes Lieutenant Governor, and, by
virtue of that office, the presiding officer
of the Senate, that the welfare of our
grand old State will be in jeopardy, or
that trickery and rascality will dare
manifest itself? Not ut all. Mitchell
G. Afford has been tried, severely tried,
in many capacities, and never yet has
been found wanting.
1--WE hatter ourselves that we know
this man we'll, and we are better for
knowing him, for he is one of natures
true noblemen, a man whose character is
grand picture worthy of emulation.
His life has been one of great success.
and while he has gathered around him
an army of friends, ne has also CLEANED
a comfortable fortune; but this has not
changed his being one iota, and he is
today, though one of the foremost men
of the State, as unassuming, as unpre-
tentious, rs in the days when he worked
upon the farm. While he holds no one
his superior, he places himself above no
honest man, and is as proud to call friend
the honorable man who wears the jeans
and follows the pillow as he is the one
who wears broadcloth aud owns bank.
"Such, in brief, Is Mitchell @. Afford,
and in honoring him Kentucky will but
honor herself"

Judge Swango has been making things

our last issue visited the counties of

Along toward the end of the four.
cornered campaign which terminated
but little while before the election of
Abraham Lincoln and the commence.
ment of the civil conflict in this country,
young man who had been chosen as a
Douglas elector made speech in the old
court house at Lexington. The house
was filled with an audience embracing
the enlightened and educated elite,
among whom were such men as Col.
Roger Hanson, Hon. NJ. G. Johnson, r.
A. Buckner, Esq, Mr.. Daniel Carmichael
Wickliffe, and others of no less learning
and celebrity. The editor of this paper
was then small boy taking his first
lessons in "the art preventative and
cared but little about politics, but the
eulogies of the speaker expressed by such
men as above named so impressed them
selves upon us that it is one bit of
political history which we have never
forgotten, and they were a unit in pro.
nouncing it the most eloquent effort that
had ever been made in that court house.
This, too, Notwithstanding the fact that
they were politically opposed to the
speaker. Knowing that the great COM
moner Henry Clay, the brilliant John G.
Breckenridge, and the immortal Tom
Marshall had each honored that old tenn
pie of justice with their charming orato.
ry still more indelibly impressed the
incident upon our memory. Boy as we
then were we admired the hero of the
hour, and wondered about his future.
Thus 1t was that we were not surprised a
few years later to hear of his election to
Congress, and to read in the reports of
that body that he had honored the State
alike with Clay and Breckenridge. and
left upon the records name that time
even can never efiace. Then came twenty
years of silence, and the hero of the
speech that had electrified the great men
of Lexington and afterwards mastered
the situation in Congress was not heard
of in politics-either State or National.
A few months since, however, we began
to hear his name associated with the
Gubernatorial nomination, and inciden.
tally we noted that the gentleman is now
in the vigor of manhood at the age of
fifty-five years. Being familiar with a
part of his past history we could but feel
that should he receive the nomination
and election, that man would honor the
position of Governor more than any man
who has ever filled the Chief Executives
chair, and his name is-John Young
Brown. He is Democrat in all the term
implies, as true to the principles of the
party as the needle to the pole, and
should he be chosen to preside over this
Commonwealth, Kentucky will have hon
ored herself more than she honors the
man. In recent speech he said his
platform was the broad one of his party,
every plank of which is without flaw,
and that If he went down in this race he
wished to fall full length upon it. Dem
ocrasic fellow-citizens of Kentucky, the
choice of candidate lies with you.
This only we have to say, if it falls with
favor upon John Young Brown, you will
have made no mistake.

desirable IN Congressional and State legisla-

the public regulation OF rates may be practi-
cally reached by active cooperation between
STATE and Interstate Commissions. Car
eouplers was the next subject discussed.

sion law IS administered as effectively as
tne limited force at command will allow.
Inc committee recommends the vigorous
execution OF the present law. 1t is of the
opinion that the re-enactment of the present
law, making the exclusion of coolies perma-
neht, and the vigorous enforcement Of that
law and the proper facilities given officials
to Drlng about such enforcement, is all that

Suicide Of Two Students at a Hebrew Col

CINCINNATI, March Al Frauenthal of
ST. Louis and Ernest Salinger Of Philadel-
phia, two students at the Hebrew Union
College in this city. were found dead in
their room this morning. The young men
took their own lives, according TO a pre-
concerted arrangement. 1t is asserted by
fellow students that the young men must
have been demented ON the subject of hyp-
notism. Salinger for long time has been
firm believer in it. Frauenthal formerly
scUffed at it, but latterly Salinger had won
him over and seemed TO have complete con-
troll over him. For some time past Frauen-
thai has been falling off, both mentally and
physically, and frequently complained of
pains in his head. They left a joint note
asking that their families be notified, but
youchsaiing no explanation. Salinger was
still alive when found, and said before ex-
piring that they had agreed to die together.
His diary had an entry saying that he was
going to end his never-eeasing pain.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The Interua-

arranged the preliminaries for making a
survey of the proposed railroad. William
+. Skunk of Pittsburg, who was formerly
connected with the Pennsylvania Railroad,
was selected as Organizing Engineer, and
lie will have general charge of the survey
ing work. Other civil engineers will be
selected to assist him, and he is also prom
ised the cooperation Of local engineers in
each of the countries through which the
proposed road is to pass. There viii be
tsree surveying parties, including the mill;
tsry party already assigned to the Central
american station. The other two parties
will be under the immediate direction of
Skunk. and will work respectively north
and south from the central point in Column
bia. The PRINCIPAL difficulty anticipated in
the survey is in crossing the Andes in
Columbia. Shunk's experience in mountain
railroad engineering will be specially valu-
able in that connection. 1t is estimated
that it will take eighteen months to COM
plete the survey with the present force.
