The election for president OF the
United States, congressman and other
officers will occur in a month and yet
there is no apparent interest manifested,
in this section especially. 1t is high
time that our people were awakening to
the importance OF the occasion. True
there is no danger that Kentucky s
electoral vote wilf not 90 to Cleveland
and Stevenson, but it should be the de-
sire OF every democrat to run the ma
jority up to the Tilden mark of over co.
600 and 60 to work to help make it. The
National convention gave US ticket
that can not be improved on and a plat
form OF principles that must touch the
heart of every true lover OF his country.
The man whose name heads the ticket
is of the highest order of American
craftsmanship, honest to the bone and
as incorruptible as he is honest. He has
been tried in nearly every station of
life and has never been found wanting.
OF his running mate nothing but good
can be said. He, too, has acted well his
part in the drama OF life and shown
himself to be man of the highest or

ton of tariff reform, a reduction of tax
es to the necessities of an economically
administered government, opposition to
the infamous force hill and advocacy OF
every measure that will tighten the bur
dens of the people instead of filling the
Golfers of the monopolists, enthusiasm
and patriotism should be stirred to the
utmost. Lincoln county should give
the ticket 500 majority at the very least
and she will do so il each democrat will |
do as becometh him.
For Congress Gov. McCreary has no
avowed opposition from the republicans,
but it would be we'll enough to be on
the alert. A still hunt is the republic
cans favorite method of securing game
and it wont do to trust their assurance
that they will have no candidate. Gov.
McCreary has made the district an adj
mirable representative and made a
national reputation for himself. We
must keep him in Congress as long as he
wishes to 20 there and increase his ma
joritv each time to show how greatly We
appreciate him.
Coming down to candidates whose du-
ties, if elected, will more intimately az
feet our section, we have Judge NJ. c.
Saufiey for circuit judge and John Sam
Owsley, Jr. for commemorative attor-
ney. The latter was accorded walk (

to a worthy and capable |
young man, while the former was nomi-
mated by such an overwhelming MAORI.
ty as to leave no doubt that be is the
choice OF the democracy OF the district, |
and it should be the determination OF {
that democracy to see that he is given I
its full strength. OF course the sup j
porters of his distinguished competitors |
were naturally disappointed at the re-
suit, but we take it that they are all hon
orabIe men and true democrats, who
having submitted to a plan OF arbitra-
ment, are ready and anxious to show
their acquiescence to the will of the ma
ority expressed at the polls. The de-
Gated candidates themselves showed
hat they were the true blue by imme-
lately accepting the result and promis a
ng loyal support to the nominee and
Iurely their friends can not do less than
live theirs. 1t is not likely, we under
tand, that Mr.. Owsley will have oppo. \
tion, but that won't do to trust either. #
