CURRENT NEWS AND COMMENT.
THE counties of Breathitt and John
son will both go into the Convention at
Campton next Monday with two sets of
delegates, and at this writing it is impos
sible to tell what the result of the pri
mary in Montgomery yesterday was.
Both Mr.. Kendall and Mr.. Lisle will have
q strong following in the Convention,
and it is now thought it will be hot
fight for choice between them. Let us
hope, however, that the choice of the
Convention may be made without trou-
BILE, and that no ill-feeling will be gene
rated. Either of the gentlemen named
would make Representative of whom
the district can be proud, so that no OBJ
jections ~ either can be urged on that
score, and whatever the result of the Con-
ventiou the Democrats of the District
should accept it as for the best interests
of the party.
OUR Senators and Representatives
should use every effort to encourage a
handsome appropriation from the State
for the Worlds Fair. This part of Ken
lucky will be benefited to GREATER ex-
tent than any other section, and parsi-
mony on the part of our Representatives
at this time would prove "penny wise
and pound foolish"
