4 SLIGHT SUGGESTION.

for the letters of acceptance Of the
respective candidates for the high
Office of president. We mean those
of the republican and democratic
parties, for really, and with all due
respect, neither of the other parties
so called is worthy of thought as to
candidacy; neither the so-called third
party or the party of prohibition.
What fuss and feathers after all is
this tlummery of formal notification
and formal acceptance. Of course
both candidates are aware of their
nomination and both were anxious
for it and doubtless expected it.
Each candidate, Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr.. Harrison, had the wires running
into their respective apartments, and
every move of the convention was
wired to each and they were made
conversant with all failures and re-
suits. Nevertheless there is great
hankering for the letters of accept
ance. 1t is alleged that each is
waiting for the other, Mr.. Harrison
for Mr.. Cleveland, and vice versa. 1t
Is expected that some enunciation of
great principles will be made. for
getting that the platforms have al
ready done that work, and if the
fortunate candidates accept at ali
they must do so upon the basis Of
their respective party platforms, for
an enunciation of an opposing prin-
ciple would at once breach the
party and produce either or both
disruption or confusion and dis
harmony.
The New York Tribune, the jour
nal controlled by Mr.. Whitelaw
Reid, the candidate for the high
Office of vice-president on the repub-
lican ticket, is, it seems, by the NUT
terings of that paper, particularly
anxious for Mr.. Clevelapd's letter.
It does not complain that the letter
of Mr. Harrison, who has been in
the field as a nominee some time
longer than MIR. Cleveland, is not
forthcoming.
Is it possible that the candidates
for the Offices of president and vice
president on the republican ticket
are at such straits that they are
waiting for some overt word or
on the part OF Mr..
Cleveland of which they may take
advantage?
If this be their reason, let them
refer to all he has written and spoken,
and learn that he Of all politict
men has so far not written or spoken
one sentence which his political foes
could take hold upon or carp at sue
cessfully.
Mr.. Cleveland will doubtless stand
upon the platform of his party, the
two principle features of which are
an honest tariff and rigid economy
in the expense of government and
no class legislation.
Mr.. Harrison must stand upon
the platform Of his party or fall, the
leading features Of which are con-
tinuance Of . high, war protective
tariff, shutting the country ont Of
the free commerce of the world; the
hideous and damnable force bill law,
which is death to state AUTONOMY
and self.regulation Of internal Affairs
OF state, and close banking system
Let these two conditions Of politi
cal status, - relates to parties, b
fully impressed upon the minds o.
the masses Of the people and the re
|sult Is that the common sense Of tn,
people will be invoked, and th'
democratic party BE- overwhelmingly

The Big sandy to be Damned.

The report of the Board of Engineers
appointed last summer by the Secretary
of War to consider and report upon the
subject of substituting movable dam
in the Big Sandy, near Louisa, KY, in
lieu of dam of fixed type Mt that site.
which has already been authorized and
was under construction at the time of the
appointment of the Board, has been re-
ceived by the Secretary Of War, and by
him transmitted to Congress. In their
report the Board of Engineers recon-
mended movable dam as best suited for
the Louisa site. The Secretary of War
says that il the recommendation of the
Board is favorably considered by Congress
further appropriation OF $4,000 will
be necessary to construct such type of
a dam, which is known rs Needle dam.

The Seat Of Government.

Mr.. Gardner, of Louisville, has intro
duced bill in the Legislature providing
for the removal of the seat OF govern
ment from Frankfort. The reason IA.
signed is that the Capital is now located
at an unfortunate and announcement point,
aud that there is no eligible building site
at or near the present seat of govern
ment, and in view of the many advan-
tages of having the Capital at the me-
tropois of the State, 1t should be re.
moved to Louisville. II seems hard tn
lay the ghost of Capital removal, for it
stalks abroad and gives the Frankfort
people much uneasiness every few years
We favor Keeping the seat of government
at Frankfort, and believe that large
majority of the people all over the State
would prefer that it remain where il is

Lobbyists Working the Legislature.

1t looks very much rs if the lobby is
about to take hand in the statute revis
ion business at Frankfort. Personal, POI
litical, judicial, local and other interests
are represented in force ut the capital,
prepared to bring every possible infu,
ence to bear on the Legislature when it
undertakes the task of redistricting the
State into Judicial districts. There will
be music when the report of the Revisory
Commission is taken up, for there will be
war between these varied interests, nei-
ther of which should be given any weight
in the consideration of the question.
There appears to be n sort of prejudice
among the Legislators against the work
of the RevisoTy Commission, aud it is
showing itself in their reception of the
redistricting report. Now, the Commits
sion was not subjected to the same unto
ward influences that surround the Legis-
lature, and the latter will have to do its
work in more independent and Impair
tial manner than now seems likely, if the
people do not accord more confidence to
the plan Of the Commission than to that

Not to Gao to Lexington. Either.

follows:
Representatives and Senators gene

can state authoritatively that the gentle
men from Fayette will spare neither time

removed to Louisville, aud the contest

A BRAVE MANS DEATH.
The Last Words Uttered by sheriff Dunn
ut SteNens County, IkRnSnH.

In the annals of heroism, from Their
mopylc to this good hour, nothing has
revealed the finer virtue of chivalry more
beautifully than the dying words of Sher.
III Dunn, of Stevens county, Kansas. A
bullet having penetrated a vital part, he
confronted his thirty murderers, empticd
his revolver, and, conscious of having
done the full measure Of his duty, turned
Ia his subordiuates, and remarked "Joc,
they have hit me, aud will be dead in
half Y minute. You must get out pf
here. Tell the Judge tits sweet to die for
ones friends" What could have more
emphasized the supreme courage of the
man Ii is of such stuff heroes are made,
indeed. No story of knight errantry
contains brighter passage than this.
Sheriff Dunn was the Chevalicr Bayard
Of the plains. Hemet death with a smile.
The sense of duty done was sufficient
solace. With his hearts blood running
out he remembered his friend and chief
and his breath was the message Of brave
gentleman, mindful that he must not
permit his friend TO think that he found
any regret in his service. "No greater
love hath a man than this, that he lay
down his life for his friend. - Memphis

winter weather nj winchester.

Last week was winter weather with a
vengeance. Everything was covered with
a coating Of sleet, which was heavier than
il often seen here, though by no means
equal to that of year ago. The young
folks of the city enjoyed it hugely and
sleigh bells tingled merrily. Maple
street, between Boone and Fairfax, was
given over to the coasters whose merry
shouts were heard until far into the
night. Pedestrianism was accompanied
with many difficulties aud numerous
falls resulted. But few of these were at
tended with serious consequences with
the exception of Dick Bush, who fell and
broke one bone of his leg and badly
wrenched his ankle. He is getting along
nicely and will recover before a great
while. In Paris Charlton Alexander,
Cashier of the Northern bank, fell and
broke his arm, and other casualties of
similar character are recorded elsewhere.
