THE ROLL OF HONOR.
Names Not Omitted Purposely,
but Crowded Out of Memory
By Overlooking Joy.

Since the article in the last issue of
this paper on the matter of the vote
on the capital removal question APP
peared an anonymous communication
was received by the editor, stating
substantially that there were many
others than those mentioned in the
article who were equally entitled to
credit for their efforts in behalf of
Frankfort.
There can be no grounds whatever
for hesitation on that point, and it
was not the intention of the ROUND
ABOUT to make any invidious distinc-
tion i'll particularizing a few legisla-
tors and citizens. The roll of honor
was too long for publication, and all
citizens who were alike interested in
the issue can readily appreciate the
condition Of exuberant Joy that
crowded out of the memory more
than half the names Of those most
prominently engaged in the cause.
To attempt a complete list Of the
names of both Legislators and citi-
zens now, with timely warning of the
communication noted, would be fly
ing in the face of Providence, but
whether all are published or not it is
safe to say their qualification over q
good work, happily accomplished, is
a far better and more satisfying re-
ward than q dozen compliments in a
newspaper.

applause.

Mr.. ROBERT BURNS WILsoN-Dur-
ing this week, at Judge Craddock's
house, on the South Side, formerly
occupied by Mr.. Philip Carpenter,
Mr.. Robert Burns Wilson has had on
display about seventy-fve splendid
specimens of his genius in
water colors, consisting of landscapes
and marine views. Many Of the
pictures, in the after-glow of a sun
set, bear the mark Of master color
ist who is certain to achieve a repu-
tation in this particular direction of
his powers that is alone sufficient to
fix a high value upon his work.
There was a sale of number of the
pictures last night, but tonight, be-
ginmng at eight o clock, it is expected
that a large crowd will be present at
the disposal of the rest, included in
which are some of the artists best
efforts

But Duke Bowden, poor fellow, like
boy who held bird in his hand
and let it escape, is terribly torn up.
He got himself elected to the Presi-
dency of the Commercial Club upon
the platform of remove the capital to
Louisville or burst hame string, and
when the blow fell it broke his heart.
Nothing less than an amendment to
the Constitution, removing the seat
of government to the Falls City, will
now passify him.
AS for Charlton, the idea of anyone
wanting to buy him, unless it was to
give him away Immediately, is too
ridiculous to talk about. His chat
ter in the Louisville Times about his
brother members caused a resolution
to be passed by the House calling up
on him to return here and explain his
language, and when he does come a
very large sized breeze is likely to
meander through his elegant NUT
ton chop whiskers.
Like Mr.. Wilson, in reference to
his own city, the ROUNDABOUT does
not know that single dollar was
used by Frankfort to influence votes,
and it will require better authority
than gang of disappointed Louis
vile lobbyists to convince us or the
world at large that her victory was
bought on Thursday of last week.
When Messrs. Wilson, Bowden and
others can proUe that their campaign
after the capital was pitched upon a
highly moral plane, and that the
methods used in the effort to pass the
Louisville charter over the Cover
nor's veto were altogether legiti.
mate, then they may shout bribery at
Frankfort, but in the meantime they
had best step over to French Lick
and soak their heads.

Conferred Upon Him.

DR.. w. E. Baxter, who was in Louis
vile this week attending the COM

Department of the Central Universe
ty, of which he is a member of the

medicine, which the Medical Faculty
of the University, after a rigid exam

LOUISVILLE SORE.
WILSON WALLS AND BOW
DEN BAWLS
Fraud and Corruption.

We have noticed that when a fell
low undertakes to explain why his
nine failed to win base ball game
he always finds it necessary to cuss
the umpire for making rank decis-
ions and accuse the opposing nine of
dirty ball playing-seldom giving the
true reason, viz: that the other fell
lows made the most scores.
Last week our ancient enemies,
uisville and Lexington, thought
they had everything in readiness for
the removal of the capital from our
little hill-framed city, and started in
to do us up in great shape, but when
the final struggle came they were
sent to grass SO suddenly that it
required several days for the lobby
lists who came here to look after
Louisville's interest to pull them
selves together and collect their
scattered senses. When they finally
did recover from their surprise they
were not honest enough to admit
that they had underestimate the
strength of the little giant, and had
been tripped up and given the hard
est fall of their lives, but began to
play the baby act and cry fraud and
corruption,
The Hon. Augustus Excalibar Will
son, whose magnetic presence in this
city was expected to turn the tide in
Louisville's favor; Angus Almond,
curled darling of the Commercial
Club, and Marmaduke Brown Bow
den, briefess lawyer, who pos
sesses all elegant fog-horn voice
and an inordinate love of using
the same. have told pitiful tales to
the Louisville papers of the fraud
and corruption practiced by Frank
fort in order to retain the capital;
and last but not least, Albert Charl-
ton, member of the Legislature
from one of the Louisville districts,
had himself interviewed and sang a
little song about his brother mem
bers selling out, saying he himself
was approached by a prominent
official" of this city.
Mr.. Wilson says money was paid
members to vote for Frankfort, the
money being wrapped in newspaper
and the paper given peculiar twist
at the end" but he fails to state
which eye the Frankfort man winked
when presenting the potent package.
He says he knows this to be true but
can't prove it. Being a lawyer he
should also know that unless a man
can prove his statements he had
best keep silence. The Hon. Gussie
also said that louisville made an
honest, open fight" and did not use a
single dollar, so far as he knew, to
influence votes. If this be true, what
did prominent merchant on Fourth
street in Louisville and a member Of
the Commercial Club mean when he
told the ROUNDABOUT, on the very
day the vote was taken in the House,
that the whole d-n Legislature was
for sale and Louisville would buy
enough votes to get the capital9
That corruption fund was raised by
the Commercial Club is evident from
the remark above quoted.
Angus Almond also claims that
Frankfort behaved badly and
practiced fraud and corruption, and
in this connection one might para
phrase the words of Lord Marmion
and say: "If thou saidst that Frank
fort Is not the peer Of any city far or
near, Lord Angus, thou hast lied"
