And this is the height, length and
breadth of her offending, politically.
No, the trouble is just this: To save
Mr.. Perry in this race, it is absolutely
necessary to draw party lines rs
closely as possible. The joint discuss
ions of the two candidates show too
! plainly whom the people should sup
port. 1t is too evident that to rest
the matter upon merit and qualiica-
ton, it would be utterly impossible to
tide Mr.. Perry over. And because
Miss Wheeler is not a politician the
Monitor denounces her Us a political
coward. To those who have seen hen
and heard her talk about the duties OF
the office she asks and who know
something of her history, the falsity
of this soft impeachment needs not b,
proven. We veture to say that wher
this canvass is over Mr., Perry vii
have no reason to say that she is ,
coward. Such illusions as thos,
from the Monitor may do for beardles,
boys and youthful politicians; bu
those who have a more immediate in

a patriotic duty by the brandishing o

Democrats OfScOtt County Favor
Repeal Of the Sherman Act.

Georgetown, KY, Oct. 16.-To-day
being County Court day, the town

court day crowd was augmented by
reason af the big revival, which is

which is also in session. The business
depression was very naturally the
subject of talk among farmers and
1900 me afmOsr universal verdict
was in favor Of the repeal of the pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman silver
law. There is no question that the
people of Scott county are on the side
of the President and Secretary Car.
Isle in the matter.
To give formal and more emphatic
expression to this feeling, a public
meeting has been called, to be held
at the court house on Wednesday
