OVER In the Tenth Senatorial District that old
self-cOnCeited, oNeratcd political bully and cor.
rupton fund scalawag, Jack Gross, Is a promi.
nent candidate for the Democratic nomination.
Hartford Republican.
We Gods but don't the Republicans
hate the very ground that Jack Gross
walks on! They hate him so that they
cannot even mention his name in re-
spectacle manner This foul-mouthed
specimen OF the filthy Republican editors
choice English has the ring of coming
from so low down in his heart that il
seems to have eminated from the filthy
regions below it. Why do the Repub-
leans continually carry this annoying,
burning sensation for Jack Gross around
in their lower insides, as il they were
afflicted with piles? II is because Gross
is the one man in this section OF the
state who has valantly and successfully
battled them for the last thirty years.
On every occasion ard every where he
has met them shield to shield, lance to
lance and never failed to vanquish his
foe. lie is the man who has never found
fault with the Democratic party, but
always stood by her principles and back
ed the actions OF Democratic office hold
ers. lie was never known TO borrow
Republican thunder, but has always
hewn to the Democratic line, and given
it TO the Republicans where the chicken
got the AK. For this the Republicans
hate him, and for this the Democrats
love him; and they will show their
appreciation of his labor and worth by
placing him in the State Senate OF Ken
tncky. and ..don't Won FORGET il.

WHY I'VE IRE FoR CROSS.

While the News is Democratic and
never fails TO do battle against the enemy,
it does not believe that paper should
take an active part in family fight, and
for thar reason it has as a rule, held
aloof from primaries and let the boys
settle it among themselves. In this in
stance, however, we have in self defense
been forced into the hottest OF the battle.
Early in the action our indiscrete Meade
county contemporary, bounded into the
ring, with a display of clustering blow
'hard-ism that was both amusing and
aggravating The attempt was made to
make sectional fight Of this Senatorial
race. Relying upon the large Democratic
majority of Meade it was intimated that
the other counties hardly needed con-
sideration and that they should say moth
ing, but permit themselves to be dictated
ito by Meade. 1t was also intimated that
Breckenridge and Hancock counties had
no right to a voice because they went
Republican about half the time. Now
while the people of Meade county are
nearly all Democrats, God bless them,
there are no flies on the battle.scarred
Democratic veterans OF the grand old
counties OF Breckenridge and Hancock.
we love the people OF Meade and we are
proud of their Democracy, but they have
never known what it was 10 meet the
enemy in equal numbers and battle for
the supremacy. They have always been
winners with perfect ease and many OF
them never saw political battle-royal
fought. But here in Breckenridge and
Hancock, affairs have been quite
different. Never was Democrat elected
here, but what the enemy contested
every point. The Democrats of these
counties know what il is 10 fight the
battles Of Democracy, and they deserve
something better than sneers from the
Democracy Of Meade. The News has
nothing personally against either Mr..
Richardson or Mr. Minor, they are per
feet gentlemen, but it is for Gross, be-
cause he has 50 grandly helped fight
these democratic battles in warm and
: doubtful times.
Afime and again has he come to the res
eue'of the party in Breckenridge and
Hancock with vim and activity that
! emily a Jack Gross can exhibit TO Gross
%nore than to any other one man are we
Indebted for many Of our recent valuable
victories. The News believes that such
labor should receive its just reward, and
il knows that the brave Democratic boys
of Breckenridge and Hancock are of the
same opinion 1t is the first time that
; GrgsS. has ever asked'the people for any
ffinG: He is not chronic ollice.seeker
dis Democratic record is as pure and
white as the drifted snow. No blot ison
its surface. All his life he has labored
with and for the Democratic party, and
never against it, lie has never affiliated
or tinkered with any side issues. He has
never made race on the "Greenback"
or Independent" ticket against Democ.
racy. Pure, unadultered Democracy was
always good enough for him, and such
|. ptan isgood enough for the BREcEENRIDGE
News.

As we are soon to have a primary
election under the new law, some points
as to its workings may not be amiss. In
the first place al! primary elections are
placed on exactly the same footing as
regular elections and all penalties for
fraud apply. Anything that is an ofense
in an election is also an ofense in ori.
mary. The polls must be opened from
Z o'clock in the morning until o'clock
in the afternoon, and all saloons must be
closet on the day OF the primary. The
method of voting is precisely the same
as in regular election, except that each
voter must stamp a cross in the square
after the name Of each person for whom
he intends to vote. No person desiring
to submit his name to the voters in a
primary election can have his name
printed on the ballots unless he notifies
tile committee at least fifteen days prior
to the erection and complies with the
terms laid down by the committee.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the tar. THERE'S
only one way to cure Deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inhamed condition OF the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF Deafness Caused by catarrl)
