THERE has been considerable fuss made
about the ballots printed by the News,
for the Gross and Richardson primary,
many parties, claiming that the paper
on which they were printed was too thin.
The ballots used in the last general cleo
ton were printed on white paper and
the stencil mark could be seen from the
reverse side on them more readily than
on those printed by the News. So this
objection amounts to nothing. The law
requires that the ballots shall be printed
on white paper, and it would require
paper the thickness OF a shingle to have
it 80 Us the voters stencil mark could not
be seen from the opposite side, by hold
ing it up to the light. There is nothing
then on this feature of the present con-
test, which has been held out as palpa-
bly, fraudulent, when it is properly I'M
derstood. The ballots as they were. run
off in this Office were substantially in
compliance with the law.

MR.. BLANFORD'S CANDIDACY.

Now comes the Hon. Charles Bland,
ford bobbing up serenely after another
empty honor perhaps, and if not per.
haps then most evidently certain.
Looking over his political career as Mr.
Banford himself has made it, recording
two or three defeats, we had thought and
surmised that he would not again launch
his bank upon the troubled political
waters, but would he content with retire.
ment among the more humble and
peaceful walks OF every day life. But
not so. He is again in the field and may
give us bit of trouble. In days past we
remember how bOisterous, and at times
exceedingly unmanageable he became,
whenever he began to tell us Of the Re-
publican party; is of its heroic achieve
ments, its grand principles and rock rib
bed surroundings. OF these things, il
any such there be; few men are more Gu
pable of expounding them from the
stump thaH'Mr. Blanford himself, in this
neck of the woods. But when we think
of the wear and tear of the machinery,
and the great loss Of time that is TO be
consumed in going over ii all again, il
would hardly seem worth the doing.
Defeat is certain. Defeat is sure, for the
figures are before us and figures won't lie.
Mr.. Blanford can't win, for it is not in
the pins. But il is sufficient here to say
that il he can stand it we will try to.
We have plain duty to perform, how
ever, in the premises, and that is to
assist the party in knocking Mr.. Bland
ford out in November, be the weather
fair or foul. 1t must be done and the
thing is for the boys to get ready and be
on hand to do it. Gross must 90 TO the
Senate or there is no strength in unity.
Mr.. Blandford is on the wrong side of
the fence and il is our business as Demo-
C. ats TO look after his movements when
he comes around looking for seat in
the Kentucky State Senate. A place
there is reserved for a Democrat from
the Tenth District. They may shuttle the
cards and make misdeal in some other
quarter, but not here. For as rule we
have been following straight ticket.
Heretofore we have successfully over
come all combinations, cliques, and
fusions, organized in every quarter.
This Senatorial district is safely Demo
cratic and unless something wholly un-
foreseen comes up there can be no mis-
take in calculating the result In Meade
county possibly there may be a little
apathy among few members Of the
party, but in due time it will be set right.
The only hope OF the Republicans il they
entertain any hope is from this quarter.
But we guarantee the statement that
Meade county Democrats will ponder
well the situation before they will allow
another 10 come between them and the
chosen representative OF their party.
