TIE SITUATION.

.'rHE NEws gave last week ;what IL
thought to be the strength Of the can.
didates in the Senatorial race now pend
ing in this district. Since then new de
velopements have been made and the
situation is changed. We have been
over the county, talked with many lead
ing men from all sections, heard the can
didates speak at Garfield and think we
have the situation pretty well in hand.
From what we can learn and gather from
different sources we believe Jack Gross
will have walk over, not only in this
county, but in Hancock as well. Gus
Richardson will get a good vote in
Meade, but il will not DO a solid one.
Gross and Minor will divide the vote
will. him and it wouldn't surprise us II
Gross came out OF Meade with nearly as
many votes as Richardson.
Gross is good speaker, good hustler
and has cinch on the boys in the
trenches that he knows how to handle.
Richardson and Minor are both fighting
Gross. They pounce down on him in
their speeches in way that you would
think he could never recover, but he
meets every proposition in plain, man.
ly business like way that tells on the
voters. They don't down him on any
thing. He is cooked and primed and
ready for every onslaught OF his enemy.
He is eloquent enthusiastic and full of De-
mocracy and he catches the boys in the
trenches.
Gus Richardson makes good speech.
He is aggressive and shoots straight out
from the shoulder, pours hot shot into
Gross from start TO finish, but they miss
their mark and fail to make landing on
the voters, when Gross comes back at
him. The News admires Gus pluck,
but thinks lie lacks dis 'reti n.
Mr.. Minor makes good speech also,
but he is too long-wnded and wears out
his friends. II he would cut his speech
to one-third its length he would make q
much better impression on his country
men. III
In Hancock Gross will have walk
over. The News interviewed number
OF leading men at Hawesville Monday
and they all were of the opinion that
Gross would carrythe county easily.

THE RACE FOR THE STATE SEN
49, ATE.

1t is family fight. Looking over the
ground, sizing up the different candidates,
the criticisms of Democrats should not be
teo severe. When the primary is over
we Will have one OF these men to vote for
so sure as fate, and while we are advo-
eating claims of our favorite let us, as
Democrats do it decently and respect
ably. The gentlemen in the contest are
T good men, and are Democrats to the back
bone. More than that, each OF them are
men OF honor and principle, and we sup
pose this fight will be fought to finish
along lines commensurate with good
judgment and sound responsibility. We
have heard of no scrmmage or feelings
Of i'll humor so far, and it is best for all
concerned in the outset to go into the
light pleasantly and do what they may in
good natured sense. II there is any
one thing of which the Republicans like
t0boast ltis'to get us in a wrangle among
ourselves. Some times it is done by I'M
der rating the fitness of a certain candi-
date; again by nagging members OF the
party fol. taking part in these contests,
and as they say, allowing some one to be
put up who is wholly unfit to occupy a
public station. All of which is mere
bunkum, OF course, and indeed may be
said to come in poor grace from a party
that has shown itself 10 be no more hol.
Ter than Republicans themselves.
Wecsll the attention OF Democrats TO
these matters just here for the, reason
that they.shoud be on guard and not suf-
fer themselves to become distrustful..
The Democratic party is in power. There
is something ahead for those who have
. yaliently, and who will continue TO stand
by their 'colors. OF course it will be
thrown mp to us that all we want is the
offices, which we in a measure admit, but
our greed for them has never been as
those who held them for twenty-five
years. Neither have we been so 10th to
give up the pie as some of our fallen
brethren.
But to thematter in hand. We say
that in this fight in Choosing.a candidate
/, for the State Senate, let every Democrat
walk up on the day of the primary and
vote for his man. There can be no crow
to pick with any one for this. The office
is responsible one, and as a Democrat
has to filf it let us have good one, an
aggressive one, and one that will meet is
sues "a a Democrat and from Democratic
ataudnnint

AS the price OF wheat now stands, less
than fifty cents per bushel, the farmer
must feel like putting on the brakes and
quitting business. But what he loses on
wheat he probably made up last fall in
the price Of hogs when they were up to
seven and eight cents. However, the
farmer had better hold his wheat for
a while, for the crop is short both in Eu-
rope and America this year, and the time
is corning when an increased demand will
raise the price.

THE KENTUCKY NATIONAL AID
THE LOUISVILLE CITY NAT
+ l0NAL CLOSE THEIR
DOORS.
Uneasy Depositors Make a Rut
and The Banks Go Out of a
Business.
THE OLD BRECK1NR1DaE SAFE

Last Saturday morning the Kentucky
National Bank, OF Louisville, closed it'll
doors and suspended BUSINESS. This did
not create a great surprise in fnancial
circles, as it had been known for somd
time that the bank was in Strengthened
circumstances. Thee failure, however,
created an uneasiness among depositors
in other banks, and on Monday there
was such rush made on the Louisville
City National, which was also known to
be lowering between life and death, that
it was forced to suspend payment at 1880
o'clock in the afternoon.
This, Of course, created some excite
ment, coming, as it did, right on the
heels of the Kentucky Nationals failure.
A wild rumor was in circulation over
in Tobin's Bottom yesterday that the
Breckenridge Bank, OF this city, had
been caught for considerable amount
by the ia lure Of the Kentucky National
and this we wish to correct. A News
man in conversation with a prominent
official of the Breckenridge Bank yeste-
day learned that this bank was in rp
way connected with the unfortunate
Louisville banks, and had lost nothing
by their suspension. The Br, ckinridg
Bank has done no business with then
for years and was in no shape to be
caught.
The patrons OF the Breckenridge Bank
need suffer no uneasness, for it is on a
safe footing. 1t has plenty of money
and is well able to pay every cent of its
liabilities at moments notice.
LATER.
Business was hardly opened yesterday
morning till two other Louisville banks
were forced to close their doors. These
were the Louisville Deposit Bank and
the Merchants National Bank Theil
suspension was caused by rush of de
positors, demanding their money.
STILL LATER.
The Fourth National Ba1k, of Louis
vile, shut up shop yesterday afternoon
and great excitement is prevailing.
