The Trustesship Of the New Farm
ers Bank.

We had occasion last week to ex-
press our opinion of the appointment
of the Columbia Finance and Trust
Company as Trustee of the New Farm
ers Bank. What has developed since
has only served to strengthen us in
our opinion, and the community is
almost unit in regarding the ap-
pointment in quite as unfavorable
light as we do. The thing is done
and, we fear, cannot now be undone !;
therefore we sincerely hope we may
be mistaken in our estimate of the
mischief that will come upon this
county because of this appointment.
But we want it distinctly understood
we have no apologies to make for any
thing we may have felt called upon to
say, or may hereafter find it in our
way to express, about this or any other
matter, we may feel is inimical to
the best interests of the people among
whom we live. We are for our own
people,as against outsiders, politically,
financially or socially, fret, last and
all the time. If this is wrong, make
the most of 1t. We are simply built
that way and cannot help it--in fact
we do not desire to do so. The APP
pointment was a disastrous one In
'ur judgment for the financial inter-
'sts of the county. We have said so
md think the results will fully justify
rs in using much more pronounced ex-
pressions of disapproval than we have
yet found necessary to do. We shall
see, what we shall see.

81 For $3.50.

We call special attention to our
clubbing arrangement with the great
southern weekly, the Atlanta Consti-
tuition, which enables us to offer both
papers for the remarkably low sum of
$l.50 year. The first duty OF every
good citizen is to patronize his home
paper. He wishes to become thor
oughly conversant with his county
matters, and only through his home
paper can he expect to be supplied
with the current county news, which
is of the closest interest to him.
After he has provided himself with
his home paper, the next considera-
ton of those who are not within easy
reach of a first-class daily newspaper
should be TO select a first-class weekly
newspaper supplying all of the world,
and paying special attention to featur-
es which are of particular interest to
the household aud the farm.
just such paper is the Weekly
Constitution, published at Atlanta, Ga,
and having circulation of 10000
copies week, the largest ofany week.
ly newspaper published in America.
1t is essentially farmers paper and
stands at the head of the weekly press
of this country. Its agricultural de-
partment alone is worth the subscrip-
tion price of the paper, while it num-
bers among its contributors such well
known names as Bret Harte, Mark
Twain, Joel Chandler Harris, Sarge
Plunkett, Bill Arp, and host ot
others, whose regulations are world
wide. Its women and children's de-
partments are prepared with special
view to please the little folks and the
women, and its news columns literally
cover the face of the earth.
We are enabled to offer both papers
at practically the price of one, and we
will take great pleasure in forwarding
to the Constitution any names sent us
in connection with our clubbing offer
at the remarkably low price above
given.
Any one of our subscribers by add
ing 90 cents in cash can secure weekly
the Constitution.

MT. STERLING, KY, Sept. 30, '93.
EDITORS MT. sTERLING ADVOCATES:
SIRs May / take enough of your
valuable space to say q word TO the
Democrats of Montgomery and Mene-
fee about the recent primary for Rep
resentative?
1 am too much gratified by the
handsome majority given me by the
Democrats of this county, notwith-
standing my very brief canvass and
the misrepresentation of my oppo-
nents, to indulge in any unkind reflec.
lions. The disadvantages under which
[ labored are understood by everyone,
and that 1 used every fair means to
adjust-.all differsnces- is,equallyS well
known. / have no regrets personally,
having prosecuted the canvass in
perfectly fair and honorable way.
That the general public may not be
misled by the statements in the last
issue of the Sentinel Democrat, have
sought this opportunity to say that the
implied charge that / used money to
buy votes, or combined with any other
candidate, is absolutely false. 1 did
not, nor did any friends, use a single
dollar to buy vote. and it is q well
known fact that in the precinct in this
county where there is the largest
floating" vote, and where Mr.. Taylor
used his money and secured the vote
which nominated him, that he worked
in conjunction with one of the candi-
dates for Superintendent
After declining fair proposition to
settle the matter between us in this
county, and manifesting decided in
tention to compass my defeat, when
he must have known his own success
was impossible, Mr., Cassity might
have been generous enough to have
treated me justly after his objec; was
accomplished. His effort to account
for his own defeat bv making indirect
charges, which are false, confirms the
good sense of the Democrats in refus-
ing to make him their standard
bearer.
My heart is full of gratitude to the
good Democrats of Montgomery and
the few faithful friends of Menefee for
their generous support, and / will
cherish with lasting and tender re-
gard those warm personal friends who
made my cause their own.
Very truly yours,
III. r. FRENCH.

1t matters not who the ADVOCATE
may have thought were the "very
best"men before the recent primary for
Demcratic nominees for the Legislature
andCounty Superintendent of Public
Schools. The majority of Democrats
have indicated their choice, and their
names are found at the head of our
columns as Democratic nominees and
we stand ready TO champion the cause
of these same Democratic nominee.

Congressman Oates made an elabo-
rate argument Friday before the

The bill provides for Federal SUPER

been declared by the courts to be a

clares the aggregate amount of State
bank issues shall not exceed SIS per

How are the ADVOCATE editors
pleased with the candidates nomina-

preme law in the Democratic party.

disappointment at his defeat. We

johnson of Indiana showed some of
his dirt last week when for an un-
manly Inference Mr.. Breckenridge
said II dismiss the gettleman by a
wave of the hand" he responded
There is another thing you would
like the people to dismiss, but
they won't" Such all utterance
under such circumstances is a
true indication of the character of
man who is not even worthy con.
tempt. johnson has lowered himself
by this utterance in the estimation of
all brave and courageous men. Not
able to stand in debate with Mr..
Breckenridge, he resorts to a cowardly
attack.

Ex-Secretary Whitney has written
letter retuting some published char
ges in regard to the appointment of
Mr.. James Van Allen as ambassador
to Italy. He quotes letter that he
wrote to the President last May con-
cerning the proposed appointment, in
which he told the President there was
no obligation upon him growing out of
the campaign to appoint any one to any
office. A letter from Mr.. Van Allen is
also quoted, iu which he refers to the
charges as utterly false.

The United States Senate was the
scene of an exciting debate between
Mr.. Wolcott and Mr.. Gordon Wednes-
day the latter, indignant at the formers
reference to him as the "steerer" OF

Senator of vesdropping at the doors
of the committe rooms "throngh him

The name of Mr.. w. c. Taylor, of
Menefee,for Representative,appear at
the head of our columns. He is the
Democratic nominee, and right Loyalty
will he find the Democrats
of Montgomery rally to his
support. Mr.. Taylor is good Demo-
crat, and one who, we are assured, will
10 his best to serve the people of his
district to the very utmost of his
ability. He is business man who, by
industry, economy and honesty, has
won a competency. He began life
with little of this worlds goods and
comparatively few friends able to aid
him in his struggles, but his course
has been such that he has not only
gained money, but what is far better,
reputation among his fellow-men
for fidelity and uprightness. We re-
peat he will do his utmost TO make us
a creditable Representative.
Mr.. l. N Horton has won the race
for Democratic nominee for Superin-
tendent of Schools of Montgomery,
aud he will be elected by a handsome
majority. Esquire Horton has served
on the Board of Magistrates Of Mont
gomery county and the people know
him. He is our nominee and the peo-
pie are going to support him. The
talked-of contest on the part of one
Of the defeated candidates is all non
sense. The fact that he held the office
of Magistrate at the time he was
nominated is no bar to that nomina-
ton. Horton is our nominee and the
people will make him their next Su-
perintendent of Schools. More, the
County Committee will be bnt few
minutes disposing of any notice of "A
contest on such flimsy grounds a.
has been proposed. Horton got thu
votes, he is our nominee, we are going
to elect him. and that's all there is IN IT,.

On Wednesday last. the motion to
set aside the judgment of the Mont
gomery Circuit Court in appointing
the Columbia Finance and Trust
Company Trustee of the New Farmers
Bank, was heard and dismissed.
After the adjournment of the Court.
Col. Thomas Turner at the request OF
a large number of interested hearers,
made speech from the steps
of the Tyler-Apperson block, in
which he severely arraigned some OF
the attorneys engaged in the case. His
whitening words of denunciation and
contempt were scathing, indeed, and
the charges he made, and which he
stated he was able to prove, were such
as to confirm the community, In an
already only too widespread opinion,
that man did not have to be men,
ber of the legislature to sell out.
If the charges are false, it took the
tongue of most malicious slanderer
to frame them if true, no words have
meaning enough to paint the guilty
ones in their true colors. 1t does not
need to be said, the attorney who will
betrsy client in one case will betray
another when like opportunity offers.
A gentleman said to ms few days
since, "Ed G. Orear, Thomas Turner
and Reid Rogers came out of this
case with clean hands, and more
firmly rooted in the confidence of the
community than they have ever BEEN"
1t can further be said to the credit of
the men, themselves, and to the honor
of the exalted positions they have oc-
cupied, that the two ex-Chief Justices
of Kentucky, Judges B. j. Peters and
w. III. Holt, who were in the cases,
have not the smell of fire on their gar
ments, nor is there suspicion that
either have an itching palm.
