LEXINGTON, Ky, Sept. 14.-Friends of Hon. w. C. Owens here this morning are denouncing in the most scathing terms Breckinridge's efforts to shadow the name of their candidate with dishonor at this late date. After being advised by his friends bere that Colonel Breckinridge had given out to the press here an interview, in which he was charged with being elected with young woman from Louisville hotel, Owens teephoned the following statement at O clock this morning:
 "l am informed that he says, with a woman represented to be my wffe, f' sought admission as a guest of some hotel in the city of Louisville, and that admis- sion was either refused me CT that l was been admitted as a gnest thereof. 1 am unable to learn the time, place and cir cnmstances of the alleged incident, tradict the infamous falsehood as circumstantially as l would desire, but can, however, aud do now pronounce the story as communicated to me as absolutely false, and will further say that at no time or place, or under any circumstances, did ever, in company with woman repre- scented to be my wife, ask or be received at any hotel In Louisville or elsewhere; that at no time or place, and under no circum- stances whatever, have been refused ad- mission to any hotel in Louisville or else where on account of actual or assumed re- lations to any woman, and without quali- fication pronounce the whole story as a base fabrication, made with intent to de- ceive the democrats in the Ashland district supporting me, and who are deter ed that the district shall not be dishonored. '
 NOW FOR THE COUNT. BREcKtNRIDaE's LIEUTENANTs SAY THE
 WOMEN ARE THEIR STRONGEST ADvER-
 sARIES,
 special says: The women all over Breckin. on for tomorrow's primaries. Their pres ence is having much to do with preventing fights. They will be in the field again to- morrow.
 Ballots have been printed and distrib- utsd and the election officers have been mo- tilted of their duties from headquarters, checks have been cashed and money di- vided and sent through the district. The best work on election day on all sides will be done in this city. Prospects are that 1t will be quiet day.
 There does not seem to be any chance for fraudulent voting or false counting, as each candidate has represen tative as eiec- tipn officer. The best politicians are be- hind Breckinridge, and all of the known methods for vote making are being em- pioyed by them. They are working as though it were a matter of life and death and eoncede that the influence of the ladies is their greatest diff culty,

The Political Cuckoo.

81 see," said one Of our literary
men to a LIGHT reporter, chat
there is a question as to whether or
not Senator Morgan, who was the
firm "political cuckoo" in the pres
ent Congress, was the first to use
that phrase. Your correspondent,
Sam Foster, cites an extract from
Robert Burns "Poet's Dream that
shows that in 1856 the Scottish
bard expressed a similar idea. l
cannot verify his quotation now, as
published in the LIGHT, but as
Stunning that to be correct he makes
a good case in asserting that the
sentiment, if not actual expression,
is older than the Senator. But, to
understand the matter plainly, it
must be remembered that the
cuckoo is an infamous bird, who,
instead of making it's own nest, APP
propriates that of some other bird.
For this reason in the days of
Shakespeare the man who was
called "cuckold" and men in de-
rison cried "cuckoo to him. This
is evidenced by Shakespeare's
cloves Labor Lost" which says:
''The Cuckoo then on every tree
Mocks married men. for thus sings he
Cuckoo
'Cuckoo!" 'Cuckoo!' Oh! word of fear,
Emphasizing to married mans ear"
"a political cuckoo" is some-
thing that appropriates an honor or
credit that does not belong to him,
or who, parrot like, repeats a
monotonous expression. In the
latter sense it is apparently used
by Burns, in the sense of humor
with which he always satirized
such shallowness, but l really
think that Senator Morgan has
given us in the broad and full
sense a political epithet that in
many cases is most appropriate
and will long live in the annals of
our times, even as Grover Cleve-
lands "Tell The Truth" and Webb
Flanigan's "What Are We Here
Forw WILDLY survive in the leXi-
cons of the day"
