LEXINGTON, KY, Sept H-Both Owens

Breckenridge speaking at the courthouse
and Owens at the opera house. The Breck-
inrdge forces made a big parade and
demonstration, having several bands and a
drum corps. breckinridge's speech was
simply an arraignment of Mr.. Owens, re-
peatlng his charges and criticising Owens's
denial. The opera house was full, the prin-
cipal speech being made by George C.
Lockhart, of Paris. Mr.. Owens denied in
bitter terms Breckinridges charges that
he is a broken-down gambler, and that he
was put out of a Louisville hotel.
A conference was held by Mr.. Owens's
friends to-day, and an additional state

to all Of Breckinridge's charges. Mr..

new sect or religious organization has
made its appearance in this part of the
State. and is fast gaining popularity. In
Washington county, where numerous meet
ings have been held by the propounders
of this doctrine, two or three old estab-
lished churches have been broken up by
the desertion OF members. and the influx
into the ranks of the new denomination.
The sect has assumed the name or the
Saints to distinguish themselves from the
other religious denominations. Their teach
ings are strange and possessed of enough
of the requisites of religious creed to
cause hundreds OF converts 10 flock TO
them. By some they are termed Evening
Light" but the name ot Saints seems
the more appropriate, and by 1t they are
almost entirely known.
They profess TO be guided entirely by
the Bible and their services consist in
reading extracts from the various books.
Another popularity is that under no cir
cumstances will they enter into a disucs-
sion with any nonbeliever regarding their
doctrines, but merely designate for perusal
those portions OF the Bible which their
faith is founded. They believe in three
sacraments. communion. baptism and feet
washing They discountenance any display
in dress. the use OF tobacco and coffee. do
not wear jewelry. and have for both the
male and female members a kind of hat,
known as the Saints hat" which is as
plain as can be secured. The ministers
do pot ask to be remunerated for their
services, and aim TO live simply on what
is volunteered for their support. One more
popularity is the fact that they never fail

LEXINGTON, KY, Sept 1.-THE cam
paign for the Democratic congressional
nomination in the Ashland district closed
tonight and everybody is anxiously await
ing the result of the primaries tomorrow.
Colonel Breckinridge's friends are confident
of winning and the Owens men are equal
ly sanguine of victory.
Last night Breckenridge issued a final
manifesto in which he charged Owens with
living in a glass house socially in addition
to gambling and other vices To-day Mr..
Owens said he did not see how any decent
man could now vote for Breckenridge, after
such a cowardly attack as had been made
on him. Il am,' said he, more confident
than ever of victory tomorrow. Such
methods as are being practiced by Breck-
inridge and his henchmen can only help
me-"
Startling stories are being told here Of
the efforts of Breckinridge people to
register men in the precincts of the county
who have no right whatever to vote The
owens men say it is desperate effort to
steal the county, but declare 1t will fail"
Thirty-five of the best women in Lexing-
ton met at the opera house this morning
and decided to invite the ministers of the
city to meet with them tomorrow and
pray for the defeat of Brecknrdge. They
denounced as untrue the story that they
had withdrawn their support from Mr..
Owens. The women were out all over the
Breckenridge district to-day urging voters
on for to-morrow's primaries. Their pres
ence had much to do with preventing
fights. They will be in the field again to-
morrow.
A special prayer meeting was called at
the Episcopal Church here tonight, at
which divine guidance was asked in the
coming elections. Evangelist Rev. H c.
Morrison addressed a demonstrative polit-
ical meeting of Owens men. proclaiming
that the Lord was on their side.
The ballots have been printed and dis
tributed, the election officers have been
notified of their duties from headquarters.
the checks have been cashed and the
money divided and sent through the dis
tricts The best work on election day, on
all sides, will be done in this city. The
prospects are that it will be give and take
all day long. There does not seem to be
any chance for fraudulent voting or false
counting, as each candidate has repre-
sentative as an election officer The best
politicians are behind Breckenridge. and all
of the known methods TO-. vote making are
being employed by them. They arc work
ing as though it were matter of life or
death, and concede that the influence of
the ladies is their greatest difficulty.

Forecast of the Result.

LAGRANGE, KY, Sept. 1.-THE Ashland
district is boiling hot tonight. The can
vass that will close tomorrow will find
Breckenridge, his friends claim, in the lead
a winner by from 1880 to 2,2O0 votes over
owens, who is in the lead for second place.
This prediction of the success of Breckin-
ridge over owens is based on the follow
ing: In Queen and Henry counties Breck-
inridge will have a majority of fully 900
over Owens; Oldham Will be q stand-off
Franklin will give a majority of not over
90 for the one who will carry it.
Owens will carry Scott by 1.60O votes. Bour-
bon will give Breckenridge $50 majority.
Woodford will besa tie. or pretty nearly so,
and this will leave to Fayette the duty of
choosing the man and Breckinridges ma
icrity in that county will be from 1,S00 to
LOO This estimate is made on a conserva-
tive basis and with all doubt given to Ow-
ems. Settle will poll many votes in the dis
trict Owens and Henry will give him a
good vote and Oldham will honor him with
at least one-third of her 800. and he will
get quite a complimentary vote in Fayette
There he will rest.
