all pins and props would be upset,
and the situation would be further
complicated.
If ever a mortal had friends who
stick closer than a brother, that
mortal is none other than the
statesman par excellence, the civic
master, the potent thinker, the one
man who combines genius and tai
ent-the orator of orators-the
friend of the people, friend of his
friends, with untarnished political
shield, lover of truth-and its mar
tyr-the unconquered statesman
par excellence-Wm. G. p. Brock

1t is already in the political at
mosphere, surcharging it with an
ozone dispelling small politicians
and dwarfing political giants into
pulling wights.

His enemies divided into several
camps-perhaps not his enemies,
but friends of the other aspirants
attempt to discourage the Brock
inridge men, but in vain--for they
believe they can hardly make a
mistake in selecting candidate

name the long list of candidates
for that office is premature just
now, but chief among those prom
inently mentioned are fighters from
start to finish, and may the best
man win.--Nicholasville Democrat.

gerry, and in q subsequent trial,
which lasted more than three
weeks, the jury disagreed, and since
then matters have stood still, the

There is in the Boston safe de-
post company's vaults today more
than 100000 belonging to the
estate, and held by Mr.. Morse and
Judge Wells, who have been anx-
ious to have something-done in set
thing the estate. Recently Mr..
Morse applied to the Suffolk county
probate court to take up the case
and settle the estate so far as it has
jurisdiction, and the court has set
the matter down for December II.
1t is probable that an effort will be
made to induce the court to defer
hearing the case until the matter
is decided in Montana.

BRECKINRrDGE FOR THE SENATE.
How That Man Of All Hen Deserves the

simply wonderful the genius we
have for politics. There is no rest
for the sole of the politicians feet.
American institutions and popular
government make it a burden upon
the people, but they bear it lightly
as a yoke. We need a profound
rest; we need an interim for medi-
tation and puissant thought; we
need surcease from the sorrows of
the recent contretemps, but getting
it is tot the question in Jessa-
mine county.
AS before mentioned everywhere
the senatorial agitation is to the
forefront, and there is no hope for
it, except to grid up our loins and
get ready for the fray, so the gall
lants are mounting and donning
their helms amain.
If ex-Govcrnor McCreary is to be
candidate, and we think there is
mo doubt about it, save his public
annomcement-it being tacitly
understood, then he, being our
neighbor and our representative in
the halls of Congress, his friends
contend, and they are many and
faithful, that it is courtesy due
him, and his faithful performance
of duty, that we should be for him
and support the good man who Of
fers for the legislature, who will be
faithful to his candidacy. No
friend of any other candidate will
controvert this we'll established
precedent, to stand by our home
man, when he has done his best for
us, all things being equal. But hui
man nature is perverse, and men
are independent entities, swayed by
their favorites and governed by
principles. They differ about the
financial question and the friends
of Senator Blackburn, who believe
in what they call constitutional
money, are for him, though he re-
fused to vote for the repeal of the
Sherman purchasing act, n plank in
the Democratic platform. He may
be right--he was at least consistent
for in the senate he voted as he
avowed in our state convention on
this veXatious problem. He has
warm personal friends in Jessamine
who profess to know nothing about
free silver and care less-for him
for his courage and independence
and many other qualities, for him
for his long and faithful record, as
u Democrat-true as steel, and so
on and so forth, world without end
for him for his wonderful person
atty and inimitable way of getting
next to them and sticking like
plaster. They have their
eye on several candidates for the
in his interest, and al
ready they have their heads to-
yether.
Governor Brown has his friends
here, for be it remembered that in
,he last gubernatorial convention

iamine over our neighbor, Hardin,
