Montgomery Sets a Trap for
Murray on the Sugar Question
and Springs II.
II Does not Work However. But
Montgomery Is Caught
Himself.
ABUSES THE RMERS.

BRECKENRlDGE NEws:-Alexander the
Great (2) who asks fora fourth term in
Congress at the hands OF the voters In
this district made speech in Congress
before the Chicago Convention in 1892
advocating Hill, Of New York, for the
Presidency. This oh was published
in the Elizabethtown News two weeks
before he delivered il on the floor, under
flaming head lines of warning, and, it ID
even said that Proctor Knott wrote il
for him. Oh the greatness of some
men is glitteriDgly bright and should be
copied. Hill was his first choice, but II
he could not get him he wanted Senators
Brice or German with perhaps just a
little tiny hope that the people would
recognize his greatness with big G.
But Alack where o please tell us where
Hill, German and Brice are to-day.
Echo sayeth with the gold bugs where
Alex wants to be.
He froze 10 his first choice and to his
sub choices even unto the day of Cleve-
lands ell ction.
The next thing that came was the
election of Crisp and his condemnation
Of Mr.. Mills, then a member of the
House, whom he now confesses is as
good tariff reformer as the former, but
Mills silver ideas did not suit Alex, nor
would Mills reward him for his service
by placing him on the Ways and Means
Committee, the Conference Committee
not being then in sight Crisp had
promised kiss for kiss and scratch for
scratch. 80, how we apples do swim"
And now the Elzabethtown News and
the Hardin Independent are publishing
paid for praises of Alexis greatness, con-
demning Dave Murray with the Louis
vile Post and Ben Johnson's paper at
Bardstown crying out "me too, boys" for
Alex is great. Well, no now, Sommors
does not condemn Murray, for he is
smart enough 10 know that Murray will
win August 4th and he wants TO be
"untrussed so he can handle John w.
Lewis" at least that is what he said in his
last issue.
1t has cropped out that Alex is jealous
of the Orphan brigade for he frequently
shows his anger towards Henry Waiter
son, Senator Bill Linsey, Clifton Breck-
inridge, Willie b eckinridge, OF Ashland
fame, and upon every occasion ignors
his own brother, James Montgomery and
a drawer Confederate soldier never drew
saber or shot gun than he. But Alex
says the Confederate soldies is asking
too much and to prove he means it, he
knitted Luke Kennedy, of this place, who
is survivor of this brigade and had a
strong, personal endorsement of Senator
Linsey for store-keepership.
There was but one other Alexander in
this world and his fame had been won
and furnished by the brutal exercises of
power and died in the spring OF 324 B. c..
Of fever contracted in the unhealthy
marshes OF Caldaean; but ha Ia; i IA
Alexander rnde-- - -''e N"A'"i
--s siie morse the King Crisp give him
on the Ways and Means and Conference
but the old critter began to
buck jump with his rider here yesterday
when Murray pulled his tail at Catho
lie picnic where they met in joint debate
but Alexander's friends held him down
until they reached Rineyville at another
speaking where Murray charged the old
plug on his blind side and he jumped
from under Alexander and
when last seen he was on his way to
Washington TO his owner, Crisp with a
mo good" expression flashing from his
good eye whilst Alex, his would be
owner, is left behind badly used up
House Conferee.
During the speaking here Montgomery,
after having spoken thirty-five minutes
in an apology for having voted for Mr.
Crisp when the people had demanded OF
him to vote for Mr.. Mills. said that he
knew best what 10 do and knew the two
men personally and that the people OF
the district only knew them by the
reports which were not relia-
Bile, yet he has the affrontery TO call
attention to the press which teens with
his praises and announce that they are
true. All certainly. Of course that is
about what / did-'don't cher know"
Before he concluded he challenged Dave
Murray to show up his position on the
sugar bounty. Murray was silent-so
Alexander came back at him in this
way: "Ahi ha, you are afraid are you ?
Well, gentleman there is a secret in
this. The farmers" this farmers
."up in Marion and the other counties
east OF here importuned me 10 vote in
the house for the sugar bounty, but as
il is the most infamous feature Of the
Mckinley Bill, would suffer my right
arm pulled from It's socket first These
farmers were for me in my other races
and because they raise a lot OF mules
every year TO sell TO the southern planter
they threaten TO vote against me; and
my homo able opponent is silent, be is
afraid he will lose their votes"
But at the Rineyville speaking Dave
Murray declared that he was for free
sugar. He would have done this here,
but he wanted Montgomery TO express
himself and unload his interest in the
farmer.
So there is no use for you TO dodge
now Alexander. for your sins have found
