Most of the states began the present
fiscal year with money in hand and ap.
parently a fair prospect of coming
through the year in good financial shape,
but already at least two that were able
to make this showing have found the
bottom of their treasures. All previou
estimates of revenue proved deceptive
during this fiscal year of depression, and
doubtless a statement from every state
treasurer would be found very differen,
from that published at the opening of the

SULZER'S,

BULLITT HEARD FROM.
The County is for Murray, Ice
bergs to the Contrary
Notwithstanding.

SHEPHERDsvILLE, KY, June 80, 1884,
EDITOR NEws.-SIR While favorable
reports are coming in from Hardin,
Washington, Nelson, Grayson, LaRue
and other counties, let not the Demo-
Gratis of Breckenridge think that the peo-
pie of Bullitt are asleep. The salt
River Tigers" are very much awake, as
Montgomery and Mckay will find out to
their sorrow. McKay's candidacy is
bound to weaken Montgomery, and any
other great leader except Ben johnson,
the internal revenue iceberg, could have
seen that much at glance. But wrap
ped in his impenetrable cloak of conceit
and selfshness, and borne onward by
his INSCRIPTIONS political ambition, he
seems blind to the fact, that hisavaricious
greed will finally overthrow the Demo-
cratic party in this district. If the know
ing ones know, Dave Murray will carry
Bullitt county by small majority, A.
B. Montgomery, f. f. Mckay and Ben
johnson to the contrary notwithstanding
Cold-blooded bosssm is dead in Bullitt.
Just why Mr.. Mckay is making the race
no one can see, unless, as your Elizabeth
town correspondent says he is seeking to
injure Mr.. Murray. Mr.. Mckay is a
good lawyer, but not as popular as his
trainer would have us believe. The
idea OF his being nominated is out of the
question. Mr. Johnson can control the
men under his management but things
are different when he seeks to concrol
free and independent voters. Our voters
remember the time
"When Russia bowed beneath the YOKE
And Austria bent and Prussia broke"
but they are not longing for a repetition.
Let the sturdy yeomanry of old Breck-
enridge and other counties in the lower
end of the Fourth unite, and when the
smoke clears away Hon. d. r. Murray
will be our standard bearer. Warm
friends will guard his interests in Bullitt
and all political schemes will be exposed.
Many of our best men have declared for
Murray, simply because they like to see
fair play.
Murrays friends will work hard to
have him here at the July term of our
County Court, and If he comes the pill
tical situation will undergo great
change In the meantime let his friends
organize and go to work fully determined
to secure his nomination. And in doing
this the voters OF the Fourth will admin
lister lasting rebuke to petty bossism-
a crushing defeat to souless ambition.
Fight for Murray and political independ-
ence. j. RE-
