IATEST-STlll AGGRESSIVE.
Col. Breckinridge scheming 10 Cheat Owens
Out Of His Nomination.

LEXINGTON, Ky, Sept. 16.-Col. Breck-
inridge, the defeated candidate for Con-
gress, came into town, early this morning.
When rendered sympathy for his defeat, by
one of his supporters from Scott county, he
remarked: "We are much obliged for your
,ympatby, but we do not consider we are
defeated" The colonel, instead of looking
,lowncast, as he did last night, was bright
and full of life. Several of the coonels
closest friends have been busy all day fig
uring on the returns. They came to the
conclusion that Owens has only 1872
majority.
Statements to this effect are being sent
TO Breckenridge committee men in each
:ounty in the district, with instructions to
thoroughly investigate the vote in their
counties, and before next Saturday, the
lay set for canvassing the vote and
declaring the nominee, they will be asked
TO furnish sufficient facts to warrant a
contest being made. According to the
rules, wherever contest is sustained,
The entire vote of that precinct is
brown out. Six of the 10 districts
ommitteemen are friends of Breckinridge.
Should the committee declare him the NOM
lnee protest would go up froE, the entire
district and the Republican candidate would
have a better chance of being elected to
Congress. No new returns have been
brought in which will materially affect the
result. Joseph r Hancock, president of
the Henry Clay Republican Club, said to-
day that a straight Republican ticket would
be put in the field. The convention to
select delegates will be held in this city
next Wednesday. The nomination will be
made Sept. &c. Lexington ministers fin
ished up Breckenridge today.
At the Broadway Christian church, DIR.
B. A. jenkins. caused five of his congrega-
ton, friends of Breckinridge's, to leave the
house on account of his sermon, which was
devoted almost entirely to the defeated con-
gresham. The Owens club, tonight placed
guard at the county clerks office, Frank
fort, where the election returns are. to see
that Breckenridge makes no attempt to de-
fraud Ovens out of his nomination. Desha
Breckenridge gave out the following
at 10 tonight while cannot give out a
statement by counties, | will say that
reports received by US have decreased
Ovens plurality to IA votes. | believe
the committee will give the count to father.
1n the event he does not receive the count,
am not prepared to say what will follow;
maybe q contest.

COL. BRECKENRIDGE
Badly Defeated in the Ashland
District
By His Vigorous Rival William C..
Owen.
The Kentucky libertine Retired to The Obseur.
iy Of Private Life.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Sept. l5.-The honor
of the Ashland district has been preserved.
The prayers of its noble women have been
answered, and William c. p. Breckenridge
has been defeated at the polls after one of
the most remarkable contests ever made in
the history of American politics. William
c. Owens was today nominated for Con-
gress over Breckenridge and Evan Settle by
a handsome majority.
Breckenridge made desperate race.
Himself ruined man, with all lost, even
honor, he attempted to drag others to his
own level. Driven to corner, at the last
he uttered speeches SO vile and so unutter-
ably false that the few respecting
women who dared to assume the courage to
listen to his once silvery tongue were COM
PEELED TO leave the halls where he spoke.
With all the political machinery on his side
and ith money to spend, Breckenridge saw
the polls open today, confident of victory.
As the day wore on, the lcok of confidence
changed to uneasiness, and as night came
and the last shadows of hope sank with the
last rays of the sun, the look changed to
one of dismay, and he felt for the first
time, in his brazen heart, the result of his
dishonor and of bis insult to kentucky
womanhood.
The part taken in the campaign by the
women was remarkable. They gathered
~hile the voting was going on and prayed
for the Intervention of Divine Providence.
Over 100 women met in Morrison Chapel,
Lexington, at noon. Mrs. Judah presided
Prayers were offered by Prof. J. W. Nc
Garvey, Rev. L. II. Ward, Rev. w. G.
Bartlett and Prof. J. B. Jones. A large
meeting of women was held at the resi-
ience of Mrs. Mary Cecil Cantrill at
Georgetown, where Rev. Il. Il. Cody, Rev.
L. II. Stine, Mrs. Eastwood, Mrs. Cantrill,
Mrs. Pointde xter, Rev. r. A. Walton and
Rev. a. J. Smith prayed or spoke, asking
God to avert the calamity and disgrace
menacing the Ashland district. A prayer
meeting was held by the women of Frank
fort, where devout women sent up earnest
appeals for the defeat of Breckinridge.
Desha Breckenridge engaged in fight
this morning with j. Walter Peak, an
Owens man, whom he tried to eject from
the polling. The men clinched and several
blows were passed. Each was armed but
friends promptly interfered and separated
them. A pitched battle took place this
morning at Haywood, Woodford county,
between Breckenridge and Owens men, Is
or 20 being engaged. G.. W. Gillispie,
Breckinridge leader, was dangerously
stabbed with dirk above the heart and in
the back. There were several other fisti-
cuffs and brawls; yet with all the heat of
the race, and the feeling it has engendered,
it is truly remarkable that the day passed
With as little disorder and with such few
personal encounters.

R,isin Crop Is Short,

Fresno, Cal, Sept. s.. The general re-
port received throughout the raisin
vineyards is to the effect that the first
crop, while of Il good quality, is falling
far short of expectations in the matter
Of amount. One of the leading vine
yards, Which has l66 tons of first crop
Of rasins last year, has the crop now
ON the trays and finds it will amount
to about eighty-tive tons. The second
crop iii this instance is also far short
Of that of last year. 1t is plain now
that even with the most favorable
weather for drying and handling the
first and second crops. the output will
be less than for the last three years,
and that there will be no glut of the
market.
