Democrats at the critical time to or,
ganlZe the third party and enabled
Ciegeland's henchmen 10 divide many
Southern delegations and control 9th.
erS so that be got the nomination in
spite of his record on silver Now, as
| South Carolina set ber sisters wise
example in 1892. it is incumbent on her
to repeat il III 1894. 1t is 8 time to be
formulating the platform and marshal
ling the people for 1886. Abating not
one jot or title of the demands which
can be defended and upon which We
can 60 to the country IN the hopes of
carrying the next Presidential election
we must eliminate all radical and i'm
practicable schemes and appeal to the
good sense and enlightened self-lnter-
est of he great American people. Too
many issues will only confuse and di-
vide US and we cannot afford to palter
about lending money on cotton and
wheat when We have not been able to
prevent the Lombard 81 Wall street
combination from accomplishing the
enslavement of the masses by the de-
monetizatioa Of silver, and the bank
ing system which enables those thieves
to control the circulating medium at
will. Let US give battle to the enc
mics of liberty and prosperity among
the masses under the flag of "free silver
more greenbacks and gold-all legal
tender and all receivable for any and
al dues private and public" and we
have some chance of winding. Leave
methods of distribution and system of
banking alone to be settled after we
win the fight on those issues.
Now, as to voting against caucus
control, ! can readily and willingly
promise to sustain policy and vote on
the lines have indicated without re-
gard to any caucus. The Northeastern
Democrats have set us an example On
that line, which will be sufficient ex-
cuse for all time. The Senate Demo
cratic caucus has made concessions to
local interests which have destroyed,
what little there was of tariff reform
in the Wilson bill The goollGDn0g Ust- |
SSSefars of the House refused to caucu |
on the repeal of the Sherman law las
summer. Eastern Democrats and Rel
publicans alike ignore party lines and
caucuses when their interests are at
stake. It is time we of the South and
West should do likewise. The caucus
was good thing as long as it served to
rob those sections; it becomes obsolete
when justice is soDght to be obtained
through its agency. My dear sir, in
conclusion, [ hope have made my po-
sition clear enough at last. If 1t shall
nntte and npment the Alliance in nv
support 1 shall be glad, If not I shall not
com plain and will cheerfully leave the
matter of my election in the hands of
my fellow citizens. If honored by their
sufrages 1 will in the future, as in the
past, stand by their rights and interests
with all the power Of mind and heart
which may possess. Ii they choose to
retire me to private life, I will as cheer
fully abide their will. Respectfully,

declined to name the man Tho made the

With the exception Of matter OF detail

Kyle is out Of the city, but Hunton
said he knew the same nan had ap'

By MacFarlane, Kyle's clerk. Hunton

ridge could have petped into thr L~X-
ingron Opera House Monday AFTERNOON
1T 3 O'cloce aDd have heard what Was
beng said about him. VINO where the
SPEAKERS and who composed the audi
ence, be would have retrrated and re-
solved never to show his face again IN
the Ashland district.
rhe meeting to protest again the re-
nomination OF Col. Breckenridge to
Congress was called for 2:3O o'clock,
and an hour befrre that time be lower
floor of the Houae was full. BY 2
o'clock the galleries began to tillup, and
when the meeting was called to order a
half hour later there was not standing
room, and some five or six hundred
people had been turned away. W. b.
Hawkins presided.
Upon the same platform where Col.
Breckenridge received his ovation
which gave him confidence Of his re-
election sat some one hundred mem
bers of the most prominent and most
honored families II the country, and
some of the best known educators IN
Kentucky. There was great enthus-
iasm. The first speaker wasE lder }. w.
McCarvey, who defended the Minis
terial Union from the attacks Breckln'
ridge made upon it in his speeches here
and at Paris. He contended that miDls'
ters did have right to point out to
their flock the dangers that lay before
them, and that when wolf IS coming
to destroy them it is the duty OF the
minister to warn their flock in time.
Pointing to the motto over the stage,
which read: The honor and integrity
of Ashland district must and shall be
preserved" he said that he was proud
of being a KentucKlan. and that be
cause be was proud of his State be
urged all voters who were truly pat
riotic to cast their votes against the re-
turn of this man to Congress.
The Hon. Milton J. Durham, Com
ptroller of the Treasury, during CleVe-
lands first term, was the second speaker
to address the meeting. He scored
Breckenridge unmercifully. In speak
ing of him, he said If be lived an up
right and moral life there would be lit
tie question as to the adVisablllty Of
sending him back to Congress. l
would rather he had good virtue than"a
silver tongue, and believe you will say
the same thing at the ballot-Oox."
In closing Judge Durham said: u
ask you in the name of these women,
of these mothers aud daughters and
wives of good citiz-Ds not to return
Col. Breckenridge to Congress, because
| believe it would be disgrace to the
district and to the State" This was
received with loud and prolonged ap-
plause, Resolutions indicative Of the
purpose and sentiment OF the meeting
were then introduced and adopted.

IN STATUS OUO.
That's where the Boy. Are Who Pleaded
Guilty and Took Time on Their Pines.

The "sportsmen' against whom fines
were assessed early in the week in pur-
suance OF proceedings instituted by the
grand jury, awoke today to find that
there had been somewhat Of an irregu.
larity in the matter Of the fine, but the
subsequent explanation is not Of a char
acter to make them rejoice. for il things
he as IT now appears. the sports have
been dumped out Of a very small frying
pan into a very large fire. The present
aspect Of the case is that the court erred
in assessing a fine Of go each in the
cases. as the minimum. when it appears
that the statute likes the minimum at
not less than $500. and II would seem
that the court has taken this view
Of the case IN the following order which
was promulgated yesterday:
In regard to the gaming cases. where
the defendants pleaded guilty the other
day. the court orders that execution of
the judgment pf ~ court liz the pleas
Of guilty be stayed. and that the order
committing the defendants to the Gus
tOdy Of the sheriff be vacated. and the
matter remain IN stdtUs ono until fur
ther order Of this court.
1t so happened. and possibly unfor-
tunately for the defendants. that none
OF them had paid the merely nominal
fine Of sl0 which had been assessed
against them one and all by the court,
az "a fuI upJ .ourLat. s.t;.Fu. IL
violation Of the statute under which
they wers indicted. Had any one Of
them done 50. be would now be in very
fine trim to demur to further proceedings
for it is reported that the status quo in
which the defendants are left by the or
der above recited. is soon to be rudely
disturbed by a summons to appear and
he mulct in the sun Of $500 or more for
having trified with the proprieties. Hav-
ing paid the fine Of $40. and both theo.
retically and practically squared ac-
counts with she OF the bandaged eve
and !eaden heel, the sports could most
consistently claim the immunity from |
further visitation Of the law. obtained by
having not only been in jeopardy" but
in having discharged the debt due to
society. II a judge assigns capital pun
ishment for a petty larceny or a misde-
meanor, the accused should promptly
call his honor's attention to his ques-
tionable liberality in dispensing punish
ment. but when he errs or the other side
the accused should promptly close the
deal, and take a receipt. and no doubt
many Of those who are now status guo''
wish they had. But a knowledge Of law
is not acquired in a day. and possibly
the defendants should not be blamed for
failing to avail themselves Of the loop
hole offered.

Surely IL there are unhappy sufferers on
earth upon whom the angels loose down in pity
it il people aeonized with rheumatism. They
are ia torment the year round with little or no
respite. Now, there is 10 evidence to which
publicity has been given in behalf of Hostetter's
StomachsBitters more concurrent and convinc-
ing than that in behalf OF its efficacy in incl
pient rheumatism. And since rheumatism and
rheumatic and simple govt are among the most
obstinate complaints to which this admirably
remedy is adapted, and since they all have q
fatal tendency to attack the vital organs, the
advisability of an early use Of the Bitters. when
they manifest themselves, must be apparent.
