The fact that Breckenridge was de-
feated for ro-eleetion to congress in
the Th kentucky district, although
the margin was narrow, shows in com
parison with the vote of 1892 the won
derful power of public sentiment
Two years ago his majority was about
seven thousand, and the fact that this
has been more than swept away, in
dicates that political considerations
were ignored and that the contest was
one in which the higher moral issues
were involved.

EDITOR OF THE SUN:-DEAR SIR:
The democrats at their county convention
nominated me for commissioner from the
End district. l understand that my name
was also presented at the peoples party
convention, but they refused to endorse me
because do not belong to their, party, but
am prohibitionist as correctly stated in
the Morris SUN. have not asked for
The nomina ion from any party or attended
any of their conventions. But on the
earnest solicitation of my many friends in
the northern part of the district, | have
consented to accept the nomination of the
democratic county convention as an indie
pendent candidate. Last Saturday was
approached by representative of the
peoples party and asked to withdraw, in
favor of their candidate. This / would
do if / did not feel the action of some of the
delegates at the peoples party convention
as an open insult to me, in endorsing the
whole ticket with the exceptions of my
name, when the other candidates on the
ticket were not all peoples party men. So
[ refuse to withdraw, and do hereby an
nounce myself as an independent candi4
date for commissioner from the End district.
Respectfully Yours,
CHARLES o. ANDERSON.

In few months from now there
will be a job lot of reyerends in Min
neapolis who will be wondering if
other than heavenly sources did not
inspire their persecution of Eustis
and his policy. Eustis' policy is not
perfect nor do we think he claims
perfection, but time will prove that
the mayors ideas are effectively
practical and the visionary theories Of
his opponents wholly infeasible.

1t is singular in this day and age,
to find intelligent christian people
condemning the-crusade against the
southern lynching murders, instigated
by Miss Ida Wells. Tho frequent

slavery.

Just remember this, Eddy is sound,
candid, practical, honest and sincere,
while Boon is visionary, Eighty, and,
judged by his clap trap bills, either a
knave or fool. This difference be-
tween the two men is sufficient argu-

that Eddy is deserving of support
and Boon is not.

In SO far as being an agricultural
exhibit, the state fair was an unquali,
fed success, and the efforts Of the
management to eliminate the fake
and gambling features Of former
years was appreciated and generally
commended. As a rule, the at
fractions were not of as high or de.
serving an order as they should have
been, and the society were perhaps
too conservative in this regard, but
the outlay had to be governed in a
large measure by the income, and
this was hard year to make any
estimate of probabilities.

A QUEER STORY.
What a Spiritualist Had to Say About
q Rather Mysterious Death.

LADDoNIA, No., Dec. 19.-Two
years ago an old gentleman named
Petty, from Illinois, fell dead under
rather mysterious circumstances in
a billiard hall kept by G.. c. Elliott
in this place. The Coroner's YER
dict was that he came to his death
by causes unknown. Mr.. Petty
had been drinking and the jury vas
impressed that alcoholism caused
heart failure. However, there was a
thorough investigation by the Cor
oner at the time.
But this has not kept down sus-
picion. Last Saturday night Prot.
Kingston and wife, strangers, gave
a seance at the opera house. The
professor is a mixture of spiritualist
and phrenologist. After his exhibit
ton a number of spectators per-
suaded him to 60 to the old billiard
hall and call up the spirit of Mr..
Petty. He did SO, or represented
that he did, and told some, many
think, reasonable things. One thing
be charged was that Petty was &C.
cidentally poisoned and the bottle
containing the poison now lies al
the bottom Of an old cistern on a va
cant lot near the hall, Just about
at this juneture Marshal Flynn APP
peared and arrested Kingston He
was held till to-day and dismissed.
His esprit raising''has stirred up 8
sensation here, acknowledgement is
regarded by most all of our citizens
as an impostor.
