Lyon County Prospects-sims' In a Cam
rer-Hot City Election.

EDDYvtLLE, KY, Aug. 10, '95.-To
the Democrats of Lyon county: l
see and read great many things
about the circuit judges race as be-
tween Judge Linn and Judge Nor
row; who this county will give a
majority and who that county will
give majority, and especially old
Lyon county. | have been a pretty
close observer of the Democracy of
Lyon county since Hon. Thos. j..
Morrow received the requisite number
of votes in convention assembled ct
at Eddyville, KY, on July 18th, 1895,
to nominate candidate for circuit
Judge of this judicial district, but
alas, as is too often the case, was
counted out.
/ am here to say to you, stand to
Judge Morrow, go to the polls on the
3lst of Aug, every mothers son of
you, cast your vote for Judge Nor
row and against rings, cliques and
combinations. 1 am here to say to
you that Judge Morrow will carry
Lyon county by a handsome majority.
He will carry it by the vote of the
horny handed Democrats of the
county. The mechanics are for him,
the farmers are for him. He is not
backed by any ring, clique, or combi-
nation in this county. We know
J Tom Morrow, we know that he was
raised on a farm; we know he will
make us good Judge, and by the
eternals we will elect him. We are
for him because he won the nomina-
ton and deserves it. We are for him
because he is a Democrat. We are
! for him because he is an honest, up
right citizen, lawyer and farmer, and
can beat any Republican in this dis
trict.
We are not for Judge Linn because
he is backed by all the rings, cliques
and combinations and banks in Lyon
county. We have our court house
} ring and clique headed by a small
} knotty headed editor. In its own esti-
nation as broad as Tammany Tiger.
We have corporations, penitentiary
and two banks in our county backing
Judge Linn.
Democrats, what are you fighting
Is it not rings and cliques7 Is it not
combinations and monopolies? Must
we sit still and let such corporations
as the penitentiary gang and Is or is
state hirelings at the penitentiary
shape our political destinies for us
and dictate to us who we shall vote
for7 No, our answer on the 3lst day
of August must be no. They have
no interest in common with us. In
twelve months they will be scattered
to the four winds of the earth.
Judge Linn is a nice, clever gen.
tleman and personally we like him,
but we owe Galloway county nothing.
She has never shown Lyon county
any favors, she has always refused to
support Lyon county man. If we
remember right, at one time several
years ago, we offered our fellow
townsman and friend, Gen. H. B.
Lyon, as a candidate for the state
senate. And still later, when our
own county man, Hon. W. j. Stone,
went down in defeat by about 1,050
votes including Republicans, carpet
baggers, rings, cliques, combinations
and monopolies, where do we find
Galloway county! Did she come to
our rescue9 Lo and behold what did
we find' When the county of Gallo
way was called she rolled up a major
ity of about 800 against the Captain,
enough to have changed the result
and made the Captain the nominee.
Do you think we owe her any favor
for that' Certainly not. Still later,
only few days ago, we offered them
candidate for the state senate from
Lyon, DR.. G. W. Williams, as good
and as pure Democrat as ever
breathed the breath of life. Gallo
way gave him only 65 votes; now
in the face of all this, we find them
crying out, vote for Judge Linn Of
Galloway. We never forgot about
asking Galloway to support Hon. W.
j. Stone for temporary chairman at
the state convention, few weeks ago
when eleven votes would have chang
ed the result and Galloway refused to
support him. Vote for Judge Linn
no, when the roll is called you will
find us in line and the final result will
be majority and victory for Tom
Morrow. DEMOCRAT.
sims an EASY Winner.
