THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

We did think the Democrats had
some chance of reversing the Re-
publcans at the coming election.
But now that the nominations have
been made we reverse our opinion
and believe that every Republican
will be elected. We have no personal
objection to the nominees, but the
people want experienced, capable
and known men. The great objec-
ton to the present council is not for
want Of experience, but for lack of
practical, careful consideration of
affairs, and a discord that seems to
exist as to the administration of
town government. Therefore, the
Democrats had a fair chance for sue
cess, but the Republicans have beat
en- them in nominees for experience
and business, but that even does no
discredit to the honor and fairness
Of the Democratic candidates.

Kentucky's Governor Believes HE Son
Was Assassinated.

LOUISVILLE, May 8.-The plans of
the prosecution in the Gordon case
have taken a sensational turn in the
issuance of q subpoena fer Webster
Gazlay. Attorneys engaged in the
prosecution have taken this step up
on the theory that Gazlay is the man
who telephoned to Gordon and who
Swallowed and located the couple.
Mr.. Gazlay is one of the few who
was received by Gordon at the jail.
The prosecution will attempt to
prove that Arch Dixon Browns
death was due to a deep laid plot to
assassinate him, trap as the prose-
cution believes, fostered and planned
by one who, for reasons best known
to himself, was afraid to do the work
and used Gordon as the tool to carry
out his design. These statements
come directly from the prosecution.
James A. Scott, the Frankfort
attorney employed by Governor
Brown, said: "Govenor Brown never
authorized any statement that he
would not prosecute the case, nor
did he dream of granting a pardon,
as has been stated. He is now firmly
convinced that well planned trap
was laid for his son and that his son
was selected for the sacrifice out of
large number Of like offenders.
The man who took Gordon to Lucy
Smiths house must be brought into
court"

WHEAT UPWARD.

At last the farmer has chance
for profits, though to the toiling
poor it means more labor, or a cut
on some little pleasure in life. Sixty
five cents per bushel is the price now
quoted for this great staple of life,
which will add about 90 cents more
to every barrel of flour. 1t is not
likely TO go down again, as the Eng
ISL market is short, and the average
this year in the United States is
about 20 per cent. less than last
year. Corn has advanced in SYM
pathy with wheat, but not in the
same proportion. 1t now readily
brings so cents per bushel, and the
Turner is lucky in not selling at 40
c;nts, provided the winter and the
rats left him a whole salvage.

VERY CoMAIENDABLE-Governor
MacCorkle's refusal to allow Yir-
ginia troops to cross the Virginia
line to break up miners meetings in
this State, .commends itself to every
friend of free speech. The miners of
the Flat Top region and everywhere
else, whether they be strikers or not,
have right to hold orderly meet
ings, and it is surprising that Gov
ernor O'Ferrall should have ever
seriously thought of interfering with
such plain constitutional privilege.
