Dlstrict-Attorney Fellows has no intention Of
pressing to trial any Of the old indictments that
have recently turned up for he says that Grand
Juries nowadays are grinding ont more indict
ments than he can possibly take care Of Con-
sequently, the men whose names appear In the
old documents are as safe as II no indictments
had ever been found. In addition TO the lndlct
ments 1t was learned yesterday that more
than 1000 complaints had been discovered which
had never been laid before any Grand Jury
These, Of course. are worthless, but the indlct
ments are as valid as on the day they We're
drawn. II should be borne In mind that Colonel
Fellows's present inability TO do anything with
them is not based on the fact thst the last Legis
lature provided for two additional Assistant
Distrlct-Attorneys In this county.
New-York tribune., 1895-09-19

The opposition In his own party to the election
Of General Hardin, the Democratic candidate for
Governor In Kentucky, has been greatly strength
ened by the address put forth yesterday by ex-
Governor Buckner. Buckner states the reasons
why the Democracy should oppose Hardin with
cogency and force, and his address carries the
greater weight because the former relations be
tween the two men were most friendly. When
Buckner was Governor Hardin was the Attor-
neyGeneral Of the State and Hardln's nomina-
ton this year is understood to be due to Buck
ner's refusal TO be a candidate. General Buck
ner says In the clearest way that the head Of the
Democratic ticket Is at war with the financial
principles Of his party; and he also lays down
the law to Senator Blackburn in good set terms.
The Americas Cup Committee are right in ex-
pressing deep regret and chagrin that friendly
contest In noble sport between two great na-
tions should have degenerated into war Of
