After beating all the bushes in the
5 ate for candidate for Governor,
the Louisville Post is coming around
to the common sense view of the
situation 1t has evidently been
reading this little back woods sheet.
After referring to the charges made
by Bradley against the Democracy
of the State, and recounting the fact
that Mr.. Clay is falling in with the
Bradley idea TO beat Hardin, the
Post cones TO this conclusion:
we have one objection to Hardin,
and that is his silver hnaticism, but II
the Republicans are going TO conduct
their campaign on the lines indicated by
Clay-and we think they are-Clay's
nomination would be a surrender in adj
vance and IIardn's. to use the phrase
4 the hour, is the logic OF the situa-
ton"
"Hardin is ready to answer Bradley.
to answer any one In the manner indi-
Gated. He would not allow the party
to be placed on the defensive. lie
would apologize for nothing. lie has
not by ihnuendo or insinuation accused
any Democrat nor cor demned the pol
icy Of the party.
Hardin believes the party can be de-
Tended; can be successfully defended.
lie knows how baselcss are the ISLANDERS
Of the enemy. He has nothing to con-
ceal; nothing to be ashamed of. lie
would enter the campaign confident.
courageous, aggressive.
About a month ago, after hearing
both Clay and Hardin speak, the
Press said
"lf Republicans insist apon making
the Dick Tate matter, and state affairs
generally, the issue in the coming tam-
paigd, the Democrats ought to nominate
Hardin and gladly take up the gauntlet
1.-The Press don't care a straw whcth-
er the name of the next Governor is
Hardin, Clay or Stone. or somebody
else. just so he is a sound Democrat
and all right above the eyes. But " it'll
the opposition crying out mlsmanage-
ment of State affairs, and limiting about
there being "something rotten in Den
mark" and demanding that this he
made the issue, the thing to do, as II
occurs to us, is 10 accept the issue
4 ominate the man who best represents
the issue. and 60 in for what there is
in The issue. Mr.. Hardin was a State
officer during the time some OF these
alleged things occurred; he is an able
nan, he is u straight Democrat, and the
cii cumstances demand that he should
be the nominee"
We are gl'd to see the Post gras
ping the situation in State matters,
and as it grows older we hope it will
continue TO grow in grace and knowl
edge, and finally get such a good ob.
,ervation of national finances as 10 |
ease referring to the good old Dem
)cratic doctrine of "the coinage of
10Th gold and silver without dscri.
against either metal or
harge for mintage" as ''silyer fana-
lcism." 1t these days Of
drifting, drifting apart, love-,
is refreshing to a rural rooster to
nd the staunchest gold bug organ
n the State getting all right on IA
tate issue. or course it was not
eading the Pass that led the Post
D the conclusion it reaches about the
tate campaign. The Posts good
ense brought it around and now let
S hope its supply OF that article is
to last until the paper gets
ack to Democracy on the financial
uestioh.

The commission of such crimes al
that with which Howerton is charged
heaps disgrace upon the fair name OF
our county. The only way to blot
out the stain is to punish its author.
Every good citizen who believes in the
purity of womanhood, and the sanch'
~ of the home should not only be
willing to give the law and its officers
every opportunity to bring Howerton
to a fair trial, but should take posi-
tive steps in assisting the arrest OF
such a man. Those who would shield
him, if there be such, are enemies ia
