have just as much right TO impugn

Hardin aud Bradley have beca
putting the questions straight az
each other. Hardin has answered
every question, but there are four
very pointed questions which
Bradley has not yet attempted to
answer. They all bear upon the
equality ofthe races and were asked
for the purpose Of making Mr..
Bradley say whether or not he Ia
vors mixed schools, admission OF
negroes to every place where the
whites are allowed, &c. This puts
him between the devil and the deep
blue sea. His party generally Ia
vors these things but there are so
many other people who don't favor
them that he is in the midst Of a
bad fix, lie is damned If he does,
and damned if he doesn't. The ne
groes do about one-half of the Re
publican voting in Kentucky and
they are not at all pleased with the
way bradley answered a question
touching them in Louisville. But
then you remember Bradley was a
Democrat up to 1870, and that his
change OF front was not caused by
a change Of heart, but By the over

that exist in Kentucky have led

Courier-Journal is now covering
this field perfectly, and it is pub

prejudice. A close reader Of the
