To the Democrats Of the Tenth
Congressional District:

When / announced my candi-
dacy for Congress some time ago,
had every expectation that in spite
Of general condition of ill-health
to which i am not accustomed,
would soon be able to see you in
your respective counties, and give
you my reasons why | sought the
nomination at your hands at this
time.
Since that announcement, how
ever, my illness has suddenly as
sumed a more serious form-so SER
ious, indeed, that / am not only
physically incapacitated from max
ing a canvass of the district, but my
physician tells me that if persisted
in it can only be at the risk of
dangerous and probably fatal results
to my life in the end. Hence,
nothing is left me but reluctantly
to announce, my withdrawal from
the contest.
To my many friends throughout
the district who have given me such
cheering assurances of their friend
ship and support, / desire to return,
to one and to all, my profound and
grateful thanks, and to express to
them the hope that after a short
season of rest and recuperation /
may be able to see and more fully
thank them in person for the cor
dial consideration which they have
always SO generously accorded me.

Charged With Horse Stealing

For some time past horse owners of
this and several surrounding counties
have been suffering at the hands of
horse thieves. Although officers have
been on the trail of these offenders
they have not been able to secure
evidence sufficient TO warrant an ar
rest till now. For several days of
ticials have been trying to arrest two
Young men Ed and Will Henry, sons
of Pat Henry, well-to-do and re-
spectacle farmer of Nicholas county.
On Sunday Will Henry was arrested
near Eiizaville in Fleming county and
placed in Jail at Carlisle. The Young
men are respectfully connected and
their conduct is source of great grief
to those connected with them by
blood. Ed Henry has not been ar
rested at this writing.

who is candidate for County Judge

next man who occupies the wool sack
in the County Judges Office of Clark
will be named Evans.

AsTUPENDoUs COMBINE.
The Great Adam Forepaugh and
Sells Brothers Enormous
Shows United.

"Mr. j. A. Bailey, sole owner of the
Adam Forepaugh Shows has just
arranged with Messrs. EpRraim,
Lewis, and Peter Sells, by which the
show owned by the latter and known
as Sells Brothers Enormous Railroad
Shows is consolidated with the Fore
paugh Show, thus making the new
show one of the largest and most
powerful in the world. The combina-
ton thus effected will have great in
fluence upon every in the
country, except the Barnum 81 Bailey
Greatest Show on Earth owned sole
ly by j. A. Bailey. and the Buffalo Bill
Wild West Show in which Mr.. Bailey
has a joint interest. Under the new
arrangement all the cages, cars, horses
and the menageries, material and par
apernalia of the Forepaugh Show
will now be added to the already big
show of the Sells Brothers. I"
The result must be a most extraor-
binary and sensational success from
every standpoint, and such il will
doubtless prove in Mt. Sterling on
Thursday, April 30, when the new
combination of Americas greatest
shows. makes its first appearance in
this vicinity. Each has always at
tracted big patronage. and the pull of
the two united should draw tremend-
ously from both far and near.

If the Democrats expect to get a
single slice of the good things this fall
there must be Topping together of
the divided wings. There are too
amany discordant elements in the party
chat seem bent upon spreading ami
snosities still more. We cannot hope
for success unless we can bring our
eelves TO better state of thinking
along these lines. Democrats must lay
aside personal prediudice and personal
spite and be willing to accept the man

nzctv had to select from to: the posi-
zion 10 be filed 1t Is quite true that
there ariss times when county, dis.
trict, and state lines should be forgot
ten and in order 10 select the best man
we should go away from home to find
ilim. At the same time we should be
very sure we are not. being blinded by
saere personal likes and dislikes in
this matter. No Democrat is to be
blamed for tSgoniziug 80 home man"
if lac has honestly weighed his fitness
for the position and found him want
ing. But in doing this we should be
very sure our reason for refusing sup
port TO such a man is one we can pre-
seut at the bar of our own self-respect
aud find an acquittal from conscience
IL we are. going to elect this fall it will
take united party TO 90 to the polls.
TIE lesson we had last fall should
have taught us some things. Unless
we get together a nomination is not
only costly but an empty honor.

Hon. 10 M. Kendall, member of
Congress, weekly reader of the
ADVOCATE says of us: 81 commend
your conservative course on the polit-
5cai issue. 1t is Democracy. There
are both gold and silver cranks."
We repeat what we have before said,
we are for our party and will stand by
aud work with the majority. The
party is greater than the man and SO
long as we believe the principles of
the Democratic party are for the in
terosts of the people we will be found
in line not as nominal Democrats but
as workers. The party must work in
harmony or Republicans will gain
the National Administration and the
same extravaganza of former years
will be r7sorted TO and this govern
meut will be made to suffer more than
NOW. That the Republican party is
responsible for the financial oppres-
sion no intelligent man be he Demo-
Graf, Republican or Independent can
deny and maintain. The heavy ex-
penditures and class legislature of to
day have grown ont of the republican
administration and the remedy for
these evils must come from the Demo-
cratic party.

silver bullion has never fluctua-

I assert that Mexico in the pre-

years ago we had eighty miles of
