Cruelty to Dumb Animals.

1t does seem that somebody ought to
raise voice iu behalf of our dumb ami
mails. Cruelties that are shame. dis
grace and sin against God, are being prac-
ticed every day in our midst Tho writer
saw horse fall in the harness, the other
day, for no other reason than that he was
so old aud poor and weak that bis strength
was gone. And yet that horse was COM
PEELED to his feet, put again In the harness,
aud Is every day lashsd and forced, clear
beyond his strength, into work.
A Mexican passed along the street. tc-
day with kid having all four feet tied
closely together and cruelty suspended up
side down on his arm. This poor, helpless
animal had to suffer rude cruelty, perhaps,
for hours.
These are only two examples OF what
may be seen of a similar character, almost
any day. 1t ought to be frowned upon
and prevented. Meats killed after such
cruelty, are declared to be unhealthy and
unsafe. To treat such a noble animal as
horse, as above indicated, is surely the
abandonment of mercy. 1t would be
good thing to have organized In Las We

to animals as many other towns and cities

PRECINCT CONVENTIONS sATUR-
DAY,


The Democrats of the Second dis
trict should bear in mind thai they
are called upon to meet at their re-
spective voting precincts next Satur-
day to express their choice of a can
didate for congress.
There has been up to the present
time the very least interest in the con-
test for the Democratic nomination,
it being considered that Dr., Clardy
was fairly entitled to an Endorsement
at the hands of CT nstituency he had
so faithfully served. Where there
there was so little evidence of oppo-
sition it was natural that there should
be slight interest However, in the
last few days it has been whispered
about that one or two well-kuown
election workers were slipping around
to the country precincts Of Daviess
county, trying to work up still-hunt
crowds for Mr. Tanner, DR.. Clardy's
opponent, and it is said the same
thing is going on in other counties.
This is arousing DR.. Clardy's friends
to take more interest in the precinct
meetings of Saturday.
The Messenger since his early
youth has fel: the warmest interest
in Mr.. Tanner, but it has considered
his present candidacy ill-timed, if it
meant more than to acquaint himself
with the Democratic voters of the
district.
This is year of great consequences
to the Democratic party. We must
redeem Kentucky. We must redeem
the Second district. 1t is no time
for repudiating our most faithful
public servants. 1t is no time for
turning down tried and true leaders
and putting up new ones. 1t is no
time for strife or unpleasantness of
any kind within the party lines.
DR.. Clardy has peculiarly strong
hold upon the people of the Second
district. His record in congress and
out of congress as Democrat and as
faithful friend of the money of the
people, is without flaw. There is
no point from which an attack can be
consistently or conscientiously made
upon it.
He Is serving his first term in con-
gress and he deserves a unanimous
endorsement at the hands of his party,
and it is no reflection upon the De-
mocracy or personal worth of Mr..
Tanner to accord this to him.-Mes-
senger

THE CONGRESSIONAL RAGE

Precinct conventions will be held
at 2 o'clock to morrow at all of the
voting places in the eight counties Of
the Second district to elect delegates
to county conventions next Wednes-
day The county conventions will in
turn send delegates to the district
convention at jacksonville on August
TO- There are two candidates for the
nomination-Dr Jno. u. Clardy, the
present congressman and Mr. l.. 2.
Tanner, young lawyer of Mclean
county. Mr.. Tanner has confined his
canvass to speeeh.making tour of
the upper counties of the district, but
importance has been given to his can
didacy recently by the active assis-
lance of some gentlemen of promi.
hence in Greensboro, who have been
writing letters in his behalf and some
attempts have been made to work up
still hunt opposition to DR.. Clardy.
The plan was to take advantage OF
the general apathy and lack of inter
est in the contest everywhere re.
garded as one sided and by rushing
in few men at each precinct capture
the instructions for Tanner.
This plan of campaign was exposed
some days ago and will fail in the
conventions tomorrow. DR.. Clardy's
friends over the district are urged to
take no chances in the matter, but
turn cut eTea ia this county aud see
that well attended conventions are
held aud that instructions are given
for Clardv. There is every assurance
that this will be done and that every
county in the district, excepting Me-
Lean, will give him the bulk of its
vote under the pro rata arrangement.
In the district convention the coun-
ties will have the following strength:
Christian II, Daviess 13, Hancock 3,
Henderson Z, Hopkins 10, Mclean 3,
Union 9, Webster 5. This shows a
total of 81 and any fraction over 81
will nominate The vote in the dis
trict convention will be divided ac-
cording to the strength each candi-
date develops in the county conven-
tons.
