POLITICAL POINTERS.


-Hurrsh for us, The democrats car
ried Jacksonville Tuesday,
The House has adopted resolution
fixing May is for final adjournment.
The House passed the bill granting
the widow of Walter q Gresham pen
sion OF 800 month.
Michigan delegates to the republican
National convention will 90 strongly
pledged to support Mckinley.
The California republican conven-
ton declared for free coinage at 10 to !,
and for Mckinley for president.
"A secret meeting of anti Hunter
knlfe-grinders has been called for tonight
at Bowling Green, according to reports at
Frankfort.
The Lexington people have decided
on the Auditorium in Woodland Park as
the place for holding the democratic
State convention.
1t is estimated that the expenditures
authorized and contemplated by Mr..
Reeds House will amount to about
eleven hundred millions OF dollars.
The Mckinley men are said to be
negotiating with friends OF Senator Hsw-
ley for the purpose Of making the ma
tionsl ticket Mckinley and Hswley.
Secretary Carlisle has sent telegram
TO friend at Lexington denying the
report circulated by the free silver peo-
pie OF this State that he voted for Brad
ley for governor.
Speaker Reed, in refusing to recog-
nizs Southern republican member, who
wanted to call up war claim bill, said
it had been decided not to consider any
Southern war claims at this session.
Gen. Hardin divides sound money
men Into office holders, thieves and
fools On the other hand the free silver
ties may be classified into ex-office- hol-
ders, financial failures and mental and
moral degenerates, TO every one OF which
classes the general is supposed to be eligi.
BILE Louisville Times.
The Louisville Post contains this
charming piece OF news: 1t is believed
at Stanford that Hon. George Dawson, OF
that city, polished young gentleman
and a Carlisle democrat, will soon an
nounce for Congress The paper Was
doubtless misled by the fattering notice
we gave the Gray Geldins" who is as
rsntankerous and ringtailed republican
rs ever wore gum shoe.
Mr.. Force took Mr.. Hardin to tack
for his Nihilistic uttersnces at Rich
mond and poured some hot shot into
him, for his evident purpose of wreck
ing the party. Mr.. Force does not
think that the mere fact that Abraham
bought the grave OF his wife with silver,
that the price Of Christ's blood was paid
in silver, that Gen. Hardin has no teeth
filed with gold is good reason why this
country should adopt the free coinage OF
silver.
How Col. John o. Hodges, of the
Lexington Observer, who claims to be q
democrat and Q gentleman can write
such stud ss this, is proof that he has
outlived his usefulness: When Grover
Cleveland dies he ought to be taken to
Palestine and buried in the came grave
with Judas Iscsriot. One monument
will serve to commemorate the virtues
and illustrate the history OF both. Then
hell need not be disturbed by the rivalry
OF the two gentlemen.
An order issued by President Clevs-
land brings nearly $4,000 government
employees under the civil service rules.
The order practically includes all en-
ployes below the rank of those subject
to nomination by the president and con-
firmation by the Senate with only few
exceptions. 1t is considered the most
important order that has been issued |
since the Inauguration of the system. |
The order goes into effect at once, and |
increases the number OF classified posi-.
lions from 90, 1856 to 3d. 35.
