CLAYTON.

Clayton, Oct. 10.-(Special Correspond ence.)-There is probably more interest manifested in the coming election in Bar pour county than in any other county in Ehe state, both as towards the presiden- tial and congressional candidates Bar bour is the home county of Clayton, Co., mer and Murpry, three of the four con gressional candidates in the Third dis trict, and is the birthplace, the original starting point, of the bolting faction of the democratic party of the state, which bolt was occasioned by patriotic feeling that imbued the breast of few deposed officers and executive committeeman who thought they should be allowed to control 1.-the people, but who were sat down on in no uncertain manner. Hence the bolt Clayton, the democratic nominee will sweep the county with the same majority that was given Captain Johnston in Au- gust This is a free silver county and cannot be turned, even with the gold of the bolters, which is being dispensed with liberal hand. Senator Pugh will speak at Louisville on Saturday next, and will have large crowd. Captain Johnston, the idol of the people of this section, is booked for speech in Clayton at an ear ly day, and will do much good to the cause of democracy as he has an inn mense influence with the people in this section.
 No complaint can be made in Barbour as to unfair elections. and no cry of fraud can be raised by the bolters and populists when the usual magnificent ma jority will have been rolled up in No vember. The officers, in appointing the managers of election, has appointed democrat, a bolter and a populite at each box, which appointments have given per feet satisfaction to all sides and Is pro nounced to be the best set of election man. agers appointed in years.
 Considera ble comment is being made Tn this county over the attitude of Governor Oates in the appointments for Barnour he is now making He seems to be con- siderably disgruntled over the action or Barbour county in instructing her repre- sentatives for Senator Pugh, instead Of for himself and is taking his vengeance out on the democratic party by ignoring them in every appointment. Each ap- pointment made to office in this county since the April primaries he has made from the ranks of the boilers. several prominent free silver democrats contem- plated applying for positions on the board of revenue of this county and proml- nent citizen of the county wrote the gov ernor in their behalf, but to no erect He replied that he would not appoint any man to office who was opposed to nm Tn the April primaries, and proceeded to al once appoint a full board composed or the ring leaders of the bolters or the county and he now seems to be trying ta provide every bolter with notary pup lie and ex-officio justice Of the peace or flee. His position, to say the least Of II, is very strange for a man who claims 10 be democrat. Oates stock is below par in this county.
