THROWS UP THE SPONGE.
Mr.. WattersOn Petitions For Reinstate
ment in The Democratic Party.
(Courier-Jurual November Ith

(Courier-Jurnal November 4th
The Courier journal has little to
add to what it has already said by
anticipation touching the Democratic
situation in Kentucky brought into
being by the vote Of Tuesday last.
That vote confirms the position of the
convention that nominated Mr.. Shack.
elford for Clerk of the Court of APP
peals and repudiates the position of
the convention which nominated Mr.
Hindman. 1t fixes the relation of the
Democratic organization iu Ken
lucky to the National organization of
the Democratic party, at least through
the next State aud National elections.
1t is 80 decisive in character as 10
leave nothing TO conjecture, aud the
Courier Journal has neither the wish
nor the purpose to challenge it.
The issue as it was made, and has
been fought out, was clear and ex.
Pile No effort was wanting to main.
tain it. Nobody could by any posi-
bilitY be mistaken about It,. We NAV
regret the verdict against us, but we
accept 1t. We shall make no further
effort to direct the party course Of
counsels, Or to share in any of the
responsibilities of party leadership,
having done our best, according to
our conscience aud belief, to divert
our political associates from a policy
and procedure, the end Of which nc
man can now foresee, the results OF
which we very much fear, both as &c
the welfare Of the country and the
party. But we are Democrats, not
Republicans, and, mailing our flag tC
the masthead of Honest Money, Free
Trade aud Home Rule, we shall ID
the character of private soldier in
the ranks contribute whatever we are
able TO the ascertainment and the
yindication of Truth.
For the gentlemen who have by
their victory confirmed their leader
ship, we entertain not the least ill-will.
All the honors belonging TO that lead
ership be theirs; and, let US add. all
the responsibilities, If they continue
TO win victories, they will approve

HUNTED A QUARTER.
A Little Incident Wonderfully Rich in
Human Nature.

The head Of the house was looking
for something. That was evident,
else he would not be moving chairs,
looking in odd corners, and, at odd in
tervals, stopping to feel in all his
pockets with surprised air as well as
deep thoughtfulness. His wife no.
ticed his acts and his abstraction and
said:
"What are you looking for?"
GIVE lost quarter, and can't i'm
agine where it's gone"
Maybe you didn't have the quar-
ter" she said, in a tone calculated to
mollify his disappointment.
"Of course | had it. Do you reckon
l would be SHINING all over the place
and upsetting the furniture if l didn't
know what / was looking for?'
ooh, l only thought you might have
been mistaken"

"Well, it's there, and / want you to

AT breakfast WHEY said in an inno-
cent tone:
"Who came out with you last
night?"
Il came out with Ed. Why?"
Dla you come straight home from

'No, it was cold, and we stopped at
the drug store and got a couple of
nips of whisky"
Whose treat was it?"

ing at. | guess you needn't look for
that quarter"
Then on his way downtown he met
boon companion in the little neigh
borly sitting they had, and, when
asked about his winnings or losings,
he said:
"Oh, | was only out $12. If it
hadn't been for that last round of
Jackers, I'd have come out only dol
lar or two loser, and that's nothing"
All of which goes to show that it is
