FOR CONGRESS.
HON. HID. ALLEN, OF MoRCANFlELD,
AN AVoWED CANDIDATE,
No Man in the District Better Qualified TO
Protect the Peoples Interest Than
Unions Son.
(Uniontown Telegram

Hon. II. d. Allen, of Morganfeld,
is an avowed candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for Congress in
this district. After a serious con
temptation of the matter MIR. Allen
has at last decided to enter the field
much to the delight Of bis many
friends, not alone in his home county,
but all over the entire Second dis
trict 1t is too early yet to begin the
fight, but when the proper time ar
rives Union county's candidate will
enter into an energetic canvass of the
district and continue it to a success
full end with that same vim and deter
mined energy which has ever charac-
terzed his past actions. All who
know him will unhesitatingly join us
in our avowal that a search through
out the entire Second district could
not result in the discovery of more
thorough gentleman, able scholar or
man better qualified to fill the posi-
ton to which he aspires than H. d.
Allen. For years he bas stood at the
head of the Union county bar, and as
an orator his ability is unquestiona-
BILE as his numerous oratorical fights
for Democracy in the past have clear
ly shown. No one can deny that
Union county should this time fall
the Congressional Office and with this
acknowledged fact.in view, and with
such competent man to trust the
people'sinterest, it is safe to proph-
esy that Mr.. Aliens candidacy will
terminate in naught but success.

Mr.. H. II. Bryant. of Gracey, about

negro named Joe Chappell and chas-
tised him with a stick.
The negro had him arrested and
tried in the county court here and a
fine of $3.50 was assessed against Mr..
Bryant.
On Tuesday Mr.. Bryant was again
arraigned in the same court to an
swer suit for damages. Chappell
claimed to have s1re on his hand as
the result of his whipping. Mr.. Bry.
ant introduced several witnesses to
prove that the old man hurt his hand
by fall from hayloft.
The jury of four white men and
two negroes fined Mr.. Bryant 5000.

HAVING TROUBLE.
That Mixed Ticket May Fall Through Since
the Kentuckian's Exposure.


the Kentuckian's Exposure.
The Republicans and Palmerites
are having trouble in getting up their
"Citizens Fusion Ticket" as it is to
be called. On Tuesday night they
held another meeting and nominated
men in the Second and Fourth
Wards.
The young man selected for the
Fourth Ward Indignantly refused to
run on a mixed ticket. He even re-
quested the KENTUcKIAN not to men
ton his name in connection with the
matter. 1t is also known that Mr..
John Moayon, who has heretofore ex
pressed willingness to run in the
Second, now declines to have any
thing to do with politics and espe.
cially that kind of politics.
The nominee who it is said was
asked to run in the Seventh Ward,
was questioned by KENTUcKIAN rep
and declined to admit
that he was candidate. He laugh
ingly said it was too early to talk yet.
Ths opinion is growing that he, too,
will pull out of the combine when he
finds out what it is trying to accom-
plish. Nominations were also made
in the First and Third Wards, but if
the men selected have agreed to run,
they have not yet announced the fact.
AS both are in public business, it is
by no means certain they will take
step that will antagonize four-fifths of
the white people of the city.
So far as the public is advised, only
two wards have been definitely fixed.
These are the Fifth and Sixth, where
the present incumbents are anxious
to succeed themselves.
In the meanwhile the colored vot-
ers are doing some talking. Several
of the leaders openly declare that
they must know exactly what offices
they are to get before they elect to
office men who claim to belong to one
party, hold conventions with another
and vote with still another.
