Notes and Political Gossip.
SPECIAL, LETTER. |

SIEOlAls
The prison guards and officials APP
peared last week in their new uniforms,
and as they are all good-looking men,
they make quite fine appearance in
their new, neat-itting gray uniforms.
The Republican officials never tire of
"guying" their lucky Democratic friends
and claim that the reason gray was
adopted is because two of the commits
sioners and the warden and deputy war
den are ex-Confederate soldiers.
Percy Haley of this city, one of the
best-known young Democratic politicians
in the State, has formally announced
himself as a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Representative from
Franklin county in the lower branch of
the next Legislature. Mr.. Haley is the
second candidate to enter the race, South
Trimble. who represented the county at
the last session, having announced for
reelection some time ago. The chief
purpose of people of Franklin county in
selecting a representative to serve in the
next House is to elect man who can Sc
cure an appropriation for State Capitol
buildings. This Mr. Haley claims he can
do with the assistance of some of the
leading Democrats of the State, whose
influence he can bring to bear to secure
such an appropriation.
Division No. |, A. o. H., will give its
initial hop next Monday evening, Octo-
Der 81 All Hallowe EN- }, at their new hall
in the Kleber building, South Side.

The Democratic County Committee
met in this city last week and fixed the
Democratic primary for December 2S,
when Representative will be nominated.
The Republicans concede this is victory
for the Hon. South Trimble, who is a
candidate for reelection, but the know
ing ones say that the aforesaid gentleman
will not be returned to the Kentucky
House of Representatives. There are
several unofficially announced candidates.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather last Tuesday evening, quite a
large crowd attended the regular meeting
of the A. o. H., which proved to be one
of the most interesting in the history of
the division. Several important ques-
tons came up for consideration and were
ably debated. Several entertainments
will be given in the near future-a hop
next Monday, smoker the week follow
ing and book reception the following
week. Several dances will be given after
advent A euchre will probably be
given on the evening of Thanksgiving.
Taken all in all, quite nice time socially
is in store for the members of Division
