POSITION OF DAWSON IN HIS CONTEST
Mr. GlLBERT'S cOVvIcTlNG STATE
MENT.
TJessamine Journal, Feb. 3. |


The Journal last week published a
brief synopsis of Mr.. Gilbert's answer
to Congressman DavisOn's notice of
contest of his vote in the Fifty-six Con-
gress. Limited space forbade us doing
the subject justice at the time, and in
order that our readers may have the
opportunity of reading Mr.. Giibert's
convincing statement, we publish
the full text of his answer. After de-
nying the affirmative allegations con-
tanned in Davison's notice. he con-
tinues:
Further answering herein, allege
that it would not be an honest count,
to count any votes that were not cast
either for you or for me. That this
election must be determined as all other
elections have always been. determined
by the votes that are actually cast, and
not by those who failed or refused to
vote. 1t is quite true thatyou received
very small vote in 1898 as compared
with the vote in 1896. For in 1896 YOU
received in Anderson county 1,151
votes, whereas in 1898 you received in
that county only So In Boyle coun-
~ in 1896 you received sos votes, but
you only received ,269 votes in 1898
In Garrard county 1896 you received
,6Ol votes. whereas in 1888 you only
received 1920 votes. In Jessamins
county, 1896. You received ,342 votes
but in 1898 you only received $50
votes. In Madison county in 1896 you
received 1904 votes, but in 1898 you

Woman Should Know it,

Many woman suffer untold agony and
misery because the nature of their dis
ease is not correctly understood. They
have been led to believe that womb
trouble or female weakness of some
sort is responsible for the many ills
that beset womankind.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache,
puffy or dark circles under the eyes,
rheumatism, a dragging pain or dull ache
in the back, weakness or bearing-down
sensation, prOfuse or scanty supply of
urine with strong odor, frequent desire
to pass it with scalding or burning sem
sation, sediment in it after standing in
bottle or common glass for twenty-four
hours, are signs of kidney and bladder
trouble
The above symptoms are often attri
buted by the patient herself or by her
physician to female weakness or womb
trouble. Hence, so many fail to obtain
relief, because they are treating, not the
disease itself, but reflection of the pri-
mary cause, which is kidney trouble.
In fact, women as well as men are
made miserable with kidney and blad-
der trouble and both need the same
remedy.
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is the
great discovery of the eminent kidney
and bladder specialist, and is easy to
get at any drug store for fifty cents OF
one dollar.
To prove its wonderful merits you
may have a sample bottle and hook tel
ling all about it, both sent absolutely
free by mail. Kindly mention The
Richmond CLIMAX and send your adj
dress to DIR. Kilmer & Co. Binghamton,

For the CLIMAX.
WE CAN ALWAYS LIVE WELL ON THE
FARM.

To q shoemaker tramping by one day,
Said /, neighbor, pray, what's the news
Pm starving, said he, with a sorrowful sigh
I've no work and can't feed upon shoes.
Next came mason crawling along,
A bunch of mere skin and bones:
Alas, said 1, friend, how happened it so,
Why, because can't fatten on stones.
Next tramped a weary carpenter by,
And much pinched were his lantern jaws,
When he stopped to explain the plight he wa.
in
Twas because he couldn't eat saws.
Then tramped a blacksmith, smutty and
grim,
asked il his courage e'er fails,
And why he, giant, had gone on the road
He replied, man can't digest nails.
turned to my wife: See here, my dear,
We have both been shielded from harm,
Though times may be hard, and prices low,
We can always live well on the farm.
There is plenty of butter, of milk, and o.
cream,
Now crowding the dairy shelf,
Eggs by the bushel, and hens by the score,
Which gives us the blessing of health.
Our granary bins are bursting fun
With their corn, their rye, and their wheat
While pork from the sty, and veal from the
barn
Are loading our table with meat.
Luscious berries from the garden and field
Are always at our command,
Bushels of apples, pears and grapes
Fairly burden the fruitful lard.
Potatoes, cabbage, carrots, beets,
Are high piled in our cellars and barns,
And squashes and turnips, onions and hay,
Are proclaiming the thrift of the farm.
The waste of the wood lots we gather,
In our sheds a bountiful store,
Then free-armed against hunger and cold,
The fierce wolf never bowls at our door.
When the collector calls for his tax,
Or the grocer comes for his pay,
We take to the market our surplus
or vegetables, meat or hay.
Then to men of all callings who fail
This nugget of solid truth learn:
That no matter how hard be the times,
No one ever starved on the farm.

ties, and leave such county or counties
still without a representation. In con-
clusion, state that Congress appor-
tons the number Of Representatives
among the States in proportion to the
inhabitants thereof. And the very Act
of Congress in the last apportionment
made it necessary for other districts
in other States to have smaller popu-
lation than is contained IN the Eighth
district of Kentucky. And this act of
apportiOnment by Congress made it
necessary for some Congressional dis
tricts in other States to have a larger
population than lis contained in the
Eleventh district of Kentucky. And
this Act of apportionment by Congress
made it necessary for other States to
have smaller population than is con-
tanned in the Eighth district of Ken
lucky. Indeed. aver there are many
Congressional districts in different
States with a larger territory and a
much larger population than are found
in the Eleventh district of Kentucky !;
and that there are many other Con-
gressional districts in those same
States having much smaller popula-
ton and much smaller territory than
are found in the Eighth district OF
Kentucky. l maintain that all Con-
gressional districts in all the States
are, and have always been, the crea-
lures of the State Legislature and that
this is the only tribunal. known TO the
Constitution and laws which has the
authority to make or alter the bounda-
mes of Congressional districts l in
sist that the greater power conferred
upon the Legislature to establish Con-
gressiOnal districts carries with it the
lesser power to altar the boundaries of
such districts. And it is the duty of
the Legislatures of all the States un-
der Section of Article / Of the Con-
stitution of tire United States to change
the boundaries of such districts when
ever in the judgment OF the Legisla-
ture such change should be made. /
insist and avar that the Legislature OF
most, if not all, of the States have re-
peatedly exercised this power and have
repeatedly changed the boundaries of
Congressional districts, and such Acts
have always been regarded as conclu-
sive upon Congress. aver that no pre-
cedent in the history of this govern
ment can be found for such a contest
as this, and that no member of Con.
gress otherwise confessedly fairly elect.
ed has ever been deprived of his seat
on account of change made by the
Legislature of the State in the bounda
ry OF the district. And that altogeth
er your alleged contest is utterly frivo
lous and without merit.
