The Rising Sun Ind. Recorder
says "politics is strange thing,
even in Kentucky. The Courier
Journal, and Evening Times, at
Louisville, were ostracised and read
out Of the party because they would
not advocate i6 to free silver in
the last presidential campaign, and
the Evening Post was the party
organ. Later the party leaders SUBJ
seribed money and started the Dis
patch, with the intention Of everlast-
ingly squelchlng the Courier-Journal
and the Times. But what do we see
now? Why, the Courier-Journal and
the Times support the present State
ticket, while the Dispatch and Post
are Saving wool" We are glad
to see the Courier Journal and Times
supporting the ticket and the plat
form, unanimously adopted. which
re-aifirms the Chicago platform and
endorses Mr.. Bryan for the presi-
dency.

The New Orleans States says
Judging from present indications,
there will be more foreign born vot-
ers who will cast their ballots at the
coming election than ever before in
the history of the Crescent City poll
tics. They will be, of course, prin-
cipally Italians, though a most inter-
esting mixture of nationalities will
assist in creating the political desti-
MES of the many and various seekers
after public office and ward control. "
