IN the country, as he yet lacks
some months of being 80 wears

for one brief interval. with the
Burlington interests, and for
the greater part Of the time
with the lines in Missouri.
The one interval WAS in 1851.

w. p. WALTON.

A WILD EYED story comes from
Frankfort that certain republicans, re-
lying on Old Phil Thompson's alleged
discovery that the Coebel Election law
was not regularly passed, will file OBJ
lection in the appellate court TO the
sitting of Judge Hobson, who was
elected under the law, that Gov.
Bradley will appoint republican in
his stead, the election law will come
before the court, it will be wiped out
and all in time for the election to be
held under the old law. Lawyers say
there is nothing in the world In
Thompson's contention and II there
was the passage of the bill by both
bodies over the governors veto RENEE
died any defect. The whole thing is
cold bluff for campaign purposes only,
and is hardly worth the space to tell
about it, except to show how the re-
publicans are catching at worse than
straws in the hope of getting rid of
law that will prevent them hereafter
from stealing elections.

SEVERAL republicans have already
applied for Minister Hunters place SO
certain are they that he will be fired on
charges of conduct unbecoming his po-
sition and as a gentleman. Speaking
of Old Godfrey, the Louisville Free
Press, edited by Assistant Adiutant
General Forester, says: This is the
same sneak who has disgraced Ken
lucky for four years. He got 5000
from the lottery and then claimed the
Senatorship on the ground that he had
contributed this amount TO the cam
paign fund in 1895. He is the duck who
can not establish the fact of his birth
at any particular place: who went into
the army as Whitesides G. Hunter and
ran for Senator as William Godfrey
Hunter, and for whose treachery and
duplicity in Kentucky politics, McKin-
ley rewarded him with the mission to
Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala and
Salvador. Now let Mckinley assume
for the scandal that has
come from this infamous appointment

MIR. AUGUST BELMONT, chairman OF
the board Of directors OF the l.. a N,
has published a letter TO Senator Goe-
bel attacking mis- record as a free silver
man. He claims to have seen letters
from him TO John G.. Carlisle In 1890
showing that he was cooperating with
him to carry Kenton county for sound
money. Granting that this Is true and
that Carlisle's statement that Mr.. Goe.
bel sought a conference with him, with
the principal purpose to secure a sound
money delegation from Kenton for the
State convention of 1896, Is also true. IL
cut no figure in the campaign. Mr.
Goebel stands squarely on the Chicago
platform and has done so ever since its
adoption and that OF itself Is proof suf-
fcient that be IL a true democrat No
less parsonage than the great self
appointed committee on credentials,
the onliest, Z. Z. Johnston, once said,
we believe, that submission to the par
tvs DEGREES, made by the regularly
authorities, was the highest
evidence of loyalty. We are that kind
Df democrat ourselves and have little
patience with those who try to set up
little party of their own every time
things do not 20 their way.

THEY are having a monkey and a
parrot time in Maryland. Gov.
Lowndes demanded that Senator We'll
lington be deposed as chairman of the
republican State Central Committee,
saying that unless he was called down
he would throw up his nomination for
governor. The Senator has published
letter in response rendering his res
ignation and taking occasion to charge
that the governor is possessed OF neith-
er frankness nor truth and predicting
his defeat. With these two republican
leaders and their followings in battle
array against each other, a democratic
victory ought to be an easy certainty.

THE Courier Journal demonstrated
again Sunday that In the race for SUI
premacy In all the modern mechani-
cal appliances for getting out an up to-
date paper, it is as far in the lead as 1t
is in everything else that goes to make
a newspaper. We have always conten-
ded that is is the best paper In the
United States and have the satisfaction
OF knowing that the few who disagreed
with the proposition, are fast coming
to accept it. Sundays supplement of
l6 illustrated pages showing the inner
and outer consciousness of the remodel
ed building, printed on toned paper,
from pictures and type made in the
office, was beyond anything yet at
tempted in the newspaper line and
shows what brains and money can do.
The great head OF the establishment,
Mr.. W. N. Haldeman, with the
editor, Mr.. Henry Waiter

and assistants, forms a combination
that compels the success that the pa

THE Stanford Colored Fair, President
Anderson Carr tells us, came out at the
big end OF the horn. The weather was
fine, many of the rings were hotly con-
tested and the crowd Saturday, espe-
cially, was very large. Good order
prevailed and nothing occurred TO mar
the occasion, except that pickpockets
got sl2 from Craig Jackman, who ran a
booth. James, OF Harrodsburg, with
Red Leaf, took the roadster blue two
days, while Carroll Bailey's gray mare
got the red. The A. C. Cambry's Old
