DECEIVED. -Councilmau b. f. Rout
tells us he was deceived into voting for
reducing the town boundary. Lawyers
and those interested explained to the
council that the vote OF the body was a
preliminary step to give the people a
chance 10 protest, II they saw fit TO DO
so, that the action of the body was not
hnal, and As he was perfectly willing
that the question should be decided by
those most interested he voted for the
proposition. He is satisfied for the
boundary TO remain as it is and will, at
the next meeting move a reconsider
alton OF the matter, as he can do, hav-
ing voted In the affirmative. No one
who knows Mr.. Rout believes for an
Instant that he was actusted by per-
sonal considerations. He was, as he
says, deceived and intends to set him.

JUDGE BREoKINRIDGE OPENS TIL
CANVASS.

JUDGE BREckINRIDGE OPENS THE
CANVASS.
Without announcement save what we
could give by the word OF mouth. Judge
X. j. Breckenridge opened his canvass
for the State ticket here yesterday
His son, Morrison Breckenridge, tele-
phoned us Friday morning that he
would speak here, but unfortunately
the message came after we went TO
press. He started by saying that as
Mr.. Walton, OF the INTERIOR JOUR
NAL, had first put the bee in his bon
net TO run for attorney general and the
people Of Lincoln had so heartily en-
dorsed his candidacy, he wanted TO
come here first and return his thanks
to him and them. Then he paid a
grand tribute To the head of the ticket.
He had known Senator Goebel for
years and had found him to be the soul
of honor and honesty and the peer of
any man in the State AS a lawyer and
as a man. How well he stands at home
shown In the fact that his people
have three times in succession elected
him State Senator and also made him
their representative In the constitu-
tional convention. How q man stands
at home is the way to Judge of him aud
Senator Goebel has shown how high his
people hold him In their estimation. In
regard 10 the trickery and other means
resorted to In the convention, the re-
ports are exaggerated. There was no
more than is customary 10 such conven-
tions. He did little trading himself,
by getting the other fellows 10 vote for
him on the promise OF helping their
friends. which he did. He endorsed the
platform and stated that there was no
reason for the hue and cry against the
Goebel bill. But, even II IL were as
indefensible as its enemies say, the way
TO get rid OF II is not by voting for the
republicans, who never repealed a
mean law in their history.
He also endorsed the other bills,
which he thought should and would be
passed by the next Legislature with
some improvements, reatiirmed his al
legiance 10 the Chicago platform, de
nounced the war as present prosecuted
in the Philippines, deplored militarism
both In kentucky and National affairs
and closed with an eloquent appeal to
democrats 10 stand by their colors and
vote the ticket from top TO bottom. The
Judge Is fue speaker, man OF force
and intellect aud will make hundreds OF
votes for the party everywhere his
silver voice " heard.

WITH re ference to the reduction of
the town boundary, City Attorney Var
non, who says he has taken no hand in
the matter, states that the loss OF taxes
by IL will be, according to his calcula-
tion, but S2S7 80 and not $500 or 5000, as
given us by an official. This is at the
low assessment that has been agreed
on for farming lands, $50 an acre being
the highest, and does not take into con-
sideration the fact that the taxes of the
excluded men will be materially in
creased by the decision of the supreme
court that the holder must pay on the
stock in National banks that he owns
aud not the banks themselves. Nearly
all the men are rich and own large
amounts OF such stock, which they
will save from town tax II the action of
the council is permitted TO stand. The
statement is made that by reducing the
boundary the town will save the keep
in repair of 2t miles of turnpikes and
five bridges, besides making the Wa
ter Works Co. lose the pay Of two plugs
or 800 year, but under the increased
assessment, the town can keep the pixies
and bridges in repair and contract with
the Water Works too and have money
for other expenses. We have no es-
peeial interest in the matter, but we
regard the curtailment of the towns
limits as entirely unnecessary for the
good of the town aud unfortunate that
il should be made upon the heels OF
the National census. Besides II fair
ness alone is the object, straight lines
should be run and not zig gag TO keep
certain people from paying taxes.
