PREVENTIVE MEASURE.
Has Been No Trouble, Although
Threats Were Nude md Sheriff
Wished to lie Fully Prepared.

Orange, Texas. August 1S.-Everythinl
since last Saturday night, but on account
of numerous threats and anonymous letters
sent out and the unrest of the colored pop
ulation, together with the inability of the
limited police force to cover the field fully
enough to head off any demonstrations, i,
was thought best to wire the governor for
assistance. In response he ordered the
captain of the Houston cavalry to report
with twenty men to Sheriff Eastin at
Orange for the purpose OF assisting in
keeping the peace. There has been no riot,
but trouble was anticipated. which 1t is
hoped TO prevent with the increased force

white men through an employment bureau

THE KENTUCKY CAMPAIGN.
interesting "Reminiscences of For
mcr Contests in Tint Stnte.

Mr.. julius Polk OF the Thirty third in
fantry, a member of the Houston recruit
ing detail under Lieutenant Coffey, is pay
ing considerable attention to the present
campaign in Kentucky, In which John
Young Brown and VIM. Goebel are the
central figures. MIR. Polk lived for num-
Der of years in the Blue Grass State and
is personally acquainted with many of
the men who are taking part In the pres
ent struggle.
In conversation with a representative
of The Post yesterday Mr.. Polk revived a
number of interesting "reminiscences OF
former political fights in Kentucky.
The present campaign" he said, brings
to my mind the memorable race in the
Danville State senatorial district between
Hon. r. j. Breckenridge, the present nom
inee for attorney general on the Goebel
ticket, and A. G.. Talbot In the early 7Os
the entire State was in the throes of an
intense party feeling, the paramount is
sue being founded on the rights of negroes
to testify in the courts. Hon. Henry Wat
terson, editor of the Louisville Courier
Journal, advocated the right of the negroes
to testify, and so intense was the feeling
of the democrats of the State that as a
result of the stand taken by the Courier
Jul udi tudI paper was pTdCllCdlly OslId-
cised, even to the extent of losing fully
third of its circulation
During this campaign r. j Brecken-
ridge of Danville was nominated by the
democrats of that State senatorial dis
trlct for State senator. few weeks af-
ter the nomination Ii was rumored that
he favored negro testimony and as a result
the leading democrats of the State pub
lished card in the newspapers calling on
him to define his position.
He admitted being in favor of negroes
testifying in the courts and what amounted
practically to revolution ensued. The
democrats Immediately called another con-
vention, b tied the nomination OF Brock
enridge and nominated Hon. Albert G.
Talbot. also of Danville The district was
always safely democratic by majority of
1000, but so intense was the feeling at that
time that Breckenridge was overwhelming
ly defeated by the boiling opposition
non. John Young Brown. the nominee
for governor by the dlsgruntled element
OF the democracy, | regard as the peer of
any man in the State. He being from the
purchase the southwestern portion of the
State, which is a democratic Stronghold
predict for him a large vote. His ad-
mlnstration during his former term as
governor l regard as being not excelled
by any of his predecessors"
