Not single man in charge of any

required to give bond for the faithful
performance of his duties or was there
any penalty of imprisonment to re.

the old law the action of the commits

tenant Governor was final, and under
the new law it Is not, but what mat
tiers that, when the legislature choosing
that committee is strongly one.sidedI
Has not the recent affairs at Frank
fort proven this to be very bad law?
But the report of the contest board for
the minor State offices is FINAL and
CONCLUSIVE. We presume that
no one will deny this, since the elec'
ton. This present board, composed
of Poyntz, Yonts and Fulton, all no.
torious characters, not equaled this
side of the great absence of heaven,
arbitrarily and without cause, stole
and robbed the honest voters of JET
ferson, johnson, Martin and Magoffin
counties Of their ballots and murder
ed civil liberty in the very halls Of
Justice. Under this new law, every
county board in the State was com,
posed of no less than two Goebel
Democrats with unlimited power,
They could remove the precinct off,
GERS at any time, without cause, AS
THEY DID IN LOUISVILLE ON
Monday night before the. election.
This law could have been made an
excellent one by placing two Republl'
cans and two Democrats on the State
board, with heavy bond and imprison'
ment IN the penitentiary tor the vio-
lation of their trust. But this was moi
done. The purpose of the law was tC
return Democratic victories at all haz

the present contest. The man who
defends this infamous and odioui
measure is either where Moses wa

monster. The man defending thi
measure commits political suicide anC
deserves Ostraclsm.

No Han. Il the Conspiracy.

The arrests of Caleb Powers, Sec
rotary of State, and Captain John
Davis, the Capital Square police
man, marks another step in the
steady step of Kentucky to anarchy
and ruin. The corruption fund is full
filling its mission; its purpose is being
beautifully carried out and the great
common people stand in wholly horror.
The progress of the Goebel conspiracy
vet moves forward with seeming tri-
umph, but the climax is nearing 70.
Gus. The end is nigh. That political
revolution conceived in and bred by
the Infamous and savage Goebel cleo.
ton law Is fast approaching. This,
however, is Just what we predicted
would come. This Is verbatim, what
Watterson said would be the newt
able and unavoidable result of the re-
suits of that law of disfranchlsement.
Every journal and periodical of note,
in the United States, have denounced
and condemned the Goebel act and
the manner in which its "sponsor" was
manipulating it. The Commercially
peal, Democratic paper with unques-
toned loyalty, edited by a man with
conscience and brain, denounced the
measure in terms as strong and as EN-.
phatic as the English language affords.
Goebel came into Kentucky politics
to bring not peace, but a sword" pro-
claimed its editor and this is known 10
all. The conspiracy has proceeded dc-
oording 10 la,o, but in order that the
law might be enforced according to the
conspiracy, the brothers of the dead

Mr.. CICERO T. SUTTON, editor Of
the Greensboro Inquirer, was in Hart
ford Tuesday. Mr.. Sutton is one of
those Democratic journalists who had
enough courage, honor and backbone
to denounce what he absolutely knew
to be detrimental to his party and his
country. 1t indeed requires nerve and
determination to break away from
party ties and party associates. The
result of the election in Greensboro
and Davies county shows the handi-
work of this gentleman. We highly
appreciate the call of one who has so
earnestly and zealously fought with us
for civil liberty and the honor of the
great State that gave us birth.

Etpuu ui one, ana Uutn lulltul pufllr7 ARE repre-
scented ON every board in the state
The above appeared in Wednesday,
Meade County Messenger, credited to
the Sentinel, under the caption, "Tht
Election Law" 10 reading this we
were convinced that ITS author had
either visited Sleepy Hollow and had
forgotten himself or else he was fit
subject for Lakeland, if its Superin-
tendent could administer to him. We
are persuaded that a sensible, unbiased
and an informed man would not be
guilty of the exhibition of such un,
pardonable ignorance, For the bene'
fit of the gentleman who has been in
Africa or a similar cline, we will again
offer our protest to this unholy meas
ure.
Under the old law the County
Judge had the power to appoint the
precinct election officers. THIS officer
solemnly swore that he would dis
charge his duty faithfully and fear
lessly, but in order that the State
might be made sure that this oath
would be fulfilled, a heavy bond was
required to be gwen. Under the Goe.
bel law these three men may be horse
thieves, bank robbers, professional
gamblers, desperate characters and
ballot box suffers, and all that this
law requires is that each man shall
take 9th that he will faithfully per
form bis duties. There is no bond to
restrain this board as there was in the
case of the County Judge 1t would
be more plausible to induct the Sheriff
into Office without bond than these
election commissioners, because he
could only steal our money and the
election commissioners can steal our
freedom without which life is not worth
the living. The assertion that "both
political parties are represented on
every board in the State" is absolute.
Iy a malicious la'sehood. The CEN
trail triumvirate, the fountain head Of
all the State boards is not composed
of both parties. Every man IN it
was aud is dre-earing aud blood
thirsty Goebelcrat, and there were
county boards in the State that were

LETTER CARRIERS PAY INCREASED
Local Mail Men Now Receive $1,000 a
Year

In accordance with the act of Con-
gress which provides that all cities
having a population of $4,000 or more
shall be classed frst-elass cities by the
General PostOffice Department and
that letter-carriers in said cities shall
receive an annual salary of $1,000, the
letter-carriers of Wilmington have
received an increase in their pay.
The last census showed Wilmington
to have a population of 7G.50S. and the
increase in letter-carriers' salaries went
into effect from October /, the mail
men receiving their first pay under
the new enumeration on October Is.
The total number cf letter-carriers
In this city. whose salary has been IN
creased from $3.50 to $1,000 per year, is
thirty-one, and the annual disburse-
ment amounts to S4,65O in excess Of
that paid according to the census Of
1890.
The local carriers feel much indebt-
ed to Postmaster Hugh c. Browne for
his action in bringing before the de-
partment in Washington the fact that
they were entitled to an increase in
pay under the last enumeration
