BATTLE ON.
The Republicans Find COnsOIa-
ton in Defeat and Re.
new the War.
NOT ALONE IN THEIR FIGHT.

BATTLETowN, KY, May. 2S.h.-
Especial What a sweet consolation it
is for the grand old Republican party to
know that there are so many loyal, State
loving and flag houoring Democrats who
have RETAINED from lowering them
pelves to the level Of those who have
tried to assassinate the noble manhood
and character OF Kentucky and who by
their treachery have sunk their beloved
State into shame and disgrace.
Such noble Democrats as r. W. Knott
editor OF the Louisville Evening Post,
Breckenridge, Sweeney, Yost, Stuart and
many other distinguished Democrats
know and have demonstrated that the
Republicans have been defrauded. Ev.
cry Republican should rejoice in thefact
that we are not alone in this "holy wal
forlibery;" we can say and prove that
we have the brains of the Democratic
party on our side.
When political party sinks into deg
radiation then can we see more clearly
its three characters. We must not con.
denim the whole Democratic party fol-
the faction Of it which has deprived us
OF our liberty and diegraced our State
Well did Governor Bradley cay "Hell il
not half hot enough for such people"
They surely will rue the day when they
committed the vile Expectations they
did.
Let me encourage every Republican to
battle on. 1t is only a matter Of a few
months until our party shall know one
of the greatest and grandest triumphs.
behind the clouds the san is still shin
ing" The light Of liberty that is now
hidden in old Kentucky will yet shine
with such power of condemnation upon
our foes that there will be no escape for
them.
Let us toll and pray for the redemp-
ton Of our State liberty. The degrade
ton that our party suffers cannot last If
these states remain in union. We will
come out more than conquerors. Now
let US not forget the faithful Democrats
who stand aloof from their party and
let us be ready to fight the battle this
fall and win by a 10000 majority Of
which we will never again be defrauded.

An american Dinner Party.

e Here is Clement Scott's picture Of an
American dinner party: you are no
sooner ushered into the reception room
than you feel at home In half q second.
Conversation Is general and animated.
Your hostess is genial, gracious and an
artist In the difficult ceremony of In
PRODUCTION. The room and the atmos-
phere beam with friendliness. Intro
duced to your dinner companion, she is
determined that you and your partner
shall be friends at once. You have not
to make conversation. She makes 1t
for you. II you know anything, she
will drag II out of you In double quick
time, and you have some difficulty In
holding your own against her readi-
ness, wit aud sly cyniclsm. She can
discuss everything and knows some
thing about all she discusses, but with
out pedantry or dffectation. She has
the art Of appearing to like you and be
interested In you whether she is or not
This may be humbug, but 1t Is delight
full humbug all the same.
'srhe elements of Irritation are never
to be despised by man or woman Of
any age. This social art is generally
ignored in England, and that is why
American women are 80 supremely
popular. And what is the consequence
You go home from a dinner party In
England tired and bored to death or
wander or to your club to try to for
get 1t all. You 60 home from an Amer
lean dinner party exhilarated, little
proud Of yourself and saying.sincerely.
1T has been jolly and delightful even
ing At least that is what have felt
whenever have been honored with an
invitation In New York."-San Francis.
