Elsewhere we publish the reply of
Mark Smith to the proposal of Col. Will
son regarding the congressional mud
die. The reply Is open and manly.
Mr.. Smith takes the position that, be.
ing the regularly nominated candidate,
it would not be honorable to withdraw
at this time. He had won the fight
fairly and withdrawal would be tanta.
mount to an admission that that nom
ination was tainted with fraud. Now,
let any reasonable man read and digest
the Wilson proposal; He had lost the
fight, but was willing to Zip "A coin to
see whether his succe eSSful competitor
or he should have it. How farcial
proposition! Then he will submit it to
the secretary of the territory to decide.
And if Mr.. Smith will not agree to the
"heads.I. win tails you lose" PROPOSE
ton, not submit to the repu ublican Off
cials, he is willing for both TO with
draw and allow the two committees to
select man for the race. As the two
committees stand forty eight for Will
son to thirty. eight for Smith, Mr.. Smith
would be standing in the same position
as did Gov. Tilden in the famous eight
to seven commi'sion. The propo sition
of Wilson is untenable aud his retire
ment from the field is but a matter of
few days, unless railroad influence
will keep him in the field.
Yesterdays rain was one of the best

down and stop several times this side

Some men have an itching desire for
nOtoriety and when the public di,-
misses them as unworthy of single
thought they will get up some scheme
To bring themselves again to public
view. Now, this appears to be the case
with w. II. Lake. He proved himself
a most unworthy servant of the people
and the people might have forgotten
his existence had he remained in the
background, but he comes forward with
a card pledging his eternal feaIty to
the democratic ticket in melodramatic
way. If Mr.. Lovin can secure only the
tarnishe1 voters of MOhave county we
fear he will find himself far SHIRT of a
majority in the coming election.
The sheriff's office this week has
been doing land o flee business in re-
failing out poll tax receipts. Several
of the candidates have taken poll tax
books under their arm and will insist
on presenting every voter with one of
these necessary adjuncts to registra-
tion. This poll tax business will cost
some candidates few hundred dollars
before the close of registration. They
come high, but the voter has to have
them.

II. Weber, chairman OF the Audrain

THE MOTHERS HOUR.

Little figures robed In white
Mellow glow of candle light.
Little hands appraised In prayer,
Roses sweet and fair.
ALI the work and play and fun
For the happy day are done.
All the little faults confessed,
All the troubles set at rest.
Childhood sweet as dawn and fiow-
ers
Drifts through many changeful
hours,
But one hour, the mothers own,
Must belong to her alone,
When she sees each sunny head,
Safe and cozy in its bed.
When the world may do its worst,
God and she have had them first,
And her BARNS are folded fair
In the tender Shepherds care.
Angels bend above the room,
Where the dimpled darlings bloom
In their lovely innocence,
Warding every evil hence.
From the little ones who dwell
Where the mother guards them well.
God and she about them stand,
They are safe on every hand.
Kneeling for them st the throne,
They are hers and Gods alone.
And each child, tender flower,
Blossoms In the mothers hour.

PRESIDENT WILL NOT INTERVENE.
WAsHEeToH, D. O., Feb. 2.-NeagIy
the entire time Of the Cabinet meeting
to-day was. taken up In q discussion Of
the situation in Kentucky and the
rights and duties Of the President In
connection Herewith.
The PRECEDENT decided that the situ-
alton did not warrant the Federal
authorities in interfering.
This decision was announced to the
Cabinet Immediately upon its conven,.
ing. Attorney General Grigg, secre-
tary Root and the other lawyers Of
the Cabinet sustained the Presidsnt'g
conclusions. The law which must
govern in this case authorizes Federal
interference when the Legislature Is
not in session. Governor Taylor's
message does not intimate that the
Legislature of the State cannot be
promptly convened, nor does he show
that the conditions in Frankfort are
such as would justify Federal inter-
vention.
The President and members of the
Cabinet, without exception, recognize
the fact that the Legislature Of the
State of Kentucky, or a majority
thereof, is the sole Judge Of which Of
the two contestants was elected Gov
ernor of the State at the recent eIeo-
tion.
