The Union Republican of Georgetown.
DR.. Caleb r.. Layton's paper, expresses
the conviction that New Castle county
political leadership is dangerous and
inimical TO Republican success It also
holds that "when John Hum was gov
enor the State reached the high water
mark of Republican SUCCESS" "When
John Hum was governor" Caleb r. Lay
ton was secreta ~ of state and the gov
emor did whatever he was told to do by
his secretary. In this fact may be found
an explanation Of the Union Republicans s
very hattering estimate Of the political
conditions that prevailed under the HUM
administration.

nRoformn ln snallInr-

A convention Of school superintendents
in Kentucky has solemnly recommended
the following "reforms" in spelling:
"Buziness" for business.
"Enui" for enough
"Fethor" for feather.
"Mesure' for measure.
"Plesure' for pleasure.
"Red" for read.
"Ruf" for rough.
"rrai" for trough
"Ihru" for through.
"Iuf" for tough.
"Tung" for tongue.
"Yung" for young
It's no use. They won't 20 down.
"Buziness" for business means nothing
more than a ~" for an IS" in the way
of reform, and the others are mere
phonetisms. The proposition of these
Kentucky teachers is too "tuf' to be
considered with patience, and thousands
who are now very "yung' will be old
"enuf' before this suggested Blue Grass
photography comes to stay.
