Fight on in Eleventh.

AS We go TO press this Thursday
morning, the fight for the republican
nomination for congress in the elev-
enth district is going en- and by eight
O'Clock tonight we will very likely
know whether Don c. Edwards who it
is claimed has only the republican
machine behind iim, or Caleb Powers
who was thrice convicted Of the muir
der OF Gov. VIM. GOebel shall be the
republican nominee.
The politicians. it is claimed are for
Edwards and the ma Drity of the peO-
PIE for Powers. If this is the case it
is to be hoped that the people have
their man, even tho he was convicted
Of the murder Of one of the greatest
men that Kentucky ever knew. or
course it is hard fer any Kentuckian

Il them if Powers is sent to Washing
IN however the people of that dis

Edwards machine should not be al
lowed to rob lin.
1t seems that either of them are
bad enough and the only solution to
The problem is to break the record and

McGeary Wins Contest.

James b McCreary IL the outcome of
the meeting of the Democratic State
Central Committee in this city today,
when the main interest of the gath
ering of political leaders resolved il
self into question Of control Of the

A clean sweep Of the pan was made
by the McCreary support when Col.

reSentative on the COMMITTEE, Ernest
Neuman. of LouiSvi lie, presented a
resolution naming Judge Allie W.
Young, of Rowan county, as chairman
and Henry r. Prewitt, of MOntgOm-
cry county, as secretary of the cam
paign committee for this fall. It was
the signal that the Johnson W hallen
forces had acknowledged the Suprem-
acy in the party organization of the
ex-senator and Ex-Governor. The oft
repeated fable OF the lion and the

time by necessity.

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.


In Withdrawing from the democratic
ticket in Tennessee as the nominee
for Governor Malcom r. Patterson
says hat he has never performed a
public act for which he is ashamed
He may not be. but think how hum
Hated were his constituency in that
good state, how ashamed were the
democrats of the state and the whole
natl IN when he unpetitioned and
without reasonable excuse pardoEed
Duncan b. Cooper for the murder of
Senator Carmack. 1t is shining evil
dence of the deep conviction Of right,
honesty of purpose and true manhood
of the democracy in Tennessee in their
constant and determined fight to
prevent an endorsement of the contemr-
tible course of an executive who has
50 miSused the trust imposed i'm him.
Some of his acts have been enough for
every TenneSseean to endure but an
endorsement of them by his reelection
would have been too bad
Now with Pate. son off the ticket and
out of the way. if his withdrawal is i'm
good faith. it is to be hoped that the
wise men OF the Democracy in Tenn
essee may gather up the fragments of
the disruptIb.e and divided party left
by the Patterson regime and find a lead
er who will bring victory and then give
an administration that will restore
confidence to the people in the party
that they once implicitly trusted.

New Death Chair.

The Llc time barbarOuS way of in.
flicting the death penalty will soon be
a thing Of the past as the work of in
stallIng the death chair at the Eddy
vile penitentiary is going on steadily
and will be ready for use in a few
weeks. The electrOcutiOn law became
effective on June 18th and il crime
is committed alter that :ime for
which the death penalty is imposed
the condemned man will be electrOcu-
ted. There has been a notable change
made in the prison at Frankfort.
The old penitentiary at this place will
soon be converted into refOrmatory
and this is one OF the principle reasons
the death chair was located at Eddy
vile instead of Frankfort as it is
hardly probable the death penalty will
be inflicted in a reformatory. The
Prison Commission will be ready in a
few months TO begin the transfer of
the prisoners. Ali the prisoners over
thirty years of age will be taken to
Eddyville and all under thirty will be
taken to Frankfort, also under this
new Law all prisoners no matter what
the crime, that meet the requirements
as to conduct can be paroled and quite
q number are now being granted.
