made by the Louisville Herald of
Judge O'Rear's statement of Sem
ator w. O. Bradley, which has
been given tosthe public through
Democratic papers,. the London
Echo, a strongfRepublican organ
in this district sit a ties: "The
statement made::by Judge O'Rear
was, that despite. the machina-
lions of the:i lobby. here is one
Senator from; Kentucky on whose
title there isl no stain, and on
whose record there is no blot. -
If Judge O'Rear had not believ-

uttered to be true, and this being
the fact, no defense is neces.

justice to the great cause he has

what changes will be made in the
building, but it has been planned
to make hall upstairs by tearing
out the partitions and the stairway
on the inside. We have been of

been paying, but we have decided
to let the drug company remain
We have also been offered $1,000

fer it. In regard to the other ten
ants we will make no changes.
