Barnett, and perhaps the Judge him
sslf was less surprised than his vosor-
an Vice Chairman of Hartford whsn
the returns came in, but the fault wa
not in the management OF O'Rar's
campa gn (scmcbody blundcrad whsn
MCCULLOUGH was named on the Cam
paign Commit,ea, thus giving Hoorah
Woodscn q chance to deusive ths
Temperance vote) but the real reason
was that every big inf5anest and cor
rupt politician in the State was open
+ ly opposing or sccrosly figh.dng the
Juriss. The writer hopes TO Sc a
progressive league of Republicans or
ganiz1d in Kcn.ucky at orcc, each

25, 900 OR .er ST.. i,-cascs in Kenfuclky
would pay one dollar a yEnr each to
advance tho cause of popular govern

lacking to win the causs.
Take it, from us tlhe next Republican
n9minse for Governor was deo.d up
on durng the past campaign and he
made one spsech at Hartford.
No, it is no. Jack OliYar.
L. G. Barrass was in Louisville ssy-
sral days last week. Ed says he got
sick while thSre, and he did ocms
back looking bad, but We happsm TO
know he was looking bad bafore he
sdanbsd up there.
Th " are already startling to figure
on tIhe candidates for the various Cour
ty officers next. time. T. H. Black,
Sheriff and Bsrnard Fs'ix are dis
qualified by law from running for
re-olaction. w. S, Tinslay, County
Clark will have sarved two tasms and
Is willing to rstireywhlle E. G. Barras
time will not expire for four years
yat. l is our otpin.on tina. County AT
torney Smith will dsvote himself 10
his law practice, though he has made
a faithful public servant and may ask
a re-nomination
Judge Wedding and Henry Leach
wou each doubtless appp.oinre re-
ele1tdon though naiHEi5r has indica5ad
they were in any sense candidaI5;s.
Will Midloiff, Tho pnesant jailer has
been exceedingly polite and has kept
the public buildings and grounds in
most excellent condition, but he viii
have opposition in all probability in
the pallson OF Uncle Buck Duva,l. Watch
that race. and don't bot your
money till all prscincts are n ard
from.
We are not 50 confidsm. of our abili
ty to pick the winners as we waIts be-
fore Nov. 7th, but if MIR. Smith de
clines the offer of a second t.nm Mr..
Otto C. Martin would be our sure
shot for tine Republican nomination
To-. n Mo Ia
will just about be the ID mocra'ic stand
ard bearar. Both are good boys, but
We confess we would hats DO run
against Democratic Me.
And spaalling of nominations the
big Show will soon be ON, and the
ones who think Mr., TAFT will be re-
nominated withou oposiuion ane goin
TO he wors fooled than fat john W.
Langley when he said McCreaIy Iwpul
be beaten $4,000. Rdght here i'm Ohio
county the La Foll.efe men mo go
ing TO dispute the Presidents right 10
denomination. We could bsll you
who will lead the opposition in this
State and in this county. but for the
present we'll content oursalvss with
saying the opposition will at least
havs leaders-How many followers,
this deponsth sayeuh not.
And ON the Democratic side the
pot boils merrily. G. b. Idkens will
be the next Postmaster ut Hantford
II the Rooster pulls down the srapes
In the Nation as he did i'm Kanrucky.
Mr.. Johnson and other Donooratsc
politicians being for him.
But Y. l.. Moss'sy thinks Karl Marx
will sand dIspaach 10 the White
House.
Amy how. He don't have 10 have
