sional experience, as in all his per
sonal affairs, he never stopped to
take an unfair advantage. In his
professional life and in his private
life, he held strictly to the pata ~
honor, and no man living CAN Justly
claim that he ever knowingly or will
fully Cid him wrong. He was Il
| hard fighter at the Bar, and like 9TH
fer lawyers. enjoyed winning his le-
gal battles, but when he had dono 90.
he was always ready and glad to
make his defeated opponent '"cVy

burden of defeat as light as pcssibie.
He was a plain man in eveiy way

sion to his hearers.
He was a cautious adviser and
safe counselor, and was slow always
to advise litigation. No man with
corresponding ability and reputation
was ever more modest than he. He
never appeared to realize or be con-
scious Of his high rank in his pro-
feSsion. He was as little afflicted
with vanity at the end of his life
as he was when he started on his
career. No one ever heard him
boast of any Of his achievements. IT
he felt any pride in them, he never
INDUCED in self-laudation. He lived
the same plain, simple, quiet life all
his days, avoiding all things that
seemed pretentiOus or assumed. He
was kind, generous, magnanimous
and intensely loyal in his friend
ships. He had no littleness. A
man Of more loveable disposition it
would be hard to find. Those who
knew him best loved him most. He
was man of decided convictions
upon all public questions, and never
hesitated to announce his position
upon proper occasions. He decided
his course of action upon principle
alone, and was always as honest
with himself as he was with his fel-
low men. He hated wrong and pre-
tense and sham, and never took pains
to conceal his aversion thereto. He
was an exemplary citizen, a true and
loyal friend, a devoted husband and
father, and what more can be asked
of any man?

and there, in close communion with
nature, as he loved 1t, his life be-

able simplicity with which nature
ever clothes herself, and in which
the artificialities and affectations OF
life have no place.
1t is a great tribute to a man's
character, when, on such an occa-
sion as this, in looking back over his
past, we can find nothing to be pal

too feeble in the art of expression
to delineatc the virtues which have
made him SO loved, and his loss so
greatly deplored.

THEY SEEM TO BE AFTER
THE SEVENTY THOUSAND

After Judge O'Rear was nomi-
mated by the Republican convention
at Louisville, so 1t is stated on the
most reliable information, he call
ed a meeting of the nominees. He
talked to the candidates on the
ticket about the campaign and the
election. Then Judge O'Rear de-
manded that each candidate put up,
as his part of the campaign fund,
one years salary of the Office to
which he aspired. This was to go
into a campaign fund and be used
in addition to the fund which would
be raised in the regular way.
Let's see about this. II each
candidate on the ticket put up a
years salary he would draw, If
elected, the result would be a cam
paign fund of $4,000 which would
be used for the purpose for which
such funds usually are used. The
amount named does not include
thC YO,oVO n year WHICH, tue wv
ernor draws and If Judge O'Rear
should do as he demanded of the
other candidates, the campaign fund,
raised by the candidates alone,
would be $4,000. which the cam
paign committee would have as a
nucleus for a campaign fund.
What is Judge o'Rear going to
do with this fund?
At Elizabethtown, in his opening
speech, Judge O'Rear said that
there are 10000 men in this State
who will sell their votes at any
election. Is there any connection
between the demand for one years
salary and the statement that TO-
900 voters can be bought? IT GER
tainly looks like the Judge was
planning to go after some of those
10000 men who can be bought.
For a Judge of the Court of APP
peals to demand one-fourth of a
mans salary to land him in the Of
ice he seeks, certainly is improper.
Why does he not go further and
require everybody who is promised
4 job to give one years pay toward
he campaign fund? A big cam
1aign fund could be secured in that |
way and the 10000 might fatten as
/ result.-[Fr Frankfort News-Jour-

DEMOCRATS OF DISTRICT
EXPECT TO WIN OUT

Although it is an uphill fight, but
with Robert Harrison as the nomi-
nee for State Senator, the Demo-
Gratis of the Seventh Senatorial Dis
trict, made up of Ohio. Butler and
Muhlenberg counties, confidently ex-
pect to convert the district from its
habit of sending a Republican to the
upper branch of the Legislature.
The Democratic nominee is a lead
ing lawyer of Greenville, Mullen
berg county, and knows how to
make a winning canvass. Mullen
berg and Ohio counties have dis
played evidences of throwing off
the G. o. p. yoke, and it is believed
Butler county is about due to switch
to the Democratic column. C.. Hol-
man, of Morgantown, is the Re-
publican nominee.

las clear as mud" in the Demo
cratic platform, the Post says:
Upon some other State issues
the party platforms are identi-
cal. Both parties enter pledges
for direct primaries, for better
schools and roads, for direct
election by the people of Unit
ed States Senators, for a uni
form system of accounting, for
a war against the Third House
and for a State examination of
banks.
1t all seems to be very clear to
the Posts editor, who takes a fair
view of the matter. Evidently the
Hartford Republican simply wants
to fuss at the Democrats for politi-
cal reasons only and cares little of
how sound the grounds are upon
which 1t bases its arguments. 1t
reminds us of the bashful young
man who, in calling upon his best
girl. inquired about his prospective
health. AS he ex-
planned afterwards. mot that he
cared a d-n, but just to get up
more talk" The Hartford Repub-
ican doesn't seem to be particular
about the facts, but just wants to
condemn the Democratic platform.
Concluding its general summary
IF the Democratic and Republican
State platforms, the Post says:
Take them as a whole, there
is in State issues, except in the
vital matters OF apportionment
and the registration certificate
act, little TO choose between
them. Both platforms are
good.
Why can't our neighbor be fair
nough to take a like view of the
natter?

TWENTY-NINE-INCH CORN
DURING SEVERE DROUTH

The following sounds more like
Mulhatton story than anything
else. but it appeared as a genuine
news special in Saturdays Courier
Journal:
Georgetown. KY, Aug. 25.-
While the whole countryside here is
crying for rain and bemoaning the
fact that crops are completely ruin
ed by the longest drouth known in
this section for many years, Martin
BRIDGES looks upon crop of corn
consisting of eight acres, the aver
age ear of which, by actual measure
ment, is twenty-nine inches long
and twelve inches in circumference.

sELT-coNvIcTED.

The fatal remark of Judge O'Rear
in his speech of acceptance In the
State Convention of his party, when
he said that Senator Bradley's cleo
ton 10 the place he now holds was
without stain, is arising to plague
him upon every corner. Like Ban
ouo's ghost, it will not down. That
he was insincere in these remarks is
evident by recalling what he said
upon a previous occasion. Out Of
his own mouth is he convicted. In
his speech at Lexington, just three
DAYS before his convention speech,
he gave vent to the following 1--WE
quote from a stenographic report
in the Lexington Leader, a Repub-
lican paper);
These lobbyists" continued
Judge O'Rear, mot only bride
members of the Legislature to
protect their interests, but
they ELECT United States
Senators, and decide elections.
They have elected them in
Kentucky as well as in Illi-
nois, Ohio, West Virginia and
Colorado. Illinois is not the
only State that has a Legisla-
tive jackpot"
They (the lobbyists) have elect
ed them in Kentucky" says the
knowing Appellate Judge. Whom
have the lobbyists elected in Ken
lucky? To whom did Judge O'Rear
refer? Have we ever had a better
exemplification of the Vaccinations
OF the lobby-the long-drawn-odt
contest, the chickering's and bicker-
ings which were daily reported in
the newspapers at the time-than
the final contamination of the leg
islative imbroglio which set aside
the will of the voters and sent VIM.

AFTER TIGERS" IN
MUHLENBERG COUNTY
The Greenville Record saws:

County Attorney T. o. Jones,
with the untiring assistance of the
Sheriff's Office and the help of the
court, has been making it hard on
violators of the prohibition law
lately. Since the April term of
Circuit Court there have been con-
victions and assessments of $1,24O
in fines, and most of the offenders
have been placed under bonds for
future good conduct. This drastic
treatment is having a most salts
factory effect on these law break
ers, who were growing like a green
bay tree in some sections of the
county. All offenders so far appre-
hended have been in rural sections
or small villages, none of the larger
towns being affected. Mr.. Jones
says he is determined to employ
every means to catch and convict
all offenders, and he is receiving
the aid of every officer and good
citizen in the county.

BEN JOHNSON WILL
CONTINUE HIS PROBE

Washington. Aug. 2S.-Represen-
tative Ben Johnson, of the Fourth
Kentucky district, who is chairman
of the committee on the District of
Columbia, has determined to spend
his summer in Washington and fin
ish up some of the work that he and
other members OF the committee
thought would have been finished
before the adjournment of the extra
session.
An expert accountant was hired,
and while he finds the books have
been kept pretty well since the
partnership agreement" between
the two governments was made in
1878, it is asserted that in some
parts accounts are entagled almost
hopelessly.
