Caleb Powers all kinds of mean,

For no other reason in this world

In speech at Mt. Vernon,
Kentucky, delivered last May,
and after Mr.. Edwards announc
ed his candidacy for Congress,
J. NJ. Robson stated that he IN
teuded to win the nomination for
Congress If he had to resort to
means the result of which would
force him to live under trees
and eat grass the rest Of his
days. At this statement the
people of Rockcastle county
were aStounded, as they knew
but one and only one con-
struction could be placed upon
it, and that was, that Robson
conceived the idea that he could
purchase, with money, enough
votes to nominate him.
This is the first time in the
history of politics we have ever
heard it claimed, or even intima

this district was for sale. Such
an insinuatiOn is an insult to
every Republican voter in the
district, and you can rest as
sured that they will resent this
mean insinuation on August grid
