SENATOR TOM LONG
IN LEXINGTON.

1t was our intention to make men
tion last week of the presence in Lex.
ington of State Senator Tom G. Long,
Of Jackson, who was here to try to re-
place number Of mules he had sold
few months ago. He found Hen
derson county mules (the kind he
wanted) so high that he said he was
seriously considering the purchase of
mares to replace the mules on the
farm. That the mares, well-treated,
can do the work, all viii admit and
from the mares future valuable mules
can be raised-thus answering the
purpose the mule can not serve, for
the mule is said to be the only living
thing that has neither pride of an
cestry nor hope of posterity."
While here we put the question to
Senator Long if he would be candi-
date for reelection, and while he did
not give definite reply in the af-
firmative, he said he saw no reason
why he should not stand for another
term in the Senate, as his votes cast
in that body were invariably favor
able to the interest of farmers, the
labor people and the people generally.
He also said that in the event of his
return to the Senate, he thought he
would aspire to the speakership-a
position which his experience in leg
islative bodies would enable him to
fill with efficiency. We can say for
Tom Long, that so far as we know,
he was not whipped into any line dur
ing the session Of the last General
Assembly by the lash held in the
hand of any man or welded by any
interest.
