Twenty-ono republicans, IS democrats nnd about a dozen kids heard tho elo- ' qucnt (?) young Demosthenes of tho J mountains riddle, tho Uoebcl Election law. Ho spoko to u small crowd at Liberty Tuesday. Monday was county court day at Lib erty and several from this neck wcruin attuudanco. Tho Hon. C. C. McChord, of SprlngUold, thu democratic nomlncu for- rullroad commissioner for tho 2d district, mado a rattling good secch to a fair audience coraKsed of both dems and rads. Tno general Impression Is that tho man from Louisville (Mr. Ir win) Isn't In it. Tho "wild man" thnt lion loon creat ing such terror In thu lclnli) of Lib erty was captured Inst week by ShcrilT Hrown and a iiowo gotten up for that purpose. Ho showed fight and It was with much dilllculty that tboy could do anything with him. Ho guvu his uamo as Sullivan und ald ho was "heuded" for San Fraucieco.

Everybody would bo bonellted. O.C, MONTICHLLO HOW TUB TOWN WAR vNII IIOWBIIKIs' N . One can hardly Imagine tho changes that havo taken plaoo in Montlcello In the ln( seven yenrs ro great havo they been. I mado my last trip there In IS!'.! and I hardly knew tho place when Hon. II. C. Warren and myself drovo Into that good town Sunday afternoon after a Sabbath day's Journey of something less than 100 miles. Where tho quaint old court-houso formerly stood n mug nltlceut leinplu of Justice now greets tho cyo and In the place of ancient looking business houses, modern brick buildings now stand Montlcello has had tier llres, and as Is utunl tho can, sbo has been benefited by them. Tho court-house, In short, Is u gem of architectural design, largo enough fur most any county In tho Mute nnd it cost tho luxpavcrs only about i 13,000. Good business men and democrats were on thu building committee nnd they saw to It that Wayne county was nut rob-( bid by extortionate charges. Tho county otllccs nrn commodious and com fortable, tho vaults are said to bo thor oughly safe, while the circuit court room Is a beauty Indeed, with a seating capacity of o00. Tho court-house Is manned with democrat and a cleverer lot of otllclals would bo hard to find. Charles McCon naghy is judge, Isaac Walker, circuit clerk, W. F. Falrchlld, county clerk W. It. Cress, county attorney. F. M Shearer, superintendent, T. II. Lair, Jailor, and Mr. Ucnnlngcr, sheriff, all of whom, with tho exception of tho latter, (nnd his brother and a deputy, F. I), Kennedy, took it) uro now sub scribers to the "cheapest and best." Wuj no's Interests arc looked after with vigilant cjes and uven partisan repub licans can find no fault with tho way lb? county's affairs arc conducted. Mr, Cress Is an old Hockcaitla county boy and onco edited tho Mt. Vernon Signal. Ho U now ono of Alontlccllo's staunch- cst citizens and a democrat and olllco r of whom tho county Is proud. I spoke abovo of Mr. Warren being at Montlcello, Ho spoke to a crowd of 250 to .100 Monday afternoon and his effort was well rccolvcd from start to finish. It was county court day and, notwithstanding thu rain and tho small lox scare, many democrats rodo miles to hear him. Way no was in Mr. War ren's district when bo was Common wealth's attorney and ho mado friends then who woro glad to welcome blm agnln to tho county and they gav o htm something of an ovation. Ho was in troduced by Mr. W. ft. Cress and for 2i hours ho gavo his audlonco democratic doctrine puro und unadulterated. A Hrownlto nnd n republican or 60 tried to disconcert Mr. Warren by asking blm questions on tho start, but he an swered tbetn to satisfactorily thai they soon learned to let him alone, I tvus gratified to And so few bolters In tho county. Hrown's following can bu coiuitcd on your lingers and thero ure those who think several of lhoo will como to their Fonsus ero eleetlou time arrives. Doing tho homo county, or rather ono ol tho homo counties of Gen Hardin, Wtijtiu democrat woro a little torn when that gentleman was defeated, but It didn't lust long und more enthusiastic supporters of the regular democratic nominees :an not now bo found. Good rcorts may bo expected this year. . Tho democrats uro very sanguino of electing A. 11 Owens tolho Legislature from Wnj tic und Clinton and uro put ting in Miinu good work to that cud. Tho district Is republican, but Mr. Owens' popularity und tho fact that ho married tho daughter of a prominent republican, who is warm for him und who Is a moat excellent worker In eleu tions, makes him stand u lltat rate show to win. Thu handsomest residence ever built In Wujnu county has Just been comple ted by County JudgoChurles McConua ghy. It Is u lurgo brick, very modern in structure nnd Is situated in a beauti ful grovo of oakB. It is u homo uny body would feol proud of, but it isn't a bit too good for tho clover gentleman, who occupies It. C T, Hamsey, broth-or-ln-luw of our Murk Hardin, ulso bus a splendid now homo, as has Mr, llront Crawford, These residences would be u ci edit to u town 10 times tho size, of Way no's capital. I called ul thu Wu) no County llccurd olllco, but Judgo Phillips, tho editor, wus not In, Ills handsome daughter, Miss Augusta, mado tuo feol at homo, however. She usslsts her fatbur lu do ing local work as well us somu of tho mechanical duties of tho olllco. It Is Miss Phillips' desiro to become a ,o portur for u motroM)lltan dally und she su)8 sbo will nuver bo contented until sbo Is. Certainly sbo is woll equipped for such work. Attorney Sum C. Hardin Is tho lead ing "bolter" of Way no county, but I am glad to say ho hasn't much follow ing. His agod father and brotbors, J. O, und Henjamln, aro not ul all lu jm2 patby with him politically, but on tho contrary aro red hot for Goebol. Wei' Ktod men say thoro nro not u do?on Hrown followers.ln the county. Friends of Mr, Hardin regret thu step hu has taken, for ho hits been a valuablo man to tho democratic party In his section, and thoro Hro thoso who jot have hopes thai ho will see tho error of his way and return to Ins llrst love. Wayna county bus tccn scared up from center to circumference by small- pox, which has broken out In sevara1 cctlons, but the people arc resting easier now. Montlcello quarantined against tho outside world und for a while business was at n standstill. The embargo win lifted some 10 days Hgo, however, nnd things are resuming their normal conditions All sorts of rumors aro yet afloat. It's tin 111 wind that blows nobody good. The cru kept Hill Sweeney from going to Montlcello losptnk Sweeney and tho small pox aro a llttlu inoro than u small town can stand at ono time. Tho several miles of pike, which are being built between Hurnsldcnnd Mon tlcello, makes that part of the road al most Impaseubla now. Largo rocks havo been thrown In tho road for a foundation and In time these will bo covered with a coal of crushed rock, but until that coal Is put on thoso who travel over tho lino will catch It. Kven a skilled rolnsmun like my traveling mate, Mr. Warren, had a timo getting over that part of tho route There aro only four buildings on the public square that wcro thero when I was at Montlcello last and with tho spirit of Improvement that tho people lofc I predict tbcoo will soon bo re placed, by new und bolter ones. Hrick buildings with heavy stono trimmings aro the popular kind now. It Is a pretty long and costly trip to Monticollo but it was u most enjoyable ono and I expect to go thero again be fore many months como and go. Ho sides meeting many old friends, a half hundred now subscribers were added to tho I. J 's long list and I was pretty successful In other branches of tho bus iness. 1 am under lasting obligation! to W. R. Cress and Hen Hardin for val ued assistance. On returning, I spent a half day at Somerset which proved as pleasant as it was profitable. Tho good peoplo of that enterprising town have long since learned what n good thing tho I. J. Is and as usual they treated its represen tative woll und sent him homo with well filled pockets. During ray stay thero I called at Goodwin & Wuddlo's store a half dozen or so times tosceouc of tbo proproprletors but bosses and clerks wcru so busy I hud to wall until after business hours to oven shuko the gentleman's bunds. This is tbo busiest store I sco In my travels end the own ers mu.t bo making money hand over tint. They aro both excellent gentle men and richly descrvo tho success they uro having. At night I accepted Cashier R. G. Hall's Invitation to bco "A Noblo Out- cunt," presented by the Korc-Kecne Co', ut tho magnificent Gem Opera House, of which Mr. Hull Is ono of tho lesssces. Tho performance was a first- class ono. The show business ut Som erset, unlike that at Stuuford, Is a puy lug ono. n. C. W. NEWS OF THE VICINAGE. Thero aro said to bu 30 cases of small-pox at Jubii, Kusncll county. Tho Kentucky distillers' a-coclatlon elected John It. Thompson president and I. W. Ucauheim vice president. S. L. MidkllT, of Richmond, has In vented a process for putting rubber tires on buggies, which promises to make him rich. Miss AdaClurl:, principal of tho Val ley View Public School, was arrested charged with cruelty by punishing a pupil, named Perkins Willis MuHra.vcr shot and killed James Riley and wounded Ulley'i bt other, becuuso ho insulted him by speaking to blm after not doing so for several yoars All Uvo In Hull. James Cupps und James Ferguson, who woro churned with being accessor ies to tho killing of Gcorgo Wilborn,ln Clinton county, Sop 10, wcro dismissed. Hob King, who did tho killing, is still ut largo. Tbo trial of tho Grltllns, Chadwells und Uurnctts, charged with tho mur der of Deputy Sheriff Thackcr wus again positioned ut Manchester, li is now set for loduy.

Klnualrd, a leading, but an honest republican, puts Taylor's plu rality nt only li'ild. This can bo over come as we now h.ivu un eleetlou law to prevent frauds. Jim "Crow" Dillon deserves much credit for raising a fund to placo u marble slab over the remains of Lt. J. T. McQucvy.! of Co. H. 3d Ky., Mor gan's command. News has reached hero of tho birth of a daughter to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fris:ic, now In Omaha, lato of this city. Mrs. Friable, is a daughter of "Grandpa" J. W.

He ho contracted to make a metallic circuit from this place to Nlcbolasvlllo and hopes to run to Frankfort by tbo timo the legislature convenes. Ho will move tho home olllco to thlscity which will bo central for all tho towns con nected by the line. Score ono moro or Lancaster. A largo crowd attended court Mon day, many being hero from Lincoln county, several bunches of cuttle wero on tbo market, but prices being high and feed not so plentiful as usual, tho sales were not so many. Mr. M. Luuber bought six horses at an aver ago of 875, und 42 mulo colts at an av erage of t25. Mr. Ktco Benges' stock pons wcro liberally patronized and ho Is prepared to tako care of them. Ue tarnishes frco transportation from town and will havo something to warm tho system during winter court days. On Tuesday morning W. T. West found his postofllco door open, a num ber of tools lying near his safe and a bit which had been forced several in ches into tbo safe door and broken off in tbo safe. This break saved Mr. West $12.), which was in tho safe, as tho work was nearly completed. They got 25 cents out of tbo stamp drawer. G. S. Grccnleaf's and W. J. Roman's shops wcro broken open and their tools wero used. Everything goes to prove that homo talent did tho work, and a night man, put on secretly, could do tome good work this season, as the timo for such depredations is at band. Squire J N. Denny and Mr. G. T. Ulgginbotham havo gone over tt)o pro- xscd routo for the extension of tbo Southern railroad, and they make a favorable report, thero being no mnrk ed opposition to arbitrating tho dam ages In reference, to thu right of way. It Is ugreed that farmers on tho routo will meet hero on Friday, when parties will bo uppolnled to assess damages, und it Isbolioved tbut tho amount re quired can bo readily rutsed. Mr, Jop Thompson's land runs to Preachers vllle, In Lincoln county, und It is bo Moved tbut that town should pay his damages, us a depot will bo built thero. Tho court house was literally packed on Monday, everybody being anxious to hear tho nblo and gifted orator, Hon. James D Black. Ho received marked attention und frequent applause, which his logical statomonls so justly merited. Ho charged tho present State admin istration with gross mismanagement of tho llnmces; with Increasing tho rato of taxation 10 cents, raising u largo sum of tnonoy and reducing tho debt only 810,000; with taking from tho school fund of last year to Increase tho per capita this year, to make a good showing In tbo campaign; with cxtraT ugant prison expenses and scandals and with dlrors other things. Ho spoko of fraud perpetrated by that ptrty lu elections and wondered what right tboy had to accuse democrats of com mlttlng fruud.
