Nor iiIhI NtMle mf Aflklrn- The
Jury llondercd a Verdict el
Acqnlllnl In Tw Minute.
The farslcal character of the elec
tions held in taxington was never bet
ter illustrated than in the trial to-day
of D. B. Saffarans and Charles Roberts
for frauds in Duck's precinct at the
last August election, when John J.
Sullivan was counted In over Letcher
Lnsby for City Marshal.
Dan Saffarans was Sheriff and Chas.
Roberts a Judge at this election and
were tried together, William McNa
mara, clerk, and Dan Scott, the other
judge, asking for separate trials.
Messrs. Wellington Payne, B. P.
Carpenter, E. B. Hayman, W. E. Hib
ler, and L. P. Young swore upon the
stand that they did not vote for Sulli
van; that they did not know he was a
candidate, and that his name was not
on the tally sheet when they voted.
The tally sheet, signed and certified
to under the oaths of the defendants
as officers of election, was offered in
evidence, and showed that all of these
gentlemen were recorded as voting
for John J. Sullivan for City Marshal.
Dan Scott and Dan Saffarans testi
fied that B. J. Welch, Chairman of
the Democratic County Committee,
called at the voting place about 10
o'clock on the day of the election and
instructed the officers to place the
name of John J. Sullivan on the tally
sheet for City Marshal.
The polls had been open long enough
for the clerk to fill about one page
with the names of voters, none of
whop w'ere reoordad as voting for any ,
candidate for City Marshal. ; I
-CApTl" later according to the tes
timony of Baffaraua and Roberta, Mr.
Welch returned, and pointing to the
flrat page of names said in substance :
"Boys, fill up that page for Sullivan,
and make him equal with the Demo
cratic ticket."
William McNamara, the clerk, was
put on the stand, but he could not re
member anything about the election.
He did not even know whether it was
in August; He did not remember
whether Sullivan's name was put on
before or after the polls opened, and
could not tell the jury by what author
ity men were recorded as voting for
Sullivan who did not know he was a
candidate, and who would have taken
great pleasure in voting against him
had they been consulted.
The poll-books were shown him and
he admitted that Messrs. Pay ne, Young,
Carpenter, llibler and Hayman were
recorded in his handwriting as voting
for Sullivan for City Marshal, although
these men testified on oath that they
did not so vote.
Mr. Roberts, one of the defendants,
testified that he had never acted as
judge before; that he had been forced
to serve against his will, and that he
signed the poll-book in good faith
wit hout examining it to see if the clerk
had properly recorded the votes. He
said he had not taken any part in fal
sifying the record, and had signed the
sheet as a matter of form, supposing
everything was all right. He had
heard Mr. Welch give his instructions,
but said he did not know thut the
clerk had committed any fraud.
Mr. Safturns said he hud been acting
as an officer of elections for tweuty
five years, and had never known of a
case of a Judge or sheriff examining
the poll-books to see whether every
thing was all right before signing and
certifying to the record.
E. B. Hayman testified that as he
went to vote Mr. Saflarans said:
"Come in, we've got somo good Dem
ocrats for you to vote for." " I went
inside," said Mr. Huymun, "and
looked over the book to see who were
running. I indicated who I wanted to
vote for, and am sure Mr. Sullivan's
name was not on the tally-sheet, and
was not voted for by ni."
McNumura, on orowt-examinutiou
by Judge Jewell, said he supposed
when the chairman of the Democratic
Central Committee ordered him to
putiulllvan's name on the ticket he
thought that was enough uuthorlty
for recording all Democrats for him.
Mr. Watts Parker, In his statement
to the Jury for the defense, contended
that tint officers of election hud in
tended no fraud in currying out the
order of Mr. Welch to run Sullivan
evull with the Democratic ticket. He
said that the Judges hud committed
no crime iu permitting the clerk to
enter up all the Democrat as voting
fur Sullivan; especially us therw wus
but ouecuudidaU) running ut the time.
He admitted thut tho conduct of the
otlloers was technically wrong, but
denied that any criminal act had been
committed.
If there Is no wrong In deliberately
falsifying the record of an election
when but one candidate Is running,
why not do away with general elec
tions and authorise the Democratic
Committee to carry out the will of the
Democratic primaries and declare who
are elected.
Messrs. Jewell and Parker claimed
In substance that no great harm was
done In taking It for granted that men
voting the straight Democratic ticket
would have voted for Sullivan, and so
recording them without authority.
Conceding this remarkable claim,
how do the able attorneys Justify
Clerk McNamara for recording and
the judges for permitting him to re
cord Republicans like E. B. Hayman
and B. P. Carpenter, and a Prohibi
tionist like W. E. Hlbler for Sullivan T
In the case of Mr. Hlbler the out
rage was more inexcusable than In
the other cases, as the claim cannot
be made that his vote was entered for
Sullivan In the haste of recording him
for other candidates.
As a matter of fact, he expressly
stated that he did not want to vote on
anything but the turnpike question,
and yet he is recorded by Clerk Mc
Namara as voting for John J. Sulli
van. Colonel John R. Allen, who con
ducted the prosecution, submitted the
case without argument, and the de
fense did likewise.
The jury, after an absence of two
minutes, returned a verdict of not
guilty.
Colonel Allen, in view of the failure
to convict Saffarans and Roberts,
moved that the cases against McNa
mara and Scott be filed away.
Judge Morton announced that he
would take the matter under advise
ment. Oood citizens of all political parties
have been watching for the trial of
these cases with much interest, and
hope that every man concerned In
the notorious election frauds of lost
August will be prosecuted "to a fin
ish." The testimony offered to-day in the
cases against Saffarans and Roberts
proved that they made no effort to
prevent frauds, but it was not nearly
so conclusive as against William Mc
Namara, the clerk, who admits record
ing the fraudulent votes.
A vigorous prosecution of every
case might result In sending a few
election officers to the penitentiary,
and the honest people of Lexington
hope that no efforts will be spared to
bring every offender to a speedy trial.
In the interest of justice Colonel
Allfm.ottght to withdraw njtsmotloit
to file away. As matters stand the
Colonel may not be able to sccure'any
convictions, but he can by a deter
mined prosecution of every indicted
officer check the tendency to election
crimes.
What A Lexington man nay
About Liquor In Florida.
Mr. B. F. Williams, one of the
prominent citizens of tliia city is a
total abstainer ami a eood friend
to tlio Blade. He spent last win
ter in extreme Southern Florida
and was telling me the other day
altout tho liquor drinking senti
ment down there.
He is fond ot fishing and siient
a good part of his time at that
sport.
He says the tint day he wont
fishing he caught a great quantity
of bass and speckled trout such as
. i i i
we prize so uiguiy acre.
lie came buck to his hotel and
sent a negro for them with a
wheel-barrow. They used all of
his fioh to manure cocoanut trees,
aud ate tarpon that they thought
much better. (He is not a fish
liar.) He said he noticed thut in
the town where he was staying
and where his hotel was "four
times as big as tho 1'hu'iiix Hotel
here" he never saw a saloon, aud
never saw a man druuk and never
saw, or heard, a cose of any kind
of disor Jer.
He said that, just to nee if there
was any arrangement for getting
any whisky in tho town, ho weut
to tho hotel clerk and asked him
where hu could gut some. The
clerk told him of a certain house
in the city that had rooms iu its
husomeut, and said that if hu
would go to room No. 7 in thut
basement he thought a rather
elderly gentleman, us Mr. Wil
liams wus, could get it. Hu did
not go to see.
Another Lexington man, one of
our good citizens, hud gone to
Florida with him, aud with the
usual Kentucky forethought, that
guards against rattle nako hi ten,
regardless of the direction or
season of tho year iu which he
goes, had taken along a quart.
Mr, Williams asked him if he
could give him a drink, lie raid
yes, but thut hu wuu nearly out,
uud hud not been able t get his
Husk tilled uny whore d twn I here.
Mr. WiIIiuiih then mot u pro.
fussionul deer hunter, from whom,
by the way. hu could buy a nice
dour for a do ur. Ho asked this
hunter if hu could give him a
drink of whitky.or tell him where
liu eon ll get somo. Tho hunter
could not do cither. Isn't (hero
danger of rattlo-suake bites here 'T
asked Mr. Williams. "Yes, they
kill my dogs sometimes" said tho
hunter. " What do you do for rat
tle snake bites here ? "Why, we
use chlorato of potash, and wear
thick leggins like these , said the
hunter.
Here in Kentucky we have a
way of faying Hint in the North
where the people are fish -blooded,
and phlegmatic they do not incline
to stimulants, but that the warm,
generouH, impulsive, whole-souled
nature of the true Southron makes
it just at natural for him to drink
r. t .
liquor as it is tor a chick to go
barefooted, fint the fact is thut
while Kentucky is only separated
by a river from these Northern
cold bloods, Florida is tho ex
treme limit of the South.
The explanation is t lint it is
simply a lack of hraiiM4-froMr
home training among our people,
mat muKcs them want liquor.
The aristocratic young sup
heads ol nur cities drink whisky
because they think it is smart,
and because they do not know
enough to entertain themselves
intellectually, and tho country
boys do it because they think the
town boys know it all.
There s many a young man
about hero who drinks whisky as
a cloak for his ignorance and stu
pidity. He has found out his lack ol
brains and education and uses
whisky simply to disguise the
fact, by trying to convey the im
pression that he would be a genius
if he did not have the fashionable
failing of tony society.
It is here just as it is elsewhere.
When a young man has been
properly reared, and has proper
appreciat ion of what count it u en
the dignity of manhood, he is, in
the JJIuegruss region of Kentucky,
just what such men arc elsewhere,
and is living a moral hie, and does
not regard the drinking of whisky
as the proper thing for him.
Wheu tno respectable and in
telligent country clement of our
people who have no reason to tear
the saloon aud distil'ery boycott.
assert the dignity of their family
stauding aud self rcsjtect, ami
crush out this whisky drinking
element that has charge of the
politics of this state, it will be
just like it is in Florida. If men
here retain their tear ot snakes,
either of the literal or jim-jam va
riety, they will find that jehloratc,
ot potash is aa effectual as whisky,
and the. corruscating scintiHatwg,
sky scraping flights of Kentucky
genius, it will be found, can slake
its thirst at the natural fountains
of the earth, as the greatest heroes
of antiquity huvo done, and the
greatest of modern thinkers are
doing, and it will not be found
necessary to fill up ou Kentucky
bust heud in order to show the
immense difference between the
47 percent high protective tariff of
the Republicans and the 42 per
cent of low taritt lor revenue only,
ot the Democrats.
There is one advantage however
to the Democrats in having both
the Democratic orator and his
audience pretty well filled with
whisky, that even as a defendeut
of Prohibition I am bound to ad
mit: and that is that uo thoroughly
sober man can see -any ditlercuce
between the Democrats ami thu
Republicans.
The greatest issue before the
people is the liquor question, in
volving more ot finance and po
litical com latency and integrity
than all other issues put together,
and tho two old parties arc per
fectly agreed upon that, the only
difference being thut thu Demo
crats are honest enough to udmit
their devotion to the liquor traf
fic, while the Republicans deny it,
and lio about it.
The next iu importance is tho
tariff question. On . this point
they are ho near together thut the
ditlercuce is merely nominal. The
most advanced thought of the
country is against any tariff and
it is forcing the Republicans down
aud down, while tho Democruts,
who really want Iree trade and
have uot tho courage to suy it ,
uro simply heading oil thu Repub
licans by keeping jint so far be
low tliuiil as will keep tho Re
publican trow rutting under
them, whilvj tho Democrat will
keep just u little nearer to the
proplc, us tho lust Congressional
election showed, by keeping just
a little closer to free t ratio.
There is no sentiment about
this; it is siniidy n fact that a "pro
tective taritl is for the benefit of
tho "upper ten" while five trade
is for tho lower million, ami of
course the musses are going to
vote to suit themselves, which is
free trade, or the nearest to it that
they can get.
The thing that the people are
getting to understand is that u y
I. .1 . 7 .. J .... . ....... -.'i-
fciwi vj immjt i.i j rum 1 1 tv f
and thut it is only more or less
protective us it is high or low.
You hear tho Democrats clam
oring tor a taritl which is for rev
enue only, aud with tho ixnver in
their bunds, they have decided
that 42 per cent, say, is th ? gen
eral average of duty on lmsirte
that is necessary to raise Iho rev
enue for tho government.
Hut if the Republicans should
reduce it to 40 per cent, yon
would at once find that the Demo
crats would drop to 3"i per cent,
nnd so on down, the Democrats
declaring For free trade whenever
the Republicans reduced the tariff
to ft per cent.
I he word "protective simply
refers to the protection ol the great
Northern capitalists nnd manu
facturers, and "tree trade" menus
that a man shall be free to go
into tho marts and markets ot the
World, and spend his money
where ho can get the most and
best for it, which, it seems to me,
ought to be just as truly one of
the inalienable rights ot a trco
citizens as that of life, liberty, the
wssessinii of property or the pur
suit of happiness.
Kx-CIovcrnor John I. St. John,
who will almost certainly bo the
next Prohibition enndidate (or the
Presidency, is liov tcnking
throughout (he United State and
advocates Irco trade.
So that the only erlcction of
the only laudable principle iu
Democracy is found in the Prohi
bition party.

Kentucky.
We hold that Moore of Tho 111 ue
(jlrass I Made has, and is, demon
It rating to the world that a radi
(Jal change is going on in the Blue
(rasa region. Expectation was
tn tin-toe that he would have leen
njtten-cggcd, cowhided, pistoled
nr knifed if not killed long before
Luw tor his tearless, plainness ot
r . 1 xr 1
sncccn. now sucu expectations
have gone to sleep and could not
he aroused to take such a net with
big odd.
The Rlade is having a time
proving that the Somerset Re
porter is not a Prohibition paper.
Tho difficulty is not simply "in
mi nning a negative but it is a
cjea reuse of Made vs. 1 J lade. The
Voice copied a paragraph from
tjie Pdade stating that there were
lour other Prohibition papers in
Kentucky. The Rlude recopies
atid denies that the Reporter ia
one. The Worker is appealed to
to umpire the game. Here's our
decision. As tho Itlude his affirmed
both sides ot the question we will
cill it "a draw" so fur as The
I 'Jade is concerned. Hut from
tlie ReK rter's ages ot several is
hicb wo have received, we con
cluded that if it is a Prohibition
piper it is not doing much at the
business. In tact it claims to be
and is simply a good county
paper, non partisan, while its edi
tor personally is a Prohibitionist.
;Ve have left the Worker, the
Soul hem Journal and the 15 lade;
but the greatest ol these is the
the . Wouldn't till it up for
a spring chicken.
Tho National Committee has
pi rsuaded The Blade to engage
regularly its patent Prohibition
mutter. Wo wondered how
Moore would solve the problem
(or he inw hasn't elbow room for
his own pen in its pages. He
edits it like Harper riiu his race
horse, 'Irom eend to eenu." I he
man or woman is highly favored
who gets anything in it except an
advertisement. But Moore was
equal to tho emergency. He
simply makes the Blade bigger.
If jthey double up parent matter
he will make it, no doubt still
ylillrJt.weremembcr . aright,
hebnee run the biggest . "paper Th
ilvntucky at . Midway But he
Tn'a ottfcoTisent. We can skip the
patent matter and have as much
nioore as of yore.
Wouldn't I be glad if that last
sentence iu thut first item were
true.
The second item appears in The
Worker under tho head "Three
Strikes and out." Iam satisfied
with his "judgment between the
Reporter and me. He sizes the
status up exactly right, only I
would have said that a man who
can edit a non-partisan paper now
is a mighty poor shake tor a 1 ro
hiltitionist. Hut Uro. Neal is an
olive branch man, and I reckon
wi need a little olive oil on the
troubled waters.
About the "patent matter'' in
the Blade; it liro. Neal calls the
lVhihitiou news that id furnished
bv the Prohibition National Exe
cutive Committee under the
management of Secretary J.
Lloyd Thomas, "putent matter,"
simply because the committee has
arranged to send it to papers
cheap and in "plate," then it's all
right. Jiut 1 would not like for
unv one who had never seen the
Hlado to suppose from liro. Neul's
reference thut I had in it any ot
this three-legged chicken, patent
corn crib, meet-me-by-moonlight-alone
stutl-
1 wish, by the way that Iro.
Neal would enlarge his paper (you
w:JI notice that I did not say your
"valuable paper," newspapermen
am sometimes pretty hard on each
other, but they always draw the
line ut that irony) so a to make
it take in the Nationul Commit
tee' "bilcr plate."
I like hiscditoriu Is, especially
those that give me taffy and hit a
side svijK at the Somerset Repor
ter.
I've got to kick just a littlu
again t that statement of Uro.
Neal s thut " 1 he muii or woman
is highly favored who gets any
thing 111 it but an advertise
ment." : I believe he will remember that
I have juinted u stauding iuvitu
tiiui to ladies to contribute any
thing they wunted to write to thu
llliide, and they have done m, aud
I believe thut in printing them 1
util supMrted by many fiueMsiple
in suyni'' that I huvo published
some of the best urticles that ever
appeared iu any nuwspacr iu
Kentucky.
I My own nephew who won a
pri.o ut a Chautauqua contest last
year, u sou of Kx-jcnt. tlov.
('untiill, was ut my house In the
country tho other day, and iu
coinuicutiug ou tho pajer said be
"liked those pieces of Mrs. Henry
and Mrs. C'ark," an I then he
stopped and didn't hnvo another
comment to make on the paper,
and I have heard tlmtsamo racket
from ho many people that I am
sorter getting tired of if, nnd nm
thinking alsmt shutting down on
thoso two ladies, and "graduating"
them like they do some fine horses
that have taken so many pre
miums that the others will not
show against them.
As far ns I can now recall I
have declined to publish only two
original articles sent to me over
tetnnle signatures.
One of them, i hud an intima
tion was a forgery, Innng, in re
nlity, from a hkih, and the other
was some of the very nicest and
freshest country poetry, so eulo-
gistin of me thut my distinguished
modesty would not allow me to
print it while I live, but I have
got it stored away in my litcrury
effects to be stuck on to thu end
my obituary if I should die iu
the Spring time.
As for the him il they have not
written in the Rlndo as long
winded as I have, it's because they
broke down in trying to do so, or
their paper gave out or something,
for they have aired their views
on matters and things, just like
printer s ink duln t cost any more
than this black stuff that they
pour down between the lirieks 111
making our new brick streets
It is a fact however that I have
tot pa;d the attention to my ad
vertisement department inni my
muted exchequer would suggest
that I ought to do.
Rro. Neat himself sent 1110 an
advertisement two mouths ago
that I have overlooked clear until
this day. He told me to insert it
and scud him the bill, and there
was not a word said about special
rates to editors.
This was a great compliment
too, for it was a nice advertise
ment; the only kind that can get
into the Blade.
So if you see anything adver
tised iu the Blade you had better
send and get somo of it, for it's nil
hunky. .
To make amends for this dere
liction in attending to Bro. Neat's
advertising business, the manu
script of which is hopelessly lost
in an avelanchc of other papers, 1
wiLUDlUucfi.Ataa.leiit lysoiw
memory and it shan't OstJp'
ary a pics.eu .??s"7"
Tho gist of Ilro. Neat's adver
tisement was that he had two
hooks for sale one for tho body
and the other for the soul.
The one for the bodv is "Hall's
Health Pamphlet'.. I dou't know
whether you take it internally or
rub it on the hack of your neck,
but there are directions with
every bottle, and it's all right or
Bro. JNeal woull not sav so.
The liok for the soul is
"Ancient Unbelievers". It was
written by Alexander Campbell,
and that settles it.
It tukes up Cel. s us and lr-
phyrv and Julian and Josephus
aud Tacitus and Suetonius and
Pliny and Lucieii and Fpictetus
and ull thoso old bcritcal snooze rs,
and thev knock old Hob Inirersoll
higher than a kite; and it some
body would just catch him and
hold him aud read a few pages of
it to him ho would be a Mctho
