RFSOLUTIONS OF RESPECT:$1.00 "In timo oE poaco proparo for war," and in times of good roads proparo for bad roads. Noitbor of tbo two political parties in ibis State has boon able to get a corner on "trouble." The body of tho Domooratio State Committee is larger than its head, and that's a normal structure, and pleasant to look upon. It is said that Judge Pratt was not an enthusiastic Bupportor of Senator Deboe, when the latter was a oandidato, and tho Judgo now has occasion to call to mind tho old saying, "chickens will como homo to roost." Vinconnes, Ind., policemen are ordering strange negroes out of town. They aro ovidontly going upon tho theory that all strange negroes are bad nogroes. A strange negro in a Kentuoky town is a "homo like affair." Crittenden county Republicans did a handsome thing in instructing for Mr. H. A. Haynes for clerk oourt of Appeals. He is a man of fine character, superior qualifications as a christian gentleman, who would strengthen his party's tiokot in tho section where he is host known. The State central oommittoe the Cook-Bush contest Tues day. Judge Thomas P. Cook, of Murray, was given tho circuit judgeship nomination in tho Third judicial distriot, oomposed ot Calloway, Christian, Lyon and Trigg counties, over Judge Chas. Busb, of Hopkinsvillo. The Democratic State central committee in its meeting at Frankfort this week, very plainly and positively disapproved of the innovation made by ohairman Young in his apparent arbitrary removal of local committeemen. In Louisville and in Lexington tho chairman removed a number of committeemen and appointed others in their places. Following this precedent the chairmen of county committees in the Third Judicial district woro removed at a timo a judioial primary was pending. These arbitrary removals are undemocratic, and the decisive action of the committee in disapproving them and reinstating the old committees was timoly, and the party and State central committee are to bo congratulated upon tho wiso courso pursued. POPE STILL LIVES. But There is No Hope-ally Sinking. Rome, Italy, July 15, 0:15 a. m. The Popopassod a comparatively tranquil night, but the of his vital foroes continues. Rome, July 15, 1:20 a. m. An-other romarknblo rally in Pope Leo's condition ocourred yesterday afternoon, and now tonight he lies in no worse condition than ho was Monday evening, except for tho steady diminution of his strength. It is evident that tho Pope is making a'groat effort and straining all his nerves to maintain calmness, and to havo his will triumph over his mental weakness. lie succeeds occasionally, but an attack of delirium follows this effort and onoh is stronger than tho preceding.

Tho Republican convention to nominato a State tiokot convened in LouiBvillo at tho hour wo go to pross, Morris R. Bolknap, of is tho loading candidate and will probably bo tho nomiuoo for Governor, though Attorney Pratt has a strong following, and thinks ho will bo tho nomiuoo. Concerning his ohancos ho said: ' "Roports rocoivod by mo from tho county conventions over the Stato assuro mo of at least one-half of tho uninstruotod vote. Ma ny counties have not yot reportod which I am sure will givo mo first instructions. I am woU ploaBod with tho situation, and am in tho fight to tho oud." Belknap's friends doolaro that ho will bo nominatod on the first ballot. Tho convontion'is composed of 22GS delegates. Belknap's friends claim over 1000 instructed votos, and Judgo Pratt aays he will go into tho convention with between 700 and S00 delegates. Willson is the weakest man ui tho race. In Jefferson county contesting delegations were named in all the mootings Saturday, by tho bolting followers of Mr. A. E. Willson. Every mass convention was a scono of disordor, and serious olashos between angry politicians were narrowly averted in more than one ward. Tho convention at Vor saillos broke up in a fight. Contesting delegations were elected at Frankfort. MANY YEARS AGO Jas. W. Davis Was Well Known in Crittenden and Livingston Counties. A dispatch from Hinton, Va., under dato of July 11th says: Col. James W, Davis diod at Pence Springs, a summor resort ten miles oaBt of the city, aged eighty-four years, after a short illness.

Ho also owned a controlling uterest in tho famous P on o o Springs. Many of tho old oitizens of Crit-tendon uud Livingston counties will rornomber the deceaBod.
