No other cause than that contain
ed in the letter to bis sou. can be as

Lying and Stupidity .
Louisville, Ky , Nov. 12. The
Courier-Journal to day saye:
The lying Associated Press,
though its lying agency iu this
city, contained in its yesterday' re
p i t of the Kentucky elections re
turns, the following infamous etite
menl: "The only iasues in this election
were factional, the dominant faction
of the Democracy being the Cleve
land party, as opposed to wing which
supported Mr. Henry Watterson in
his opposition to Cleveland's nom
ination." The malignancy of the liar
seut this over the wires is
equaled by his stupidity No
in Kentucky ever dreamed of
an issue in the recent canvass
who
only
one
such
and
vote iu Kentucky, and no one could
conceive such a thing, except some
venomus idiot. The Associated
Press has fallen low, it is made the
vehicle of such gratuitous and stupid
falsehoods.
