The tickets are a credit to the Re. publican party and if elected will administer the affairs of the city and county in a most satisfactory and creditable manner. The issue before the people of this city and county 1s between the two great parties and not of a personal |nature.

The election of the city and county Democratic tickets would only add strength to the free silver machine in Kentucky. Every sound money man in Mc- Cracken county owes it to himself to cast his yote for the principles he believes in. No one knows better than certain late candidates the part the money question played in the recent Demo- cratic primary. If the Democrats themselves allow that issue in their primary, it is not at all strange that the people should take notice of that issue in the general election. The Republicans have a good tick- et. The nominees are men of high standing and of individual popular- ity. Around that ticket the Repub- cans cap rally with pride and enthus- iasm.

The only speck of danger in the future is that amidst all the present evidences of business revival the bitter experience of the past four years may be fo gotten and that the ball of specula- tion may be again set rolling into a future of business disaster.’’ The leading feature of the market yesterday at Louisville, says “Post,’” wis a special sale of 108 hogsheads at the Brow; nouse by some of thé leading shippers and re- handiers.

Charlie Tucker, a mulatto negro, and Len Lewis, a white mau, quarreled over a dollar, and a fight ensued, in which Lewis was cut in the neck and Tucker bit with a brick, An ugly gash about two inches long and an inch deep was cut in Lewis’ neck, just under the ear, and he is in a critical con- dition, After being cut he hit the negro in the head with a brick, tear- ing his scalp considerably, | ‘The negro fled, and bas not been captured, Will Tutt, ghe negro who shot and killed his wif at Mayfield last Mon- wR nolds will be thoroughly mined, - ood All of the free trade silver De have done this act.
