FRIDAY. FEBRUARY21. 1B9S.
JOSLFH B. CHKADLE, of Frankfort, announces tbat be is a candidate for delegate-at-large to the St. Louis convention. There are two conventions to be held in St. Louis, the Republican and the Populist. It is important to know which one JoBeph desires to attend.
TUB farmers of the United States were just beginning to find an enlarged foreign market for their products under the reciprocity policy when a Democratic Congress came along and smashed it. Of course that great wrong will be rectified as soon as Republican rule is restored.
THE Frankfort News, commenting on the grand stand play of Chairman Gowdy, says:
Suppose that the Supreme Court should hold the apportionment of 1885 to be invalid, then what? The Governor has pointedly said that under no circumstances would he convene the legislature, and there is no way that he can be compelled to do it. We should consider these things carefully.
MINISTER WILLIS refused to take part in the celebration of Hawaiian independence because his government did not approve of the manner in which the monarchy was overthrown. Why does Mr. Willis stay in Honolulu, the capital of the Republic? If he cannot approve of the form of government or the manner of its being called into existence, he should have sufficient manhood,to pack his grip and come home.
THE fly in the Democratic ointment in this State is free silver. An attempt has been made on the part of the anti-silver wing to postpone the State convention until after the National Convention is held. To this proposition the silver wiDg objects. The leaders of the latter declare that if the convention is postponed the freesilver Democrats will hold a convention of their own. A split seems to be inevitable.
ELSEWHERE will be found the official call for the conventions to be held in the several townships on Saturday, March 7, to select delegates to the State Convention, to the Convention at Jb'rankfort to choose delegates to St. Louis, to the Congressional Convention, and to the Joint Representative Convention—these five and no more. It will be well not to confound the call for these several purposes with the call for the county convention. The time for selecting delegates to the county nominating convention haB been fixed for Saturday, April 18, two weeks before the nominations are made, which will be Saturday, May 2, and will be made, in a separate call. Republicans should get these dates fixed in their minds.
JAMES A. MOUNT FOR GOVERNOR. The JOURNAL does not urge tlie nomination of Hon. James A. Mount as the Republican candidate for Governor because he is a resident of Montgomery county. Indeed,if there were no other reason than this to prompt us to urge him upon the favorable consideration of the convention, we would remain silent on the subject. We propose to state, briefly, a number of weighty reasons why Mr. Mjnnt should be our Btandard bearer in the approaching contest. 1. He is incorruptibly honest, as well in public as in private matters, and no breath of suspicion has ever tarnished his fair name. Both his private and his public life stand above reproach and above jus*, criticism. 2. Mr. Mount is in the prime of life—hale, hearty and Isborous—filled with the vigor, activity and enthusiasm of boyhood. He is enterprising and fertile in expedients' for the development of the State in its-moral, social and business features. While he is not a crank, he is a firm believer in progress and is thoroughly interested in the development of all our pursuits, interests and industries. He believes that whatever governments can do towards bettering the condition of the people should be done. 3. Mr. Mount is able-tocope, on the stump, with anyone that, may be put up against him. He has held inauy joint political discussions with able opponents, and never came out second best. He is quick, active and always posted. He is a cyclopedia of information touching our political history, and always has the information at command. He never flounders or hesitates for an answer to any point

urged by his opponent. 4. Mr. Mount has proved his patriotism by his works. He entered the army when a mere boy, and served in General Wilder's command from the beginning to the end of the late war. He was always on duty and never flinched or faltered on any occasion. His record, as a soldier, is one of which any one might well be proud.
These are by no means all the reasons that could be urged in behalf of the nomination of Mr. Mount, but they are enough to show that he would fight his way to victory, and make a public servant worthy of the better days of our history. And in saying what we have in behalf of Mr. Mount, we mean no disparagement to others who aro seeking the nomination. They are all worthy man.

Tuesday, Feb. 18, b»ing the last day of school at Gray's Chapel the patrons and several visitors assembled at the school to-pay a welcome tribute of respect to the teacher and pupils. Mr. McClain has taught a very successful school and has won the esteem of the pupils and patrons. A prize was awarded to the scholar who had attended school every day and was won by Elsie Myers, the 6-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ransom Myers. The prize was an elegant gold ring. The school had arranged a very interesting programme for the occasion which consisted of recitations, etc., and which was rendered in a very able manner. A speech was made by W. D. Bruner, his subject being, "What is Life Without an Education," which was very interesting and instructive. After the closing address by Pi of. McClain and the biddiug adieu to the scholars, all departed, hoping the school would prove to be as successful next year as it has been tnis year.

ZERO WEATHER PREVAILS.
Predictions Rased on the Groundhog? Evidently Without Much Force. INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 20.—Last night
the cold was most intense in this city, many thermometer marking as low .as 6 below, and much complaint was made because of a shortage of gas. Reports from many parts of the state show a like condition, Valparaiso reporting a temperature of 6 below and zetro weather prevailed all over the gas belt.
Reports from a number of cities and towns in Illinois indicate that the coldest weather of the season is prevailing there. The thermometer ranged from zero to 12 below and it was getting oolder. A strong wind prevails, and much apprehension is felt for the safety of stock. At Joliet and Mendota the thermometer registered 7 and 12 degrees below zero, respectively," while it is under the zero mark at the following places: Cerro Gordo, Areola, Carlyle, Percy, Bloomington and Princeton.
GOMEZ AND MACEO.
Insurgent Forces Combine and Move Toward Matanzas Province. HAVANA, Feb. 20.—Antonio Maoeo,
with a large following, yesterday made an attack upon Jaruco, which is the largest and most important town on the railroad between Havana and Matanzas. The official reports state that the garrison made a heroic defense, but not a word is said of the losses on either side or of the damage inflicted by the insurgents. After the attack Maceo left the town and joined the column led by Maximo Gomez, which came to meet him. It seems evident that Gomez and Maceo intend to move into Matanzas and form a junction with the insurgent forces from the east under other leaders which have arrived there.
