Breckinridge will not make a formal contest for that seat In the House but will content himself with a protest. This is not the first in stance when the Colonel has figured in the role of a protestor. The Richmond Dispatch seems to think there is a conspiracy against the battleship Texas to discredit her because she was built in a Southern ship yard; hence the repeated ground ings. This looks like running the thing into the ground. "The defeat of Bryan," remarks the Louisville Courier-Journal, "was accomplished by the co operation of sound money Democrats and sound money Republicans." Just so.

The time allowed for filing these accounts expires to-morrow night, and the law says tbat any candidate fatt ing to do so shall forfeit his office, Richmond Pearson and Rev. W. A Martin are the only candidates who have failed to do so. The statements rendered are exceedingly interesting. They reveal tbe fact tbat Republicans received pay from Populists for doing faithful work and vice versa. Otho Wilson's Hay seeder was a good thing, judging from tbe accounts. Re publicans and Populists both contrib uted fancy prices to the publication. Judge Kussells expenditures in tne campaign amounted in all to 599. Of courseHhe amount of 13,000, which Mai. Grant said it cost him to get the nomi nation, is not put down. Judge Kmsell gave $100 to the Republican committee, 150 as subscription to various news papers, S403 for personal expenses Zand $30 to Ki.Gudger. which the Judge says be hopes to get back. Linney s expense account is by far the largest. It is $1,100. He gave three preachers as each. One ot them, be says, ix a Hardshell Baptist and a Dem ocrat. He gave Hal Ayer $50 for extra copies of the Caucasian. J. J. Martin, the Republican elector. puts down "whiskey" as an item in his expense account. J.
