Visiting brothers cordially invited. By order of R. M. Grant, W. M. m Louisville, Ky., Jnn. 17, 188G. Deab Sib: The citizens of Louisville for many yeiirs have endured the presence, with all its corrupting and demoralizing in- fluence, of a class of men known as pro- fessional gamblers. In violation of law theso men have openly kept and operated all kinds of gambling games on the princi- pal streets of the city. The power of this class- - has been so great that they have prac- tically controlled our local politics, electing, by all manner of corruption and bribery, many of our city officials and members of the Legislature. Our young men were fast becoming common gamblers, many of them quitting their homes and families for- ever, to join this class of No merchant could feel that his money was safe because gambling had become so common that he could not tell how soon his employees would embezzle and gamble away all that was entrusted to them Strangers were unsafe, for at all the hotels and prominent places "ropers in" were stationed to lure them into these dens, where they were fleeced of their money. One of our papers pnblished tho names of one hundred and twenty-tw- o mon in this city who were actually engaged in conduct- ing public faro and keno banks alone, and that paper showed that' it cost three hun- dred thousand dollars a year to pay the mere running expenses of these banks, while the profits aggregated about a million dol- lars. In short tho city had been well nigh ruined by this fraternity. When the good people of the town could endure it no longer, over four thousand of them formed a Law and Order Club, and contributed large sum of their own money to expend in prosecuting these gamblers. So far they hove met with considerable success, but they find that tho present statutes are not sufficient to suppress such a powerful class of men, and to-da- y Louisville is filled with public gambling houses, ond there are many gamblers hanging around tho city waiting and hoping that either the zeal of tho Law and Order Club will subside or that the finances will become exhausted so that they can resume their penicious occupa- tions. To save our city irom all these evils wo have decided to ask the Legislature to pass an act making it a felony to keep a gambling house, and we respectfully request you to aid iri tho passage of such a bill. JAMES G. CARTER, Chr'n of the Ex. Com. of the Law r Order Club. The foregoing lotter was found upon the ' street, the name of the writer is not printed; but from the tenor of it we would suppose there would be no objection to its publi- cation. Tho lotter fully portrays the con- dition of our own city. We have tho sams character of popu- lation in tho shape of what is known as the professional gambler. Men who quietly and secretly keep their dens in some back room or up some dark stairway, where none can enter without the "counter sign" or while attended by one of the numerous pimps that tho proprietor Bends around tho city for the purpose of beguiling into these sinkholes of iniquity unsuspecting young men, and those under tho influence of liquor. Instance after instance can bo sighted where young men and boys, coming to tho city on business or for pleasure, have been enticed into theso places and fleeced of thoir money. ' Theso men neither "spin nor hoe," not a single thing done by them for an honest and honorable living. They are tho hyenas of our county, and they have becomo so bold of late that they locate thoir nefarious dens in tho heart of tho city; spread their nets and scoop in tho unwary. 'Tis to be hoped something will be done to remedy these crying evils by tho present "General Assembly." Make gambling a felony. . Punish them in some way as to drive them out of our community. T. A.

A Card. To the voters of Bridgeport and Cedar Run 'eeincts: I nm informed that two of ray brother candidates for Magistrate, in a recent ir raid, which covered tho borders of my district, which is composed of Bridgeport nnd Cedar Run precints, report- ed that I was off of tho track. Now I take this method of saying to every voter in the district that I nm a candidate for and will be until the mutter is settled, either in tho primnry or at the August election. While I do not expect to indulge in buttonhole electioneering with n people whom I havo been raised with, and who know my fitness for tho ofllco better than I can tell them, not that I am too lazy or too poor to go and see every man in the dis- trict nnd npk him tovoto for me, but I think an ofllco like that 1 hold should seek tho man and not tho man go crazy after tho oftlo I can say more. Every man in my ond of tho district voted for me in my previous elections, and will say now thnt thoso who know mo best nro sure to vote for me again. I am unlike tho prophet who hnth no honor in his own country. I thank ovory man over again who voted for mo before, nnd will thank every one who may honor mo with his vote again. My omciai nets are on record, or which I hope none of my supporters havo over been ashamed. My docket-boo- k will show, nnd I never had a decision reversed, never been objected to by any one to try his case, havo compromised eight out of every ton cnse.i that havo come before me to bo tried. Tho result of that is peace and unbroken friend- ship in my entire neighborhood, of which I aiu aud havo a right to bo proud. Yours Respectfully, 6, M. Tinblit. IFOIR S-A-XjI- E.

Louisville, Ky., Jnn. 17, 188G.

Deab Sib: The citizens of Louisville formany yeiirs have endured the presence,with all its corrupting and demoralizing in-

fluence, of a class of men known as pro-

fessional gamblers. In violation of lawtheso men have openly kept and operatedall kinds of gambling games on the princi-pal streets of the city. The power of thisclass- - has been so great that they have prac-tically controlled our local politics, electing,by all manner of corruption and bribery,many of our city officials and members ofthe Legislature. Our young men were fastbecoming common gamblers, many ofthem quitting their homes and families for-

ever, to join this class of Nomerchant could feel that his money was safebecause gambling had become so commonthat he could not tell how soon his employeeswould embezzle and gamble away all thatwas entrusted to them

Strangers were unsafe, for at all thehotels and prominent places "ropers in"were stationed to lure them into these dens,where they were fleeced of their money.One of our papers pnblished tho names ofone hundred and twenty-tw- o mon in thiscity who were actually engaged in conduct-ing public faro and keno banks alone, andthat paper showed that' it cost three hun-

dred thousand dollars a year to pay themere running expenses of these banks, whilethe profits aggregated about a million dol-

lars. In short tho city had been well nighruined by this fraternity. When the goodpeople of the town could endure it nolonger, over four thousand of them formeda Law and Order Club, and contributedlarge sum of their own money to expendin prosecuting these gamblers. So far theyhove met with considerable success, butthey find that tho present statutes are notsufficient to suppress such a powerful classof men, and to-da- y Louisville is filled withpublic gambling houses, ond there aremany gamblers hanging around tho citywaiting and hoping that either the zeal oftho Law and Order Club will subside or thatthe finances will become exhausted so thatthey can resume their penicious occupa-tions. To save our city irom all these evilswo have decided to ask the Legislature topass an act making it a felony to keep agambling house, and we respectfully requestyou to aid iri tho passage of such a bill.

JAMES G. CARTER,Chr'n of the Ex. Com. of the Law r Order

Club.

The foregoing lotter was found upon the' street, the name of the writer is not printed;

but from the tenor of it we would suppose

there would be no objection to its publi-

cation. Tho lotter fully portrays the con-

dition of our own city.We have tho sams character of popu-

lation in tho shape of what is known asthe professional gambler. Men who quietly

and secretly keep their dens in some backroom or up some dark stairway, wherenone can enter without the "counter sign"or while attended by one of the numerouspimps that tho proprietor Bends around tho

city for the purpose of beguiling into these

sinkholes of iniquity unsuspecting young

men, and those under tho influence ofliquor.

Instance after instance can bo sightedwhere young men and boys, coming to tho

city on business or for pleasure, have beenenticed into theso places and fleeced of

thoir money.' Theso men neither "spin nor hoe," not a

single thing done by them for an honestand honorable living. They are tho hyenas

of our county, and they have becomo so

bold of late that they locate thoir nefariousdens in tho heart of tho city; spread theirnets and scoop in tho unwary. 'Tis to be

hoped something will be done to remedy

these crying evils by tho present "GeneralAssembly." Make gambling a felony.

. Punish them in some way as to drive themout of our community.

..A Card.

To the voters of Bridgeport and Cedar Run'eeincts:I nm informed that two of ray brother

candidates for Magistrate, in a recent ir

raid, which covered tho bordersof my district, which is composed ofBridgeport nnd Cedar Run precints, report-ed that I was off of tho track. Now I takethis method of saying to every voter in thedistrict that I nm a candidate for

and will be until the mutter is settled,either in tho primnry or at the Augustelection. While I do not expect to indulgein buttonhole electioneering with n peoplewhom I havo been raised with, and whoknow my fitness for tho ofllco better than Ican tell them, not that I am too lazy or toopoor to go and see every man in the dis-trict nnd npk him tovoto for me, but I thinkan ofllco like that 1 hold should seek tho manand not tho man go crazy after tho oftloI can say more. Every man in my ond oftho district voted for me in my previouselections, and will say now thnt thoso whoknow mo best nro sure to vote for me again.I am unlike tho prophet who hnth no honorin his own country.

I thank ovory man over again who votedfor mo before, nnd will thank every one whomay honor mo with his vote again. Myomciai nets are on record, or which I hopenone of my supporters havo over beenashamed. My docket-boo- k will show, nnd Inever had a decision reversed, never beenobjected to by any one to try his case, havocompromised eight out of every ton cnse.ithat havo come before me to bo tried. Thoresult of that is peace and unbroken friend-ship in my entire neighborhood, of whichI aiu aud havo a right to bo proud.

Yours Respectfully,6, M. Tinblit.
