ELOQUENT OVER HIS DEFEAT II* n*e*rd* Himself ns the Victim or llrjiierllii end Vnebrlttlan Peo ple— Hopes to Woollier the Winter of His Discontent. Lexington, Ky., Oct 13.-Col. Breck inridge today delivered one 0f die most remarkable addresses of Ills career. The occasion was unique. In that the defeated candidate had been Invited to present on behalf of a Breckinridge organization a banner to the'precinct wh.ch gave him the largest proportion ate vote of any other in die district. This precinct was Harper’s Ferry, in Henry county. Of tho 170 cotes cast Breckluridge got 139 of them, in pre senting tho banner tho colonel took oc casion to drag open in his skillful man ner all the old wounds of the campaign and to refer to nearly everything that was done against his candidacy. From ft literary standpoint it is one of tho most perfect speeches he ever made. Already thousands of Breckinridge’s supporters have signided their intention tlou of voting for Judge George Denny, tho Republican nominee, and today’s speech will have 1 tendency ,0 drive many strong Breckinridge men to Denny’s support The closing sen tences of ids speech breathe the spirit of die man as well ns Ids supporters. They are ns follows: “I know not what the .future has in store for 1110 nor am I disquieted thereby - . ' There is n work somewhere anjift will come to me at the- proper Jihie. 1 carry into It the fruitful- Influence that your friendship -in-cates to be worth of your conUdenca to justify your friendship; and you meed no promise tlh-at I will so 'live.

THE MESSENGER'S &TORY. “When the train was stopped.” says Crutchfield, "I opellL-il tlie door of lay car. Tlie.robher fired a shot at me. I dodged back nnd closed the door. Ho called .out: ‘open that door.’ I did not do It. ’Open that dour or I'll blow the whole d—d car to nieces with dy namite.* "Then ho threw a stick of dynamite.
