Campaign humor and a Senate clash in 1881 Kentucky
In 1881 Ben Hardin sought re election to the Senate facing challenger Mr Stillwell Heady of Spencer County. Heady once served in the Lower House and was noted for conviviality and song. The piece recalls a Boston Nelson county campaign speech interruption and Hardins witty defense about attendance and duties, ending with a humorous quip on the eleventh hour wage analogy. It also contains a stray medical ad about castor oil and cholera infantum remedies.
