Of CARRYING the State for their ticket. In 1886. they
nominated Richard NJ. Johnson to carry Kentucky,

almost everywhere else. In 1849, they nominated
Gen VIM. 0. Butler. and failed to carry Kentucky,

ted John G. Breckenridge and they will again fail
most ingloriously everywhere. Thus, upon the three
