We he'd a consultashen at the Corners
last week at witch WIZ discussed the past,
present and future Nv the Dimncrlsy. Bits-
com remarked that it wood take long time
to go over the past NV the party, but from
present appearances he WIZ Nv the opinion
that its fucher Good be fully discussed III Il
mint or two. [ rebuul1t him for his at
teplptid levity.
The meetn wuznt eggsackly lovefeast.
nor VT a revival, but it partO"k largely NV
the general appearance and feel NV tune-
roll There wnz ON the faces Nv all present
sort Nv suhdood sadnls, kind NV de
spairin hopelsniS and forced resignation

sekence. standin on trap door, in com
panv with a sheriff, a clergyman, doctor
or two. and the committee witch he'd bin
appointed to see that he WIZ properly
hung.
1t WIZ decided that what allied the De
mocrisy wuz its close adherence t" dead
shoos, its general clngin to the dead past
and its stubborn refpOSal to accept the IN
evitable. | made that last remark, and 1t
struck responsive chord i'll all their
bosoms Deekin Pogram didn't hev the
faintest idea wat the inevitable WIZ, but
he sed he WIZ ready to accept 1t, and
BascOm, who spOsed that it wuz ruther
opposed to the credit system, sed it wuz
wat he he'd bin clamoring for for years,
we agreed that the time had come when
the DimOcrisy shood cut loose from the
dead past, accept the inevitable, and grid
up her lOins for grapple with the live
present and the kickin fucher. We deter
mined that we wood bury in deep grave
all the lumber that he'd impeded our on
ward movements. and THROWN ourselves
into the ranks Nv progress, keep close up
eff not fetch ahead-uv the prOgresslvest.
And we appointed meetin at wich to en-
nunciate these new views. and appointed
committees to draft resolOOshens expressive
Nv EN-. That meetin WIZ held last nite,
and the following whereases and resOlOO-
witch animated it:
Wareas, The necessities Nv the times de-
mand the continuance in life Nv the Dino
kratic party; and
Wareas. 1t can't be expected that party
kin live forever on wat it hez bin; and
Wareas, The times demand progress and
the very Invest nv our live idees; and
Wareas. The Dimokratic party is a party
NV progress, it bein only necessary for her
to cut from her shoulders the load wich hez
borne her down, that she may be free and
unembarrassed to run new race NV juve-
natid life: and
Wareas, We desire to cut loose from the
dead past and accept the inevitable, that
we may be abreast Nv the most progressive.
we, therefore, adopt the tollowin ez the
platform NV principles Nv the progressive
Dimokratic party NV Kentucky:
Resolred. That the DlmOcrisy OF Ken
lucky bein party Nv progress and re-
FORM refoOses to turn its face backward
refooses 10 consider the dead past. or to
deal with any but live ishoOs, does hereby
declare that the last war with Great Brit
ain, that NV 1912, was not only justitiable
but highly rite. and that while we denounce
with inexpressible loathng the tederalists
who opposed it. we declare the rite Nv
American vessels to sail the high seas with
out bein SUBJECTED to the annoyance NV

tutOOshnal but wuz cOmmendable.A

and thereby electin A. Linkin to the Pres

damnabe.
Resolred. That we desire to bury dead
ishoos, but we do assert that the war agin
the Southern States. inoggerated by A
Linkin and carried on by the Ablishnists
was heenyus and damnable, and the pro-
gressiye Dimocrisy Of Kentucky hereby
pledge themselves to urge an undyin war
agin all concerned in it forever, and to be-
queath this undyin hate to their children
and childrens children to the latest gener-
ashun.
Resolred. That turnin orr faces to the
fucher, we do assert African slavery was
not only Biblikle, but WIZ RELY for the best
interests Nv both the African and the eau
cashun and that in emancipatin the slaves
A. Linkin and his Ablshn coadusors not
only struck blow at revealed religion, but
staggerin one at the material interests NV
our beloved country.
Resolred. That while we accept the inev-
table we declare the Atrikin to be the in

permit the niger to vote, but to make eligi-
BILE to jOory dooty, and to offs, is one wch
no progressive Dimokrat kin entertain for a
mint.
Resoirrd, That the progressive Dimocrisy
do hereby enter their solemn protest az in
the payment wv the debt incurred in the
prosekooshen NV an unholy war, and do
Il oil tl,n ,l,1,n an
evidences Nv that debt Ell Nv no more bindin
force than waste paper

in Delaware to abolish the whippin post in

Resoired That the opprcst whites Nv the
Southern States wich are compelled to live
under the rOOl NV niggers and demOralizn
Northern whites, hev the liveliest sympathy
Nv the progressive DimOcrisy NV Kentucky,
and while we do not approve NV violence eZ
a rod, we will say Godspeed to the Ku-

nounce President Grant for his unwarrant
able interference with them.
Resolced. That the civil rites bill now bein

will never submit.
