KENTUCKY DEMOCRACY.
May 9Th, 1875.

The democracy of Kentucky resolve
strongly in favor of State Rights. and
strongly against interference with their
domestic affairs. To those who know in
what manner the domestic affairs of Ken
tucky are conducted under the rule of the
Bourbon democracy, it would seem as
though the people of that State had more
reason to pray to be delivered from such
domestic government as they have, either
by outside interference or inside revolu-
ton, than to resolve In favor of it.
Kentucky is one of the most lawless
States in the Union. Brawls and murders
are everyday occurrences. The autholi-
ties are unable to keep in check the ruf-
fianly elements. One of the judges at the
opening of a term OF the court in Owen
county last year said: 81 have been
"a member of the bar sixteen years, and
..have never seen the grand jury impaneled
lin your county when the hotel and sa-
loon keepers did not send to them whis-
"key and cigars" How terrible it would
be If some outside power should interfere
to stop the allowance of whiskey and
cigars to Kentucky jurymen! Or to pre-
vent them carrying concealed deadly
weapons upon their persons! These are
some of the rights the democracy propose
to keep sacred. In the same county as
we learn from the address Of the judge
from which we have quoted above. muir
ders were committed in the streets, no
one dared condemn them, and the MUIR
derers went and came without molesta-
ton. At last State and Federal aid
both were called in to protect persons
and property. and all peaceable and
law-abiding people were glad Of their
interference. at least the judge so stated,
and we have every reason to believe he
told the truth. What mockery it APP
pears to those who know what Kentucky
democracy really is to see it resolving in
favor OF such home government as ours.
