KENTUCKY RADICALS.
n Large Amount of Buster and Bragg for
a Bob Tail Party.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April lO-The Republican
State convention here to-day was very largely
attended. Hon. Jno. d. White, memorable as
the only Republican who has represented Ken
tucky in Congress for many years, presided as
chairman. Walter Evans received the nomlna-
tion for Governor, defeating Ell, H. Murray.
suffering defeat by union of all the elements
of opposing strength. The speeches were all
ultra in tone, and the resolutions which follow
were adopted with wild enthusiasm:
The Republicans of Kentucky contemplate
with pride the history and achievements of the
Republican party of the United States. We
hold up to the world the record it has made,
both in war and in peace. We do not ask that
any of it be forgotten. On the contrary, we
point to its great deeds and recall them to re-
membrance; the suppression of armed rebel
lion, and its unparalleled magnanimity to those
who attempted to overthrow the Union; the
emancipation and enfranchisement of an en-
shaved race; its determined purpose to honestly
pay the national debt the skill and prudence
| of its financial mana2 2ement and it's steadfast
purpose that justice and right shall be done to
| all citizens, under the law, without distinction
! of race, color, or previous condition of servi-
tude.
We firmly adhere to the principles declared
by the Republican party in the platform adopt
people of all classes as matter of the first ne
cesslty to the welfare of the State, and it is a
wise and most economical use of the public re-
sources to advance to the highest efficiency our
| common school system, and we pledge our
hearty support to any scheme of public schools
| that will advance this end.
| convention should be called at the earliest
practicable time to revise and amend our State
! constitution, and we urge upon all the people
! Of the State the duty of voting on all proper
| occasions in favor of calling such convention.
We condemn in the strongest terms the gross
Encouragement of public affairs in Kentucky
by the Democratic psrty, which has had entire
control Ut the State for the pa fourteen years.
1t has failed to foster common school system
worthy of the name, and has robbed the chill
dren Of the State, and has sacrificed the impor-
tant interests of the State in internal improve
ments and while it makes boast that the
State has no debt, we have the mortifying spec
tacle of State with no public institutions.
BY u'eless and reckless extravaganza, the
current expenses of the State are nearly three
| times great as before the war, while there is
| no reason or e lcuse for these being any greater
| BY continuous appeals to the lower passions of
the populace and by the constant laudation
and encouragement of that spirit of contempt
| for constituted authority lately rampant in re-
| bellion, the people of the State have been edu-
Gated into disregard of law and order until
the good name of Kentucky has been blasted
The frequent necessity to use the militia to
suppress disorder and the lawless spirit which
| stops short of no crime from the lynching of
obscure white and colored persons to the as
sassination of judges Of the bench, is the nat
ural outgrowth of the pernicious teaching of
the Democratic party.
Ihe kepubllcan party favors and demands
such change in the conduct of our State af-
fairs as will encourage our own people to re-
main IN the State instead OF going out from
US, and induce immigration into our borders,
that our soil may be titled and our resources
developed.
While we favor economy we demand that it
be practiced in cutting off useless extrava-
gance, and we favor more generous and
liberal expenditure of the public money for
| the purpose of fostering internal welfare
and IN aiding and encouraging our citizens in
| the general betterment of the condition of the
State. 1t is cardinal principle of the Re-
publican party that the currency of the
country shall be sound and uniform in value,
regulated by the authority Of the nation and
convertible into coin at the will of the holder.
The national debt should be paid in the
most scrupulous good faith. We are proud
that the Republican party has already been
able to pay off large portion thereof and fund
the remainder at a low rate of interest.
We are proud that the Republican party in
the face of bitter Democratic opposition has
been able to resume specie payment;
|
that crculates with equal readiness
in all parts of the country, and that
if it has made such record upon financial
questions, that the whole world has an abiding
faith that SO long as it remains in power our
national credit will remain unimpaired.
Federal and State governments are parts of
one system, alike necessary for the common
prosperity, peace and security, and ought to be
regarded alike with cordial, habitual and un.
movable attachment. Respect for the author.
lty of each and acquiesence in the just consti
tutional measures of each are duties required
by the plainest consideration of national, state
and universal welfare; but the constitution and
laws of the United States made in pursuance
thereof are supreme laws, anything in the
constitution or laws of any State to the con
trary notwithstanding.
The right of the President to veto a measur,
is as clear as the rig hit of Congress to pass it
We therefore witness with indignation the law
less attempt on the part of the Democratic
Congress to coerce the President into sub
serviency to its views by the threat of with
holding appropriations. In the trying position
in which the President is thus placed he is en-
titled to the encouragement and support of al
good citizens. The declared purpose on tn
part of the Democratic members in Congress
to refuse appropriations until he yield
to their demand is revolutionary in it's spirit
and as in 1861 secession was resorted to b.
those who could not control the government
mination to rule starve the government, i
another exhibition of rebellion, and every con
slderatlon of duty to the country demands tha
the President shall resist by every constitution
al means in his power this spirit of lawlessness
The Republican party is committed to tn
doctrine that every voter is entitled to one vote
and but one. Holding this doctrine, l. stand
In no terror of those wise and timely law
enacted by Congress to secure honest elections
We have seen with pride and pleasure th
distinguished honors paid to ex-Presdent Gran
by all classes In Europe. His services in wa
and patriotism and ability in the discharge c
the high civil duties to which the confidence
his countrymen repeatedly called him, his wi
: dom, his prudence, moderation and integrity
5 character entitle him to this striking and r
markable exhibition of courtesy and respe,
. abroad and to the lasting gratitude of his ow
l people. His name and fame are lnsepal ab
s linked with most important events in our cou,
r try's history. 1t is our pleasure to thus decla
i; our admiration and esteem for him, our graf
c tude to and our confidence in him.
