ADDRESS TO TIE DEMOCRACY oE KEN
TUCKY.
The Democratic State Central Com
mittee bcgs to address the Demo-
Gratis of Kentucky few words of
cheer and hope. In the bare face of
nearly twenty four years of Republic
can maladministration of the politi-
cal affairs of our great republic con-
sists the strongest argument to indiv-
idual Democrats to leave no honest
effort untried to secure change of
party's domination, and thereby Il
change of policy and of methods.
Our party in National Convention
assembled at Chicago last week, after
four days spent in interchange Of
opinion by the delegates, consisting
of many of the ablest veteran Demo-
Gratis Of the country, and witness by
the largest assemblagc of people
ever assembled at convention on
this continent, presented to the coun-
try q platform of principles upon
which every honest patriot can
stand, and named rs its candidate
for President gentleman of tran
sccndant ability, and well approved
official ami whole past life efforts
the strongest guaranty Of his adhc
sion to the principle and practice o.
administrative reform; while th'
second place on the ticket wa
given to an illustrious citizen o
the republic, who has once hereto
5 fore been elected to the high office o
= Vice President, but who was fraud
o ulently deprived of his seat by tn
] Republican members Of packc,
t court, melted thereto and protccte'
therein by the mailed hand of militia
~ power. AS hundreds of Wings il
Kentucky voted for Andrew Jackson
' i'm 1928, because OF their sense of fai
> play, and their resentment that h
!, was not declared by the House q
. Representative entitled to the Prcsi
b. dency, to which they had felt he ha
;, been elected in 1924, so will the pend
ulum Of public justice swing to Nj
Hendricks thousands of honest indie
o pendent votes in 1884, and fix hin
Il firmly in his Office in the Office
p which he was elected in 1876, an
J. from which he will not be ousted b
e the decree of another Rcpublica
u court, which, instead of registerin
d as an award of justice, entered til
mandate of party caucus. Repul
lies may be sometimes ungratefu
l. but never deliberately unjust
" In behalf of honest taxation in be
half of administrative reform an
=, honest and scrupulous political metl
dds, we beg of you to give yourselve
at once to the task oforganizing Clev,
land and Hendricks Clubs in yol
respective counties, precincts, all
neighborhoods; invite compariso
. of candidates and a discussion
:, platform principles with the encm
lay aside all mere personal and mint
differences, and, with hearty GOO
- will and entire harmony Of purpo'
20 unite and put fourth your best eflor
- in August and November, and
20 glorious victory awaits you.
