Ex-Governor Blackburn, Of Kentucky,
next spoke. For a while the Republl-
CANS said We were cowards," said he, "but
I beg my couutrymen tonight to look
into the chambers Of their consciences and

passed tax reduction bill, which Re-
publican Senate dares not touch. Loud
cheers) We were involved in issues, not
dangerous, but issues that were conflicting.
