MRS MORToN's CONCLUSION.
Last, we are here to affirm that we
believe this result the vindication of
the Ashland district) can best be
secured by the nomination of Hon.
w. c. Owens. Enthusiastic APP
plause.)
We all know Of him, if we do not
know him personally. And as it is
always our highest pleasure to praise
rather than criticise adversely, we
want to say something about this
Franklin county boy.
Reared in the simple home of a
Kentucky farmer. orphaned early in
life, he began to make his way up by
his talent, industry. sobriety and self
contained dignity. He was not soft
ened by indulgence and luxury, nor
made effeminate and deceitful by the
polish Of fashionable drawing rooms,
nor spoiled or made brazenly vain by
the applause of college assemblies
and literary clubs. applause
He impresses one as having been
stamped in the mold Of natures noble
men.
Handsome as a Roman Tribune
ever was. elegant in stature and sol
dierly in bearing, talented and
cultured, he would seem to be fitted
especially to represent this district at
Washington.
From those who have known him
in the home of his adoption, George
town, and who have seen him every
day for years, we hear he is a kind
son and brother. a loyal friend, an
honest as well as astute lawyer, emf
nent in his profession. and cour-
teOus, generous gentleman at all
From this standpoint, which is a
noble vantage ground for any man,
it would not seem that we could ask
Of this district, always prodigal of
talented men a finer specimen of
mankind for our Representative in
Congress. Applause
AS some of You. may know. years
ago he was member of the Legisla-
ture and the Speaker of the House.
and our memory fails to recall his
superior, if ever his equal, in presid-
ing over that notably turbulent body
the House Of Representatives. His
matchlesS tact, his fine common sense,
and his superb management as a par
limentarian and Legislator. we have
never seen surpassed by any man.
Applause. And we have been TAX
ing notes of the prominent men in
the Legislature for many years.
Then. there is this thing, which we
hope no one Of us who loves Frankfort
will ever forget. He helped us keep
the Capital when threatened with re-
moval. He, like us, loved his own
native city among the green hills.
He was not willing to see its property
deprecated and its public buildings
despoiled, it's rights to the Capital
trampled upon, and its ancient title
clouded and disputed, or ever appro-
priated by her queenly rivals for the
honor Of being the seat Of govern
ment i'm the grand Commonwealth f
Kentucky.
He was our valiant benefactor in
that dark hour. He dashed to the
dus. all self .,h onsitieratior VIII, h
usually control politicians, and gave
his time, his talent and his boundless
influence to help to secure forever to
the people Of Frankfort the Capital
they had thrice bought and held for a
hundred years.
All honor to him. Let us hail him
now with grateful pride, the next
congressman for the Ashland district.
