Louisville. Ky. Aug. 29.-The special
committee appointed few days ago by
the democratic central state COM
mittee 10 find a way out of the
difficulties caused by the decIara-
tion OF P. w. Hardin, the nominee
for governor, in favor Of free silver coin
age. issued a rather remarkable address
tonight to the democratic voters of the
state. It is signed by Charles r. Long.
Gen. ]. b. Castleman. Urty Woodson and
others. and is as follows:
I'm obedience to the resolution recently
adopted by the state central committee.
the undersingned earnestly appeal to the
patriotism, loyalty and devotion of the
Democratic party in the interest Of good
government and the prosperity and well
fare OF the people Of Kentucky to give
their united and hearty support to tho
ticket and platform made by the party at
the June convention held in this city.
Whatever opinions you may hold as to
economic questions. whatever differences
there may exist relative thereto we earn-
estly and sincerely ask you to lay them
on the alter Of the party for its safety and
success and unite in one great effort to
defeat the Republican party and it's nom-
inees
'The people OF Kentucky surely do not
want TO try the dangerous experiment OF
turning over state and local affairs to the
Republican party. nearly one-half OF
which is composed OF the negro vote. The
present peaceful and social conditions OF
the state demand at your hands the elec-
tion OF democratic nominees
'The administration of affairs Of state
by the Democratic party commends itself
to all good citizens and is a potent reason
why the Republican party should not
come into power with its well known meth
DDS and policies based upon its history as
a party.
The people OF Kentucky are more in
terested in an honest and proper admin
istration Of the state government, as given
and guaranteed by the Democratic party,
than In any other question affecting the
campaign, and especially when this one
disturbing question may be fought out and
settled upon national grounds.
I'VE plead for harmony, charity and
forbearance Tor broadness Of thought and
utterance, in a spirit of conciliation, on
the part Of the press of the state and OF
every democratic voter throughout the
state for their united action and support
Of the entire ticket and platform.
-
Gratis, that confronts US Is: Shall tho
Democratic party or the Republican party
control the governmental affairs of KEN
tucky? You must answer the question:
at the polls In November next. We have
abiding faith In your wisdom and good
sense, and believe you VIII roll up the
old-time decisive majority for our nomi-
nees, and that there will be no laggards
or sulkers on the day Of election"
