KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS
THE COMMITTEE CALLS UPON you to-
LAY ALL DIFFERENCES ON THE
PARTY ALTAR.
Harmony, Charity, Forbearanse, and Uni-7
ted Action and support for the Ticket,

The following is the address issued
to the Democracy of the state by the
state central committee:
In obedience to the resolution re-
Gently adopted by the state central
committee the undersigned earnestly
appeal to the patriotism, loyalty and
devotion of the Democratic party in
the interest of good government and
the propriety and welfare of the peo-
pie of Kentucky, to give their united
and hearty support to the tickef ar
platform made by the part 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 earnestly and sincerely
ask you to lay them on the altar of
the party, for its safety and success,
and unite in one great effort to defeat
the Republican party and its nomi-
nees.
Certainly no true Democrat desires
the election of the Republican ticket
and the defeat of the Democratic
ticket.
We should wisely bear in mind
that in the past our sister states of
the south were subjected to bitter
and degrading experience, and loss
of good government, prestige, pros
perity and wealth, under Republican
control of their state and local gov
ernment affairs, and relief came on
ly through the Democratic party COM
ing into power. 1t is a we'll known
significant fact that Northern men, or
Republicans, moving into or locating
in the Southern states soon awaken
ed to the fact and necessity, in their
own interests, of voting with the
Democratic party for control of the
state and local affairs as guacan-
tee of good government, as against
the Republican party and bad gov
ernment.
The good people of Kentucky sure
ly do not want to try the folly and
dangerous experiment of turning
over state and local affairs to the Re-
publican party, nearly one-half of

Tramp Kiled by the Cars.

DARLINGTON, KN.. Aug. 30.-An un-
known man was found dead on the
G. o. & S. w., tracks near Norton
vile this morning. The Louisville
bound passenger was brought to a
halt when the engineer saw what
looked to be the body of a man across
the track. The corpse was that of a
man seemingly about thirty-fve years
of age and dressed in suit of worn
and shabby gray jeans. A great
cash was cut across his forehead and
his body was otherwise crushed.
1t is supposed that he met his death
while stealing a ride on a freight
train by falling under the wheels, al
though it may have been that he met
with foul play. There was nothing
upon the body to aid in identifying
it. The corpse was taken on to West
Point, where coroner's inquest was
held.
