One Of the most earnest addresses Nc
Kinley has delivered was in response to
General Theodore i. Land who spoke
for the Maryland visitors.
Speech number was delivered to a
small delegation OF the employees Of the

la his address to the Louisville delega-
ton Mckinley said:
~ can not refrain from congratuldting
the men here ssembled-republicans and
denocrats-on the signal success they
achieved last year in the election of Gov
ernor Bradley to the chief executive office
OF that state. 1t was given to your state
to be the first in the fight for honest mon
ey and the gold standard. Your campaign,
as | recall 1t. was waged, to a great de-
gree, upon the lines OF the present ma
tional campaign. Great prominence was
given to the question of whether the free
and unlimited coinage of silver should re-
eeiye the approval OF the people of (en-
lucky, or whether the present monetary
standard and financial system of the gov
eminent Of the United States should he
continued Your distinguished governor
contributed much TO illuminate the sub
ject and help the rightful settlement of
the question. He was aided by the lead
ing democrats of the state, both IN the
direction and In the battle OF ballots,
which ended trlumphantly for the cause
for which he stood, and the cause for
which all Of US stand as a national party
this year
To Kentuckans, therefore, the iues-
tion would seem to be closed, for 1t can
hardly be doubted that the verdict which
she rendered in that memorable cam
paign will be repeated this year with even
greater and more signal force. You are
TO be congratulated that you have in the
great secretary of the treasury dlstn-
guished citizen of your state the Hon
John G. Carlisle, whose devotion to sound
money has been demonstrated by his
courage, and whose stand for the credit
and honor OF the government commands
almost universal praise.
1T is u singular fact, gentlemen, that
the Chicago democratic convention makes
Its assault, not against the republican
party, but against its own administration
They make no assault against the repub-
iean doctrine Of protection, which Henry
Clay so long and ably supported. and In
none Of their speeches do they suggest
how they viii raise the necessary revenue
to run the government"
