counties of Bath, Menifee, Mont
gomery and Rowan.
Judge B. f. Day is a native Of
Morgan county. Ky. At the age
of fifteen he joined the Confcdcr-
ate army and for three years sup
ported the Lost Cause" to the
best of his youthful ability. AT
ter the war he returned home, and
upon reaching his majority re-
moved to Menifee county, where,
by his application and sound tai
cnts, he soon became IL social, pro-
fessional and political leader, hay
ing taken up the practice of law.
He was elected County Judge Of
Menifee two terms, serving eight
years in the office. lie removed to
Mt. Sterling in 1882, where he
quickly took rank as one of the
leading attorneys. He represented
that Legislative district, composed
of the counties of Montgomery,
Menifee, Powell and Wolfe, two
years in the Ky. General Assembly.
Judge Day has now been an at
torney in active practice for twen-
ty-siX years. The practical eX-
perience and the knowledge of law
he has gained in that time emf
nently qualify him for the Office CT
Circuit Judge. He is in the prime
of life, active and vigorous physic
\ ally and mentally, and capable of
\ giving the best service of a trained
Judge of law, mature in experience
and at a discreet, conservative time
sof life.
! Politically he has always been II
Democrat and is still a devoted ad-
herent of the party Of Jefferson. II
he should be given the nomination
he would carry the ful! strength of
the party, and probably on account
of hls personal popularity would
draw upon the opposition for
many votes. Personally he is one
of the most sociable of men, n good
mixer, who likes to move among
all sorts of people, and does so
without in the least detracting
from the dignity of his character.
II JUDGE c. w. GooDPAsTER.-Iff
| this issue will be found the ana
nouncement of Judge c. w. Good
paster as a candidate for the Dem
ocratic denomination for Circuit
Nudge in this 1.-THE 2lst) district.
Judge Webb Goodpaster was
born and reared in Owingsville and
has resided here nearly his entire
life. He was educated at Bath
Seminary and Kentucky Universi-i
ty. Shortly after reaching his
majority he took up the study of
law, reading here with some of the
loading members of tho noted old
| Owingsville Bar, and afterwards
with Hon. VIM. Ii. Wadsworth, I'M
MaysvIlle. AS youth he was of
marked mental aptitude and whenl
he left college had laid the founda-
tions of liberal education broad
and deep, upon which he has since
built a structure of solid and use
full learning, In the knowledge of
law, as in polite learning, he has,
acquired what Ts substantial and
practical rather than snowy super
facilities. Hence he has a pro-
found knowledge of the principles
of law, and his relatively long le-
gal practice has made him ready
in applying them. He is iii the
full maturity of his powers, being
about forty years of age. He has
6long ranked as one of the leading
Emembers of the Owingsville Bar
and has enjoyed lucrative prac-
tice. FHe served two terms Of four
years each as County Judge of
1 Bath, and observant citizens pro-
nounce him to have been the best
County Judge that Bath ever had,
his business qualifications, natural
conservatism and considerate care
of the taxpayers interests causing
him to exert a wholesome and eco
nomical influence in fiscal matters,
while his judicial fairness and
knowledge of law made the admin
istration of justice in his court ac-
curate and satisfactory.
Judge Goodpaster has always
been a Democrat, and has given
freely of his services as speaker
] and worker in campaigns. He has
never been a candidate for office
except the two times he was elected
County Judge. His friends and
supporters feel that he is entitled
to this nomination as Bath ceunty's
candidate, since Bath never has
furnished Circuit Judge to any
of the districts to which she has
belonged and has always assisted
substantially to elect the Demo
cratic nominees for that Office.
And, besides, he is the peer of any
aspirant in the district, worthy of
the office on the Jeffersonian
grounds of honesty and capability,
and a man who will fill it with
honor to himself and the district
