GOV. BRADLEY DENOUNCED.
Citizens of Frankfort indignant at His
Outrageous Action.

Frankfort, Ky, March 16.-There was
not standing room in the court house
when the indignation meeting was cali
ed to order to protest against the action
of Governor Bradley in calling out the
troops. Mayor Julian called the meet
ing to order, and made a speech in
which he told of his conference with
Governor Bradley, in which he had as
sured the executive that he would give
ample protection, and characterized
the Governors action in calling out the
troops as highly partisan and unbecom-
ing a Governor. sEx-Attorney General
Henrick nominated Judge Lysander
Hoard as chairman of the meeting, in
a speech in which he scored the action
of the Governor.
Judge Hoard took the chair and there
was a wild burst of applause. Speeches
were made by Col. +. H. Taylor, .and
others, denouncing the action Of Gov
ernor Bradley in severe terms.

in this resolution was composed of SEN
ators Goebel, Bronston, McChord, Sims,
Gross and Fulton.
President Worthington, Of the Sen
ate, testified before the committee this
afternoon, that he would have counted
