DEMOCRATS.
What They Think of the st.
Louis Platform ia Kentucky.
SOLID FOR OUR TICKET.
Kentucky Will Go Republican by
Thirty Thousand
Majority.

If ''Ths ST.. Louis Cyclone struck Mai
G street With great force. The whole bust
q ness community has gone for McKin
ley and sound money" and there ar
- very few who are going 80 vote th
+ Democratic tickee next fell. Faer
] seems to be no surprise st the result
2 but general feeling of relief Cha5 th'
: suspense is over and she policy OF th'
next administration is thus clearly enC
satisfactorily defined This approval Of
the st. Louis platform 3 not coDfnsc
to few advanced thinkers among the
Democrats, bus it is so-univers8l that
isis hard to find Democrat who dis
approves the currency declaration, which
all admit is the overshedowing issue in
this pars of the country. The free silver
men, aud there are few of them, are
equally pleased with the result at ST..
Louis, but Cor very different reason.
Mr.. Win Cornwell said yesterday that
the Republicans had done just what he,
SIS free silver Democrat, wanted them
to do. They had declared for the gold
standard, and thus raised distinct
issue about which there could be no
confusion.
Presidents Hector V. Loving, OF the
Louisville Trust Company, said: "The
reeu!s st S.. Louis is just what ez-
pected, end the platform is all that
could be asked. And sm glad that it
declares in favor OF revision OF the
tariff, go as to raise revenue sufficient
for she needs OF the Governments. The
| St. Louis s!ckeb will win ia November
The business men are all for To-"
Mr. John W. B arr, who, of course, as
| a Rspu blican, said: III is as clear
declaration OF sound money as could
have been dsmRnded think it will
win"
Byron Bacon, the weII-known lawyer.
said: sour stand on straight gold
platform will split the Democratic par
ty wide open There may be some sill
yer men left IN the Republican party
but shey value the tariff issue more
than silver, and the tariff will win.
Every Democrat who is for sound mon
sy will vote the RsPu bhcan ticket, and
it will win hands down. The currency
is the biggest issue since the war, and
whenever you fad a sound money
Democrat you find man who has
sense. The Democratic party is not
party OF principle, Tut OF sentiment
here in Kentucky. The people OF this
State have never been recresnt to
Henry Clay and protection and now
they are tired Of sentiment. When
Kentucky voted into effect the new CON
stitution with the secret ballot, 1 said,
Democracy is gone.'
Henry Bishop and Presidents P. Wig
lini were found st the German Bank. |
Mr.. Viglini said: "The platform suits US
exactly. If the Democrats make free
silver platform ell the sound money
Democrats in Kentucky will vote the
Republican ticket"
MIR. Bishop said: Il would rather have
Tom Reed, but ths platform is all |
right"
Capt. John II. Lsathsrs, cashier of
the Louisville Banking Company, Pre-
sident of the Confederate Veterans AS
ISOLATION, and one of the leading Dem
oorats Of Louisville, said: 81 am sound |
money man and expect 80 vote for
sound money platform. I WON'T vote
for free silver man OF free silver
platform under any circumstances. I
consider the S.. Louis platform thor
oughly sound; and let me add that 1
am more interested in the business in
teFests of this country now than 1 am
in politics."
Mr.. John D. Taggart, President of
the Fidelity Trust Company, and life
long Democrat, said: 1--WE think il is
such platform as ought to be adopted;
such as will cause improvement in
business here, and give US very much
for the world 80 see shat the people are
for sound money"
Viee-President John Sites, of the
said: "The money plank is all
that any prudent man can ask. If the
Democrats put up free silver plat
form with free silver candidate, Nc
K;nley Will carry kentucky; by 10000
msjority.'
Col. Tom Ballitt, whose Democracy
and public standing are too we'll known
to permits OF any words OF introduction,
said: The st. LOUIS platform on the
gold aud oliver question meets my
hearty approval; 90 the tariff il does
not; and on foreign affairs it is very
'jingoieh.' fully concur in what Mr..
Teggart sBys, and I will add that the
sound money question 1 consider as of
first and OF most vital Importance in this
country now, and for this reason [ re-
greet tbs extreme measures proposed in
the platform on come other II astere.'
Mr. William A. Robinson, of the
r obineon. Pettettet Drug Compap
said: 81 think the ST.. Louis conven-
ton did exactly the wise thing; it ected
wisely and for the best interests of she
country If the Democrats insert any
thing approaching free and unlimited
I expect to vote for the Repub-
loan nominee. consider the currency
question as she foremost issue now.
We can have no prosperity without q
sound currency, and the principles
anuncated by the Republicans are just
!
