Hon. w. ID. Bynum. Louisville. KY:
Your telegram inviting me TO attend
the meeting at Louisville today has been
forwarded to me atuthis place, and
greatly regret my inability to accept.
The conservative and patriotic declar-
alton of the Indianapolis convention on
the public questions invo-ved In the
pending contest and the high character
OF its nominees cannot fail TO arouse
the real Democratic sentiment or the
country and command the hearty sup
port of all who sincerely believe In the
preservation of the public honor, the
public peace and the stability and value
of the currency used by our people.
I am proud TO take my stand with
the old d-sashioned Democrats who have
refused to sbandon their honest con-
victions in order to form unnatural al
liances with political and social organ
izations whose purposes are dangerous
to the country, and wholly inconsistent
with the fundamental principles OF our
party, and pledge to you and your as
sociates such support and assistance as
can properly give during the campaign.
J. G.. CARLISLE.
