Mr.. V. G. Baggage leading DEM
ocrat of our county and free silver
man, went out to West View recently
to instruct the people how to vote.
They were told by him that in Bryan
and the Democratic party lay the on
ly salvation Of the country. Col. V.
B. Burton hearing OF Mr.. Babbage's
excursion, boldly buckled on his ar
NOR and followed him. They met in
political combat before an audience of
men. women and children, and we are
told that Babbage was utterly annihi-
lated'by the Republican champion.
SPLIT IN TwAIN:-The Democratic
party Of this county is divided. The
rank and file accepted Bryan and the
Chicago Platform. From the begin
ming however there has been mutter-
ings of discomfort. Many Democrats
in this county advocate sound money.
If Democrats at Chicago had content
ed themselves with declaring for free
coinrge OF silver at IS to I, and had
declared for all other Democratic prin-
ciples, nearly all the Democrats of
this county would vote the ticket.
But the principles that the Democrat
ic party has been advocating 70. one
hundred years have been ignored by
the free silver element in that Party.
AS result OF all this, many of the
most prominent Democrats in this
county have denounced the Chicago
Platform as undemocratic, and boldly
proclaim that they cannot and will
not support Mr. Bryan. Some state
they will support Mr. Mckinley,
while others will insist on a sound
money Democratic ticket a most
significant feature OF this bolt in the
Democratic party is the character of
these men who refuse to support
Bryan. They are the leading men
not only in their party, but also in
the comfy. Among these men are
Mr.. w. J Dean Jr., OF Glendean, who
ranks among the leading business
men OF the county; Hon. w. K.
Barnes an able lawyer and once
Chairman oil the Democratic county
committee; Mr. Il. F Beard. President
of the Bank OF Hardinsburg, and who
was deleg ate from this district to
the Democratic National Convention
at Chicago in 1892; Mr.. A. B Skill.
man Cashier of the Breckenridge
Bank at Glover port aud number of
other prominent gentlemen whose in
flu@nce is great. These mes cannot
support Mr. Bryan. 1t is said that
at the battle OF Waterloo. Lord Well
ingtOn said to one Of hi7 officers:
1.-THE hemori hage oithe English army
is terrible; would God that Bleucher
one night would come" So it is
with the Democratic party. Her
Best men are iepudiating the Chicago
plotform and the candidates who
stand IN it. 1t can be said that the
hemorihagc Of the Democratic party
is fatal it is draining her lie blood.
Night the night Of defeat and disas-
ter-is surely awaiting Bryan and the |
vicious principles he represents.
Mckinley is marching on |
to victory. Bryan and his auarchis.
