Instructs For Green and Endorses the
Chicago Platform.

Chicago Platform.
The Democratic mass convention
Saturday afternoon instructed 70
Robt. L. Green, Of Frankfort, TO
Clerk Of the Court of Appeals. Blu
little interest was taken in the rae,
up to the day Of the convention.
Saturday morning it was made
public that Mr.. Green had promised
to allow the delegation from this
county to name Mr.. Jouett Henry as
deputy'in the event of his election
if he was given the vote Of Christian
county. This with the active support
Of several influential citizens soon sci
the tide so strongly towards Green
that it was evident when the conven-
ton met that the county would GO
for him. The names of Mr.. Sam j
Shackelford, of Daviess, and Mr. j.
D. Watson, of Daviess, were placed
before the convention, but the vote
for Green was overwhelming.
The convention was organized with
Judge j. T. Hanbery as Chairman
and t, E. BARLEY and Walker Wood
as Secretaries, by general agreement.
The following resolution being the
platform adopted by the district con-
vention at Murray, was offered by
Chas NJ. Meacham and unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That we reafirm our al
leGla0ce to the principles of the Dem
Ocrdtlc party as expressed in the Chi
cago platform of 1896, and call upon
ali Democrats who may differ upon
any Of the principles therein enun-
ciated to unite in the coming state,
district and county campaigns, to the
end that the party may be restored
to power, and win an old time victo-
ry."
Having ascertained the sense of the
convention, the following resolution
offered by Mr., Hunter Wood was
adopted:
Resolved, That the chairman of
this convention be directed to name
sixteen Democrats of Christian couu-
ty as delegates and sixteen as alier-
mates to cast the vote of Christian
county in convention which meets at
Frankfort, KY, on June 2, 1897, for
the purpose of nominating candidate
for the Clerk of the Court of Appeals
of Kentucky, and the delegates so
named are hereby instructed to cast
the vote of Christian County in said
convention for r, L. Green, of Frank
lin county, and use all honorable
means to secure his nomination"
Chairman Hanbery appointed the
following delegates to cast the coun-
ty's votes:
