COUNTY POLITICS.
Bad Faith of Republican County Candi-
dates.

dates.
The following agreement was m ide
and entered into October It'll, 1897.
This agreement between. the r.
publican and Democratic County can
didates of Christian county Kentucky
witnesseth: That the ,epubicau
candidates agree to cancel all APP
pointments for speaking now made
and agree to make no further dates
for speaking and agree to make no
public speeches in any part of said
county for this campaign and the said
Democrat, candidates also agree and
bind themselves to make no appoint
ments for speaking and to make no
public speeches in any part of said
county during the campaign. But
nothing in this agreement is to pre-
vent any electioneering or hand shak
ing on the part of any candidate OF
either party. This the 7th day OF
October, 1897. JoHN p PRowsE, for
the Republican candidates. Z. D.
BELL, for the Democratic candidates"
Plain and unequivocal as the above
agreement is and supposedly made
in good faith, it was scarcely made
and published before these me men
at once arranged for secret meetings
of colored voters in all parts of the
county, where some Of the Republi
can candidates not only announced
themselves, but made speeches in
open violation of their agreement and
in bad faith toward their opponents.
These meetings are held nightly in
colored school houses and barns for
the purpose of arousing race preju'
dice and bemeaning the most con
slant friends of the colored people.
Since the first violation of the
agreement, the Democratic candidates
have attended these meetings where
ever the places have been found out,
vet they have never been invited to a
single meeting, and at Lafayette Mr.
Kelly WAS after much wrangling
scarcely permitted to announce him
self From such methods the Dem
ocratic candidates appeal to the lib
eral and honest voters Of Christian
county to Judge of their personal fit
ness for public office and puelic
trust.
We now appeal to patriotism and
not race prejudice, to philanthropy
and not the bloody shirt, to stand by
the Democratic ticket, because in il
we have a promise of reform and bet
ter things which will redouud to the
welfare of our already tax ridden and
badly governed county.
Respectfully,
Democratic Campaign Committee

All of the Democratic and National
Party organs of Louisville are boldly
claiming the election of Charlie
Weaver as Mayor. The Critic sums
up the situation as follows:
"Only one more week remains in
which to discuss the issues of this
campaign. The fight is practically
over. The battle is won. 1t is VIC
tory for good government. There
can be but one result when the law
abiding people are aroused to sense
of impending danger. 1t means the
overthrow of the vicious and the law
less. In ordinary political contests
the business men too often stay at
home and leave matters in the hands
of the rabble. But with the spectacle
of Toddism Haunting It's noisome
presence before their eyes, they have
been Impressed with the necessity of
from the control of public
affairs the desperate gang that it rep
re sents."
