Frankfort, KY, Dec. 22.-An address
to the democracy of the state, indorsing
the contest instituted by Goebel and

by former Senator Blackburn, chair
man of the state campaign committee;
Chairman Young, of the state central
and executive committees, and all of the
members of those committees.
The address claims that justice to the
party demands the contest. 1t says the

behind the returns to determine mat

~ republican counties is charged. An
other ground of contest is the alleged
use of the militia for the purpose of in
timidating voters. Railroad influence
and the corrupt use of money are
charged
