KrNTuoKY DEMOCRATS. IN

The platform in part IS adopted by
the Kentucky State Democratic Con
vention without @ dissenting vote 10 As
follows:
First. The Democrats Of Kentucky
in convention assembled reafhrm,wi
out the slightest qualification, the
principles and policies declared In tie
Democratic national platform adopted
at Chicago in 1896.
Our faith in bimetallism is vindicat
cd BY events. The necessity for the
restoration OF the double standard was
acknowledged by the President and
Congress in 1897, when commission
Was sent to Europe to sntreat other
nAtions to aid in est Ablishing bime'
iallisn, and the failure Of the COM
mission to secure European co-"pera-
ton, confirms the friends of free co n
age in their belief that relief can OILY
come by the independent. action OF
the United States. The present legal
ratio Of 16 to is the only ratio Al
which bimstallism can be restored, and
opposition to it is confined to those
who oppose blmetallism at any ratio
and to those who misapprehend OF
ignore the reasons which lei three
national conventions to adoptit.
Second. We denouncs the present
Republican national odministra' ion
for it's reckless extravaganza in the
conduct Of public affairs; for its cruel
and inhu~An neglect in its treatment
Of our soldiers and sailors during the
late spsnish war: for its complete
subordinAt.on to the interest OF Or
ganizsd wealth; for its protection and
encouragement Of trusts and combine
tons; and especially for its appoint
ment and retention in Office Of an At
tornsy General devoted to the interests
Of trusts and combinations.

Trusts, he said, will form more i'm
portant feature in the next campaign than
ever before, for the reason that there are
more trusts and combines OF greater impor-
lance. The Democratic party believes that
the trust should be annhilated, the term
trust" being used to describe form OF
corporate wealth which monopolIzes the pro-
ductlon Of any article Of commerce"
mo better illustration OF the absolute inde-
feasibility Of trusts can be offered than the
Ohio Republicans Convention, Of which
Mark Hanna was the manager, was com.
PEELED to denounce them. If the Republican
party goes into the campaign denouneinf
