An interesting colloquy arose, however,
between Congressman Berry. of the
Sixth District. and Judge James T.
Tarvin. of Covington, over the contest
in Campbell and Kenton counties
where tie Hardin delegates were UNI
seated in favor of Goebels men. Eer-
~ championed the Hardin men and
Judge Tarvin vigorously attacked his
Democracy. accusing him OF being un-
faithful to Bryan and silver.

Resolutions was then read.
THE PLATFORM.
The platform. which was written by
Judge James =. Tarvin, of Covington,
contains the following:
The Democrats of Kentucky i'm con
vention assembled. re-afiirm. without
the slightest qualifications the princi-
pies and policies declared in the Dem
ocratic National platform adopted at
Chicago in 1896.
our faith in bimetallsm is vindicat-
ed by events. The necessity for the
restoration of the double standard was
acknowledged by the President ana
Congress in 1S97. when commission
was sent To Europe to entreat other ma
lions to aid in establishing bimetal-
ism, and the failure of the commission
firms the friends of free coinage in
Their belief that relief can only come
by the independent action of the Uni
ted State. The present legal ratio of
10 to is the only ratio at which bj
meiallism can be restored and opposi-
ton to 1t Is confined 10 those who on
pose bimetallism at any ratio. and To
those who nisapprehend or ignore the
reasons which led three national con-
Vcntions to adopt it.
THE TRUST.
I'VE believe the trust is the result IN
large measure. of the policies adoutad
and pursued by the Republican nart,,
chief among which are The demonetI,a
ton of silver by which the volume az
currency has been kept below the d.
mands of business. end the enaci,nnnt
and enforcement OF vicious. unwise ana
unpatriotic legislation, such as the nro-
tectiVe tariff laws known. as the Mo
Kinley and Dingley bills. whereby
there is n discrimination in favor or
corporate wealth ana against indivijuol
enterprise. We favor the destruction Of
the result as we'll as the removal of the
causes. The re-estabishmcnt of indie
pendent bimetallism at IL to / and the
repeal Of all protective tariff laws
would DO moro 10 cripple ana DESTROY
me organization and operations of the
trusts than any other laws.
kENTUCKY'S ANTITRUST LAW
I'VE holievc the law in Kentucky
Known rs the antitrust law should hn

thereby be fixed controlled or reglia-
