I'm the state of Kentucky every man is
in honor bound to stand up and see that
there Ia no eondoning OF the offenses Of
those who violate the viii of the people.

discrimination against none. wish on
this point to appeal not only 20 Republi.
cans. not only to Gold Democrats. not
only TO those Silver Democrats VINO from
high and conscientious motives are with
US In this contest, but want TO appeal
the other side in the wrong that they
have done-men who are misled by the

Democrats ON Defensive.
We have reached n stage In the cam
palgn when our opponents are huslly ex-
planning their actions or their words.
MIR. Jones. the chairman of the Bryanite
Democracy. has just been explaining that
no Is not connected with trusts because
tho cotton bale trust Ia not n trust. OF
course, using the word In n technical
sense, there IL no trust In the country.
The sugar trust and the Standard oil
trusts are not technically trusts at ali.
but simply great corporations. SO the
cotton bale trust r., in the same sense OF
the word. not trust. but n corporation.
But OF course all this Is mere qnibbling.
Using the word In the popular sense, as
we generally do use Il, all these corpora
tons are trusts. II In sheer Hypocrisy
to speak OF the steel trust. the sugar
trust and the standard oil trust, and then
deny that the cotton bale trust, the Ice
trust ana the whisky trust combines are
in the same category.
