The Democrats of Kentucky are
a law-abiding and peace-loving
people. They would welcome, not
repel, from their association those
Kentuckians who love liberty and
Justice and who hate crime. I'm
der Republican rule the civil arm
of the State Government was
struck down, and a military usur-
patton was set up in its place. I'm
der Republican rule murder was
made a weapon of party warfare,
and Republican officials obstruct-
Ell and de6ed the courts in their
effort to discover and punish its
authors. In view of these things
we invite every Kentuckian who
remains true Kentuckian and
without regard to former political
affiliations, to join with us in STAN
ping out their possible recurrence
and to share with us the glory of
redeeming the honor of the State
and reviving the memory of the
patriots and sages, who, IN its bet
ter days, made it prosperous, illus
trious and happy.
