Blackburn's Grafton at the Grave Of iOebeI

The Kentucky Democratic orators
made the most of the occasion and
delivered stirring OrationS over the
grave of VIM. Goebe THURSDAY,
Senator Blackburn's speech IN part is
as follows:
1.-THE tyranuous and bloody act is
done; the m1st arch deed of piteous
massacre that ever yet tais land was
guilty Of
"6oebel is dead. That this cruel
deed was the natural result of the
fierce political contest from which he
had just emerged none can deny. His
life, supplemented by his death, had
won the decisive victory that meas
ured his ambition.
"An oak has fallen in the forest, a
strong man has been taken from
among US. Emulate his example.
Dedicate every effort and, if need be-,
life itself, in the cause OF right and
Justice. Be patient, be brave. Obey
the law. Under it demand your rights
and never abandon the struggle until
justice shall prevail, beg that you
will not mar the splendid record you
have already made by an act OF law
lessness or violence. Show to the
world that in this great common
wealth Of ours the law is superior TO
the mob, and that in the end all
wrongs will be redressed.
"'Twould be but poor satisfaction
to see the miserable tools and instru-
ments made use of in his murder give
up their lives to an Infatuated pOpu-
lace. Be patient and neither the
perpetrators nor the planners of this
foul crime will ESCAPE the penalty chat
the law provides. You need rot fear
for a failure Of discovery. No crime
like this can be concealed. This earth
is not large enough to hold its perpe-
traitors or its instigators 10 secluslon.
