Death of Legislature Eternal

Over the death of the legislature,
800, 900 voters will sing praises to him
on high. Never before in the history
of the country was such body of dis
torted, degenerate and deformed men
clothed with the responsibility of the
legislative functions of government.
To say that these biped animals have
disgraced their State, the position to
which they we're elected, their coun-
try at large, themselves and the God
that gave them being, would be cast
ing a reflection upon the term, Human
intellect cannot conceive of language
suited to analyze this body of usurpers.
From the second day of January to
the close of the 18th day of March
every breath it drew was poisoned with
revolution. Like the dying spreading
viper, after applying its own venom to
its own body, it died frothing and
foaming and striking at the very prin-
ciples of freedom. 1t is dead by its
having injected into Its own being the
profound contempt and disgust of ev,
cry fair minded Kentuckian. Now
that it is dead, the Great Ruler of
Heaven should make 1t long time
dead if not eternal.
The contest conducted by this thing
was a farce from the drawing of the
committee, for the contest cases, I'm
til the ratification of its report in mid
night darkness when neither could see
the others face. 1t will be remember
ed by the great common people" that
the report of this committee of fraud
and force was ratified three times,
therefore condemning itself. The APP
preparation of the 800, 900 corruption
fund was unnecessary and uncalled
for. When Abraham Lincoln was
assassinated only $4,000 reward was
offered for the assassin aud he, too,
was the liberator of 100000 souls,
but when Mr.. Goebel was assassinated
reward of 100000 was offered for
the detection of his assassin and he,
too, was the murderer of civil liberty
and the enslaver of 5000, 900 souls
But this corruption fund was supplied
corruptlonists for no other purpose
than to convict the leaders of the Re,
publican party, for the deed of one OF
their own men, and yet this corrup-
ton fund was not sufficient. This
same body of bipeds has gone into the
States treasury and taken out anOth-
err $1,000 to raise an army to guard
the perjurers while they perform their
hel ish acts of persecution. There can
be no mistake about the purpose OF
these 100000 appropriation bills.
Every prominent Republican 10 Ken
lucky is in danger of arrest, even those
who have never seen Frankfort, but
who have bravely opposed this gigan,
tic conspiracy. 1t is little short of a
miracle why warrants for the arrest Of
Judge Toney, Judge Morton, Capt.
Sharp, Ex-Gov. Buckner, Squire
Turner, Judge Barr, Judge Evans,
President Mckinley and a host OF
others, have not been sworn out by
some beneficiary of that corruption
fund. Every effort of the Republican
members to arrest the disgraceful
measures of the Goebelcrats only
tended to encourage their propaganda
lists to more determined efforts. This
body adjourned without a tear. 1t
was buried in ignOmy and disgrace
never again to be resurected, not
even on the morning Of the resurec
ton, for with its death its soul passed
to its reward in the realm of the i'm,
mortal lost. \
