Gov. Shelby issded d to Kentuck

he would himself lead tim although,
then sixty-four years of age and

his horse and placed himelf at the
head of his followers sndm marched
through Ohio, sailed atoss the
western portion of Lake Crie and
pursued the British and indians
seventy-three miles into british
Territory. Being used to indian
warfare at night, this old G&ernor
and patriot, while the youngF men
were asleep walked around thu camp
to see that the sentries werehll at
their posts and were using al pre-
caution to prevent surprise. SO
earnest was the desire of these Ken
tuckians to maintain the gloH of
the State and Country, that for
two days men who had been unc-
customed to walking, with patrRt t.
ic impulses and with that chivaRV
and strength born of superb heA-
ism, marched in half run to oven
take the enemies of their country
At last in the evening of October
9th, 1913, by their rapid marching
they forced Proctor at the head OF
the British and Tecumseh at the
head Of the Indians to give battle,
And when the line was formed,
Gov. Shelby, Kentucky's Governor
heaven bless his name and the mem
DRY Of his glorious deeds-sought
the place of danger. There was
one place which was generally con-
ceded to be the point where the
most terrific fight would be waged,
and that was where Kentucky
Governor in obedience to the call of
his country placed himself and pre-
pared to lead his cohorts in the
charge that day. And when from
the throats of three thousand Ken
tuckians went up that wonderful
battle cry, "Remember the Raisin, -
"Remember the Raisin." our grand
old Governor with his gray locks
brushed back and with uncovered
head, stood amid shot and fire and
encouraged Kentuckians to 90 for
ward with courage and gallanty in
to the battle which was then rag
ing. There was never in human
history a grander scene for pain
ter's brush than that venerable he
no at the head of his Kentucky fol
lowers urging them to do their du-
ty at that eventful hour of their
country's history. You know the
sequel. Three fourths of the Brit
;sh regulars we're captured. Te-
cumseh was killed and the Indians
were routed and compelled to sue
for peace, and the power of Great
Britain in the Northwest was com
pletely broken, and the savages
whom she so long maintained to
help her in foraging upon Kentuc-
ky, Indiana and Michigan were
compelled abjectly and humbly to
sue for peace. S6years afterwards,
according to Republican ideas, a
political emergency arose. 1t was
necessary to intimidate the voters
and through the women and chill
dren to prevent their attendance at
the polls on the Bird day of Novom-
Der, 1898, in the City of Louisville.
Mr.. Bradley. the Republican Gov
ernor, with alacrity lent himself to
the scheme. Day by day threaten
ing articles were printed in the
newspapers. Calling guns were
paraded through the streets of Lou
isville, thousands of rounds of am
munition were hurried into the ar
senal, direful threats were made by
this Republican Governor and his
friends as TO the bloodshed and riot
that were to mark the election.
This war declared by this noble
warrior, Gov. Bradley, was made,
not even upon the enemies of his
own State, and these efforts to ter
rorize and alarm were made not for
enemies, not with people who had
rebelled, not against people who
