tee OF the Democratic party OF
Kentucky, believing that party dis
cIpline and party loyalty are abso-
lutely essential to success at the

fance of party authority shown by
one faction of the Democratic party
in the ity of Louisville. We ex.
press our disapproval of the war
fare being made upon the chairman
of this committee, the Hon. Allie w.
Young, and declare our confidence
in his loyalty to the Democratic
party. We recognize the fact that
this committee is not called upon to
consider the troubles in the party
referred to, but we think 1t but
right and just to our chairman that
we should in this public manner ex-
press our confidence in him and our
disapproval Of the assaults being
made upon his personal integrity
and party loyalty by those who are
disposed to resist the authority o.
the state central committee of The
Democratic party.
''We further believe this expires
sion due our chairman when W,
consider the fact that he has beer
singled out for denunciatlon, al
though he was carrying out instruc
tions given him by practically tn,
unanimous vote of the said stat
central committee.

ton Chairman Young thanked tn,
committee for its expression of con
fdence, and said the newspaper
that had abused him for carrying
out the orders of the State Contra
Committee was the same newspaper
that had turned the Democrat,
party over to the Republicans il
1896-the Courier-Journal-and tina
that paper always opposed anyone
