assembly.
Resolved, That we most heartily |
endorse the action Of the Republicans
and betterment Of the Democratic
party in Livingston county in their
united effort to give to the people Of
Livingston county an upright and clean
administration.
Resolved. That we condemn the
methods used by the ring Democrats
in this judicial district in packing both
grand and petit juries with Democrats
to the exclusion Of good citizens who
belong to the Republican party solely
because they are Republicans, in vio-
lation Of the law. We believe the only
standard in the selection Of juries
should be good citizenship without re-
gard to political affilation.
In taking up the nomination Of the
candidate for the legislature, County
Attorney Carl Henderson. Of this
county. arose and proceeded to make
the nomination Of the man who was
afterward declared the nominee by
acclamation. He said We wanted a
man FOR the place who was for right
taxation and impartial juries. He said
that the jury clause in the resolStions
was the strongest issue at present con-
fronting the voters Of Crittenden and
Livingston counties, and without any
o-her issue Il should be the means Of
the defeat OF the political trixters OF
the opposing party that used such
methods for the purpose Of perpetuating
themselves in office. He said that II
manipulating the jury box for pohti
cal purpose that the constitutions anC
laws Of Kentucky and the UniteC
/ States were violated. that the rights o.
! man were sacrificed and justice misear
E ried because the accused may have

: party in power.
$ A startling piece Of gang fraud wa

z upon the tax rate and called attentio
a TO the fact that in Livingston count
n the tax rate last year went to the ift
:. cent limit and that this year the eliqu

/. cents Il will cost just as much

X as last. said he. but this is simply (,
,r the purpose Of hoodwinking the vote
J. and ostensibly for the purpose Of deli
Il ering a bankrupt treasury over TO u
