WHAT HAS BLACKBURN poNEY

The Lexington Gazette rises to re-
mark:
at is singular beyond measure
that Senator Blackburn should be
expected, much less required, to en-
ter contest for anything within the
gift of the people of this common
wealth. For the past forty years he
has borne the heat and burden of
the day in every political battle that
his party was called upon to wage.
In all those forty years of political
activity in behalf of Democracy he
has never shirked a duty; but has
held himself in readiness at all times
to serve his party with unfailing as
siduity, sincerity and loyalty in ev-
cry contest that his presence was
needed, 1t mattered not how ardu-
Gus was the undertaking and how
unceasilg was the labor"
Every man in Kentucky and a lot
of men outside of Kentucky, know
the above is mere rubbish. Blackburn
is pretty smart man-smart enough
at all hazards. to keep in Office all
these years-although he has never
done anything worthy OF such re-
ward
Blackburn. IL is true. has "borne
the heat and burden of the day" in
political battles, but that does not
make him great, or entitle him 10
draw $4,000 year from the govern
ment for doing nothing,
Can anyone point to anything
Blackburn ever did as a senator to
entitle him to all this adulation? II
Is true he has at times helped keep
the state In the grasp of the pOliti-
cal buccaneers who spent most of
their time at Frankfort drinking
whisky, playing poker and taking
trips periodically 10 the springs 20
get boiled out, but what has he ever
done TO benefit his state or country
Didn't he spend years at Washing
ton without collecting a cent of Ken
tueky's war claims, and then have TO
suffer the humiliation of seeing a
rank outsider step in and collect over
million dollars for the state ON a
commission of over $4,000, when
Senator Blackburn might have Just
as easily done IL and saved the
state this small fortune2
The Democrats of McCraeken coun-
y may think they have nominated a
blackburn man for the legislature
but-well, Just ask him.
