Senator from this city:
THE LErrER.
Mt. Sterling, n.y., Dec. rs, 'O5.
G. b. Ecton; write to con-
gratuIate you on the faithful ~
manner in which you kept your
promise 20 the Democrats Of this
Senatorial district. What has
wrought the sudden change in
your opinion Of 10 Blackburn?
During the campaign you stated
to me and hundreds OF Others that
10 Blackburn was "the truest and
noblest Democrat in all Kentucky,
and that il would be disgrace to
the party to allow the Frankfort
machiue to defeat him"
You also said to me that after a
thorough canvass of the district,
you we're satisfied 1.-THE Democrats
of the district were whelming-
ly for Blackburn" You must
know this to be true yet, and that
the principal reason they are for
him is the reason you give for
changing your front, viz: His
courageous sght for the Democra-
cy, and against machine politics
and politicians. Henry L. Jones,

Riddel', w. S, Berkeley and many
Others who worked night and day
for yon because they believed you
were sincere in your statement
that you would vote for 10 Black
burn "first, last and all the time, I"
wish to join me in congratulating
you on keeping (f) your promise
to them and the other Democrats
OF this county and district.
The Democrats of the district
will petition you to resign your
seat in the Senate since you have
unblushingly announced that you
would violate your promises, pub.
hcly and privately made, and it
seems to me this is the only hon
Orable course open to you.
Hoping you may seek some
lightless land where you will es-
cape the just condemnation of a
