papers, handbills and private letters
Democrats, Republisans,b boys and ladies
numbering about three hundred and
fifty assembled at the courthouse here
last Saturday TO hear Bennett H
Young deliver his characteristic adj
dress in the interest OF the Demo-
cratic State ticket. The speaker was
introduced by Captain s. X. Cox, an
ex-Federal soldier who has always
been a Democrat.
Capt.Cox in the, course of his intro
ductory remarks said that Col. Young
was harmless and had been since he
laid aside his gun at the close of the
war. How true these words are in a
political way were proven when Mr..
Young had completed his address.
Referring to McCreary's defeat for
the Senatorship Mr.. Young said that
young Democrats simply buckled
down and beat him, but failed to say
anything about the disgraceful method
used by these young Democrats. He
said that there were fourteen thous-
and convicts in the State penitentiary
and only two hundred OF them were
Democrats. The clear inference being
that there are no more Democrats in
The penilentiaries because they, have
been turned out by Mr.. Beckham on
such recommendations as "he is a
good Democrat and should be par
doned.' He referred to Mr.. Wilson's
representing the American Tobacco
Company, in a small suit denouncing
the company as crud, wanton aad
mean as He'll itself, but he failed to
state that this same cruel mean crea-
lure contributed $4,000 tot he lasl
Democrat Campaign Fund.
He took Mr.. Wilson severely to task
because, the latter in a recent speech
told about Mr.. Hager carrying a bot !
lie of whiskey in his grip as he |
Travelled over the State making speech
es. He said this was a small matter |
and 3ir. Wilson should not call al |
tenjion 10 it. The speaker said he had
never taken a drink with Mr.. Hagar |
or seen him take one, though h. had |
seen him considerably HILARIOUS. This
was a revelation to the people in
Ohio county, for they had been lead .
TO believe that Mr.. Hager was a total
ibstainer and the fact that Mr.. Young
has seen him drunk opened the eyes
If the temperance people of this
innate of the Lexington Insane Asy-
UNI was recently murdered by the at
endants there, but said such things
naturally happened in the course OF
vents. He said the first time lie ever
aw John G. Carlisle was when he
vas governor of Kentucky, and that ,
lie was drunk at the time. The in
erence being that even though Mr..
Seckham and Hager indulge rather
RELY that they may yet reform.
Mr.. Young in his opening remarks y
aid that he would refrain from speak
lg harshly of Mr.. Wilson the Re-
nominee for governor, be-
ause his six year old daughter be-
ought him to do so as she babe him 4
God bye to start for Hartford. He
eemed tn try to keep his promise
lough it was clear that he could

} other Democratic Campaign speak
IS have done.
In referring TO the Republican party
3 said that the masses of the peo-
e who constitute the party may be as
scent as we (The Democrats) but |
ave never been able to see 1t that
ay. Said Republican papers through
1t the country were full of lies about
enfucky's being the worst governed
ate in the union but failed to state
at these lies were likewise publish
in the Courier-Journal and the
her leading Democratic papers of
e State and country. He said that
Republicans lived in the feud
len districts of the mountains where
ey were taught from childhood to
~ their fellowmen, and in the next
cath said that he was for Hager
