The Democratic Platform.

We, the representatives of the
Democracy of Kentucky, in con-
vention assembled at Lexington,
June II, 1908, reaffirm our allie
glance and devotion to the prin-
ciples of the Democratic party as
represented by Jefferson and adj
vocated by a long line of illus
trious leaders and as set forth in
the National Democratic plat
form in 1904. We indorse and
point with satisfaction to the
wise, honest and economical con-
duct of the State government by
the Democratic administration of
Gov. j. c. w. Beckham and his
associates in office.
We disapprove and condemn
the weak, vacillating, hypocrit-
ical and arbitrary conduct of our
State affairs by the present Re-
publican administration.
We instruct the delegation
elected by this convention to cast
the vote of Kentucky as a unit
upon all questions and matters
corning before the National Dem
ocratic Convention to be held at
Denver, COL, July Z, 1908, and
they are hereby further instruct
ed to vote for William Jennings
Bryan as the nominee for Presi-
dant by said convention and con-
tinue to vote for him until he
shall be nominated.

Reflections Of a Bachelor Girl

When a girl marries she ex-
changes the attentions of all the
other men she knew for the in
attention of one.
The hardest part about the
next morning" is not the effort
to recall what particular story
you told your wife the night
before.
Poor people don't have to
economic on love, kisses nor
enthusiasm; and with plenty of
those one can cover all the bare
spots on the walls of poverty.
Flatter a husband little and
he will adore you; flatter him too
much and he will soon begin to
wonder why such a combination
of Solomon and the Apollo Bel
videre ever stopped to marry an
Insignificant little thing like you.
It's the hours woman spends
making frocks that her husband
never looks at, and the hours a
man spends making jokes that
his wife never laughs at, that
makes the matrimonial years
draw so heavily.
A mans wife, like any other
sort of stimulant, ceases to have
that exhilarating effect after she
has become a steady diet.
Two's company, but twins are
a crowd.
A mans club is the death
chamber in which he browns his
sorrow, buries his secrets and
burns up his money.
Poise is the thing that enables
woman to smile when the man
she has designs upon treads on
her chiffon skirt and tears it off
the binding. New York World.

Blessings.

the corner from the architect. I
thought the world was pretty
hard on me; though I was up
against it for fair. When a friend

all right, but it didn't look good
to me.
We'll, sir; while | was waiting
for a car | saw a man walking on
crutches, and | thought of my
two good legs. On the corner
where got off | saw a bind man
grinding handorgan, and |
thought of my two good eyes.
A couple of illy-clad and hungry
looking children were listening
to the organ, and | thought of
my own well-clad and well-fed
children, having a good time be-
cause their daddy was making
fairly good wages. Before go
ing to work | picked up the
morning paper and read an ac-
count Of an eastern cashier who
had committed suicide because
he had specialized with bank
funds and lost, and | thought of
the good job | had and the few
paltry little debts that were not
pressing. Then l read of d.
vorce in high life in New York.
| thought of the little woman at
home who always had smile for
me when | got home in the eve
ming, and a word of cheer when
ever trouble loomed up.
"By this time l was feeling
pretty good and we'll content
with my lot, and when a friend
came into the office and said good
morning, | said good morning
with so much heartiness that he
looked surprised.
II tell you, old man, all fell
low like me has to do to get a
line on the blessings he really
has to be thankful for is to com
pare his lot with that of a great
many people he sees every day."

West Point, but certainly moth
ing was developed there in him
to indicate his fitness or ability
to meet great responsibilities. He
did we'll in the Mexican war, as
did other lieutenants. He mani
tested as regimental quarter
master energy and familiarity
with his duties. But in 1854 he
resigned from the army because
he had to. He had yielded to
the weakness of a taste for strong
drink, and rather than be court
martialed he left the army. He
returned from Vancouver, on the
Pacific coast, to his family in St.
Louis without money, without
property dishartened man. He
accepted from his father-in-laW
a loan of seventy-fve acres of
land, upon which he constructed
house for his family to live in,
and there he carried on farming
operations. His chief business
seemed to be that of selling
wood, of cutting it, and piling it
in the back yards of the well-to-
do people of St. Louis. After six
years of this life he gave up farm
ing because of ill-health and went
into the real estate business for
a year. He failed in this. His
associate dissolved the partner
ship. Then at last his father Of
fered him $500 as a clerk in his
leather store at Galena, ILL.,, and
then he moved from St. Louis.
During these seven years, though
everything looked dark, he over
came in a great measure his
weakness for strong drink. But
he was so constituted that it
seemed impossible for him to
earn a livelihood when he had
given hostages to fortune in the
shape of a wife and four chill
dren.

Mr.. Wilson would pardon these


men it has been quite evident
for some time, ever since he con-
stituted himself judge and jury
to hear the evidence, construe
the law and release these noted
alleged criminals. Governor
Wilson has made a farce out of
the whole thing. If he had given
the people credit for one half the
sense that he claims for himself
he would have known that he
was not fooling any one by his
pretense to read and weigh the
voluminous evidence in these
cases and pass judicial opinion
on the guilt or innocence of the
accused. He has been too busy
:
running to Washington City to
consult Roosevelt and New York
to big dinners to do much of any,
thing else since he was inaugu-
rated Governor. The Democrats
who were foolish enough to vote
for Wilson ought to feel sick
clear down to their toes and go
off in the corner and kick them
selves to death.
Because of the political clap
trap that has been exploited
through the Republican news
papers Powers has been made
out a hero in some quarters, and
Howard is looked upon as a
martyr. After eight years
Messrs. Powers and Howard are
Internationally pardoned for a
crime which some one committed,
and which three juries by their
verdicts, declair these men re-
sponsible. That they are guilty
there can hardly be any doubt,
Governor Wilson and the Re
publican press to the contrary
Notwithstanding A sentiment
in behalf of these notorious pris-
oners has been assiduously fos-
tered by the Republicans in Or
der to throw sand in the eyes Of
the public and pave the way to
their release. But no one was
fooled, and Governor Wilson
has done what he was expected
to do by the henchmen of his
party of militarism and murder.

huge, horrible mistake that will

A Republicans Testimony.

A Chicago telegram to the
Courier-Journal gives this &C
count of Senator Bradley's ad-
dress to the Committee on Gre
dentials:
''The Fifth district was next
called, Senator-elect Bradley lead
ing off. He said that his case
rested solely en- the fraud COM
United at the mass conventions,
and that if the Credential Com
mittee intended to do as the Ma
tional Committee had done, and
inquire only into the regularity
of the district convention, then
he had no case. He then pro-
ceeded briefly and graphically to
describe the proceedings at the
mass conventions, which consti-
tuted, he said, as foul and rot
ten an election as ever diSgraced
an American city, He told how
the police had interferred, how
one chairman had stood on the
ballot box, preventing the Fair
banks men from voting while the
Taft repeaters stuffed ballots in
the side; how men accused Of
participating in the 1905 election
had appeared to stuff the boxes
with Taft ballots; how the Taft
ballots were printed on thin pa
per with red ink, so that even
when folded they could be dis
tinguished. He called particu-
lar attention to one affidavit filed
with the mass of evidence pre-
scented, in which a man charged
that member of the Board of
Public Safety had paid a man to
take repeater from one ward to
another to vote for Taft. During
his argument Mr.. Bradley's time
was extended by unanimous con-
sent"
How can the God-and-Morality-
ties hold their heads up after
such testimony?
The testimony is from the Re-
publican leader of the State; the
Republican war-horse of many
battles; the Republican who start
ed the world in 1905 by carrying
Kentucky for the Republicans.
The fact that Mr.. Bradley is
for Fairbanks instead of Taft
does not-at least, it ought not
to render him any the less a
Republican. Is not Fairbanks
himself a good Republican? May
not a good Republican be for
Fairbanks?
The Times is a Democrat, but
if such a partisan as Senator
Bradley is not a Republican it
confesses it does not know one
when it sees him.
From the attitude taken by the
God-and- Morality-ites no one is
a good Republican who does not
stuff ballot boxes in the interest

townships mentioned which are all
the townships in Day county in which
