Believing in, and demanding, fair

methods causing the defeat of the Ken

the midst of free people, we hereby
condemn the tactics and practice of

fsR Qcnluo6 SECONDLY, That ba 1o11
gates heretofore elected by this con-
vention be instructed to fight every
inch in the Lexington convention in
the interest of j. Campbell Cantrill,
and to represent to the honorable men
who shall make up the personnel of
that convention that the chairman of
the Bourbon County Democratic Com
mittee betrayed his trust, by dnnounc-
ing in one newspaper that this conven-
ton would meet at l o'clock q. m. and
in another that it would meet at 2
o'clock, giving in neither publication
the place where said convention would
be held; that on this day of the con-
venCion said chairman agreed with a
representative of the friends of J.
Campbell Cantrill that said convention
should be held at the court house and
should be called together at O'Clock
o. M, which was in accord with the
official call of the District Committee
| for said convention that the friends
of j. Campbell Cantrill were at the
court house in Paris at 2 o'clock p. m,
and that while waiting for said conven-
ton to be. called to order the chairman
of the Bourbon County Committee is
said to have called a convention to
ordre, not = at the court house, but
within the crowd of Kimball supper
| tiers some distance from said appointed
place.
1--WE solemnly represent that the
| six hundred and fifty-Seven votes cast
| in favor of the resolutions instructing
| the delegation from Bourbon county to
vote for Senior Cantrill for Congress
were all Democrats and were all citl-
zens of Bourbon county.
| 1--WE represent further that in the
number of Kimball supporters many
were residents of Fayette, and that
the total number of Kimball's supper
tiers in the city OF Paris today, includ-
| ing his friends from Lexington, does
not exceed two hundred.
1--WE appeal to the proper authorities
in the convention at Lexington, and to
] the duly constituted authorities Of the
party in the State Central Committee
for fair play and the protection of the
lrignts which are guaranteed to US un-
der moral and party laws. and we sol
EMMY represent to these authorities
that if the rule OF the majority is nc
longer recognized, and its enforcement
no longer guaranteed the underly-
ing and fundamental principles upon
4 which Democracy is supposed to rest
has been uullified and set aside.
