For Attorney-G General

~
statement that in due time Hon.
James Garnett, of this city will make
his formal announcement for the
Democratic nomination for Attorney
General. While Mr.. Garnett per-
mits US to give this Information to
the public at this time ne does SO
largely to satisfy many Of his friends
who are exceedingly anxious and So
licitous for him to enter the race.
-Four years ago he va importuned
by Democrats throughout the State,
ITO announce for this Office, Dut his
pbua ness relations at that time pre-
vented. Conditions have now chang
ed. but before acceding to the de-
;sires of the many who have urged
him to enter tie contest, he sought
20 know the true sentiment of his
party in this district, and since he
has the information from substan-
tial Democrats in nearly every coun-
ty m the Eleventh that his candidacy
would be heartily received and sup
Iported. he feels that further delay
would be an injustice to his friends.
SO he said: you may say to the
Democrats, through The News. that
L will ask for the Democratic nom-
GnOtion for Attorney General of this
State and will. at the proper time,
ENTER actively into the campaign
ard meet the Democrats in every
county. and submit to them my
claims"
In presenting his name to the
Democrats of Kentucky we feel that
Jingle Of pride so common where
knswn and urquestionsble ability
ant fitness are in evidence. He was
born and reared in Columbia, son
of the late Judge James Garnett,
whose reputation as a lawyer, jurist
and Democrat was known and ap
preciated throughout the State. He
as now thirty eight years old and
since ne entered the practice of law
has filled many positions of honor,
and last year was urgently solicited

Democracy and unflinchingly loyal
10 its nominees-a Democrat in vic
tory "a Democrat in defeat, persis-
tent and unflinching in service, yet
discreet and effective in meeting an
opponent. He possesses that fine
sense Of discretion and ability and
training for deep legal questions
(which would not only make him a |
most attractive nominee but would
insure commendable results IN a
State official. He will not only have
"A solid party behind him in this sec
ton of the State but hundreds of
Republicans will vote for
him because they know his worth as
a true gentleman. and able lawyer
and an honest, impartial official.
There is not a man in the party who
would add more strength to the
ticket and nc one better qualified to
render able service to the State as
Attorney General. His nomination
would give encouragement to the
Democrats of this district and would
arouse an enthusiasm that would
materially advance our party inter
ssts. With an abiding faith in the
F1dgment of Kentucky Democracy,
I'VE submit the above announcement
FOR due consideration, and believe
hat Mr.. Garnett's friends will give
him that active, enthusiastic support
necessary for victory .-Adair Coun-
