Show KENTUCKY METHODS At last the Salt Lake Herald has come very spitefully to the defense of f the Kentucky office stealors It says I When the prodigious liar Is at work we believe in taking off the limit and J Immediately proceeds to jdo it It says tho official returns showed upon I their face a plurality of about 2000 for Taylor Yes after all tho stealing possible had been carried out still the I figures showed that majority But It was necessary to defeat Taylor and then the 3000 fraudulent tissue ballots bal-lots which it tells about were found Had the majority for Taylor been 1000 then 6000 tissue ballots would have been found It further says that Taylor Tay-lor and his cutthroats resorted to assassination as-sassination and here In Utah there Is a Journal that weeps every day over the wrongs suffered by those murderers I murder-ers The Journal is not weeping It is merely showing that the party which denies tho franchise to nativeborn Americans here at home and calls the men who planned to assassinate all the white people in Manila Including the boys of the Utah batteries Christian Chris-tian people Is a party of fraud and ready like its organ here to defend everything of violence or shame so that it promises to accrue to the benefit of the Democratic party A man drove a law through the Kentucky Ken-tucky Legislature intended to practically practi-cally disfranchise all Republicans In that State The law was denounced by the leading Democratic Journal of the Slate as Infamous In addition it I was fixed by statute so that there could be no appeal to the courts from any act touching elections passed by the Legislature The election was held and still the Republican Governor was elected It was known that the Legislature Leg-islature was determined to unseat him Following Kentucky methods he determined de-termined to fight for his office and called around him the rude riflemen of Eastern Kentucky That was his mistake mis-take but ns we said above he was following Kentucky methods One morning the candidate who ran against him and the man who had drawn up and pushed through the law to disfranchise dis-franchise Republicans was shot by an unknown assassin and mortally wounded He died but no Inquest was held Tho Legislature however offered of-fered a reward of 100000 for the arrest and conviction of his murderer The size of the reward caused prominent Kentucky Democrats to declare that it was intended to procure the evidence to convict somebody A noted criminal lawyer of New York was sent for and ever since the effort has been to try to make the Democratic party in Kentucky Ken-tucky respectable Democratic frauds finally resulted In a real Kentucky feud fight alike disreputable to all concerned But It all does not change the original origi-nal proposition that the Goebel law was intended from the first to disfranchise dis-franchise Republicans while and black and that being true when a party that indorses all that grows tearful over the fact that the United Spates is subduing sub-duing the Philippines to order law and real liberty the tears are crocodile tears and the simulated sympathy Is disgusting I |
