House in Hopkins ville Monday Nov 271S9 Whereas At th election held in the Statu of TCentuckv on Nnvomlior 7 1899 one Bradley Governor of said State in bold defiance of law and In total subversion of the basic principles of civil liberty and self government as Commander-in- Chief of the State militia removed himself from the capital of said State to the city of Louisville and on said day called out said militia without being called upon by the proper civil authorities so to do and Whereas On said day one Sterling Toney as one of the Circuit Judges in said city without the semblance of law thereof by a mandatory injunction granted and issued without notice and in obedience to a preconcerted and matured plan forced persons without au thority into the polls when said election was being held in said city all in plain violation of the law and Whereas Long before said election and up to the time thereof it had been published repeatedly throughout said city and State that said Governor would be there and that said militia would be called out and that large quantities of arms and ammunition and gatling guns had been sent to said city to be used on said election day where at blood would How which publications were vouchsafed for by a pre tended United States Senator for Kentucky and other noted opponents of the Democratic party and Whereas On account of the above large numbers of voters in said city were intimidated and failed to vote in said election and a free and impartial expression of the people was not had and Whereas In the counties of Knox and Johnson in said State said election was not conducted accord ing to law by reason of tissue bal lots being used and other irregularities and frauds aud Whereas Since said election said Toney has by the same prostitution of the powers of his court compelled various election officers of said election to certify to false returns of votes in said city and in a like manner have the votes in said counties of Knox and Johnson been certified therefore be it Resolved by the Democrats of Christian county in meeting assembled First That we denounce in unmeasured terms all of said acts of Bradley and said Toney as being tyraunical autocratic revolutionary and a usurping of power aud authority and Bradley should be punished as the law directs and said Toney should be impeached Second That we hereby earnestly request the State Election Board for said State on account of said acts of usurpation illegality and fraud to throw out and refuse to count the vote of Louisville or the votes of said counties of Knox and Johnson pretended to be cast on said day thereby saying to the people of the State to the people of theworld and to all future generations that liberty has not been destroyed in this country and that the despot has not yet been made chief ruler or been vested with un limited powers and thereby preserving in its purity the sanctity of the ballot which is the corner stone of civil liberty ThirdThat in so doing said board will but do its legal aud bounden duty as public servants and receive the plaudits of brave and liberty loving people every where FourthThat in such action we Entumiarf riOPKINSVILLE KENTUCKY FRIDAY DECEMBER 11899 pledge to them our hearty support and assistance in executing the law so announced by them the threats of blood and militia to the contrary notwithstanding
