Buckner on ' Campaign Issues . ! . - - tJllller dalc of Oct. 23 , 190 ; . Go\'crnor , of KClltucky , wrote llull Ilcnry II. Hiuc , rhnltlll n 01 the Dcmocratic Stntc COlli- luiUce , as follows : ltAR IH : I have the honor to acknowledge the rcceipt of ) 'our letter of the ' 10111 inst. , in which you appeal to me as J\ IIConfcderate soldier to rally to the support of the candidate J of th Democracy in a ontest witb the common enemy , the Republican - can party. " Let me thnnk you for the kindly interest you take that I shall properly cast my vote , and for the two printed circulars - culars JOU inclose to enlighten m ) judgement. One of thel 1 purports to be a comparison between the records of the two parties in their ad- ministratiol1 of the government of this Commonwealth. I have perused it with care , and if I may bc permittcd tl1 say so , it cems to me more remarlmhl < , for the suppression of important facts than for an impart ial declaration - ration of the whole tr th. If you wish me to view it as the special plea of an ad voca te to exonerate - onerate his client by making "the wor t aEpear the better ' reason , " I 11111S ( ' concede l' 1 a t it is I a circular of some ingenuity. But if Y011 wish me to consider it as a fair and impartial expo ition of the matters disc11sRed , I am forced to the oncl11sion that it is eutitled to little consideration. I do not find mv . judgment at al1 enl gh tened by.such a plea. 'fIlIt CONl"UDUHATyt SOT.D1nlt IN KENTUCKY. . 'l'he other circular is the expression - pression of an intelligent gentleman - man , based upon the opinions of a dozen or more most excellent citizens , as to how the .majority of ex.Confederate soldIers wiJ1 cast their votes in the coming election. How you should ex pecL that this expression of opinion - ion shal1 coctrol the vote of any man , I am at a loss to conceive. The Kentucky Confederate soldiers - diers , as a bed , } ' , possessed great individuality of character , and at the incipiency of the Civil war lhought for themselves , formed lheir own conclusions and acted as duty prompted them ; and no better or truer soldiers ever marched under a banner. When the cause they had espoused had failed and they resumed their al1egiance to a r stored government - ment , history has shown that no beHer citizens ever lived within our boundaries. I assume that these citizens will act in the future - ture as the.r have done in the past , and will fol1ow their convictions - victions of public dpty ; and I do not propose to be au exception to this rule. But neitber of the cltculars which you send me throws any Jight upon the i"sues in this politieal campaign. There is no question of national policy in- vol ved. It is purely a con test within the State between two classes of its citizens ; the one composed of citizens who bave been associated iu political bc- lief with dirrerent political parties , bV.t contending now for the preservation of our republican - can institutions ; the other , chiefly of citizens who heretofore - fore affiliated with the Democratic - cratic party , but have now abandoned its principles and are following practices which threaten - en the very existence of our re- - public. 'fIln I10T.Y PlJG1Ul\IS. Their organization is suggestive - ive of one which was formed in medieval times. A company of pious men , styling'them3elves " 'l'he lIoly Pilgrims , " began tbeir wanderings through the world to impress the benighted minds of others with the sense of rght. ; justice and virture , and to preach tbe doctrine of peace and good will to all mtu. But after pursu'ug this purpJse for a time , it occurred to anum. ber of them that their pcrsonal alms would be better attained by an entire change of their pur- poses. 'rhey acconlingly remodeled their platform of principlt's , but retaining their former name , these Holy Pilgrims pursued their wanderings , relieved the [ wayfarer of the burden of his I purse , plun'dered thc caravans cn- countered in their journeyings , I and appropriated to thcir own - t. . t , - use all the valuables that feU in their wa } ' . 'rllOSe of tbe original baud who refused to fol1ow this new avoc it ion were , of course , stigma tized as deserters , renegades and traitors , unworthy to march'un - ( Ier the immaculate hal1l1er of Holy Pilgrims ! In liIee manner thc Democratic part } ' in Ientucl y maintained 101' nearly a centurJ' the rig-hts of the pC'oplc. It proclaimed equal right to all , exchls'C privileges to nouc ; a ballot free from iu- timid at on or fraud ; a judiciary free from partisan bias ; a rigid enforcement of the laws ; the strictest integrity in officials ; the praclice of public virture in all classes of the community as the only true basIs of patriotism in our republic. But some umbi- i Hous tnen in the party seeking ' to' promote thei r personal cnds have succeeded in remodeling this creed. 'l'hey met in li'rank- fort and proceeded to enact all election law so partial in its action that it robbcd the people of all right to faIr suffrage. 'l'his act of injustice was followed , as a natural Requence , by the frands of the Music Hall convention , where the voice of a large majority - ity was stifled b ) intimidation and every form of iniquity. 3'herc the Democratic p rty was overlhrown and a conscience- le s n.lachine. warring upon every pnnclplc of Democracy , was rear- cd upon its ruins. Though it was exultantly proclaimed - claimed h ) ' an enthusiastic Democratic - cratic orator that after the passage - sage of the new election taw lIif any stealing was to be done it would not be done by the l epub- lican party , " such was the inclig- nation of the people that they overcame all the fraudulent votes which had been recorded against them and defeated the candidates of the machine bv a decided majority - jority ; aud the Dcmocratic Election - tion Commission , whose majority were men of honor and integrity , awarded the certificates to the men chosen by the people , and they were duly installed into otlice. TIII 1\rACIIINn AND ITS IIISTOHY. But the machine was not thus to be thwarted In its fraudulent purpose. A contest was insti- tuted. The returning board was reorganize , and these slaves of the ring recorded the will of their masters by unseating the officers chosen by the pcc.ple and installing a usurping minority in their places. With equal sub. servlence the legislative body which first organized the ma. chine registered the will of its creqture by disfranchising with out cause more than one-fourth the votes of the State in order to defeat the will of the people ; and to give their action the semblance of validity did not hesitate to ante-date the time of their fraudulent - ulent action. What has followed since is a matter of history ; some of it of judicial history. We have butte to study the decision of our high est court to find the methods pursued - sued by this machine. 'rhe right uf the people' to freely express their will in their choice of thcir officials is denied. 13allot boxes are sturred with imaginary names ; voting places are secretly removed contrary to law pending the election ; criminals of every class are imported as repeaters and are allowed during their star to pursue their vocatiun of robbery under the protection of the police. Honest election officers - cers are driven from the polls ; peaceable citi7.ens are knocked clown , b aten and imprisoned for no other otIense than of complaining - plaining of wrongs , and offending - ing policemen are publicly commended - mended for their violation of Jaw and promoted for their crimes against societ ) ' . If the stuffing' of ballot boxes was inac1aquate , it l1as been shown that in the country the vcr , ) ' lrees of the forest if not the beasts of the field , have been recorded - corded as voters to silence the voices of hving mcn who protested - ed against these outragcs. ' An impartial vote could not fail to set aside an elcction so attended by fraud , intimidation and violence - lence as was that held in Louis- lville in 1905. RnltOHM TUn ZltACIIINIt RHJItCTun.

And this candidate appears to have the support of every candi- i date on the machine State ticket. I I ' ' ' ' ' ' ' . A PARTY WI'l'I10U'1' A l'I.A'l'ltOHM. In former times the Dcmocratic party , through its chosen dele- Jates , was accustomed to meet from time to tim in conventions , to promulgate a platform of principles - ciples best calculated to promote the public . welfare , to name candidates and committees best fitted to serve the people with I fidelity an l to instruct them to put iit practice the principles of the party. But since the enthronement - thronement of your machine the people have been spared this trouble , Now an ob1igilr hy of o ice-holders , rotating in violating - ing of the spirit of the Constitution - tion , from one office to . . . . .another , are accustomed to meet in secret conclave with chosen members of the machine. Virtually name the candidates and appoint committees - mittees whose duty it is to instruct - struct the people to cast their votes for the perpetuation of the power of the ring , and not for the good of the people. I hope you will not consider me in any way personally orren- si ve , for I do not mean to be , when I state you hold an important - ant and lucrative office which seems to be dominated by members - bers of this organization. My criticism is intended only of the system , which regards the choice of such an official as eminently proper to be placed at the head of the committee which is to instruct - struct the voter : > in their duty , In this capacity you urge ute as a Confederate soldier to vote for a11 the candidates on your tiket : , and against the "common encmy , " the Repu blican ' party. In looking over the 'list of yonr candidates I find that some of them were the direct 'beneficiaries of some of the fraudulent elections - tions I have sketched ; some are sel'king , in violation of the spirit of the Constitution to rotate from office to office. Most of them , as far as I can learn , have aided and abetted the perpetration of th political crimes which have brought discrec1 lupon the State and destroyed the life of true Democracy.

If , as you say. the Itepublican party ! i the comll1on enemy of such a machinc as I IHl\'e feebly describ d , it shoul1 _ not be imputed - puted to them as a crime , but comUlended as a cardinal virture. And their assistance in an errort to overthrow an organization which , under .the baner of the Democratic party , is warring against every principle of Democracy - mocracy , should be welcomed and applauded by every true Dem - crat and lover of his country. i'-or ' until this machine .is overthrown - thrown there can be no hope of resuscitating the life of true De-l mocracy. . . . . : .I As yonr letter is an official communication , and in no scnse confidential , I may give it , publicity - licity in order that not only JOu. but anyone else , if there be such , who may care to lenow my p sitiou , may learn some of the reasons which impel my action in casting my vote for the overthrow - throw of a machine which has .strangled the Democratic party , and whose constant violations of . law and justice are spreading a contagion of lawlessness to thr. remotest limits of our fair Com- ' monwcalth. In imitation of the methods of lhe machine a veritable - table Sicillian Mafia has been 01'- ganizcd in parts of the State. ' ! 'he toil of the farmer has been lost in the c estruction of his growing crops , in the burning of his barns with their contents , in I the dynamiting of his threshing machines. Yet no serious at- temptR have been made by the authorities to suppress these outrages - rages ; for officials chosen by fraud and violence are incapable of enforcing - forcing the Jaw agaim t other offenders.
