They told him that he could uame any Democrat in America and they would elect him, rather than let it be said that a Kentucky legislature ith a Democratic majority of eight on a joint ballot had sent a Hepub- ican Senator to W ashiugton. uov- ruor Iterkham sent word he would withdraw and help elect any Iem- ocrat, but Lillian! had already sold himself to the Jiepiiblicans and be betrayed his party iu a manner to advertise bis owu infamy.
