Eli Perkins Down South Through Honest Kentucky Dems
The Louisville Commercial recounts Eli Perkins meeting Judge Scott, a veteran Kentucky Democrat, who confesses the party errs between tariff policy and politics. The judge notes farmers prospering but the Democratic Party losing support unless tariff stays high, and mocks Bryan’s free silver and McKinley plans. He mentions Grover Cleveland’s Hawaii policy and racial wording, then pivots to praise for Morgan’s expansionist stance in Alabama and the South. Also includes a pneumonia warning and rural mail routes update amid 1900s advertising copy.
