STATE CONVENTIONS
Democrats of Kentucky, New Jersey,
Colorado and Washington Act.
tube* of tiie four states
—Cleveland’s administration
ENDORSED-PLATFORMS IN BRIEF.
The Kentucky democratic state con¬
vention was called to order shortly after
2 o’clock Welnesday by General Castle-
man, chairm n of the state committee.
Charles J. Bronston, of Lexington, (he
candidate of the Cleveland element was
placed in nomination for temporary chair¬
man. On behalf of the anti Cleveland
element Charles R. Long, of Louisville,
was place i in nomination. An hour was
consumed in roll call, and in wrangling
over contested delegations, and results
finally showed that Long had been elec¬
ted by a vote of 427 to 290. The anti-
Cleveland men gave a wild deafening
cheer of delight, when the result was an¬
nounced. The vote on the temporary
chairmanship was recognized as a tri¬
ly umph for Mr. Watterson and immediate-
loud c ills went up for him. M r Wat-
terson spoke for an hour, When Wat-
tersoa had concluded, Congress¬
man Brecken ridge, leader of the
Cleveland forces, was called out, and he
held the attention of the convention for
another hour. Committees were then
appointed, district delegates were re¬
ported, and the convention took a recess
ti.l 8 30 p. m. On reassembling, Con
gres-man chairman. McCreary was made permanent
The district delegates were
repor ed and confiimed. Nominations
for four delegates at large to the national
convention being declared in order, a
number < f cand dates were placed in
nomination. On m ition Henry Watter¬
son was declared a delegate. The calling
of the roll of the counties for the selec¬
tion of the rem lining delegates at large
consumed an hour. The platform
adopted endorses and reaffirms the prin¬
ciples of the democratic platform of
1888, condemns the principles and mea¬
sures of ihe republican party as exemoli-
fied in its iniquitous tariff legisiaion, its
advocacy of the infamous force bill, its
extravagant pension laws, the wasting of
] ublic funds* class legislation and cen¬
tralization, and endorsing the democratic
idea of tariff reform and economy in
Kovcuiment, people whereby the great mass of
would be relieved of unjust and
oppressive burdens of taxation, demands
a sound and stable currency composed of
or redeemable iu gold and silver coin,
declaring it to be the mission of the dem¬
ocratic party to preserve the parity in the
value of gold and silver dollars, and
to provide means, by appropriate legis¬
lation, for tho free coinage of silver,
without detriment to any busiuess inter¬
est, and to the great relief of the over-
taxed and debt-ridden people; endorses
the democratic administration of Grover
Cleveland and winds up with a resolu
tiou that the de'cgates to the national
convention go uninstrm»ted, except to
use their bei-t endeavors for the success
of the democratic party and its princi
pies.
NEW JERSEY.
The New Jersey d< mocr.itic state con-
vention met in Trenton Wednesday.
Judge Chauncey J. Bessly, < f Mercer
county, was made temporary chairman.
After the usual routine proceedings a
recess was taken until 2 o’clock p m.
On reassembling ex-Congressman Mc¬
Donald, of Hudson county, was made per¬
manent chairman. The election of district
delegates followed and like all other pro¬
ceedings of the day, was attended with
excitement, there being a sharp contest
in several districts. Tne convention ad¬
journed without any speech making.
The following paragraphs from the plat¬
form are textual:
Resolved, That with a full recognition
of the responsibility of the democracy of
New Jer.-ey towards the national dem¬
ocracy, we name as our candidate for the
presidency, a statesman who boldly took
a decis vo step iu the way of tariff reform
and to emphasize our preference, we in¬
struct the our for delegates to cast the vote of
state Grover Cleveland as long as
his name is before the convention.
Resolved, That we condemn the policy
of the free coinage of depreciated legal-
tender silver, and also further purchases
of silver bull oh uuder the ri publican
legislation of 1890; and we believe that
the whole matter of the use of silver as a
money metal should be relegated to the
futuro concerted action of commercial
nations.
The platform was adopted with a whirl
of enthusiasm. The tariff plank con¬
demns the McKinley hill, lays claim to
reciprocity as a feeble step iu the direc¬
tion of tariff reform as laid down by
President Cleveland, and says the demo¬
cratic party should continue its battle lor
tariff reform until that reform is embod¬
ied in the statutes of th<- United S ates.
The administration of Governor Abbett
is endorse 1. The remainder of the plat¬
form is devoted to state politics.
COLORADO.
The Colorado democratic state conven¬
tion met at Denver Wednesday. T. M.
Patterson, Dr. Paul, J. M. Orman and
Theodore O’Donuell were chosen dele¬
gates at large to Chicago. aske\i The platform
is a long one. It for a modifica¬
tion of the existing tariff laws and de¬
manded as a right the free aud unlimited
! coiu ge of silver. It was resolved that
the delegates to the national convention
use every endeavor to secure a free silver
plank, demanding the restoration of
silver to free and unlimited coinage, and
it was declared the sense of the democrats
of the state that they could have little
hope of the election of the Chicago
nominee unless such declaration Was
made. Every mention of David B. Hill’s
name was loudly applauded.
WASHINGTON.
The democratic state convention of
Washington met at Vancouver Wednes¬
day. The convention strongly indorsed
Cleveland, but refrained from instructing

loney, H. S. Blandford, \V. H. Dumphv

silver resolution is as follows: “We favor
a currency of gold, silver and of paper
convertible into coin at the option of
the holder and in such amount as will
meet the business \yece6sities of internal
trade and commerce among the people;
and we further favor the parity of the
two nvtals at h commercial unit of value
all debts, legal tender fee the payment of
public and private, as existed
under the laws of fhe United States
down to the infamous and surreptitious
demonetization of silver in 1873 by the
republican party; and we further favor
the continued coinage of silver and cold
bullion in such manner as that every dol¬
lar so coined shall be equal to every o:her
dollar.” The delegates for the state at

Jules M. Taylor, Memphis, and D. D.

SCENES OF DEVASTATION.
Whole Towns Swept Away in the West
by the Raging Floods.
A dispatch of Sunday from Arkansas
City brings news of fearful devastation
by floods in the west. The telegram
says: The river here is still rising and
now the guase is 49.8 feet. All com¬
munication with the back country, e:<-
cept by skiff or dugout, is cut off. The
water is cutting all kinds of cipers.
Bayous and sloughs that have heretofore
run down stream during flood times are
now rushing up stream at lightning
rapidity regardless of all the laws of
gravitation, taking not only farmers’
fences, but actually taking his crops by
the roots, soil and all, and curving it no
man knows where. Whole fields are re-
ported from which every particle of loose
soil has been swept away. While the
back water of Arkansas City is eight-
tenths below that of 1890, six miles west
of here it is reported up to 1890, and up
about the Amos Bayou country it is above
1890. Water from the Arkansas passing
through Gum swamp and other places, is
now Birtholomew pouring over the bmks into Bayou
in a number of places and
oveiflowiug that stream, dam'ging the
planting community along its banks.
A trip through a portion of the sub
merged districts of the Arkansas and
White rivers revea's the fact that the sto¬
ries of suffering have not been half t >ld.
Without any attempt at exaggeration it
can be said ihat the entire valley is in a
condition bordering on a state of horror.
In Desha county, Arkansas, one of the
richest farming counties in the south,
there are not one thousand acres of dry
land to be seen outside of Laconi circles.
Not a fa'm has escaped and of the entire
population, with the excpption of a few
negroes, who are roosting iu the second
stories of houses, not a human being is to
be seen. Hollindel, up the White river,
has been swept off the face of the earth
and the remnants of houses nre lodged
among the limbs of the trees along the
banks of that mighty torrent. There is
not an inhabitant there today, nor a soul
living at Chicot City. The back water
has come forty miles from the Arkansas
river and is up to the second story of
buildings.
Red Fork, a place of 400 people, is no
more, and the same can be said of Pen¬
dleton. Relief boats have come in from
that section, bringing surviving families.
Large plantations, known as the Black-
more place, Allen Maples and Green
place, are under water, and ruined, and
tenants are camping around on big!
spots of ground, wet and hungry. All
around Catfish point the waters com
lu-hing in from the Arkanses river,
sweeping through forty miles of planta¬
tion property.
THE LAST ROBBER CAUGHT
Who Held Up a Florida Train and Mur¬
dered the Messenger.
For two or three days t fficers of the
Southern Expiesi Company, with three
sheriffs and armed posse with blood-
h unds, have been scouring the country
penetrated by railroads lead n<r ou of
Palatka for Bob Fioyd, the fuu th one of
the train robbers who killed Messenger
Saunders at Monroe Junction, on the
morning of May 21st.
Late Saturday night a special from
Gainesville, Fla., ssy^: Bob Floyd is now
nere. He was captured by Sheriff Fen¬
nell and his posse at Jone«ville, nt 10:15
o’ch ck Saturday night. He was taken at
the housi of a Mr. Benefield,for whom he
had worked two years ago, when he first
came to the state. The posse surround¬
ed Benefield’s house and Floyd surren¬
dered without any trouble.
flotd’s story.
Floyd is a slight, boyish -looking lad,
and told his story frankly and freely,
and impressed all who heard him
evil as being a simple country boy, led by
companions and whisky into the
i omoaission of crime. He has made a
confession, giving all the facts in the
case. His account of the planning of
the attempted robbery tallies very closely
with the confession of Futch, who is in
the Orland > jail, and with the published
newspaper stories.
Without doubt, this is the most re¬
markable case in the history of train
robberies. Within eight days from the
“hold up” and murder all implicated in
this crime are either captured or killed.
The Southorn Express Company has
pushed the investigation most vigorously
lrom the start, and has spent a large sum
of money in prosecuting the search. The
sheriffs of Orange. Yolusia, Putnam,
Clay, Hunilton and Alachua counties
have all done excellent work, and at
least 2,000, in all, have from time to
time been under arms in various posses at
scores of points.
FOR MORE PENSION MONEY
Commissioner Raum Makes an Appeal
to the Appropriation Committee.
A Washington dispatch of Thursday
says: CotnmUsi ner Itaum has asked the
appropriation committee of the house for
a deficiency appropriation of $7,000,000
on account of pension payments for the
balance of the fiscal year. lie said that
he had $19,000,000 on hand and would
need $26,000,000 for ihe two remaining
months of the present fiscal year. Wher-
last before the committee Commissioner
Raum estimated that all of the presc-nl
appropriation would not be expended
during the current fiscal year. The com
m ttee was not satisfied with the esti¬
mates submitted by the commissionei
and will examine him further in referenci
them.
BUSINESS REVIEW
For Past Week as Reported by R. G.
Pun & Co.
R. G. Dun & Co.’s review of trade for
week ending May 27tb says: Business
failures occuring during the week num¬
ber for the U ited States 185. Canada 13:
total 198 against 192 week before. Bet¬
ter weather has wrought a quick improve¬
ment in business at many points. The
floods still make some trcuble’and threat¬
en more. Country roads which nobody
can travel prevent distribution and col¬
lections, and fears about the crop in
many quarters still check purchasers.
But the area over which these influences
were felt was relatively narrow and is
narrowing while more cherring weather
throughout a greater part of the country
has given a decided stimulus to the trade
and greatly changed crop prospects.
Other conditions are generally favorable.
Labor is, on the wnole, well employed
with rather less interruptions from strikes
than is usual at this season.
The money markets are everywhere
well supplied and easy, and at several
points an increasing demand is noticed.
At Baltimore southern trade holds out
beyond expectations. At Philadelphia
general improvement is seen. There is
little new in the great industries though,
other than standard brands of iron are
much depressed. Farm implement
makers have resumed. Their demands,
with better weather, are greater, and the
demand for structural iron is large.
Heavy sales of steel cotton ties have been
made at 2 cen s delivered, the lowest
price ever known. Cotton mills are
doing more business than in any other
year, and print cloths are firmer, for
stocks are low. The shipments of boots
and shoes continue to exceed last
year’s and are but 3 per cent below the
highest ever known for the year thus far.
Speculation in cotton h;s been active
wi h a sixteenth advance and sales of
569,000 bales, floods and bad weather
tending to lessen production.
Nothing disturbs the money market
and the action in congress on silver is
not expected to amount to anything.
The treasury has paid out $500,000 mon
money than it has taken in duiing the
week. Merchandise expor sare large and
for the week have exceeded last year $4,
500,000 or 17| per cent, while the in¬
crease in imports over last year is s rail.
AT GRANT’S TOMB.
A Member of Lee’s Staff Delivers a
Touching Oration.
A New York dispatch says: The fund
for the Grant monument has been com¬
pleted. That was the announcement
made, amid the cheers of the multitude,
at the Memorial Day exercises Monday
afternoon in front of the tomb of General
Grant. The crowd was a very large one.
The program of exercises was very im¬
pressive find appropriate. The principal
oration was delivered by Colonel Charles
Marshall, who was chief of staff to Gen¬
eral Lee, the confederate commander.
Among other things, he said: “It is not
easy to express the thoughts that the
scene before me inspired in my mind—in
the mind of every man who understands
the full meaning of this occasion. Men who
were arrayed against each other in dead¬
ly strife are now met together to do
honor to the memory of one who led one
part of this audience to complete and
absolute victory over the other, yet in
hearts of the victors there is no feeling
of triumph, and in the hearts of the van¬
quished there is no bitterness; no humil¬
iation.”
After referring to the bitterness of the
conflict and the fact that the combatants
so quickly dispersed at the end of the
war, he said:
“No such peace as our peace ever fol¬
lowed immediately upon such a war as
our war. The exhaus'ed south was com¬
pletely at the mercy of the victorious
north and yet the sound of the last gun
had scarcely died away when, not only
peace, but peace and good will, were re-
estatfiished, and victors and vanquished
both took up the work of repairing the
damages of war and advancing the com¬
mon welfare of the whole country, as if
the old relations—social, commercial and
political between the people of the two
sections had never been disturbed.”
INDIANA THIRD PARTYITES
Hold a State Convention and Adopt a
Platform.
The third party of Indiana met in con¬
vention in Indianapolis Friday, Seven
hundred and twenty delegates wure pres¬
ent. The temperance ques ion threw the
convention into an uproar. By an im¬
mense majority the temperance plank
was excluded from the p atform. The
following is the financial plank:
We demand a national currency, safe,
sound and flexible, issued by the general
government only, as full legal tender for
all debts, public and private, and that
without the u^e of banking corporations;
just, equitable and efficient means of dis¬
tribution direct to the people, as a tax
not to exceed 2 per cent, to be provided
as set forth in the sub treasury plan of
the Farmers’ Alliance, or some other sys¬
tem; also by payments in the discharge
of its obligations for public improve¬
ments. We demand tho free and unlim¬
ited coinage of silver, and condemn Pres¬
ident Harrison for calling an internation¬
al monetary conference and inviting otht r
nations to assist us in fixing the value of
our silver. We regard it as an effort to
demonetize the silver dollar by national
agreement. We demand that the amount
oi circulating medium be speedily in¬
creased to not less than $50 per capita.
We demand a graduated income tax.
We believe that the money of the coun¬
try should be kept as much as possible
iu the hands of the people and hencG
we demand that all national and state
revenue shall be limited to the the nec
< s-ary expenses of the government, eco-
momically and honestly administered.
POLK’S WILL DECLARED VOID
And His Estate Will be Sold for Equa¬
ble Division.
A Nashville dispatch of Tuesday says:
The will of ex-President James K. Polk
has been declared invalid, and his home
place, with his historic mansion and
tomb, being about one acre in the center
of the city, will be sold and the proceeds
divided among fifty or more heirs at law,
who are scattered from New York to
California. President Polk, although a
fine lawyer, attempted to establish a per¬
petuity, and left his place to the state in
trust for the use of the most deserving of
the Polk family, and on this ground the
will was set aside. The place is worth
$50,000
Will Benefit Orange Growers.
A Washington dispatch says: Senaioi

ate Tuesday, a proposed a.endmeut .r
ngricuitura appropriation bill appro-
$5,00G for conducting an invest-
igation of diseases of the orange and
citrus Trait trees, and their cause,
and for experimenting as to their cure,
LOUISIANA DEMOCRATS
Are in a Muddle and Will Send Two
Delegations to Chicago.
Rouge* A dispatch of Wednesday from Bat m
La., says: A final effort to har¬
monize the differences between the Mc-
Enery and Foster factions by a sub-com¬
mission of the rival state central com¬
mittees has just concluded, and has
failed. The McEnery committee has
issued a call for primaries on June 8 to
elect delegates to the state convention at
Baton Rouge June 14 to .--elect delegates
to the national democratic convention,
and to nominate presidential electors.
The Foster committee’.- call was issued
Monday. This cau-es a contc-st ng dele¬

DESIRED TO BE HUNG.
A Strange Story Which Comes from
Bastrop La.
A dispatch of Tuesday from Bastrop,
La., says: S. C. Brigham, the manager
of a plantation on the Island of Deslare,
was shot from ambush by an old negro.
The negro summoned Col. Phillips and
told him he wanted to be hung. Col
Phillips put a rope around the negro’s
□eck, pulled the rope over a limb of a
tree and tho negro was soon dea 1.
GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.
Industrial Development Daring the

The Cha tanooga Tradesman, in its review of
the situation iu the south f r the week end-d

fiom its corr spondents throughout the sonth-
1 rn states s-how that in the overflowed districts
of the Mississippi valley the destruction of
crops has been fullv as gieit as anticipated. It
materially is not believed, however, that the cotton area is

The interest before reported in naw
eottou mills continues, aud several are men-

Sarsaparilla
And It Rescued Him From Danger.
“A year ago I was in very bad condition. I
run down to 125 lbs. The trouble was dys¬
pepsia in its worst form, accompanied by
Nervous Prostration
I could not eat, I could not sleep, and at times
I could scarcely move my hands. I felt that un-
less I could get relief soon that I should
surely die. I at length concluded to try
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, for
Like a Drowning Man
I could catch at a straw. When I began taking
it my face and hands were covered with sores,
which are all gone. After I had been taking it
a couple of weeks I could not deny that I felt
better. I have now taken 3 bottles and as a re¬
sult I weigh 150 lbs., am able to work again and
feel a thousand times better. I am certain that
in a short time by continuing the medicine I
shall be completely cured as I am now so near
it. My friends all express surprise to see such
a change.

“ For two years I suffered terribly
with stomach trouble, and was for
all that time under treatment by a
physician. He finally, after trying
everything, said my stomach was
worn out, and that I would have to
cease eating solid food. On the rec-
ommendation of a friend I procured
a bottle of August Flower. It seem¬
ed to do me good at once. I gained
strength and flesh rapidly. I feel
now like a new man, and consider
that August Flower has cured me.”
