lie Is for Free Silver-Only One
Ballot Taken.
The Kentucky democratic conven
tion called to order at Louisville Tues
day was tho biggest, most excited slid
turbulent that, tho history of tho party
has ever known. In attendance it sur
passed any other held for a generation.
Interest in tho currency question is
so great that every delegate present
had his nerves strained to tho Inst de
gree of tension. Yet with all the de
sire for harmony was evident from tho
start. Never bofore wore there so
many complications, for tho flood of
candidates crossed and recrossod each
other, mid tho ghost of the banquot,
tho dreadful Unsocial problem, kept
waving its ghostly form boforo the af
frighted eyes of tho convention.
Promptly at noon John D. Carroll,
ehairmau of tho stato centrnl commit
tee, called tho body to order.
The organization of the committee
ou resolution*, whioh ia oomposod of
ono man from each of tho eleven dis
tricts and two at largo to bo Appointed
by the chair, shows a majority of gold
men in.tho oommitteo. Of tho clovon
already chosen, seven are gold advo
cates and four for freo silver.
Nominations being next in order,
Judge William Bcckuor and ex-Cou-
grcKsmau W. J. Stono, of Lyous coun
ty, were nominated for chairman.
The voting was watched with much in
terest, ns tho voto was a test one,
Heokner being tho Hardin man and
Stono tho choico of tho Clay moo.
Judge Decknor received 448J votes on
tho first ballot against 419) rcooivod
by Stono. Cbairuiaiu Decknor made
a very good speech, urging harmony
and submission to tho will of the ma
jority. When he referred to silvor
tho hall wqb rent with yells and wlton
ho pralsod Cleveland’s honesty and
courago another demonstration took
place.
When ho had concludod tho organ
ization was completod nnd then tho
chairman gave tho silveritos a shook by
dividing the committeemen from tho
stato at largo among tho two factions.
On tho platform committee ho named
Senator Lindsay and Congressman
Claridy, represontativoly gold and sil
ver men, but not extremists. The
sound money men then had an qvor-
whelming preponderance ou tho com
mittee.
Tho convention adopted tho majori
ty report of tho committee on resolu
tions, which was ns follows:
To tho Democratic Con volition in
Bcesion at Louisville—Tho undersign
ed, a majority of your committee, bog
leave to submit as their report tho ac
companying resolutions:
J. The democracy of Kentucky in
convention assembled congratulates
tho country upon tho repeal of tho
McKinley tariff law and upon tho evi
dences wo havo ou every hand of re
turning prosperity, under operation of
reduced and equalized tariff luxation,
ami wo denounce as fraught with
danger and disaster the threut of our
republican adversaries to re establish
protective tariff and reinnugurato the
policy of unequal taxation which, in
connection with general misgovern-
mont by tho republican party, culmi
nated in tho business panic of 1893.
“2. Tho democratic party, which
has always stood for the separation of
church and state, for the sake alike of
civil qml religious freedom, does not
hesitato to condemn all efforts to cre
ate d stinction among citizens, because
of differences in faith, as repugnant to
an onlightoncd ago and abhorrent to
tho instincts of American freemen.
“3. We reaffirm without qualifica
tion tho principles and policies de
clared by the national democratic plat
form of 1892 and declare that our
present national democratic adminis
tration is entitled to the thanks of tho
party for its honest, courageous and
statesmanlike management of public
affairs; and wo express our undiinin-
ished confidence in the democracy and
patriotism of President Grover Cleve
land and his distinguished co-advisor
and secretary, John U. Carlisle, of
Kentucky.”
The fourth and fifth resolutions aro
devoted to stato matters.
further declare that both President
Cleveland nnd .Secretary Carlisle aro
entitled to the unqualified indorsement
of tho Amotioan people for maintain
ing the credit of the government and
their issunneo of $160,000,000 of inter
est bearing bonds is hereby expressly
indorsed.'
"Tho undersigned members of tho
oommitteo on resolutions believing the
democratic party of Kentucky should
plainly declare either in favor of true
bimetallism, or tho gold standard,
offer tho following as a separate reso
lution and ask its adoption:
" 'Resolved. That we believe in tho
coinage of both gold and silvor as tho
primary money of tho country into
legal tender dollars, receivable in pay
ment of nil its debts, public and pri-
vnto, upon terms of exact equality.’ ”
The minority report was signed by
three of the committee. After a num
ber of heated apeeehos had been made,
tho report of the minority of the com
mittee on resolutions, reaffirming tho
platform of 1892, but refusing to iu-
dorso President Cleveland ami Secre
tary Carlisle, was defeated by a voto
of 584 to 881. Several counties
changed their voto to "no”afterwards,
so (lint the final voto was 598 ngaitiBt
the adoption of tho minority report to
270 f» r it.
The next question was on tho adop
tion of the second minority report,
which vros signed by the froo silver
men. Only 24) votes woro oaRt for
the second minority resolution. Tho
question was then ou tho majority ro-
port. It was adopted by a vote of
644 to 233.
Hunlln Nominated.
After tho nominating and seconding
speeches were concludod, the secretary
called tho roll of counties for a nomi
nation for governor. Hundreds of
persons in the hall jotted down tho
vote as it was called out, nnd before
the ballot was finished such a scene as
is rarely witnessed outsido of a (l?mo*
erwtic convention in the south ensued.
It was soon that Hardin had received
the 440 votes necessary to a choico, and
his adherents eroatod a scone of pande
monium for a while. Tho air was full
of hats and hurrahs, and tho counties
which had been for Clay, in ninny in
stances, bogau to change their votes
for tho successful candidate. The bal
lot before any changes were made was :
Hardin 466).
Clay 338.
Ilenry Wattorson 3.
Ex-Governor Buckner 3.
W. J. .Stono’ 63.
Only ono ballot was ncodod. Tho
representative of the freo silvor olo-
ment hod plenty of votesto spare,after
receiving tho necessary number.
At Thursday's session the bnlnnoo of
tho stato ticket was nominated as fol
lows:
For lieutenant govomor, R. T.
Tyler.
For treasurer, R. C. Ford.
For auditor, L. C. Norman.
For rogistor of tho land ofliee, G. B.
Hwang.
For attorney general, W. J. Hendrix.
For secretary of stato, Honry H.
Halo.
For superintendent of pnblio in
struction, Edward Porter Thompson.
For commissioner of agriculture,
Ion B. Nall.
During tho progress of tho nomina
tion tho convention cninn near ending
in a riot. It was tho most bitterly
contested race of tho session to which
tho contest for governor was compara
tively a quiet affair—tho raco for sec
retary of state. With the exception
of governor, the offloo of secretary of
state is tho best paying in tho gift of
tho convention and thoro was warm
rivalry between tho four candidates
for the nomination. Henry H. Hale,
tho present incumbent; John W.
Headley, J. Htoddard Johnson and C.
W. Metcalfe wero the candidates.
Each had a largo following and four
ballots wero taken boforo there was
any result.
Tho committee on permanent or
ganization made a bulky report. Tho
only new thing recommended was that
the state central committee consists of
fourteen hereafter instead of ono from
each of the eleven congressional dis
tricts as heretofore. Of tho three new
inen the chairman will be one and the
other two will bo named by the com
mittee at each convention.
The convention was in continuous
possion from 9:30 a. m. lo 7 :30 p. m.,
nnd then adjourned sine die.
In tho last hours of tho couvontion

“Unsolved,
flH follows
“We, the undersigned meinhers of
the committee on resolutions, dissent
from tho views express'd by the ma
jority of tho committee in resolution
So. 3, which is proposed as an in
dorsement of the present national
democratic administration, becanso
said resolution is ambiguous, obscuro
and uncertain in its meaning, nnd is,
in our opinion, an attempt to straddle |
tho most vitnl question now attracting
the attention of tho American people.
And while the undersigned do not
concur in Ihe views expressed in said
resolution, nor in the views expressed
in tho amendment, which they here
with submit, they nevertheless believe
that it is the duty of the democratic
party to express itself in clear and un-
irabiguons t£rms on this subject,
i he financial policy of tho present
democratic administration deserves nil
unqualified indorsement nt tho hands
of tho democratic party of Kentucky,
or it does not deserve such indorsement,
anil with that view of taking the opin
ion of representatives of the democrats
of Kentucky in convention assembled,
we submit tho following as an amend
ment to the said resolution :
“ ‘Resolved, I5y tho democrats in
Kentucky in convention assembled,
that the present democratic adminis

whole country for its statesmanlike
management of public affairs, and wo
TitADIC TOPICS*.
Collections In tlto South Reported Slow
and Ituslness Moderate,
ilradslreot’s report on business for
the past week says:
“Dominating trade conditions of tho
w.nek are continued largo in demand
nnd further increase in prices for iron
nnd steel, which havo surprised even
tho trade. Tho jump in rail priooH
nnd scarcity of and higher valuations
for nails have tended to produce tem
porary scarcity.
“With tho further advance in prices
of iron and steel should be coupled
the gain of 1 ocnt per pound for wool,
which apparently began ils journey to
a higher level about a fortnight ngo.
Hotter quotations havo also been made
for cheaper grade woolen goods, 'JJ
cents per yard for prints, bessemor
pig, billotH, wheat, pork, lard, hogs,
shoes and copper, while declines in
prices are recorded for flour, corn,
oats, eoffeo, naval storoa and cattle.
Sugar, coal and lumber are prnctioally
unchanged.
“Totnl bnnk clearings, $1,011,-
000,000, while less for cities than a
week ago by <1.5 per cent, are 32 per
cent. larger than in the last week of
dune, 1804; 0 per oont. larger than in
that week in 1803, a month after tho
pnuio had got fully under way, but 2
per cent, smaller than in tho corres
ponding week ill 1802.
Business failures in tho United
Stntes for Hix mouths, as reported lo
Bradstreet's, show a marked falling off
in the second quarter of the past six
mouths, iih was to bo expected,but not
such a decline relatively as in the son-
end quarter of 1894, which resoled in
a total for six months of 0,597, or 1
per cent mere thnu last year ; 0 por
cent, more than in 1893, nnd 9 per
nt. more than in tho first half of
1891, after tho Baring ernali. But tho
total liabilities have shrunk more Ilian
$3,000,900 from lustyonr and more than
one-half within two years, pointing to
tho excess in the number of failures
being duo rather to continued effects
of tho recent business disturbance on
mailer enterprises than to now and
unfavorable conditions.
“At New York tliero is nearly the
usual volume of midsummer trade in
staplu goods. At I’hitadelphia tho im
provement in demand for staples and
for iron and stool as well as at l’itls-
bnrg, is again conspicuous. There is
relatively less gain nt Buffalo, but lit
|tallimoro tho outlook for fail business
is regarded as excellent.
“This tavors of a general revival of
business nt tliu south, lmt merchants
of most of' tho 'leading cities in that
region report that thn.demand contin
ues very moderate and collections are
slow. Cotton and fruit crops in tho
south Atlantic states promise well nnd
Ihe business outlook is reported en
couraging. liiRossnnt rains in Texas
hnvo hurt the crops. Increased ship
ments by Galveston jobbers are report
ed duo rather morn to the freight war
thnu to increasing demand."
That this convention
adopt tho rooster or chicken cook ss
tho emblem or dovieo of tho demo
cratic party, for use nt elections."
Load cries of approval greeted this
resolution and it was passed by a unan
imous vote.
KICK AGAINST Al.TGKCD.
Republican legislators Refuse to Take
Action on Ills Keipiest.
At n caucus tho republican majority
of tho Illinois legislature refused
take action on tho request of Governor
Altgold to increase the tux levy. They
have prepared an address to tho people
of tho state, which declares that thero
ih no occasion for an increase of tho
levy and say tho governor simply
called the extra session for political
i ffect. Tho democrats have prepnrod
a counter statement attacking the fig
ures made by the republicans and do
claring tlio.u to be erroneous in sev
eral respects. It iB understood in case
the republicans refuso to net on the
call of tho governor and adjourn sine
die, he will call them back again.

FITZSIMMONS ON TRIAL
For tlic Killing of Con Itlordan In a
Spui'i'lng llout.
At Syracuse, N. Y., tho twelfth ju
ror in tho Fit/,simmon trial for man
slaughter in the killing of Don. Biur-
dan in a sparring bout, was scoured
Friday morning. The trial proper
opened with a motion by Uitzsimmon's
attorney to compel the prosecution to
elect upon which indictment Fitzsim
mons was to ho tried. This motion
was denied. There arc four counts in
the indictment.
In bin opening address to tho jury,
which lasted about an hour, District
Attorney Shove said that lie would
prove tho blow given Itlordan by Fit/-
uinunoDs ennsoil his death. Ho said
that he would prove by competent wit-
os that Itiordnu oollapsod imme
diately lifter the blow on tho chin and
k, nnd that that blow cracked tlto
white matter of Uiordan’s bruin.
There would ho no contention by the
prosecution that Fitzsimmons intended
to kill lUorilau. F.xport witnesses from
among the beat physiciana in Syraenso
would bo culled to show that the blow
was tho direct cause of death. The
district attorney hinted that there was
dirty work on the part of Fitzsimmons
in this case, and ho would show it. lie
said that Fitzsimmons had condemned
lliordan's drunkenness several timcH
just boforo tho bout.
Tho prosecution likened the light tap
given Biorilan to tlic kick of a mule,
mill lie told the jurors Hint wliou tho
loneo was in they would see that
they would prefer the latter of the two.

MYERS FOUND GUILTY.
Convicted for tl»o Second Time for the
Murder of Crowley.
Tho second trial of Will J. Myers
for tho murder of Forest L. CJrowloy
came to an end at Atlnntu Tuesday.
Throe ballots by the jurors who hold
Myers’ life in tho balance settled h h
fate, and for tho second time ho was
deolurod to bo tho murderer of Forest
L. Crowley.
If Myers is innocent, despite the
overwhelming cloud of circumstantial
evidence against him, his look when
tho verdict was read might have sprung
from that knowledge which ho himself
alone can hold to as n certainty.
Thero was not a visible quiver of a
miisolo when the jury filed into tho
courtroom nnd when tho verdict was
read, Myers was less nervous than
the several hundred on-lookers. No
apparent chnngo of countenance was
to bo soon, and of all those present
there was not one who did not appear
to hold raoro interest in tho verdict
than the young prisoner himself.
Mr. Moyers, his lending counsel, is
still confident that Myers will not bo
hung nnd unhesitatingly declares that
Myers will never stop upon tho gal
lows. He says that an application for
a now trial will bo put iu und that a
new trial will bo secured. Of this ho
says he is certain.
FRUIT MEN SATISFIED.
They Huccocil In Getting Lower Ratos
or Freight.
Tho fruit men of Georgia havo won
the fight against tho railroads and will
get a lower rate of freight. This was
leoidcd at the close of the hearing at
Atlanta, but just what the new rate
will bo cannot be determined until a
conference is hold between the rate
oommitteo of the Southern Bail way
ami Steamship Association and the
railroad commissioners.
The members of tho rato committee
have been summoned to appear before
tho commissioners for a conference.
This is necessary, for under the law,
tho rate being for interstate commerce,
complaint can be made to the state
commission and if it considers tlic rate
excessive it will h> decide ami will
then call on tho rate committee to re
(luce it.
If it fails to reduce tho rate, then
Ihe stato commission will appeal to
tho interstate commission for a reduc
tion.
Tho fruit men made a gnllnnt fight
and they aro rejoicing in tho victory
tboy have won.

A Hint to Husbands.
A significantocctirronco is reported
from Louisville. Matt Schmidt had
occasion to slay out later the other
night than usual, and his wife, who
is a nervous woman, became very
much alarmed for fear of burglars,
or something. She locked up tho
house tightly and went to bed, and
when Mr. Schmidt came homo and
tried to get in ho could not. He rung
tho boll, and as there was no re
sponse ho forced the door and wont
upstairs. IIis wifo was apparently
sleeping peacefully, so he went to
bed. In the morning he discovered
that sho had heard him trying to get
in, and it had frightened hor so that
sho had entirely lost tho use of her
voice. 11 is to bo feared that thero
will now bo an epidemic of men com
ing homo late and frightening their
wives by forcing the door. Possibly,
however, it may not havo tho same
effect ou every nervous woman.
year, instead of being over $43,000,000,
would have been over $63,000,000.
At tho beginning of each fiscal year
a number of changes nre always made
in the executive departments This
year, because of the examination of
congrops, based upon tho Dockery
commie-lion report, tho ohanges havo
been unusually numerous. In the
tho treasury, ill addition to the
changes announced in the coast an 1
geodetic survey, several days ago,
seven removals, nineteen appointments
nnd fifty-three promotions were made
Friday all being in the classified ser
vice.
Tho receipts for tho fiscal year nre
ns follows:
1891-C5 $312,500 000
H'.a'.q 207.722,010
189 MW . 385,810.0:8
The expenditures for the same years
were ns follows.
1804-03 $050 000,000
1H03 01 305.525 270
It02-03 343,477,934
The deficit for the. past two fiscal
years wero as follows:
1804-05 4-13,500. OOn
1803 01 00,803,200
For tho yenrs 1892-93 the excees of
receipts over revenue amounted to only
$2,394,674.
Prior to that year thero had boon an
excess in receipts over expenditures for
every fiscal year siuco 1865, the lowest-
excess in ull those years up to 1892-93
having been in tlm year 1874 when the
receipts exceeded the expenditures by
only $2,344,882.
On February 2, 1895, Becretary
Carlisle, in an estimate furnished to
congress, stated that for tho calendar
year 1895, tho surplus reveiiuo over
expenditures would amount to $22,-
563,023. Hix mouths of this period
have now passed and the deficit for
this six months is $16,750,000.
Assistant. Secretary Curtis, in a pub
lished statement, estimated that tho
deficit up to December 1, 1895, would
bo $35,000,000. This ^stimato was
made after tho income tax had been
declared unconstitutional by tho su
premo court of the United States. It
was based upon the increased appro
priations made by tho last congress,
which went into effect July 1st, and
which include $5,000,000 for the
sugar bounty and inci eased inter
est charges on account of tho several
bond issues, aggregating $162,100,000.
For tho present month of July, it is
estimated by tho treasury, if reooipts
continue normal, that the expendi
tures will exceed the reooipts by about
$12,000,000 or $13,000,000, July be
ing an interest-paying month and
the payments on account of pensions
being also especially heavy. For tho
month of June just- ended the receipts
havo exceeded tins expenditures by
nearly $2,000,000, the first month since

The entire infantry ainiy of tho ser

Expenses of the Weather Bureau.
The expenditures for tho four years
of civilian administration <»f the weath
er burenu ending June 30, are esti
mated at $3,398,000. The appropria
tions for the same period have been
$3,032,953. These facts nre pointed
out in an olfieial statement detailing
tho growth Ul the bureau. The ex
penditures fort tho*presont fiscal year
will aggregate $835,000 against total
appropriations of $878,439. Tho esti
mated surplus for tho bureau remain
ing in the treasury July 1, will ho
$43,439. The average annual expense
of the service for ten years under the
military organization was $924,661
and under four years of civil organiza
tion $849,523.
To Protect Crows.
In a recent agricultural department
report, farmers are cautioned to re
frain from waging a general war of ex
termination of crow nnd blackbirds.
While at times they injure crops, their
depredations, according to the depart
ment, can usually bo prevented. On
tho other hand they do incalculable
good by destroying insects. The grain
eaton by thorn under ordinary circum
stances does not enuso serious loss, as
much of it consists of scattered or
waste kernels. Their occasional de
scent on corn or wheat ’fields in
flocks of hundreds or thousands in
dicates that tlio species is too abund
ant and should he reduced. Practic
able means should bo taken by farm
ers to protect themselves and ex
treme penalties inlliotcd if tho crop
and the birds’ lives cannot both bo
saved. Another report doprocatos
tho gonoral condemnation of roptorial
birds for tho offense of a few. It la
ments the lack of knowledge of tho
lifo histories of those birds on tho part
of legislative committees that draft
tho game laws of tho various states.
That tho beneficial species of hawks
and owls will eventually bo protected,
it claims there is not tho slightest
doubt. When farmers aro convinced
that tho birds aro their friends, they
will demand protection for them, and
already loading agricultural and sports
men journals are deploring the indis
criminate slaughter.

but of course ono shouldn’t mind a
little thing like that.
Bingo—Certainly not
Kingley—Then tho pipes wero put
In wrong, and had to he replaced.
Bingo—That usually happens.
Kingloy—Oil,yes. Thou I negloctod
my business for throe months trying
to find the architect, and that cost
mo a pretty penny.
Bingo—But you expected that.
Kingley—Cortainly. After the place
was finished 1 found my old furniture
wouldn’t do, and I had to got a now
outfit! Thon my cellar flooded, tho
roof leakod and tho piazza warped;
but those things aren’t anything to
tho trouble I’m in now.
Bingo—What’s tlio matter now?
Kingloy—I can’t soil tho house.
