Democrats of Kentucky, Mew Jersey,
Colorado and Washington Act.
THREE OF THE FOUR STATES UN INSTRUCT
ED—-CLEVELAND’S ADMINISTRATION
ENDORSED —PLATFORMS IN BRIEF.
The Kentucky democratic state con -
vention was called to order shortly after
2 o’clock Wednesday by General Castle
man, chairm in of the state committee.
Charles J. Bronston, of Lexington, the
candidate of the Cleveland element was
placed in nomination for temporary chair
man. On behalf of the anti-Cleveland
clement Charles R. Long, of Louisville,
was place lin 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
umph for Mr. Watterson and immediate
ly loud cills wont up for him. Mr Wat
terson spoke for an hour. When Wat
terson had concluded. Congress
man Brcckenridgo, 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
till 8.30 p. m. On reassembling, Con
gres'-mau McCreary was made permanent
chairman. The district delegates were
reported and confiimed. Nominations
for four delegates at large to the national
convention being declared in order, a
number <f cand dates weio placed in
nomination. On m >tion Henry Wattcr
eon was declared a delegate. ’Che calling
of the roll of the counties for ihe 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 the republican pnrty as exemnli
fied in its iniquitous tariff Icgisla'ion, its
advocacy of the infamous force bill, its
extravagant pension laws, the wasting of
j üblic funds, class legislation and cen
tralization, and endorsing the democratic
idea of tariff reform and economy in
government, whereby the great mass of
people would be relieved of unjust and
oppressive burdens of taxation, de.wfhds
a sound and stable currency composed of
or redeemable in gold and silver coin,
declaring it to be the mission of the dem
ocratic parly to preserve the parity in the
value of gold and silver dollars, and
to provide mean*, hy appropriate legis
lation, for tho free coinage of silver,
without detriment to any business inter
est, and to the great relief of the over
tnxed and debt-ridden people; endorses
the democratic administration of Grover
Cleveland and winds up with a roaolu
tion that the de egates to the national
convention go uninstru»ted, except to
use their best endeavors for the success
of the democratic pnrtj and its princi
ples.
NEW JERSEY .
The New Jersey d* mocr itic state con
vention met in Trenton Wednesday.
Judge Chauncey J. Measly, of Mercer
county, was mado temporary chairman.
After the usual tontine proceedings a
recess was taken until 2 o’clock p m.
On reassembling ex Congressman Mc-
Donald, of Hudson county, was made per
munent chairman. The election uf district
delegates followed, and like all other pro
ceedings of the day, was attended with
excitement, there being a sharp contest
in several districts. The convention ad
journed without any speech making.
The following paragraphs from the plat
form aro textual:
Resolved, That with a full recognition
of the responsibility of the democracy of
New Jer.-ey towards the national dem
ocracy, wc name as our candidate for the
presidency, a statesman who boldly took
a deeis ve step in tho way of tarilT reform
and to emphasize our preference, we in
struct our delegates to cast the vote of
the state for Grover Cleveland as long as
bis name is before the convention.
Resolved, That we condomn the policy
of the free coinage of depreciated legal
tender silver, and also further purchases
of silver hull on under the republican
legislation of 1890; and we believe that
the whole matter of the use of silver as a
money metal should bo relegated to tho
future 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 in the direc
tion of tariff reform as laid down by
President Cleveland, and says the demo
cratic party should continue its battle for
tariff reform until that reform is embod
ied in the statutes of the United 8 ates.
The administration of Governor Abbett
is endorse ). The remainder of the plat
form is devoted to state politics.
COLORADO.
The Colorado democratic stale conven
tion met at Denver Wednesday. T. M.
Patterson, Dr. Paul, J. M. Orman and
Theodore O'Donnell wero chostn dele
gates at large to Chicago. The platform
is a long one. It asked for a modifiea
tion of the existing tariff laws and dtt
(manded as a right the free and unlimited
•coinage 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 tho Chicago
nominee unless such declaration was
made. Every mention of David B. Hill’s
name was loudly applauded.

vention met at Nashville Thursday and

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 l/ecessities of internal
trade and commerce among the people;
and we further favor the parity of the
two metals at a commercial unit of value
and as legal tender lift the payment of
all debts, public and private, ai existed
under tho laws of the United States
dowu to the infamous aud surreptitious
demonetization of silver in 1873 by the
republican party; and we further favor

SCENES OF DEVASTATION.
Whole Towns Swept Away in Ihe West
by Ihe 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 guage is 49.8 feet. All com
munication with the back country, ex
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 tho laws of
gravitation, taking not only farmers’
fences, but actually taking his crops by
the roots, soil and all, and cirrying it no
man knows w here. Whole fh Ids are re
ported from which every particle of loose
soil has been swept away. While the
back winter 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 pouring over the bmks into Bayou
Btrtholomew in a number of places and
overflowing that stream, dam 'ging tho
planting community along its banks.
A trip through a portion of the sub
merged districts of the Arkansas and
White rivers reveals the fact that the sto
ries of suffering have not been half t dd.
Without any attempt at exaggeration it
can be said that the entire valley is in a
condition bordering on n state of horror.
In I). sha county, Arkansas, one of the
richest farming counties in the south,
thero are not one thousand ncres of dry
land to be seen outside of Laconi circles.
Not a faun has escaped and of the entire
population, with the exception of a few
negroes, who are roosting in the second
stories of houses, not a human being is to
lie seen. Ilollindel, up tho White river,
has been swept off the fuce of the earth
and the remnants of houses are lodged
among the limbs ot 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 tho Arkansas
river and is up to tho second story of
buildings.
Red Fork, a place of 400 people. Is no
nioro, and tie samo can be said of Pen
dleton. Relief boats have come in from
that section, bringing surviving families.
Largo plantations, known as the Black
more place, Allen Maples and Green
place, are under water, and ruined, and
tenants aro camping around on high
spots of ground, wet and hungry. All
around Catfish point the waters conn
rushing in from the Arkanses river,
sweeping through forty miles of planta
tion propoitv.
THE LAST ROBBER CAUGHT
Who Hold Up a Florida Train and Mur
dered tho Messenger.
For two or throe days i fficers of the
Southern Exptess Company, with three
sheriffs and urmod posse with blood
•h winds, have'been scouring the country
penetrated by railroads leading ou of
Palatka for Bob Floyd, the fou 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., says: Bob Floyd is now
nero. He was captured by Sheriff Fen
nell and his posse at Joneivillc, at 10:15
o’ch ck Saturday night. He was taken at
the houst of a Mr. Benefield,for whom he
had worked two years ago, when he first
came to the state. Tho posse surround
ed Benefield’s house and Floyd surren
ered without any trouble.
floyd's story.
Floyd is a slight, boyish-looking lad,
aud told his story frankly and freely,
and impressed all who heard him
is tieing a simple country boy, led by
"'ll companions and whisky into the
> ommission of crime. He has made a
c nfession, giving all the facts in the
vase. His account of the planning uf
the attempted robbery tallies very closely
with the confession of Futch, who is in
the Orlaml > jail, an i 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” ntiu murder all implicated in
this crime are either captured or killed.
The Southern Express Company has
pushed the investigation most vigorously
from the start, and has spent a large sum
of money in prosecuting the search. The
sheriff* of Orange, Volusia, Putnam,
Clay, Huniltou and Alachua counties
have all done excellent work, and at
least 2,000, in all, have from time to
time beeu'uuder arms in various posses at
-cores of points-

A Washington dispatch of Thursday

Hold a State Convention and Adopt a
Platform.

vention in Indianapolis Friday. Seven
hundred and twenty delegates were pres
ent. The temperance question threw the
convrntion into an uproar. By an im
mense majority the temperance plauk
was excluded from tho platform. 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 us-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 e>f silver, nnd condemn Pres
ident Harrison for calling an internation
al monetary conference and inviting other
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
ot circulating medium be speedily in
creased to not less than SSO per capita.
Wo demand a graduated income tax.
We believe that the money of the coun
try should be kept ns much as possible
in the hands of the people and hence
wc demand that all national and state
revenue shall be limited to the the nec
> s*ary expenses of the government, cco
n imically and honestly administered.

The Chattanooga Tradesman, in its review ot
iho situation in the south hr the weekend d
May 28, 1892, states il at the reports receiv d

As a Drowning Man
Clutches at a Straw
So Mr. Powell Took Hood’s
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.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
Is Indeed a wonderful medicine, and its
claims are hilly justified in my experi
ence.” B. C. Powell, Bigelow, N. Y.

Flower”
“ 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.”

Cost of Steamship Working.
The cost of working a steamship is in
comparison wiih many industries, exces
sve. Durii g last year six of the steam
ships of ft large company c ifned a gross
pre-fit of |350,0f10. Ow of that sum there
was first psid for the wages and provis
ions of the crew $60,000. Fort charges
came next in amount, and over $55,000
was so paid, while the cost of insurance
was $43,000. The bunker coal cost $35,-
000, the cost of loading and discharging
was $40,000, and the commissions paid
to merchants and brokers, with dispatch
money, aggregated $20,000.
When deck and entrees stores, the
cost of docking, painting, etc., and the
co-t of management is added, the total
expenditures U brought up to $315,000,
so ihat only about one-tenth of the
original gross profit remains to be divided
