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.

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. WASHINGTON. The democratic state convention of Washington met at Vancouver Wednes day.

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- FOR MORE PENSION MONEY Commissioner Kaum Makes an Appeal to the Appropriation Committee.

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.

Industrial Development During Hie Week Ended May 28tli. 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 from its corr, spondents throughout the soutli < m states show that in the overflowed district of the Mississippi valley the destruction of crops has been fullv as gioit as anticipated.
