Of this last sum. however. 5520,079 was aelg-ntorage. leaving 51.077,lttt to he held the treasury. It appears, therefore, that the whole coinage under the act has keen 537.305.487. and that the amount to be held In the treasury for redemption purposes was 530,657.806. Of this sum 51.121,000 have been used In the redemption of notes, and that amount has keen retired and cancelled. No treasury notes have been redeemed In sliver unless silver was demanded, the policy and practice of the depart ment having: been to redeem In the kind M money demanded by the holder of a note. The presentation of the treasury notes for redemption of silver began hi August. 1803. when there was a great scarcity of currency of small denomi nations. and there mms redeemed during that month 51.273.267. which Is the larg est amount that has been presented In ony one month. As sli'own above, there were held In the treasury at the begin nlng of this administration 129,480.461 sflver coln-d from f-' bullion purchase, under the act of July 14. 1890. notwith standing the fact that 51.597.223 has been coined since that time, there are now on hand only 520,189.724.” Dalle, *7.00 - Year.

Lexington, Sopt. 17.—Everything quiet tonight, tho uomlnutiou of Owe™ being conceded. It has, however, been u more exciting day than any of the preceding week. When tho Owens men cl-auned tho nom.natiou by a de cisive majority Saturday nlgut tue Breckinridge men stood pat. Icstenlav thoy worked harder than ever. Today it became known that their representa tives bad been dispatched into the utf- forent parts of tho district to get nil evidence, with a view of contestlug the uomtnation before the Demoemtle eoh- gress-ohid district committee, which meets at Frankfort next fitturday, nr.d which is the returniug board that makes the olhclal couut and declaration us to who is tho nominee. Tills com mlttee Is composed of one uiembel from each county. Fayette county, tin, borne of Breckinridge, bus two Icgisla- tive districts uud licucc two mum hers of this committee, each of the other -seven counties having one. The mem ber of the state Democratic committee for the Seventh district is the tenth member of the committee, which was known to stand six for Breekinrldgo and four anti-Breckinridge. As this committee has done every thing ln Its power for Breckinridge in hxing ft late date for the primaries, adopting the challenge rule and every thing else he wanted, the Owens meu were alarmed today on finding out that Breckinridge’s agents were at work with n view to presenting evidence for n contest before tills committeo next Saturday. They learned of letters sent to the committee of the agencies in different counties working up tho case and beliovcd there was a well planned purposo to throw out the veto of cer tain preclnets. on the ground of Irreg ularities and declare Breckinridge the nominee. It was promptly announced that four members of the district com mittee would,snake a minority- report Saturday and appeal to the Democrats. This meant that Uwous and Brccklu ridge would both be candidates and light to « finish ln November. Mean time tlie Republicans, who hold their convention hero September 20, liegan to regard their unnamed nominee os the favorite and there was much ex citement. Tlie tide was turned in tue afternoon when B. J. Welsh, the com mitteeman from Breckinridge's home and one of his strongest supporters, announced tlmt ho would never vote to go behind tho returns when Uie com mittee met at Frankfort. As this would leave the committeo a tie, or three to live la any event, and as other Breck inridge men on tho district committeo who had stood by him to the last were not disposed to go behind the returns, tho old guard of tho silver-tongued ora tor gavo up tho struggle. They will not, however, concede the plurality of 32U, which the Owens met, claim to night from complete returns. •Among Col. Breoklnrldgc's strongest friends are tho nominees hero on tho county ticket, nnd Uiey, as well as other county candidates, wero not dis posed to hazard their interests by as sisting ta Uirowing out any of the Ow ens precincts nt Frankfort next Satur day. It is not likely Uiat there will Iks any moro agitation. OoL Breckinridge will servo tl’l next March. • A'NTI-TILLMANITES. A Meeting Held in Jacksonville, Fla., to Encourago Homo Folks.
