The evening light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1881-1883, 1883-02-06

CONSIDERABLE comment is made upon the
fact that the first Baptist church in this city
has passed resolutions to exclude from mem
bership all persons engaged in the sale or use
of strong drink for social purpose or as bev-
erage. The idea was no doubt one of good
intent, but it savors too much of impairment
dictation and is an undue interference with the
personal liberty of members. If individual
members think it right to abstain, or can not
control their appetite for drink, let them
become tetotalers, but if others choose to
indulge in the social glass let them do so, pro-
vided that they do not 60 to excess. Tenn
perance, like honesty, has wide meaning
and men may be Incorporate in other things,
as well as in the use of strong drink. If the
Golden Rule, $40 unto others as you would
be done unto," is applied in this, as in other
cases, it will be found that those who abstain
have no more right to exclude those who tenn
Perately indulge in liquor than they have a
right to prohibit them from abstaining. The
action was undoubtedly as iniudicious as il
was impromptu, and the writer thinks that
there IS sufficient number Of temperate but
honest, liberal and independent spirits in the
church to safely predict that the ill-advised
resolution will be reconsidered and rescinded.

LOUISVILLE, May 18th, lao P. NJ
After fearfully uprosrious time Hon.
Proctor Knott has been made the demo-
cratic nominee for Governor Of Kentucky.
When the Convention met at 1920 A. NJ
Judge SauAey in a short speech withdrew
the name of Judge 0wsley and the taking
of the seventh ballot began. 1t was then
a matter Of much interest to know how his
strength would go. Casey led Of with 4
for Jones and Gsrrard, Lincoln and Marion
followed for Buckner. The vote progressed
with but little excitement till nearly thro'
when county after county proposed to
change their votes. This created great
confusion and it was finally decided to be-
gin afresh on the seventh ballot. Some Is
or twenty counties had been called and
Gen. Buekner receiving no vote, Mr. Mar
tin, Of Hart, withdrew his name.
This left but two men before the Con-
vention, Knott and Jones. A fresh start
was taken on the seventh ballot and then
came the tug of war. The deafening APP
plause that would follow any accession to
the ranks Of either candidate greatly re-
tarded business and an hour or more was
consumed in taking the ballot. 1t was
evident that unless something was done,
Jones would be nominated and in fact il
was said once that he had majority of the
votes but before il was announced ques-
ton arose as to whether Owen county del.
egation had the right to divide her vote az
ter having been instructed TO vote vs.
unit for Knott. 1t was decided that she
shouldn't and the five votes that she had
given Jones was changed TO Knott. Then
Louisville made changes in her vote and
other counties followed and the Jones men
seeing that the jig was up for their candi
date withdrew his name and moved that
Rnott's nomination be made unanimous,
which was done amid the widest enthusi-
lsm. The convention was a perfect Bed.
am for three hours and at one time fears
we're expressed that il would break up in
row.
A committee was appointed to inform
Mr.. Knott OF his good fortune and he was
conducted TO the stage, where he made a
Sell-timed three.minule speech Of thanks.
The other candidates for Governor were
allied for, but none save Gen. Buckner APP
'eared. lie spoke yeiy briefly and pledged
lis support to the nominee. The Conven.
ion then adjourned till BPM.
The Lincoln delegation voted for Jones
m the last ballot, which will be surprise
o most Of their constituents.
Next to Owsley, Knott was my choice

manent Secretary, together with the
others named. The bone Of conten.
ton of the report was the resolution
to drop the hindmost candidate after
the seventh ballot. There was a mi.
nority report against it, and vote
being taken on il by a call of coun.
ties, il was lost by 465 to 276. The
majority report was, after the report Of
the Committee on Credentials, adopt
ed and the bslloting began. There
being III counties in the State and
all with one or two exceptions repre-.
sented, it takes nearly an hour to poll
the vote and figure the result, which
on the first ballot showed Knott 1891;
Jones 2O5f; Buckuer 14Ss; Owsley
11Of and Jacob GOT, on a total vote of
7S9. The Owsley men were greatly
elated over the result and showed their
enthusiasm by liberal cheers. The
Convention then adjourned till s Pm.
The first ballot at the night session
showed loss to Owsley Of 20 votes.
The next gave him 94f.

resulted as follows, the Convention

Bishop Dudley opened the proceed

The Convention is noisy one, but

presiding with his usual grace and

than the Judge.
1t is conceded that Judge Owsley
was nominated in handsomer man.
ner than any of the candidates. The
Commercial says of it: "Col. Welch's
speech in nominating Owsley was the
gem of the convention. 1t was not
only a fine piece of true eloquence,
but it was manly statement of fact.
Also it will be good republican cam.
