The Kentucky Democrats Nominate
Him for Governor.
LOUISVILLE, May 1.-THE democratic state
convention assembled this morning. EARLY in
the action the name of Owsley was Withdrawn;
then the contest was left between Knott. Jones
and Buckner. 1t became apparent that Buck
ner could not win and his friends withdrew his
name Then the trouble began in earnest and
the hurrah was at its loudest. It was almost
impossible to do anything, SO great waa
the confusion, but at last result waa
about to be reached when owing to
numerous changes the secretary was ordered
to cali the roll again. Pending this call the
widest enthusiasm existed aad it was almost
impossible to know what was being Done. FL
nally the friends of Jones, seeing the drift OF
the tide, Withdrew his name and Mr.. Knott was
declared the nominee of the party for gov
ernor. There is the usual dissatisfaction and
complaint but the motion to make unanl-
nous was carried easily and Knott wes &C.
cepted as the candidate for the party. 1t
would be useless to recapitulate the vote as the
secretaries were never equal to footing it up IN
the confusion pending the announcement OF
the result. Buckner and Owsley made fine
speeches accepting the result and every one was
in good humor. The following resolutions were
reported from the committne and adopted:
Resolved: That the Democrats of
Kentucky in convention assembled
reaffirm our unab b~ted confidence in
and affection for the principles and policy EN-
bodied in the organic law of the democratic
party adopted at the national democratic con-
vention held at st. Louis in 1876 and ratified
at Cinnati in 1880.
Second-That believing the highest security
of popular government depends on the inteIli-
gence of the people, we declare it to be the duty
Of the legislature of this commonwealth to foster
a wise and efficient system of public schools.
Third-That our laws in relation to revenue
and taxation should be 80 framed as to secure
equality in rate of assessments as nearly as pos
sible and insure the collection of revenue in the
most convenient and inexpensive manner.
Fourth--That a convention to amend
our present state constitution should
be called as soon as practicable, under
the forms of law, in order to bring
our constitution in line with the progress of the
age. We favor developments of the resources
Of the state by friendly legislation, inviting
capital and immi yratiou from abroad. We send
words of cheer and congratulations to the de-
mocracy of the Union on the magnificent pros
poets Of victory in the next presidential cleo
ton, and we assure them as heretofore, that the
Old Guard of this commonwealth will be at
the front of battle for the fight for the good of
the whole people of our republic"
Balloting for lieutenant governor was pro-
gresslng without result at o'clock, when the
convention adjourned.

Strong and Pointed Language From
an Irish Editor.
CHICAGO, May 1.-THE Citizen, published by
John T. Finnerty, member Of congress from the
Third Illinois district, has the following edito-
torial headed "Boyco the Pope:" ''Of all the
productions of papal interference in the affairs
of Ireland that have marked the policy of the
Vatican from the days of Adrian " to those
of John XXI, and from the reign of that
pontiff to the present time the last circular ad-
dressed by Leo XIII to the Irish bishops and
clergy in regard t, the Parnell fund is the most
intolerably impertinent. II the Irish people
submit cravenly to this latest lash of the whip
being furnished by the pope's worthy ally,
Victoria, by the grace If God,' ETC., queen of
Great Britain and Ireland, and empress Of
India they will forfeit the respect of the world
at large. But what are they going to do about
it?' may be asked. We reply, let them hold
public meetings throughout every diocese in
ireland, pass resolutions sternly denounc-
ing any more of his holiness unholy
intervention in Irish politics, and let him once
for all time firmly and respectfully mind his
church. They might supplement this action by
resolving not to contribute single cent OF
"Peters Pence while Leo XIII occupies the
papal chair, or at least until he quits his palpa
BILE and scandalous political alliance with the
arch enemy of the Irish nation and race. In
word, we advise our country men, it they have
any respect for themselves, or for Ireland,
to boycott the pope and teach him a
lesson that may be serviceable, at least to his
successor. n Il Gut off sme of the none
tary supplies of Leo XIII, and teach him, with
out being misunderstood, that the Irish race
cannot be bulldozed into slavery by the bayo-
nets of England or by the thunders of Rome.
We hope the Irish bishops and clergy
will have backbone enough to resent this Roman
outrage on their patriotism. Ireland will stand
by them against Pope Leo and every other for
eign busy-body, be he Saxon or Italian" o.

Crops In California.

SAN Francisco, May 16.-i'elegaph reports
from thirty three different counties in Califor-
MIA this p. m, show that thirteen give the largest
wheat yield yet produced, four will be above
the average, fifteen average, one below average,
two poor crops. From the good counties the
grain is reported plump, heavy, clean. The
May rains have done much good also in the San
Joaquin valley, where month ago fears were
entertained for the crop. Stockton now reports
crops in the San joaquin valley in fine condi-
ton. Careful estimates place the yield in that
locality over four million bushels, In some
sections of ths Napa valley the rains and high
winds have injured the crops In some of the
northern counties where rains rushed the grain
good deal will have to be cut for hay.
Summarized items show that the unusual
May rains have tended to benefit the waeat in
the middle and southern sections. The north
ern hay crops have been more or less damaged
h.oughout the state. The fruit crop is affected
to a large extent, similar to wheat. In the most
northern counties large proportion of the
fruit, except apples and peaches, is destroyed,
but the southern counties have been ben fitted
by the rain. The grape yield is large. The
Fresno locality gives an enormous quantity.
Over 5000 new acres begun to yield this year.
An afternoon paper says that Haskill, editor OF
the Boston Herald, purchased a vineyard in
Napa county and returns here next year.
