Who Will be Nominated.

The National Democratic Conven-
ton assemblies in Chicago to-day.
The three leading candidates before
the Convention will be Cleveland,
Baya"d and Mcdonald. IfNew York
presents solid and earnest Cleveland
delegation, Ohio will also vote as a
unit for the New York candidate and
it will be hard to keep him from get
ting the nomination. If there is not
united delegation for Cleveland
from his own state the probabilities
are that the East will unite upon Sen
ator Bayard as the best man to win
in the doubtful states. If the East
cannot control the nomination and il
should come to the West, Mcdonald
will probably get it. 1t may be safely
predicted that either Cleveland, Bay
or Mcdonald will be nominated for
President. If either of the two first
named is chosen, then Mcdonald
lloadly or Palmer will be given the
second place. Should a Western man
be nominated for President, Gen. Slo-
cum will in all probability be nomi-
mated for Vice-P President.
Bayard and Mcdonald, Cleveland
and Hoadlcy, Bayard and Palmer.
Cleveland and Mcdonald and Nc
Donald and Slocum are all possible
combinations and any one of them
would make a winning ticket. The
ticket named first is our first choice
aud that named last our second choice
though we are in position to give
our enthusiastic support to any
ticket that may he nominated. In
spite Of our personal preferences,
however, we are inclined to the opin-
ion that Cleveland and Mcdonald
is the ticket most likely to be chosen !

BAYARD TALK.

The Frankfort Woman, the only
Kentucky paper that has espoused
the cause of Flower, now thinks that
Bayard is the coming man. A good
many people do.-Owensboro Mes
scngcr.
The Courier-Journal continues to
boom Mcdonald. who is undoubtedly
a good man, but he'll have. to take the
tail end this time. Bayard is the
coming man.-Interior journal.
There is nothing spontaneous about
the growth of the Dayard boom.
The sober second thought and better
Judgment Of the country now pre-
walls, and Bayard is getting the bcne-
fit of it.-Owcnsboro Messenger.
"What shall the harvest be?" in
quircs the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette. If the Democrats at Chi
cago put up Bayard for President
the c. &. will gather its harvest of
husks alongin November, amid weep
ing and wailing and crashing of
tceth.-Lou. Times.
The Courier-Journ is making the
fight for Mcdonald almost single
handed so far as support from the
State press is concerned. We really
note among our exchanges only one
other paper, the Henderson Reporter,
that is enthusiastic for "old Saddle
Bags" The best papers in the State
are with the Advocate for Mr.. Bay
ard.-Danville Advocate.

Senator Logan does not dispute
that his pro-slavery record is one OF
the toughest in the country, but says
that he thinks it "pretty hard to per-
Secute a man after Joining the Church
for sins committed before he was con
verted." This would be plausible if
the Republican party were church.
But it is not a church; and when
Senator Logan joined it he by 10
means "renounced the devil and all
his works" On the contrary.-New

DAWSON.
Ed. SOUTH KENTuCKGAN:

Ed. South KENTUCKIAN:
Iris just now the season when
wearied nature physically seeks "a
sweet restOrer' in the healing prop
critics of mineral waters, and from
the crowded busy haunts of men and
women, troop the multitude to the
seashorc if possible, if not to some of
the many watering places that are
scattered promiscuously throughout
the land. One among the number
of these we find Dawson, which,
however, has been too prominently
before the public to need word of
praise or even comment from your
correspondent. The different board
ing houses and hotels are rapidly fill
ing up and it is thought from present
indications that the number of visi-
tors at this time will exceed that of
any former season. The number of
invalids is greater, those who have
come, not to escape the dust and heat
of the cities and towns, or in search
of amusement and recreation, but in
quest of health, who, like those of
old have been brought down on their
couches and are patiently awaiting
the troubling of the waters that they
may be healed.
Ford's Dramatic Troupe are sum-
mcring at Dawson; they give three
entertainments during the week.
They number in their repertoire,
Hidden Hand, Fanchon, Trodden |
Down, Hazel Kirke, Divorced and |
Others familiar to theatcr going pco-
pie.
| suppose il is needless to say that
we are enjoyinga summer tempcra-
turc i'll Dawson as well as elsewhere.
and the most hardened of us are
found mostly in melting mood, and
likely to continue thus for some days
to come. This morning while en-
deavoring to exercise a patient spir-
it and keep as cool as possible under
a thermometer at 81 degrees, | re-
ccivcd my mail and glancing over
Louisville Commercial that a friend
was so good as to send me, | was
struck with a sweet little poem late
contribution from your talented cor
respondent, NJ. V. d., to that paper,
and which is decidedly in order as
well as season at the present time,
"Swcet Bricr Roses Somehow il
carried me away from the heat and
glare of the sun TO cool, dim old
woodland away down in Alabama,
where the breath of the sweet brier
scented the air, and the pale pink ro-
ses in their rustic simplicity and
beauty bloomed, and died amid the
'haunts of fairies" hidden from
worldly eyes" just as she said. The
poem is short and sweet but il
brcathes spirit of unworldlncss, of
freedom from art that is restful and
refreshing and that must ever be ap-
preciated by lover of nature. NJ.
V. d. has a host of friends in this
part Of Kentucky who read her con-
tributions with pleasure and inter-
est.
Your correspondent is indebted to
the hospitality and Kindness of Mr..
land Mrs. VIM. Massic and family for
very pleasant stay in Dawson and
will bear away with her many happy
rccollections of the same.

COMMERCE WITH CUBA.
The Spanish Governments Interpreta
tion OF the New Treaty Unsatisfactory

The Spanish Governments Interpreta-
tiOn Of the New Treaty Unsatisfactory.
NEW YORK, June ia correspondent
at Havana, writing under date of the I4th
inst, says: 1T appears from an official
declaration Of the government that all
articles not products Of the United States,
but which are shipped thence to Cuba,
are required to pay higher duty under
the fourth column Of the tariff, no matter
whether they reach the island under a
spanish or foreign flag. Thus the Span
ish Government interprets the agreement
with the United States so that American
products alone shall be admitted at lower
rate Of duty, no matter under what flag
they arrive. This decision has caused
general dissatisfaction among Americans
because the draft of the commercial
agreement as first published conceded
benefit TO all impOrtatIOns from the United
States, whatever their origin. The agita-
ton in favor of the initiation forthwith Of
reforms required by-Cuba continues. Dis
patches from Havana and MatanZas to
Cuban delegates to the Cortes are daily
sent, energetically urging immediate re-
forms. The latest dispatches from Madrid
say that the government promises free
trade (cabotage) with Spain, a partial
abolition Of the export duties and the ar
rangement Of the Cuban debt, to which is
responded from here that a total suppress
sion of export duties is necessary"
