We to-day place at our masthead the
name of Capt. Sam f. Hill, of Ohio
county, as the Democratic nominee for
the State Senate from this, the Eighth
Senatorial District. Capt. Hill Is known
to nearly every voter in the district,
and the mere announcement that he Is
the standard.bearer Of the Democracy
is a guarantee of victory. Capt. Hill
served as our Senator for the term
i'm 1877 and ending i'm
1881, during which time he was regards
ed as one of the ablest members of that
body. None left it with a brighter
record than did Sam Hill. His return
will be an omen of good to the legisla-
ton of Kentucky, and Senator Hill
will be dreaded by the lobbyists and
jobbers, who infest Frankfort during
the sittings of the Legislature. During
Mr. Hills term in the Senate in the
winter of 1879 so bill authorizing the
hiring out of convicts to work ON public
works and in coal mines, was intro
duced. Mr.. Hill opposed it, and fought
1t so vigorously on the floor of the
Senate, that its friends were compelled
to strike out the word "mining,n after
which it was passed, though he even
then opposed the bill, and voted against
it. 1t was not until his term rs Sen
ator had expired, that the act author
izing the working of convicts in mines
was made a law. With Capt. Hill in
the Senate the people need have no
fears of jobs or tricks being successfully
worked by the lobbyists.

Central City Argus

The Democrats of the Eighth Sena-
torial District did the proper thing by
nominating Capt. Sam Z. Hill, of
Hartford, for the Senate. Capt. Hill
served in the Senate the term before
Capt. Poole and made a good and &C
ceptable member. He will be particu-
larry acceptable to the miners because
when in the Senate Capt. Hill always
opposed all bills to work convicts i'm
competition with free labor. He will
make vigorous canyass of the district
and will be elected beyond all question.
The time has come in the history OF
Kentucky to elect the right kind OF
men to office. Candidates as well as
parties should come before the people,
announce their views on vital questions
Of legislation and give reason for the
faith that is in them. A man who
cannot tell the people what measures
he favors, and does not know what
legislation ought to be enacted, is lily
prepared to serve his constituency with
any lasting benefit.

The Rockport Convention.

The Eighth Senatorial District Re-
publican Convention was called to
order Saturday evening by Mr.. Il. j.
Tinsley, in place of Chairman Pendle-
ton. Senator Poole was selected as
Permanent Chairman, and George
Gordon, of Ohio county, T. J. Tinsley,
Of Muhlenberg, and w. =. Taylor, of
Butler, were chosen Secretaries. Capt.
10. Fox, of Muhlenberg, George Wed.
ding, of Ohio, and Sam Tanner, of But
Ter, were appointed as Committee on
Organization; and J. II. Reeves and N.
Il. Howard, of Butler, J. G. Gibbs and
I. NJ. Wilcox, of Muhlenberg, and
r.. p. Rowe and ]. M. Barnett, OF Ohio,
formed the Committee ON Resolutions.
According to the report of the COm>
mittee on Organization, taking as a
basis of representation the vote cast for
Jas. G. Blaine, Ohio was entitled to IA
votes in convention, Muhlenberg II,
and Butler 9.
The Committee on Resolutions pro-
duced the following resolutions, which
were adopted, to-wit:
Resolved, That while we deeply de-
plore the national defeat of the Re-
publican party, We are proud that the
Government was turned over to the
Democratic party In the most prosper
Gus condition in its history that not
withstanding We found 1t half-slave
and half free, with bankrupt treasury
and without credit at home or abroad,
full of strife and disunion, We surren-
dered it all free, with an overlooking
treasury, with credit the peer of any
nation OH earth, with peace prevailing
and disloyalty disgrace.
Resolved, That we lament the de-
plorable condition of our finances and
charge upon the State Democratic
officials imbecility or corruption, that
while they have increased taxes, they
have lessened the ability of the State
to pay her Indebtedness, suffered public
improvements to decay or have given
them away to private corporations to
Cypress the people.
Resolved, We declare ourselves In
favor of making the navigation of
Green river free to competition from its
sources to its mouth, the rereal of the
law allowing RATS, barges, etc., to be
taxed when passing over the dams, the
enactment of law requiring steamers
on Green river while passing RATS to go
under slow bell, or be responsible for
the damage done.
Resolved, That we condemn the at
tempt to thrust into our mines and
fields convict labor to compete with
the free labor of our State, as an insult
to decency and refinement.
Resolved, That we favor an improves
ment in our school system, and pledge
ourselves to a faithful and persistent
effort to reform our State government
