Proceedings of the Democratic Con-
gressiOnal COnyentiOn-Wisdo of
Its DeiiberaiiOns-The Nominee for
Congress.

The democratic congressional conven-
ton held at Monmouth Yesterday will be
recorded in The political history of the
district as one of the most interesting
gatherings of the kinl ever held While
there were no turbulent and noisy scenes
or undue demonstrations, there was an
undo rcurrent of earnestness and feeling
that heloktned uuusu4l interest in the
result. From the start it was very app
parent that there was no unanimity of
feeling among the delegates--that about
half of them were favorable to certain
candidate and that the remainder were
not, but were in doubt as to whom they
should throw their strength Among the
latter was the Rock Island delegation,
who voted as unit against Niece on
each ballot. as did also the delegates
from Warren. Anti Niece feeling ran
high throughout the day, but it wasn't
thoroughly organized until the conven>
lion got well under way, and ii was only
BY OLIVER TACTICS
that the gentleman OF former successes
was defeated. Mr. Neece's support was

cock and McDanough. the former
because they really wanted him
and the latter because they were
under instructions from the county
conyen ton. He also got one vote in
Mercer and one in Henderson. The other
counties of the district went solidly
against him. Rock Island led the oppoS
sitlon to Niece, coming first on the roll
call with seyen votes, and they were cast
as unit, first for Mr. Gable and then for
Mr.. Prentiss On the final vote when
she SWING to Prentiss, there was great
and applause. Warren and
Schuyler also voted soldly for Prenuss.
MIR. Cables vote was highly compli-
nentary to that gentleman, inasmuch as
he had repeatedly refused to be a candi-

An Enthusiastic Turn Out-Lots of Red
Fire and Rockets.
II the crowd that turned out yesterday
was large and enthusiastic, the crowd that
turned ont last evening must have teen
sslsrser ard erthusiasticer." As coon as
people lad eaten their suppars they got
ready and crime to the central part Of the
CitJ from all directions, until Market
street between Sixteenth and E eventh
was almost one solid mass of humanity,
and any one in hurry to 90 any plac !
would have been compelled to take an
other street.
Isreslly seemed as if every othsr person
had fist full of red fire or other pJrotech-
mics snd we:e determined to paint tbs
town a glowing red. That they succeeded
is beyond ell question Of doubt.
The night parade, contrary to the ex-
pectations of many, was grand success,
and everything passed off nicely. Chief
Marshal Franzheim, assisted by the Aides
and Assistant MaIshsls who had officiste i
in the daylight parade, began to muster
his forces about O'Clock, and BY 8 they
were ready to move.
On account of Main street bsing too
cro Sded, thu original intention as to the
NOV sment of the lire could not bs carrie
ont. The line formed on Main street, the
! Young Meas Democratic Club, 100 strong,
headed by the Opera House Band, having
right of line. At o'clock Judge Thurman
appeared from the Hotel Windtor and en-
tered his carrisge, whereupon there was
great cheer from the assembled multitude,
and the. Judge lifted his hat in acknowl
edgment
When the order was given to march the
column moved up Twelfth street, dowr
Market to the Capitol rink amidst hi
widest enthusiasm ever witnessed on Mar
ket street, and the display OF pyrIt:chnic'
was superb. This parade compared very
favorably with any one given in the cit.
this campaign, and for enthusiasm it fa
exceeded any. Ma. ket street was actual.
so crowded that it was with difficulty tia
the line made its way through the mass q
pushing, yelling humanity.
r The parade was not intended as gre'
, demonstration, but an escort TO Ju1l
o Thurman, and its 70 was beyond all g,
t pectation. 1t was cork:r.

LAFAYETTE, May 29th.-We had q
very good rain in this neighborhood

rain of any consequence since Aprli
9th, also had another good shower
Yesterday morning. 4 good deal of
tobacco has been set out, prehaps one
third of the crop, but the cut worms
are cutting il down almost as fast as
the farmers set it out. The grass
hoppers are also eating ii in some To-
calities. The corn crop is looking
moderately well for this season,
Wheat is looking finely in some
places, in others it will not be worth
cutting. Some of the farmers have
turned their stock on their wheat.
Mr.. John Brame has sold his
Feather Renovator to Mr.. L. S At
kinson, and has gone into the livery
business at this place. Mr.. Atkinson
has gone to Hopkinsville with his
Father Thresher.
If some one don't want to get a
fight on their hands, they had better
let our friend, Mr.. John Baynham
alone. A few weeks ago there APP
peared in your paper a notice stating
that Mrs. John Baynham Of Lafayette
was in your town, and another no.
tice more recently stating that Mr..
John Baynham, of Lafayette,and Miss
Manning, OF Tobacco Port, Tenn, were
TO be married on certain day. Now,
John says there IS no Mrs. john
Baynham in Lafayette nor anywhere
else that he knows of and that he is
not acquainted with Miss Manning,
and he would like for you to quit
printing such stuff, as it might lessen
The chances of there ever being Mrs.

Hydrophobia in Kentucky.
coylngton Commonwealth.


There can be no doubt that there is
cause for alarm as to hydrophobia In
Kentucky. Boone county not long
ago was scourged with mad dogs and
so were portions of Gallatin. Kenton
county has been in the southern end
scarcely less fortunate. The citizens
of Marion county hardly dare allow
their children to attend school, and
now the Frankfort Roundabout calls
the attention of the citizens of Frank
fort to the desiring to emphasize the
warning. The Rounabout says fur
Their:
There is an epidemic of hydropho7
bia going all over Kentucky just now
aud 1t seems to have reached our city
as some three or four rabid dogs have
been killed already.
The cause of the epidemic, which
has prevailed since the early portion of
the year is not known. But the cause
is of less moment than the effect. The
delay of official action in the matter is
rapidly approaching a point which
will call for united action by private
citizens.
