BRECKINRIDGE's CANVASS.
lie Opens His Campaign at Licking
t0n-He Scores the Press-Crowds
to Hear Him.

LEXINGTON, KY, May 5.-Lex-
ington is crowded to-day with par
tisans of Col. w. c. P. Breckin-
ridge, who have gathered from all
over the Ashland district to give the
opening Of his canvas for renomi-
nation a great spectacular send-off
at his own home. The hotels were
filled last night, and trains to-day
have been adding to the crowds.
The meeting was held at the Opera
House, opening at O'Clock. Prep
arations had been made to seat
1000 and there was no empty space.
Many of those who attended are
opposed to the denomination of the
late defendant at Washington but
they came to see and hear.
col. Breckinridge's speech was
mainly devoted to a review of his
career in Congress, beginning with
the first election of Cleveland and he
pointed out that no man in the
Democratic party has taken more
advanced ground on the tariff ques-
ton or done more to unity the party
on economic measures. He replied
to the claims of his opponents that
he is a howery orator, but not a
practical statesman, by reciting with
great particularly his labors on
committees and on the floor of
Congress.
:, The concluding portion of his
speech was devoted to the scandal
and the opposition to his renomina-
ton on moral grounds. He de-
nounced and defied those who are
assailing him, the newspapers, and
said the future will vindicate his
, devoted friends and confound those
who now seek to destroy his useful
ness. This personal address differs
from other published utterances
: since the trial in one important
feature. Responding to the charge
of hypocrisy in taking a leading part
!, in religious and moral movements
while living a double life, he said he
was all this time making atonement
5 for a secret sin, which he dared not
confess, and doing everything in his
) power to keep others from following
in his footsteps.

The st, Louis Republic, in a long
EDITORIAL referring to the President
II the United States, says:
There are in Missouri thousands
not a few thousands-of DEM
ocrats who believe in Cleveland. !
Many of them do not follow POLITICAL
literature closely, and their trust in
Cleveland has less TO do with specific
acts than with what he is-the rep
resentatiye man of business, true to
his conscience, afraid of nothing
but failure to do his best, rugged,
interchangeable and practical.
It is well to speak plainly about
Cleveiand's place in politics as we
have spoken about his silver mis-
takes. There is one class Of voters
in Missouri whose opinion of Cleve-
land would make it folly to go to
the extent of bitter antagonism in
the convention, if all the rest of the
party we're hostile to him.
Almost to a Ma the German
Democrats are his friends. Almost
to a man the quiet, non-otfice-seek-
ing business Democrats are his
friends. It would require more ar
gument than there is time for be-
tween now and November, early
though the convention date is this
year, to convince these two large
and influential classes that q violent
assault on Cleveland was anything
but the politicians resentment o
Cleveland's higher view of states
manship.
Is the Democratic party DESTROYS
of wantonly mourning the enmity o
sc, 900 good Democratic voters?
The Republic Toes not imagine
that the State Convention has an,
intention of walking into a we'll.
Good, wholesome Democratic dis
cussion has demonstrated that Their,
!. is no conflict in the principles 0
Missouri Democrats. Before thi
weeks discussions are over it vii
be demonstrated that we are unite'
in approving the many good acts O
the administration and in doin;
iustice to the value of Cleveland
character as an example in Ameri
can politics.

From the Kansas City Star.
Yesterday all the Jackson county
delegates to the state convention
received this circular letter, signed
"a Delegate" and dated Kansas
City, which is said to be a pointer
as to the choice of Governor Stone:
ssIt is very important that a rep
resentative Democrat be selected as
state committee nan from this dis
triet, and knowing your influence
and fidelity to the interests of the
party, it is certainly your duty as a
delegate to vote for the proper man
for this important place. T. b.
Buekner OF this city is making an
active canvass and claims to have
secured enough pledges to make his
election comparatively easy. Col.
John T. Crisp has been mentioned
fer the place. There are many
reasons why Colonel Crisp should
be selected. He is a representative
Democrat, talented and well known
and is deserving OF recognition at the
hands Of the party. I trust You
will use your best efforts to secure
the place for Colonel Crisp.

LINCOLN COUNTY.
! Very Lively Fight Over the. Con-
gressIOnal Committees Action
Norton Made Two
Speeches.

Troy, Mo May 1.-The Lincoln
County Democratic Convention was
held here to-day. The delegates to
the convention were elected in pri-
maries on Saturday. The nomina-
ton of county officers will not be
decided until tomorrow. The con-
vention was one of the most inter-
esting in the history of the party of
this county. The second choice
vote was condemned and discon-
tinued. The resolutions on national
affairs were tame, simply indorsing
the action of the Missouri Senators
and the majority of the Representa-
tives. The most interesting feature
of the convention was a row over the
proposition to send delegates from
Lincoln county to the Congressional
Convention. A resolution condemn
ing the action of the Congressional
Committee in making the vote for
Clark in 1892 instead of for Cleve-
land, the basis of apportionment
delegates, was passed. This action
practically leaves the nomination of
Congressman in the Bloody Ninth
to Audrain, Rails and Pike coun-
ties, which, Of course, means
Clark. Norton's friends in Lincoln
were angry, and a proposition to
ignore the Congressional Committee
to-day was strongly advocated. Mr..
Norton made two eloquent speeches
in favor Of the motion, but after
much wraDgling it was lost by a vote
SIS to 80, The following were
selected as delegates TO the Congress
sional Convention: Charley Martin,
w. c. Herat, Joe Nelson, Wallace
Dunn, w. A. Dudley, A. P. VIII
liams, w. A. Martin, J. A. Over
street and Joe Holder.
