port, which was signed by nine of the thirteen members of the committee: To the Democratic Convention in Session at Louisville:
 The undersigned, majority of your committee, beg leave to submit as their report the accompanying resolutions:
 First-The Democracy of Kentucky in convention assembled congratu- late the country upon the repeal of the Mckinley tariff law, and upon the evidences we have on every hand of returning prosperity, under the oper- ations of reduced and capitalized tariff taxation; and we denounce as fraught with danger and disaster the threat of our Republican adversaries to re-establish a protective tariff and to re-inaugurate policy of unequal taXationf which, in connection with general misgovernment by the Re- publican party eliminated i'll the business panic of 1883.
 Second-The Democratic party, which has always stood for the sep aratiOn of Church and State, for the sake alike of civil and religious free dom, does not hesitate to condemn
 
 among citizens because of differences in faith, as repugnant to an enlight- ened age and abhorrent to the in- stincts of American freemen.
 Third We reaf1irm without quali- fication the principles and policies declared by the National Democratic our present National Democratic ad- ,i,1s fTN lyc, of the party for it's honest, courage ous and statesmanlike management of public affairs; and we express our undiminished confidence in the De- mocracy and patriotism of President Grover Cleveland and his distin- guished coadviser and Secretary, J. G. Carlisle, of Kentucky.
 The name of President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle were received with prolonged and most demon strative shouting.
 Ex-Congressman W. T. Ellis pre- sented the minority report which was sarcastic indorsement of Cleveland and Carlisle and ended up by declaration for the free and un- limited coinage of silver.
 MT. Rhea made a most vigorous argument, and offered a second or supplemental minority report, which simply reaffirmed the National plat form of the party in 1892, and urged it's adoption as a measure of expedi- ency, owing to the divergent views in the party in Kentucky on the financial question.
 Congressman Ellis opened the de- bate for the minority report

PINE BLUFF, June 27th...1s95.

PINE BLUFF, June Nth,.1S95. To Editor of tho Graphic.
 Apropos the editorial In yesterdays GRAPHIC concerning the bad water, would add that the mud in the water settles in the pipes and the pressure is not sufficient to force 1t out. Less than a month since 1 paid 0 plumber to unstop my pipes, and now the water has again ceased to flow through them.
 l would suggest that if this state of affairs is to be prolonged indefi- nitely, that every patron of the water company refuse to pay for water in advance.
 l, for one, will surely do so. I will carry water in a bucket from my well for sewer purposes before I will be imposed upon any longer; and I believe that if every patron would serve notice on the company that they would do the same, that 1t would bring them to time quicker than dallying in court.

ANOTHER BURGLARY.
PatroIman Jefferson Discovers the Burg. lar, Gives Chase and Captures Some or the Stolen
 Goods.

The grocery store of Mir. w. c. Loellhart, on Pine street, was burg .larized last night about II o'clock.
 The burglar effected an enterance into the building by crawling over the iron gate to the window in rear of the store; the gate liked about a foot and q half of reaching to the top of the window, which was pulled down.
 The burglar then went to the front door, unlocked 1t by means of D spring lock and was then prepared to select such goods as he wished. He laid in supply of flour, salmon, rolled oats, etc. sufficient to do him for some time. | is believed that he was making his second trip to his home when r Patrolman Jefferson dis covered him on Fourth avenue, and seeing that lie was acting in sus- picious manner and carrying a sack filled with something, ordered him to halt Ihe thief dropped his sack and  took to his heels. The Patrolman gave chase but could not capture him. He then returned and recovered the sack and found that it contained twenty-four packages of Arbuckle coffee and six cans of salmon. Believ- ing that the goods had been stolen he began to search for the store from which the articles had been purloined. Coming down Pine street, he dis covered that the front door of w. G. Loekhart's grocery was open. The proprietor was telephoned for and on his arrival it was ascertajned that at least twenty-five packages of coffee were missing, besides those recovered, as well as a quantity of flower. canned goods, tobacco, etc.
 The officer believes that he reog- nizel the burglar and he will doubt less be arrested today, if be is still in the city and can be found.

Ex-Gov. James B. MeCreary, who is a candidate for Senator, made a vigorous argument for the Kentucky Democracy cooperating with Gleve- land, Carlisle and the National Democracy as it's principles had been declared in 1892 Senator Black burn sat immediately back of the speaker. When Mir. Mcgreary argued that there was no room for two Demo- cratic parties in Kentucky the sound money men eheered loudly. Mr. Me Creary opposed the minority report and it's supplement most vigorously, and held the floor, notwithstanding the calls for Blackburn and other dis turbances.
 Rhea Stills the Ruction
 After McCreary concluded the Har- din men insisted on a recount of the vote by which the minority report on credentials and the convention hall for some time resembled riot.
 The secretaries discovered errors, and Chairman A. $. Berry announced that the correction would be made later if the delegates would allow the consideration of the resolutions to proceed
 Mir. Rhea was accorded the floor and made such q vigorous speech against the majority report on reso- lutions as to stop all disturbance and command the closest attention. Mir. Rhea denounced President Cleve- land and Carlisle in as bitter and eloquent words as the Queens Eng fish could furnish.
 Blackburn Makes His Bluff.
 Senator Blackburn had been called for all day and finally came to the front. He said at the outside that he was opposed to ". o. Bradley, the Republican candidate for Governor of Kentucky, and for that reason he was opposed to the majority report on resolutions. He replied especially to the argument of Congressman Me Creary with most i'll tense earDestness. He pleaded for harmony, but he warned the convention against in- dorsing Sherman instead of Jefferson. He had never indorsed a Republican platform and he did not want the Kentucky Democracy to doso today. He was for Democratic bimetallism and not for the Republican gold standard. He was not here for any new departure, but for old time, honered Democratic principles and to oppose the new-fangled policies of the Republican element that was trying to shape the policies today for the Democracy of Kentuck. The ap- plause given Blackburn was tremen- dous.
 The Lion in the Path.
 Senator Lindsay was then intro duced and made remark able strong reply to Senator Blackburn. His de- fense of the administration especially when he named President Cleveland, was greeted with stirring demon strations.
 The convention reached climaxes of the highest pitch when the Senator denounced the insinuation that the majority report was a Republican platform. His voice seemed liked the roaring of lion as he warmed up in replying to the insinuations that the majority of those on the committee
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1895-06-27

or in this convention were advocat- ing Republican doctrines of any kind.
 Chairman Berry announced that a revision on the count by the secre- taries sustained the previous an nouneement of the substitution of the minority report on credentials for the majority report. The Clay men eheered this announcement and the Hardin men precipitated another row.
 Cleveland ana Carlisle Indorsed.
 The previous question was ordered on a yive voice vote after 1 o'clock on the adoption of the reports on resolutions. In this proceeding Chairman Berry was equal to the emergency in his rulings or the vote. and the result would never had been reached.
 Ex-Gongressman Ellis moved to amend section of the majority re- port after the words platform of 1892. This amendment struck out that part indorsing the Admintstra- tion, Cleveland and Carlisle
 Mr Rhea offered as substitute his resolution of thanks to Cleveland and Carlisle for their negotiations with Rothschilds and Morgan. This was ruled out and the first vote. taken was on the aniendment of Mir. Ellis, which reafIirmed the Chicago Platform of 1892 and cut out the in dorsement of Cleveland and Carlisle At l:30 the secretaries began calling the roll on what was termed the vote on Cleveland and Carlisle.
 The Ellis amendment was defeated by large majority This was con- sidered as favorable for Clay, as well as victory for Cleveland and Car lisle
 The vote on the Ellis amendment was announced-yeas, 270s6-35; nays, 59S 29-35. There was loud cheers for Cleveland and Carlisle.
 It was moved that the majority re- port be adopted by yiye voce vote. Messrs. Rhea, Ellis and others claimed that they were enti- tied to another separate vote on the original minority report, which was a sarcastic indorsement of Cleveland and Carlisle for maintaining a single gold standard. The Ellis amend ment was known as the esupplemental report. The roll had been called on it and the silver men insisted on the roll being called again on substitut- ing the original minority report for majority report.
 There Was an overwhelming viye voce against the minority report but a call of the 119 counties was de- manded and ordered at 2:30. The final vote on substituting the minority report for the majority re port on resolusions had only twenty one ayes. When the minority report as well as the supplemental was lost, the question recurred on the adop- tion of the majority report. Although the previous votes showed the majority report would be over wheelmlngly adopted, still the silver men demanded a call of counties, which proceeded till after 3p. m.
 The vote on the adopting of the majority report was announced as 647 39-7O ayes, 233 39-70 nays. It was received with great applause.

Stand Up For Missouri, Governor!

We regret that we cannot agree with
Governor Stone in his desire to stimu-
late immigration to this State. nor do
we think that it is good idea to ex-
pend our revenues for this purpose.
The broad acres of Missouri will be
utilized by our own sons and daughters,
and those who voluntarily seek to
make their homes with US, rapidly
enough. We do not want our popula-
ton to approximate to the density OF
that of Europe or the Orient, if it can
be avoided.
The tenement house district of the
city does not produce the finest specl-
men of manhood, neither do you get
your ideal social state from those coun-
tries that show the greatest number of
Inhabitants to the square mile. The
proposition of the Governor will have
the entire approval of the Coal Baron
and the manufacturer, for these men de-
light to see people so crowded together
that they almost trample the life out
of each other in their efforts to get
work by which to live; for in a crowded
labor market competition becomes so
keen that the wages of labor can be
reduced to point at which the work
ingman can barely live; and, because
there are two or three men for every
job. combination among them is rem
dered almost futile. The land specu-
lator will also be found to be in SYM
patty with the suggestions of Govern
or Stone. The sight of the land filling
up is cheering to him. He realizes
that the day is not far distant when
his iPs ss;q like the seed sown in

THE Republic is continually whining
that if we go back to the 16 to l ratio
it will bring about '.silver monome-
talism." This is not true, and its edi-
tor is perhaps as well aware that it is
not true as any one; but, admitting it
to be the fact, that adopting the 16 to
I ratio will bring upon us silver mono
metalism, what evil results would fol-
low? Debts would be scaled down the
same as, when the gold standard was
adopted, they were scaled up. Why is
not this right. especially as It would
take the hand of the money-changer
from the throat of the nation? 1t is
all right when debts are to be scaled
up. but all wrong when they are to be
scaled down!

PEOPLE should keep this fact in

1t is used as substitute for money.
