vocatc Is Named for Governor.
In the Kentucky Democratic State
convention, Wednesday afternoon, after
long discussion, the minority report OF

cries for Hardin arose. A committee
was sent for him, and while it was out
the convention called for Cassius NJ.
Clay, Jr., the defeated candidate.
HARDIN A FREE SILVER MAN.
Mr.. Clay declared he had always been
opposed to dragging the currency ques-
ton into this campaign. He had always
been a sound money man and an adj
mlrer of Grover Cleveland and the adj
ministration.
"lf / had been elected by this conven-
ton on q free silver PLATFORM" said Mr.
Clay, II would have refused the nomi.
nation"
This was taken by the friends of
Hardin to be slur on their candidate,
who is free silver man, and who stands
tonight on an incorporating gold
platform, and they began to hiss. Mr..
Clay quickly changed the subject.
The appearance of MIR. Hardin upon
the Platform was the occasion for an
ovation.

feared in the least the threats which had

prove all the charges they have made.
Mr.. Howard was particularly pleased

\ CLERK PARvIS' HOT DENIAL.

THE Rev. Robert Watt, He says, Must
Make n Public Rctraction Within Four
nays, or stand n Suit for Libel.
w, L. Parvis,S enrolling clerk of the
State Senate, had the following COM
munication in the MorAtRg Mems of
Friday:
Permit me space enough in your paper
to reply to an attack made upon me by
the Rev. Robert Watt in his sermon in
Scott M. Il. Church on Sunday night,
June esd, that | had hung up the bill
concerning houses of assignation and
refused to enroll it, thus preventing it
becoming a law.
The statement is absolutely false in
every respect, and goes to show that the
gentleman is as ignorant of the duties of
an enrolling clerk as he is OF the duties
Of minister of the Gospel, as the fol-
lowing facts will convince every intelli-
gent man and woman. The enrolling
clerk of the Senate had nothing to do
whatever in enrolling bills that origi-
mated in the House, as the House had
its own enrolling clerk, whose duty it
was to enroll all bills that were intro
duced in that body, and became law.
never saw the bill and such d bill
never came into my possession, as the
clerk OF the Senate's record will show.
Every bill that came into my possession
for enrolment ! was obliged to receipt
for to the clerk of the Senate, and defy
Mr. Watt OF any one else TO show where
ever receipted for such bill.
| am as innocent of this slanderous
charge as the Rev. Mr. Watt dare be.
Any one who is familiar with legislative
proceedings knows that after bill mas
had its third reading and passed the
House il is ordered to the Senate for
concurrence, and if 1t passes the Senate
il is then ordered to the House from
whence it came. The clerk of the House
delivers it to the House enrolling clerk
for enrolment, so it is perfectly plain to
every one that had nothing to do with
enrolling any bill that originated in the
House of Representatives.
Mr.. Watt has done me great in-
Justice and ask him, as a Christian
gentleman--yea demand of him-to
make full and complete retraction of
the vile and slanderous charges he has
preferred against me.
Such retraction must be given as
much publicity as that in which the
charge was made, and the Rev. Mr..
Watt or any man who says the bill
came into my possession for enrolment,
or that ever laid eyes on such bill is a
liar in his throat. II retraction is not
made in four days time from the date
of this publication in some newspaper
in tho city OF Wilmington, Mr.. Wat
will have to defend himself in the courts
of New Castle county for libel.
M
