BLAcKBURN's CANDIDACY.
He Throws Down the Gauntlet to
Those Who Want His Seat.


Louisville, April Ex-senator Joseph
C. Blackburn has thrown down the gaunt-
let to those who desire to contest his re-
election to the United States Senate and
heartily invites a canvass upon the issues.
The senator's position on the silver ques-
ton has been known, but as he has refused
to express his views through the public
press of the state the impression had gone
forth that he was lodging the issue. In
an interview here to-day, however, he en-
phatically expressed his continued devo-
ton to the cause of free coinage of silver.
Mr.. Blackburn says: Il am in favor OF
opening the minis of this country to the
unlimited coinage of the silver metal on
an exact equality with gold. ] am opposed
to gold monometallism and just as much
opposed to silver monometallism; with
out reservation or evasion. l am a bi-
metallist. l want and mean to continue
to insist upon the use of both gold anc
silver on even terms as the redemption
money Of this country. l would be glad
to see this result brought about by the
action of an international conference, but
l am opposed to this government waiting
for any such conference to act. Our e&-
perience with such agencies has not been
such as to give us either confidence or nope
for the attainment of this purpose.
81 am in favor of the restoration of the
silver metal at the ratio of is to l, be-
lieving in the light of an experience that
covers century, that such a rato VIII
establish and maintain permanently the
parity between the two metals. l believe
that we should take this action at the
earliest day possible, independent of the
policies or views of other nations.
Now, if there be one upon the list of
announced candidates of the Senate who
will avow himself an opponent OF silver
coinage and advocate a single gold stand
ard, l will ask and urge every friend of
mine in Kentucky holding those views,
and who in spite of that fact is not sup
porting me- to withdraw his support from
me and give it to the candidate who has
been bold enough to make such a declara-
ton But l apprehend that no one of
these worthy gentlemen will make such
an avowal unless he couples with it an
announcement of his withdrawal from
tho oanxra

Chicago, Ill. April 2O.-A morning paper
says: 1.-THE executive committee of the
Iroquois Club held a secret session last
night over President McConnell's resigna-

Resolved, That action upon the resig-

''Vice President William A Vincent and

Nothing beyond the facts stated was
