views expressed in said resolutions, nor
in the views expressed in the amend
ment which they here submit, they.
nevertheless. believe II is the duty of
the democratic party TO express itself
in clear and unambiguous terms on
this subject. The financial policy Of the
present democratic administration de-
serves unqualified Endorsement at the
hands OF the democratic party In Ken
lucky. or 1t does not deserve such in
dorsement. and, with a view of taking
the opinion of the representatives OF
the democracy Of Kentucky in con-
vention assembled. we submit the fol-
lowing as an amendment to said reso-
lutions:
Resolved, by the democracy of Ken
lucky in convention assembled. That
the present democratic administration
is entitled to the thanks of the whole
country for its statesman-like manage
nent OF public affairs, and we further
declare that both President Cleveland
and Secretary Carlisle are entitled 10
the unqualified Endorsement Of the
gold standard. and thus maintaining the
American people for maintaining the
credit of the government. and their is
suancc of sl60.000.O0O interest-bearing
bonds is hereby expressly indorsed.
"The undersigned. members of the
committee on resolutions. believing
that the democratic party of Kentucky
should plainly declare in favor of true
bimetallism or the gold standard, offer
the following as a separate resolution.
and ask its adoption:
"'Resolved. That we believe in the
coinage of both gold and silver as the
primary money of the country. int
legal tender dollars, receivable in pay
ment for all debts. public and private.

John S. Rhea offered second or sup
Elemental report. which simply reaf-
flrmed the national platform OF 1892,
and urged its adoption as a measure of
expediency. owing to the divergent
views in the party in Kentucky on the
financial question. Congressman Ellis
opened the debate for the minority re-
port.
Ex-Gov. James Il. McCreary, candi-
date for the senate. made a vigorous
appeal for the Kentucky democracy to
cooperate with Cleveland. Carlisle and
| democracy as its principles had been
declared in 1892 When McCreary ar
gued that there was no room for two
democratic parties in Kentucky, the
'sound-money" men cheered loudly.
McCreary opposed the minority report
and its supplement most vigorously,
and held the floor. Notwithstanding
calls for Blackburn and other disturb
ances.
After McCreary had concluded the
Hardin men insisted on a recount OF
the vote by which the minority report
was substituted for the majority re-
port on credentials. The convention
hall for some time resembled a riot.
The secretary discovered errors and
Chairman Berry announced that the
corrections would be made later II the
delegates would allow the considera-
tion of the resolutions to proceed.
John S. Rhea was accorded the floor.
and made such a vigorous speech
against the majority report on resolu-
tions as to stop all disturbance and
command the closest attention. Rhea
denounced President Cleveland and
Secretary Carlisle In as bitter words as
the queens English could furnish.
