standing the fact the delegates to the
Democratic State Convention sat up unit
/ 80 o'clock this morning trying to trans
act some of the business of the convention
they met with no success at all. They be-
gan again bright and early this morning
and the convention was in running order
by 9:30 o'clock. The sixth delegation oi
Louisville was the bone of contention
The reports of the minority ard majority
committee on credentials differed in that
the one unseated the regular delegation
and the other recommended that it be
seated.
The fight over this apparently small
matter was as hot as if there had been
millions at stake. 1t plainly showed the
temper of the body and promised bitter
fight when the gubernatorial nomination
should come up for consideration. The
convention adopted the majority report oi
the committee on credentials as amended
by the minority report, 448 to AS. This
was a victory for the Clay men and turned
the tide in the convention. A scene of the
widest enthusiasm ensued. Hats were
tossed in the air and waved on the end oi
canes, and it was several minutes before
order could be restored.
The committee on resolutions through
its chairman, Senator Lindsey, reported
the majority report as follows:
To the Democratic Contention in session al
Louisville: The undersigned, a majority o1
your committee, beg leave to submit as their
report the accompanying resolutions:
First-The Democracy of Kentucky, in con.
vention assembled congratulate the country
upon the repeal of the Mckinley law and upon
ing prosperity under the operations OF reduced
and equalized tariff taxation, and we denounce
as fraught with danger and disaster the threat
of our Repu blican adversaries TO re-establish
protective tariff and to reinagurate policy oi
unequal taxation, which, in connection with
the general misgovernment by the Republican
party, eliminated in the business panic oi
1893.
Second-The Democratic party, which has
always stood for the paration of church and
state for the sake alike of civil and religious
freedom, does not hesitate to condemn all
efforts to create a distinction among citizens
because of differences in faith as repugnant to
an enlightened age and abhorrent to the in.
stincts OF american freemen.
Ihlrd-Ne afflrm without qualification the
principles and policies declared by the National
Democratic platform of 1892, and declare that
our present National Democratic administra-

its honest, courageous and statesmanlike man.
agement of affairs and we express our conf.
dence in the purity and patriotism of Cleveland
and his coadviser, Secretary J. G. Carlisle.
The fourth and fifth resolutions have
only local interest. Another scene of
great enthusiasm followed the reading OF
the majority report. The names of Cleve-
land and Carlisle were received with loud
shouts of appreciation.
John S. Rhea read the following minor.
ity report which declared for single gold
standard and which was an effort to split
the gold men:
The undersigned, members of the committee
on resolutions, dissent from the views ex-
pressed by the majority of the committee in
resolution 3, which is proposed as an indorse-

meaning and is, in our opinion, an attempt to
straddle the most vital question now attract

while the undersigned do not concur in the
views expressed in said resolution nor in the
views expressed in the amendment which they
here submit, they nevertheless believe 1t to b
