CONVENTION HALL, Louisville. KY.
June 2G notwithstanding the fact
that the delegates sat up until l:3O THIS
morning trying to transact some or the
business of the convention with prac-
ticaliy no success at all, they were up
and at it again bright and early this
morning. The convention was in run
ming order by 9:30 o'clock. The sixth
delegation Of Louisville was the bone Of
contention. The majority and minority
reports of the committee on credentials
differed in that the one unseated the
regular delegation and the other recon-
mended that it be seated. The fight
over this apparently small matter was
as hot as il there had been millions at
stake. Il plainly showed the temper OF
the body and promised a bitter light
when the guoernatorial nominations
did come I'D for consideration. The
Clav men claim that last nights ad-
iournraent without taking ballot
helpeu them, and it is certain that the
Hardin men held out obstlnately y
against adjournment Every roll-call
on I'd ournment last night showed a
majority OF the Hardin men against 1t.
Each was strict factional vote, and
when the convention was ended last
night it was ended by the chairman
VINO peremptorily adjourned it without
4 roll-call, while the Mphlenburg dele
CATION was still squabbling.
The convention adopted the majority
report of the committee on credentials,
as amended by the minority report, by
the vote of 44S to 425. This was a VIC
tory for the Clay men and turned the
tide of the convention. A scene OF the
widest confusion followed, hats were
tossed in the air and waved on the end
Of canes and it was several minutes be-
fore order could be restored+ The COM
nittee on resolutions. through its chair
man, Senator VIM. Lindsey, reported the
majority report as follows:

the country upon the repeal OF the

dcnces we have on every hand OF re-
turning prosperity under the operations

tions; and we denounce as fraught with
danger and disaster the threat OF our
Republican adversarieS to re-estaoilsh
a protective tariff and to re-inaugurate
4 policy of unequal taxation, which, IN
connection with general misgovernment
by the Republican party, eliminated IN
the business panic Of 1893.
Second: The Democratic party,
which has always stood for the separa-
2R of Ghs5fh aaa ss ass fas S
does not hesitate TO condemn all efforts
TO create a distinction among citizens

trepugnant to an enlightened age ana!

snThe undersigned members OF the

the views expressed by the majority OF
the committee in resolution NO. .:
which is proposed as an endorsement OF
, the present national Democratic ad-
ministration, because the Said resolu-

vital question now attracting tAe aC.eii, ;
tion of the American people. ana
while the undersigned do not concur II
the views expressed in said resolution,
nor in the views expressed in the amend

nevertheless believe that 1t is the duty
of the Democratic party to express IL
