Kentucky Democrats.

LOUISVILLE. Ky, June %. The nd.
ministration and Secretary Carlisle
were certainly favorites In the demo-
cratic state convention hers Yesterday.
The sllvcrtes were beaten two to one.
They claimed victory in the election
OF Breckner "a temporary chairman
over Stone. but after the former
divided the appointments equally ON
all the committees and announced his
conservative views, no claims were
made on him. Judge Brcckner is II
Sound money" man, but favored Gen.
Hardin for governor Although Gen.
Hardin favors free coinage, he has
been supported throughout by many
who insist ON sound money platform
| for him.
The feature OF the day was the de.
feat in his home district of Senator j.
c. s. Hack hurn for member Of th'
committee ON resolutions by Prof Ar.
thur icagcr. n man OF pronounced
gold standard views, but who has de.
voted his time to college work and not
TO politics. Senator Blackburn aspired
to the chairmanship Of this COMMITTEES
and expected to have n majority o.
its members with him for free coinage
and against Cleveland and Carlisle.
When blackburn was defeated In the
Seventh district it was ascertained
that the Hardin men did not want to
be embarrassed by his appointment us
one of the members ut large, and then
Mr.. w. 4. Ellis, of the Second district,
offered Mr., blackburn his proxy. OBJ
jections were raisci in the convention
on the announcement OF l'lackburn's
name for the committee from the See.
ond district. and no further efforts in
that direction were made.
The names of cx-Congressmah w. j.
Stone and Judge W. \. Breckner were
presented for temporary chairman
when the roll of lio counties was
called. The result was announced as
follows: l,reckner. iisl9; Stone, 4.0I9.
The total vote was $40. but 1t was not
all cast owing 10 contests; necessary
to choice. 40. The election OF Brock
ner as the temporary presiding officer
was made unanimous and committee
appointed to escort him to the chair.
As the combination of Hardin for
governor and the slverites supported
Breckner and the combination of Clay
for governor and the sound money"
men supported Stone. the result OF the
selection OF temporary chairman was
received with cheers us II direct adj
vantage for Hardin and indirectly an
advantage for the silver men, who had
been beaten during the forenoon in the
district meeting.
Senator Lindsay prepared the major
ity report ON resolutions, which en-
braced strong, honest money plank
and Endorsed Cleveland and Carlisle by
name for their financial policy and nd
ministrations. 1t was signed by nine
of the thirteen members OF the COM
