sENrIMENr IN KENTUCKY.
1t Is Outlined at q District Denocrati
Convention.

1t Is Outlined at District Democratic
Contention.
'OWENSBORO, KY, May 16.-The
Democratic convention to nominate Rail-
road Commissioner for the First District,
comprising SO of the 119 counties of the
State, to-day unanimously adopted the
following:
We declare to be an elementary principle
OF Democratic faith that both gold and silver
coin shall constitute the primary money of the
country; that both metals shall be received
for mintage without discrimination and at
the legal ratio that existed prior to 1873, and
We demand the unrestricted coinage of both
gold and silver at this legal ratio and that
both metals be declared full legal tender in
payment of all debts public and private.
This being the strong Democratic section
of Kentucky, the action possesses sig
nificance as affecting the probable action
of the State convention next month.
| Senator Blackburn was here taking an
active part, and was earnestly interested
in adopting the resolution. Much interest
is taken in Secretary Carlisle's campaign
here next week against free coinage.

Judge Catdcetps Pointed Remarks on

Judge GaldWetps Pointed Remarks on
the Silrer Question.
| DENVER, Colo, May 16.-Hon. Henry
G. Caldwell, senior United States Circuit
Judge for the Eighth Judicial Circuit, first
made District Judge by President Grant
and promoted to the Circuit Judgeship by
President Harrison, wrote letter under
date of st. Louis, April 80, to an old armv
friend now in Denver, in which, AMONG
other things, he speaks freely and frankly
upon the silver question.
The letter was written without any sup
position that any part of it would be given
to the public, but the friend to whom it
was written, who is an ardent silver m an
himself, assumes the privilege for the sake
of the good cause to make public part of
what the Judge writes about silver Judge
Caldwell's utterances are bold, clear and
unequivocal. The following is from the
letter:
The country is about to enter upon another
struggle for the protection OF the rights and
the promotion of the interests of the laborer
and producer, which is, in my judgment, of
even more moment than the first have been
surprised that the issue has been SO long de-
layed. The fight ought to have been forced.
fed free coinage of gold and silver at the ratio
of 16 to 1, without regard to the action of Eng
land or any other foreign power.
If we are to be subservient to England in our
financial policy why not in other matters? The
financial policy of a nation determines its
strength and prosperity, and the nation which
consents that another and competing nation
may regulate its financial policy will find its
producers impoverished and its industries de-
stroyed, and the nation itself will soon be little
more than mere dependency of the power to
which it surrendered the most vital function
of government. If We are not capable and able
to establish and maintain our own financial
policy we ought to haul down "Old Glory,n
which you fought so CALAMITY to uphold and
turn the Government over to Queen Victoria or
ask Canada to annex us.
The President has thrown down the gauge of
battle. trust the silver men in all parties and
everywhere will take itup am happy in the
belief that platforms meaning anything and
nothing on the silver question will in future
go for nothing with the members of all parties
The people have been deiuded and deceived
until their eyes are open. There has sprung
up among them that hostility to such plat
forms which the empty and perfdious hypoc-
risy of set phrases never fails in the end to
inspire
