Kentucky Democrats Favor Cleveland and
 Carlisle-Hardin for Governor.
 LOUISVILLE, Ky, June 27.-The free silver men in the democratic state con- vention of Kentucky were beaten yes terday by the adoption of the minority report on credentials, selecting 'sound money" delegates and indorsing Presi- dent Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle. Senator Blackburn and other free sil- yer leaders on the floor of the conven. tion fought to the last.
 After discussing for an hour and half the motion to substitute the mi nority report on credentials for the majority report the call of 1l9 coun- ties began. The Clay men favored the substitute and the Hardin men op- posed it. As the vote was considered a test of strength, it was watched with great interest and resulted AS yeas, 42s nays. The result was greeted with loud cheering by the Clay men. The Hardin men rushed to the platform, charged false counting and fraud and created tumultuous scene.
 Senator Lindsay as chairman of the committee on resolutions presented the majority report as follows:
 To the democratic convention Tn session at Louisville: The undersigned, majority Of your committee beg leave to submit as their report the accompanying resolutions:
 First, the democracy of Kentucky, in con- ventLon assembled congratulate the country upon the repeal of the Mckinley tariG law and upon the evidences we have on every hand of returning prosperity under the operations of reduced and capitalized tariff legislation, and we denounce as fraught with danger and dis aster the threat of our republican adversaries to establish protective tariff and to reinau- gurate 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 separation of church and state, for the sake alike of civil and religious freedom, does not hesitate to condemn all ef- forts to create q distinction among citizens be- cause of differences in faith as repugnant to an enlightened age and abhorrent to the instincts of American freemel.
 Third-We reafirm without qualification the principles and policies declared by the demo- cratic platform of 1892, and declare that our present democratic administration is entitled to the thanks Of the party for it's honest, cour- ageous and statesmanlike management Of pub lie affairs: and we express our undlminished confidence in the democracy and patriotism of President Cleveland and his distinguished CO., advisor and Secretary John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky
 Mir. Rhea made vigorous argument against the adoption of the majority report, but they were adopted by a vote of CAT 39-4O ayes to 233 3l-70 nays. The convention then took a recess un- til 7:30 p. m.
 On reassembling in the evening the name of Gen. Cassius NJ. Clay was pre- sented by George c. Lockhart for the nomination for governor J. R. Breck- inridge presenced the name of P. Wat Hardin. Before the counties were all called it was evident that Gen. Hardin was nominated. Before the result of the ballot was announced the Clay men moved that the nomination of Gen. Hardin be made unanimous and it was carried with a great thurrah. The re- suit of the ballot was announced as fol- lows: Hardin, 46s16; Clay, 33o16; Stone, 76; Watterson, 3.
 When the committee escorted Gen. Hardin to the hall there were the widest scenes of shouting. Gen. Hardin accepted the nomination in an eloquent appeal for harmony, without referring to any issues of the contest. He spoke very briefly.
 For lieutenant-governor R. T. Tyler was nominated when the convention, at midnight, adjourned till the morn- ing.
