THE KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS


win Den"unce Cleveland's Financial Policy
and nlnckburn's Opponents.
LEXINGTON, Kv.Junc 3.-Tolay Demo.
cratic STATE convention Will be harmon
ious and simply ratification of ma.
iority Of the county conventions held last
saturday. The gold standard delegates
held an informal conference ana agreed to
make no further contest on the organiza
tiun of the convention, selection Of dele.
gatcs-at-larre, or anything. Nearly all
delegates are wearing Blackburn badges.
The free silver dele gates, in conference
Yesterday afternoon and evening, were ad-
dressed by Senator Blackburn and other
silver leaders. They prepared the resolu.
tions, which will not denounce President
Cleveland Secretary Carlisle, Senator
Lindsay and others by name, nor the
Louisville Lexington and other "gold
standard papers, but they will dcnounce
the financial policy of the administration
in such severe terms as indirectly TO con.
denim the president and the secretary OF
the treasury.
Outside of the financial plank, which is
a most emphatic declaration for free and
unlimited coinage Of gold and silver at
the ratio of l6 to 1, without regard to the
action Of any foreign nation, the platform
on national issues, as agreed upon by the
silver conference, does not differ from the
one on which Hardin ran for governor
last year.
The platform differs from former ones
in the severest denouncing of so called
Sound money" Democrats who did not,
at the last session of the legislature, sup
port the regular nominee of the Demo
cratic caucus for United States senator.
The resolution specially declares Black
burn still the Democratic nominee of Ken
lucky for senator, Notwithstanding his
failure of election due to the undemocratic
course of certain members of the legisla-
ture. Another resolution instructs Ken
tucky delegates-at-large to support Black
burn for president in the event Of Is
name being presented TO the Chicago con-
vention, and commends him to the De
mocracy Of the country for their next ma
tiOnal standard bearer Carlisle's name
is not mentioned in the resolutions that
are sure Of adoption, and no reference is
made to him except indirectly in the de-
nunciation of the national administru
tion's financial policy.
There are more than four free silver men
wanting to become delegates-at-large
Senator Blackburn and General Hardin
will he chosen without opposition, but
ballotting is expected for the other two

NEVADA, Mo, June 3-John f. BlaiI
and his son, Alva Blair, attacked the for.
mer's son-in-law, Henry Anthony, on the
streets with revolvers and knives. An
thony ran and was followed for eight
blocks by the other two, who kept shoot,
ing at him. Over twenty-five shots were
fired and seven Of them struck the victim.
Anthony, who ran down into the business
part of town, was finally overtaken and
his throat cut in the presence of 200 people
There were no officers at hand, and The
two Blairs threatened any one who inter
fered. At least six bystanders had hair
breadth escapes from flying bullets The
Blairs allege as reason for the murder
that Anthony had assaulted his l3-year
old sister-in-law.

THE Washington Post like the New York
Sun, demands from President Cleveland
public statement declining the nomination
for Il third term. The Post says: 1--WE are
not disposed TO deny that the prevailing
doubt as to Mr.. Cleyelands attitude with
reference to another nomination has had the
effect Of drawing thousands of Democrats
away from the sound money ranks, which
are supposed to favor a third term, and con-
yerting them into followers Of the silver
movement, which is notoriously opposed to
him. We have reason to believe in fact,
that very large proportion Of those who
have cooperated in electing silver delegations
to Chicago have been inspired to that course
by the assumption thata lreecoisage majority
in Convention will mean the defeat of any
prospect of Mr. Cleveand's nomination."

COLONEL JAMES II. Lambert, Insurance
Commissioner Of the state, in his annual
report to the Governor calls particular
attention to the rapidly increasing evil Of
inlantile insurance, which is practiced extern
siyely by the fraternal organizations who are
authorized to do business on the lodge
system, insuriug none but members of their
various lodges. Notwithstanding this, how
ever, Colonel Lambert has discovered that
these organizations do issue certificates of
insurance TO infants of all ages. Moreover,
it appears that some Judges of the Courts of
Common Pleas grant charters to these organ
izatons, especially authorizing them to insure
individuals from the age of one year on
ward to the utmost limit of natural life As
infants obviously cannot make a contract OF
membership for themselves, and as the law
only authorizes the insurance Of members o
lodges, this system Of business is clearly
without any authority to sustain it, anC
Colonel Lambert makes a vigorous protes
against its continuance. He states that thu
Insurance Department has taken steps to ties
the ma tier in the courts, but submits that an
act of the Legislature distinctly forbiddinl
the practice would make any evasion i'm
possible, and would be wholesome restrain

Gently signed without reading it petition
that purported to be for charitable purpose,
and then it was signed by nearly every
reputable citizen in the town. The first in
timation the minister had that a joke had
been perpetrated was when he received a
notice that his application for a license to
keep a saloon had been granted, and would
be issued as soon as payment therefor had
been made At first the minister and his
friends were indignant, but soon appreciated
the joke, and it furnished the preacher with
