GOOD HUMoR PREVAILS.
There VIII Be No Fight I'm the Ken
tucky Convention.

LEXINGTON, KY, June There is large
attendance here for the Democratic state con-
vention tomorrow. The gold standard men
counsel conservative action in the interest
of the party, and the silver men are dis
posed to be liberal. Good feeling prevails.
The silver men are In such control that there
are not the usual contests Cor control of the
convention or the state committee. Sen
ator Blackburn has been receiving ovations
all day. The silver and gold men both held
caucuses. At the silver caucus Congressman
Goodnight was selected for temporary chair
man, and tonight the action was confirmed
by the state central committee.
Outside Of the financial plank, which is a
most emphatic declaration for the free and
unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the
ratio Of 16 to without regard to the action
Of any foreign nation, the platform on ma
tional issues. as agreed upon tonight by the
silver conference for presentation to the
committee and convention tomorrow, 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 support the regu-
lar nominee Of the Democratic caucus for
United States senator. Another resolution in
structs Kentucky delegates at large to sup
port Blackburn for president in the event Of
his name being presented to the Chicago
convention, and commends him to the DEM
ocracy Of the country for the next national
standard bearer. Carlisle's name is not men,
toned in the resolutions, that are sure Of
adoption tomorrow. and no reference is made
to him except indirectly. Every possible ef
fort has been made to agree upon state mat
ters as well as upon resolutions, so as to
have an exceptional harmonious convention,
but there are more than four free silver mem
wanting to become delegates at large. Sen
ator Blackburn and Gen. Hardin will be cho-
sen without opposition, but balloting is ex-
pected for the other two delegates at large,
and for alternates at large. Among those
mentioned for delegates at large are most of
the silver Democratic congressman, w. T.
Ellis, John S. Rhea, Evan Settles Ollie James
and Judge Robinson.
