BLACKBURN IS INDORSED

Louisville, Ky, May 30.--Free silver carried the state of Kentucky today in the democratic county primaries by good sized majority. The conventions were called to select delegates to the democratic state and district conven- tions. Wherever free silver was in- dorsed resolutions were adopted declar- ing United States Senator Joseph Black burn to be the democratic nominee for reelection as United States senator. Many counties refused to indorse Car lisle for the presidency and turned down resolutions approving the work of the democratic national administration.
 In Louisville a bitter contest was waged. Eight district conventions were held in the city. That of the Sixth and Seventh wards was almost a riot and split. Buchanan had to take the chair by force. The silver men held separate conventions in five city districts and will make a contest at Lexington. Out of sixty-nine counties heard from forty nine, with vote of 363, declare for the 16 to idea, and thirteen counties, with a vote of 196, put themselves on record for the gold standard.

COMMUNICATED.

To the State Herald:
 In a recent issue of your estimable journal you printed card from Mir. l.. E. Friend denouncing the coalition of the republican and populist party and withdrawing his allegiance because of the fact that he had witnessed the pro- ceedings in a convention where he claim ed the white man was dominated by the negro. In concluding his article he takes occasion to do some mud singing at the ignorant foreigner" but if you will read between the lines, MT. Editor you will discover that his thrust is at the democratic party, over and through the foreigner, whom he knows as a rule is a true-blue democrat. The following cleap cut article from the Birmingham Courier of May 30 hits the nail on the head, What is sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander:

 ''L. E. Friend
 is man who announces in the daily papers that he will affiliate with the democratic party because he Is disgusted with the coquetting of the republicans with negroes and ignorant foreigners. The democratic party Is not anxious for such gains and would advise Mr. Friend to transfer his party allegiance to the organization of which he is a eonspieu- ous member, i. e.: the party of intoler- ance, the American Protective 'associa- tion To whom does MT. Friend refer when he says ignorant foreigners? Prob ably the Germans who reside here, who belong to a nation who have ever march-' ed in the van of civilization or the Frenchman, Italian or Spaniard who are everywhere recognized as the leaders of all matters of art or the English and Scandinavian, whose civilization and commercial importance extend back hun dreds of years; or the Irish or Pole, who were highly cultured people in medieval days, and who, because of their political oppression, have the sympathy of all high minded people everywhere. Now, Mr. Friend, let us see who you are. You are a photographer and are doing busi- ness on Twenty y-first street.

 St. Louis, Mo-, May 3O.-One hundred and twenty-eight victims of Wednes- days horror were laid to rest today in the cemeteries of thrs city and East St. Louis. The total of interments would have been larger but for the fact that the facilities of the undertaking estab Iishments were inadequate to the sud den and pressing requirements of the situation.
 Quite a number of these --eSta blish- mentS were in one or another of the nu- merous paths made by the tornado, and carriages, hearses and collins by the score were reduced to kindling, hence the demand upon those of the morturians whose plants were In order were dou bled, and as a result there was more or less confusion and painful annoyances. No pretense was made of observing time schedule, and in many cases the be- reaved relatives and mourners sat from early morn until late in the day await ing the coming of the funeral equipage Hearses did treble and quadruple duty, the hearses being driven at breakneck speed from the cemeteries to the devas- tated districts as rapidly as their loads had been deposited at the door of the vault or by the side of the graves. In several instances a single hearSe bore 3ifee cdSketb, one containing the remains of an adult and the other those of little ones. At the graves the religious ser vices were abbreviated and addresses of euogy or condolence were dispensed with. The interments in this city were divided between Calvary, Bellefontane, Sts. Pe- ter and Paul, Pick and Hebrew ceme7 teries, the two first named receiving the greatest numbers. Between the hours of 5 o'clock this morning and 8:50 this after noon processions continually passed over Grier avenue, the thoroughfare leading to the graveyard of Sts. Peter and Paul Denominational lines were closed up, and there were times when the solemn word Of the committal services of Catholics and Episcopalians Presbyterians and Methodists, Baptists and Congrega ists, German Lutherans. Unitarians and Universalists were being repea ted in diff ferent cemeteries at the same moment. Each funeral had its sconcourse of mourners, and many pathetic and heart rending scenes were enacted as the mor- tai remains of loved ones that compara- lively but a few hours ago gave promise of long and useful lives were lowered 10 rest a"
 Up to o'clock tonight the various relief committees report that $150,000 has been subscribed toward a fund for alleviatng the distress of the tornado victims in St. Louis.
 The condition of affairs in East St. Louis is growing alarming The residents of that territory located near the river and known locally as the "Island' are facing starvation. There is little to eat, and no money with which to procure it. There is only one store in that section that was not totally destroyed by the storm. Rye bread and cheese are the only things on sale. Bread Is 10 and 15 cents loaf.
