An Unprecedented Compliment.

After Attorney General Hendrick
had turned over the duties of his Office
90 w. S. Taylor, Chief Justice Prior
with much feeling said: General
Neudrick, speaking for myself aud the
Wire court, desire to thank you for
uniform courtesy which has
= fed your official connection with
sAsconrt, aud to extend to you our
,rf best wishes tor your future welfare
and happiness; and further than that
we desire to testify 10 the able and
conscientious manner in which you
have discharged he duties OF your
Office in a critical period, aud to say
shat you have turned into the State
Z Treasury more money as a result OF
your labors, than any Attorney Gen
eral in the last quarter OF century.
While our official connection must
cease it is CRAFTY ing to us to know
that you and your most interesting
Family win remain among US"
Truly, this was the highest compl-
meut that could have been paid by
the highest court official in our com
fnouweslth, and General Hendricks
many friends are made happy on &C.
count of the valuable service he has
rendered the Stsrr.

might not be raised at this time
but might be deferred until the
next Democratic National Conven-
ton; this being the only way, in
our opinion, that any approach tt
harmony could be made We also
thought it would be wise to let the
Republicans act first.
We are opposed to any free sill
yer candidate on the ground that
this theory has been condemned by
the policy of the Democratic adj
ministration and by the declaration
of the two conventions referred to-
but we oppose Senator Blackburn
upon the following specific
grounds:
First-He refused to vote for the
repeal of the Sherman law and has
since persistently opposed the f.
nancial policy Of the administra-
ton.
Second-He was a member ofthe
Kentucky convention of June,
1895, and afterwarG in his canvass
refused to be governed by it's plat
form.
Third--It is stated on authority
we cannot question that in several
cases he opposed Democratic can
didates for the Legislature in the
last election and spoke in behalf of
their Populist opponents. His in
fuence was VIGOROUSLY opposed to
sound money candidates in that
election. We do not doubt Sena-
tor Blackburn's sincerity or ques-
ton his right to his opinions, but
we deny that candidate with
such opinions and such a record
has a right to demand a nomina-
ion at the hands of Democratic
caucus. We are aware that many
Democrats in Kentucky do not
lgree with this view. This simply
means that there is an irreconcila-
lie difference between Democrats
m the money question or else that
We have two Democratic parties in
kentucky. Speaking lor ourselves
We feel bound upon this question
y the policy of the administration
nd by the platform of our party,
nd we deny the right of any mem
er of the party by construction to
ubvert the meaning of the party
latform.
The Democratic party is ma
ional party. 1t belongs to no sec
ion. 1t has always been a sound ,
honey party. 1t is alike the ex-
onent of personal liberty and the {
efender of the honor of these
United States. AS humble men,
ers of this party and representa-
ives of the people we decline to
ldOrse a theory as much against
nc traditions and declared policy
our party as it is against the
onor of our country and the well
ire of its citizens. 9
We further say that differing C
ON many members who, while t
to be for sound money 8
would yet vote for P
ee silver candidate, had we gone
to a caucus we would have voted q

LAND GRANT SUITS.
A Bill Prepared in Accordance With
Presidents Message.


Washington City, Feb. 4.-The house
committee on public lands today recon-
sidered its action OF last week in adopting
a bill to carry out the recommendations
of President Cleveland's 5 message that the
Limitation OF five years for bringing suits
TO annul titles TO patents established by
the act of March. 1891. be repealed. An
other bill. emhodying the views of differ
ent members Of the committee and intend
ed 10 furnish full protection 10 purchasers
in good faith. drawn by Mr.. Allen, of
Utah. was substituted for the first bill.
Chairman Lacey viii report IL 10 the
house. As this legislation may affect the
title 10 ea.oeo.ono of acres il has been diff
cult for the committee TO draw a satisfac-
tory bill.
The new bill provides that suits brought
by the United States 10 annnl patents TO
lands enormously issued under a special
grant shan only be brought Within 4Tc
years from the passage of the act, and
suits to annul patents hereafter issued
must be brought within ten years after
their date. The bill expressly confirms the
titles OF bona fide purchasers, and pro-
vides that if any party claiming 10 be a
bona fide purchaser presents his claim 10
the secretary of the interior before the in
stitution Of suit 70 cancel a patent and
his claim is found TO be valid. the secre-
tary shall request that suit be brought
against the original patentee for sum
not less than the minimum government
prices for the lands and not more than the
amount paid by the purchasers. Another
section makes the courts having jurisdic-
tion over suits under the act the final au-
thority on the bona fide OF purchasers, and
provides that claimants who have not sub
mitted their claims 10 the secretary OF the
interior may intervene in suits begun and
have their claims adjudicated by becoming
parties in that way 10 the litigation. The
bill also provides that no suit shall be
brought 10 annul patents when parties
have presented claims 10 be bona fde pur-
chasers until the secretary has passed
upon their claims.
