Not less than $4,000 has been abso-
lutely thrown away by the savage
criticisms of the Louisville press.
Louisville knitted Hardin because of
his free silver views, and its repre-
sentatives in the Legislature fought
Joe Blackburn for the same reason.
When ever the Democrats of this
city deal fairly with their fellow
Democrats throughout the State.
they can expect a return of the pat

Editor Nleachan, member of the
State Executive Committee :
who of course is free silver man
favors the abrogation of the two thirds
rule for the Democratic national con-
vention. That rule was made and
has been preserved through many
stormy years to protect the party
from just such radical and dangerous
waves of tickle sentiment as the free
silver craze. The rule is contempora-
neous with the birth of the Democrat
ic party, having been adopted in its
first National Convention in 1885, and
ratified and reattrmed in every sue
ceeding convention. The rule is old
enough and good enough to stand; it
will not make way for free silver
Harrodsburg Democrat.
We have no recollection of ever
having expressed an opinion on the
subject mentioned. However, we
will take occasion to add that each
National convention makes its own
rules just as it makes its own plat
form. If the principles of the party
as old as the party itself are to be set
aside, why not alter a rule that in no
sense interferes with the will of the
majority.

Chairman Chas. r. Long and State
Central Committeeman, Urey Wood
son, from the Second district, are
engaged in newspaper controversy
over some appointments in Owens
boro. The State Central Committee
adopted rule comforting upon the
district members the power to recon-
mend the county committeeman to
fill vacancies in their respective dis
tricts. Acting under this rule Mr..
Woodson made some recommends
tions in Owensboro, which Chairman
Long ignored and proceeded to APP
point other members on the recon-
mendation of the county chairman.
Mr.. Woodson appealed to his fellow
members of the committee and all
but three sustained his position and
at meeting held last week refused
to ratify Mr.. Longs appointments
and appointed the silver men recon-
mended by Mr.. Woodson. Mr. Long
questions the authority of even
two-thirds majority of the committee
to hold meeting without his calling
it and will publish his appointments
in the Forthcoming Handbook" as
the precinct committeeman. 1t would
seem that the best way out OF it
would be to order elections in the
disputed precincts and let the Demo
Gratis choose their own members.

Louisville owes her loss of the Dem.
cratic State Convention to the action
OF the daily newspapers. The Critic
has not encouraged the growing dis
trust and dislike of this city among
the country people, but it has, from
time to time, warned the merchants
that the abusive course of the daily
papers would effectually turn trade
away from us. The first opportunity
to give expression to that feeling
was during the recent meeting of the
State Executive Committee, when
the free silver members, who held
the balance of power, voted for Lex
ington. If Louisville had secured
the convention, atleast 5000 or A.
600 strangers would have come here
prepared to spend several days,

resulting from the efforts, by petition, of
residents of Frederick county. A pro-
vision was included for the appoint nent
OF seven commissioners, and they were
empowered to purchase sixty acres OF
ground upon which to build city.
The land to be acquired was specified
in the act. II was then owned by George
Gordon and George Beall and situated
On the Potomac RIVER, above the mouth
of Rock Creek, adjacent To the inspection
house, in the county aforesaid
The particulars were given as 10 the

ground as nearly as might be convenient

space or quantity thereof for streets lares,
and alleys and the same TO be 'erected
into town that should be called George
town. IL s not positively known in
whose honor the town was named, but it
is popularity believed to have been christ
ened for George III, the then reigniDg soyer-
eign.
The seven Georgetown commissioners and
THEIR successors, reduced in number to five
in 1884, continued IN authority in the local
affairs until November, 1883, at which
time the town was incorporated, with a
provision for Officers as follows: A mayor
recorder, board Of aldermen and Il COM
mon council.
The first man to fill the chief borough
office was appointed by the act of Novem-
Der, 1888, for one year, the term beginning
January l, 1880. Thereafter the office
Of mayor was, until 1881, filled by the
votes OF the mayO recorder ana the com
mon council. In the year last mentioned
was inaugurated the popular vote plan of
selecting officers, ana the mayor was chosen
thereafter bienniaily by the people.

THE DURRANT CASE
Likely to Be Decided on the Record
Without Argument.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 22.-There is
difference of opinion between General
Dickinson and Attorney-general Fitz-
gerald and the Durrant case is the
cause.
General Dickenson has had so many
stays granted him that he expected
another as matter of course. So he did
not go down to Los Angeles to ask for it.
AS consequence, according to the re-
cord, the case of William Henry Theo-
dore Durrant will 60 to the supreme
justices on the record of the case and
without argument. He said today:
Il have an agreement with the attor-
ney-general and he understands the
matter perfectly. He knew I would not
be represented at Los Angeles. It was
not necessary. Anybody can go to
court and get permission to file brief
before the case is submitted. Our briefs
will be read before the supreme court
and the case will probably be decided
early in the year"
Attorney-general Fitzgerald says he
does not understand that General Dick
inson can drop in with his briefs at
any time, and that unless the order of
the court should be modified the case
stands submitted on the record on file
and on nothing else.

wrested from a native. The other sail
ors were well armed and the bushmen
finally had to retreat to the woods, many
of them wounded. The baron was not
the only one Of the party badly hurt.
At first 1t was thought he would recover;
but he gradually sank after he had
walked back to camp and died in three
hours.
The sight when the party returned to-
the camp was bloody one. Midshipman
de Beaufort had been cut to death and
three sailors and one native guide with
him. Six sailors and one guide had been
wounded. One of the guides fought
bravely, though his hand had been seri-
ously wounded. The rifles finally told
on the natives and they withdrew.
The news was sent to Captain Mauler
Of the Albatross and relief party head
ed by Lieut.. Bublai and consisting of
the doctor and thirty sailors was sent,
and safe return was made to the ship.
After the injured men had been taken
aboard the Albatross Captain Mauler
sailed for Cook Town and thence the
Albatros will go to Sydney.
