The National Democratic State Convention
at Louisville.
From the Courier Journdl.)

The Democratic State Convention
Wednesday fully justified the great ex-
pectatiOns that were entertained in adj
vance Its work In the nomination of
the Hon. James r. Hlndman, of Adalr
county, will give great satisfaction.
Capt. Hindman was gallant soldier of
the Federal army, has occupied an hon
orable position at the bar, has served his
State as Lieutenant Governor and acquit-
ted himself with distinction. He Is
pleasing and logical speaker, aud will be
heard to the advantage OF the cause on
the stump during the campaign.
The oratory of the occasion was of a
high order The speech OF Mr.. Carlisle
will rank among his best efforts. The
speech of Mr. Sims, the temporary chair
man, was marked by superior ability,
and was extremely well received. Col.
Breckinridge's address fully sustained
his high reputation as an orator, which
is the highest praise that could be given
it. Senator Lindsay spoke with great
earnestneSs and force, and was heard
with special interest, not only on ac-
count of his great ability and high
standing, but also because he was fresh
from the debate upon the Tariff Bill.
IL. n.
volved the duty OF calling the conven-
ton to order, was extremely happy in
the few remarks which he made Ia call
ing the convention to order.
Altogether it was great convention
great III It's personnel, great In its pur-
pose, great In It's utterances, great In It's
work, and we doubt not. it is destined
to be great in its influence.
Though the actual attendance of dele.
gates was 1 200, only ST. could vote in
the convention according to the basis of
representation established ly the
State Central Committee. The
Committee on Credentials re-
ported that 113 out of 119 counties in the
state were represented, and this was
verified in part when the roll of counties
was called on the ballot for Clerk OF the
Court of Appeals. Tuough some of the
delegates, seeing that Mr. Hindman was
sure to be nominated. had left the hall,
only few counties had failed to re-
spond when Logan county was reached
and further voting Was cut off by the
withdrawal of Mr.. Orndorff and the
nomination of Mr.. Hindman by accla-
nation.
Numerous though they were. the del
egates only constituted half the people
in the hall, for fully 1900 spectators
crowded the main floor, balcony and
platform. Twice the number Of dele
gates and easily ten times the number of
spectators is the way this Democratic
convention compared with that held at
Frankfort by the silver party Oh the
second day of last month.
The delegates from the Fourteenth ju-
dicial district, composed of Franklin,
Bourbon, Scott and Woodford counties.

District convention, and after stirring

The major stood digging his hcelintO the

a long minute and then was broken by the

1t may have hurt scrre III it's criti-

cutting the finger Of the enc who was

prs are used to that and surely the one
