The Democratic Convention.

A very large crowd attended the
Democratic Convention Saturday af-
ternoon. 1t met at 3 o'clock, and
county chairman, George I. Farris,
presided. Nothing outside the usual
convention routine was done until the
instructions were reached. 1t was
the will OF the convention to give the
vote of Garrard to Mort Rothwell, but
the rub came when the question of a
second choice was reached. Mr.. Roth
we'll wanted the delegation to go in
structed for him, with no second
clause tackled on, but some of the Nc
Creary men objected and some little
discussion was had. Mr.. Rothwell
finally withdrew his name altogether
and the delegation went instructed to
vote for McC-eary first, last and all
the time. G. Bright Swinebroad was
secretary of the convention and Col
John w. Miller chairman of com
mittee on resolutions. Luke Sherrow
and Louie Leavell, two former repub-
licans, created much enthusiasm in
the convention by shaking the scales
from their eyes" and coming out full
fiedged democrats. A vote of thanks
was given Senator Farris for the able
manner in which he represented his
district in the last legislature.

Advises to Hold.

Mr.. T. j. Smith, ST., in an interview
with a Richmond Register reporte r
recommended that all farmers be ad-
vised not to sell their wheat for 60 and
G5 cents, as the price is bound to ad-
vance. He says there has been a short
crop in California and other parts of
the West and that, by September, the
market will be at least a5 cents higher
on the bushel. He says that farmers
who haven't the necessary storage
room, instead of selling at the low
price now offered. should haul their
grain to town, where they can get
storage for it at Lee a bushel per
month. He thinks that if this advice
is followed Madison county will be at
least $25, 900 better off financially at
the close OF the year, as this amount
will be kept at home instead of going
into the hands of spectators.

Democratic Convention.

The Sth District De mocratic Conven-
tion met in Danyille on Tuesday, to
nominate a candidate for Congress.
DR.. Ed. WEIGH. of Nicholasville, was
elected temporary chairman, and
Messrs. Ed Booth, of Anderson, and
Jas. l Hamilton. of Lancaster, tempo
rary secretaries. Upon the recon-
mendation of the committee on organ
ization these gentlemen were unani-
mously elected as permanent officers.
The various committees consisted of
one delegate to each committee from
each county. During the wait for the
committees to report, the convention
was e. t.rtained by speeches from
Hon. Il. F. Peake, of Oldham, Captain
Thorn, OF Henry, Hon. w. b. Smith,
of Richmond, and other gentlemen,
who have ''aXes to grind"
The committee on resolutions was
the first to report, reaffirming allegi-
ance to the Chicago platform, &c. The
committee on credentials then report
ed, seating all delegations, the COM
mittee on organization suggested the
permanenCy of the temporary organi-
zation, and recommended that the
Convention be governed by the laws
of the last general assembly, in so far
as they are applicable. They reserved
their report as to the dropping of the
hindmost man until such time as the
Convention should demand it. The
secretary was then directed to call the
roll of counties for candidates. Jes-
samine was the first, and Mr.. j. Will
lard Mitchell offered the name of Hon.
B. A. Crutcher. Pat Sullivan, of Mad
ison, offered the name of James Il. Nc
Creary, and Hon. 7. Wat Hardin the
name of Mr.. John Ii. Thompson. Last
came Shelby, and Judge ]. c. Beck
ham, of Spencer, offered the name of
"Spencer's own gifted and il.ustrlous
son, the Hon. George Gilmore Gibson,
of Slelby." Ballotting was b-gun
and the first resulted as follows: Nc
Creary Ga; Gibson 81; Thompson So;
Cru.cher ii; necessary to a choice IS.
No gentleman having received a ma
jority of the ballots NO one was elect
ed. The Convention then adjourned
until s p. m. At the night session
nothing was done further than the ia
king of three more ballots without re-
suit. The Convention then adjourned
until eight a. m, Wednesday.
On Wednesday morning the ballot
ing was renewed, and all indications
pointed to deadlock. Rockcastle's
vote returned to McCreary. The vote
stood then as on the first ballot, and
continued so until the 41st, when a stir
was noticeable among the Jessamine
delegates. This delegat'ol had been
voting solid for Crutcher. The chair
man arose and cast seven votes for
