II is generally supposed that the
nuggets which are found In the river
gravels OF Klondike and other aurif-
erous regions have been brought down
by the rivers direct from the reefs in
which the gold originally lay. Many
practical miners and scientific men,
however, have long been of opinion
that this cannot be the case, for nc
masses OF gold OF SO large size were
ever found in the reefs themselves.
They believe. on the other hand. that
the nuggets have grown where they
are now found. just as a crystal OF
salt will grow in strong brine; but
with SO insoluble a substance as gold
II was difficult to understand how such
growth could take place. Experiments
carried out in Australia have shown
that decaying vegetable matter will
cause the deposition OF gold from So
Iutions OF gold salts. but these salts
are not known to occur In reefs. The
mystery is now solved. Slayonic
chemist named Zzigmody has Just
shown that gold itself can exist in
a soluble form. BY acting on a slight
Iy alkaline solution OF a gold salt
with formaldehyde and submitting the
product of dialysis he has succeeded
in obtaining gold In a colloidal condi-
tion. in which state 1t is soluble In
water and may be precipitated by the
addition OF common salt.

Last Night.
CONVENTION ADJOURNs UNTIL TODAY.

After many days, the most turbulent
convention that has ever been held in
Kentucky, came 70 a close in the Gov
ernor's race and two great leaders OF
Democracy went down in defeat, Hon.
VIM. Goebel, of Kenton county, re.
ceiving the nomination on the twenty.
sixth ballot.
Though the convention must have
been tiresome to the people of Ken
lucky and especially to the delegates
it was most certainly best for Democ
racy that the convention should have
deliberated so long over so important
a decision, where the best of Ken
tucky's politicians have offered them
selves as candidates for the guberma
torial chair. The result brings Joy tC
the victor and sadness to the vanguish
ed, but the grand old party has taught
its creatures to endure defeat and re
joice in victory. But the greatest vic
tory will be in November when Ken
lucky will bid farewell to Bradleyism
aud place in his stead the Hon. VIM
Goebel, of Kenton county.

How Ihey Stuck 10 Bonn.

Rarely. if eyer, has a State conven-
ton been of such local interest, inten-
sifed as it has been by the candidacy
of Mr.. John B. Chenau.t, of this city,
for Auditor. Aside from instructing
the delegates for Chenault and no one
else, and sending them untrammeled
in his interest, the many friends who
accompanied our candidate attests his
great popularity at home. A list OF
those who went to Louisville in his be-
half is not obtainable, but suffice to say
some who went ten days ago have never
left him for minute, while others
whom circumstances compelled to come
home have returned to or three times.
Whatever the outcome of this memo

the satisfaction OF knowing his county
men were at his back, encouraging
him by counsel and personal endeavor,
and leaving no stone unturned to push
him on to victory.
