BIRTHS.

CRUTCHER.-At 5 o'clock Monday

boy engaged board at he home of Mr..
and Mrs. James S. Crutcher, this city.
The little fellow has been named
William Letcher Crutcher, Jr. for his
paternsl grandfather, one of the
noblest men that walks the soil of
Kentucky. May this his first grand
child, inherit the many sterling quail
ties of the happy grandpa: may it also
reflect in his life the best qualities OF
his popular father, and may he also
be worthy of his mother, who, as the
beautiful Margaret Chenault. was one
of that bevy of beauties that sustained
Kentucny's worldwide reputation
during the past decade.-W.

pose it? No one seems to deny Mr..
Hills right to do what he did-why
condemn Mr.. Bryan for doing what he
did? Mr.. Hill may have thought it
was best for the party and the country
to have this gold standard plank in
Mr.. Bryan certainly did not think so,
and 50 of the committee against 10
agreed with him. Did not MIR. Bryan
say in that committee, and in that con-
ventiOn that, some things which he
had wanted in that platform he had
lost. And that he was willing to give
and to take, and that he would most
certainly support the platform what
more could be asked or expected of
him
After the untimely telegram from
Judge Parker was received, Mr.. Bryan
acted the part of a manly man, and
kept the faith to the end. HIS whole
course in that convention was open,
frank. courageous and bold, and all tair
minded men, no matter what their
views may be on the propositions he
advocated, must say, that his conduct
throughout was worthy of all praise.
Mr.. Bryan having acted in this way
and declaring at the very last, that he
would support the platform even if the
gold plank was in it, and it therefore
seems, that the course pursued by our
leading newspaper of this State is very
unjust to him and his friends. The at
tempt to belittle him, and to destroy
him in the face of what he did at st.
Louis should not be countenanced by
the Democrats OF the State, and il this
continued ahuse of Mr. BrVan and
those who supported him is kept up,
there will be no political harmony in
Kentucky. w. B. SMITH.
