HARDIN IS NOMINATED. | He Carries the Democratic Con- vention in;Kentucky. Sound Money Men and Silverites En- gagein Hot Debate. Louisville, Ky., June 26.—The} Democratic State convention of Ken- tucky has certainly indorsed the| administration with special tributes to President Cleveland and his dis- tinguished adviser, Carlisle. Nothing was eyer productive of more effective results than that of Secretary Car- lisle and the Memphis convention. The silverites, including Senater Blackburn, attribute their defeat to recent speeches of Carlisle and the circulation given them. The free coinage men do not deny that they expected to control the convention, all its committees, the platform and nominations. They fought gayly toa finish and acknowl- edged their defeat, although they make charges about the way it was done, especially on the part of Audi- tor of State Norman and others at Frankfort. The free silver men were beaten yesterday in the district meeting that selected members of the various committees in the selec- tion of Judge W. M Beckner for temporary chairman and in the or- ganization of the committee on resolutions as well as in the organi- zation of other committees. To day they went down under the adoption of the minority report on credentials selecting *‘sound money” delegates, and indorsing President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle. Senator Lindsay prepared the majority report on resolutions, which embraced a strong, honest money plank and indorsed President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle by administrations. It was signed by nine of the thirteen members of the committee. There were two minority reports—one signed by Rhea and Ellis for the free coinage of silverSat 16 to 1, and the other simply reaf- firming the platform of 1892, signed by Clardy and Coulter. Senator Lindsay opened a hot contest by presenting the majority report of the committee on resolu- tions, as follows: To the Democratic Convention in Session at Louisville. Lhe undersigned, a majority of your committee, beg leave to submit as their report the accompanying resolutions: First—The Democracy of Ken- tucky, in convention assembled, congratulate the country upon the repeal of the McKinley tariff lnw and upon the evidences we have on every hand of returning prosperity under the operation of reduced and equalized tariff legislation, and we denounce as fraught with danger and disaster the threat of our Re- publican adversaries to establish a protective tariff and to inaugurate a policy of unequal taxation, which, in connection with general misgovern- ment by the Republican party, cul- minated in the business panic of 1893. Second—The Democratic party, which has always stood for the separation of church and State, fcr the sake alike of civil and religious freedom, does not hesitate to con- demn all eftorts to create a distinc tion among citizens because of differences in faith as repugnant to an enlightened age and abhorrent to the instincts of American freemen.

Under the circumstances the nomination of Hardin is considered a great personal victory, as the men who framed the platform and shaped the policy of the party had been working hard} to day for Clay or a dark horse.

Doubtless some of them will attrib- ute the raising of the wages to a Democratic trick to hoodwink the country with the belief that our troubles are over and prosperity is returning.
