The victory can be assigned to no other reason than Mr. Hardin’s personal popu- The convention had early in the dopted a gold standard platform, ) refused all compromise with the ad- es of free coinage, of which Mr. din was one of the foremost in Ken- v. The Clay men, much encouraged ereby and believing that the convention would refuse to place upon its roll of honor a man who stood so diametrically against its principles, was looking for victory, and | the result was a bitter disappointment to | them. One of the most noteworthy features of the convention has been its devotion to the | cause, which it termed, without excep- tion, the cause of sound money. Inamin- ority to begin with the free silver men have scarcely made themselves felt at all. The geid standard champions showed their strength by adopting the majority report of the committee on resolutions by a big majority. Led by ex-Governor MeGreary and Senator William Lindsay, they sue- ceeded in not only inducing the conv tion to adopt a platform which is the despair of the free silver cohortsof the State but in getting a strong policy in which Grover Cleveland and John G. Car- lisle are mentioned by name. Every men- tion of the name of either Cleveland or Carlisle that was made was received with applause that was unmistakably sincere. The friends of Mr. Carlisle consider it a | great victory for him. While he was going through the State preaching the doctrine of the yellow metal itis worthy of note that P. Wat Hardin was also stumping the same territ of free silver and ur es of a 16 to1l ratio. burn, who has received but little favorat the hands of this convention, was the | only other man in the State who was so vrominently identified with silver as Mr. Hardin. However, the friends of free silver claim that the convention was not ndly disposed toward them or it | would not have nominated a free-silver| man for the first position in the gift of the | State party. Clay’s friends, on the other hand, re- | gard Hardin's victory as one of person rather than principle. All the dissension in the party on the currency question is not ended as the division in the commit- tee on resolutions proves. Three reports were made by that body, and a determined fight was made on the floor to-day by ad- | vocdates of the minority reports to have them adopted, and considerable warmtn was shown by the speakers, especially by John 8. Rhea, who attacked Mr, Cleveland as vigorously as Senator William Lindsay afterward defended him. This is the first regularly called State nominating convention in which the cur- rency has been an issue and it has there- fore been watched with no little interest. It has an example for the Southern States, but whether they will follow it or not re- mains to be seen. It is not easy to tell ex- actly what bearing the work of to-day’s convention will have on the Senatorial race. . i While silver has received a severe blow | and with it its staunch friend, Senator | Blackburn, the fact that Hardin was nomi- | nated makes the aspect much brighter for Benator Blackburn’s re-clection. The other candidates all stand for a single sdard. They are Governor Brown and sovernors McCreary and Buckner. The name of Hardin has been a wells known one in Kentucky since its earliest | history, and Parker Watkins Hardin’s | career at the bar and in politics has main- tained the famous prestige. He was born in Adair County June 3, 1841. He was educated in the schools of the county, studied law with his father, and was ad- mitted to the bar in 1865. He at once be- gan the practice of law, and a few years later located in Harrodsburg, which is now his home. In 1881 Mr. Harain was elected Attorney-General of the State on the Democratic ticket. His administration of this office was so popular that he was twice renominated and re-elected with little opposition, sitting twelve years. Four years ago he had a strong following as candidate for the Democratic nomina- | tion for Governor, but was defeated by John Young Brown in-a triangular contest in which the other aspirant was C, M. Clay Jr., his chief opponent in this convention. Physically, Mr. Hardin is a man of fine appearance, but he is noted for marked democratic simplicity in dress and man- ner.

SOUND MONEY MEN RULE. S0 They Indorse the Grover Cleveland | Administration. LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 26.—Notwith- | standing the fact the delegates to the Democratic State Convention sat up until 1:30 o’clock this morning trying to trans- act some of the business of the convention | they met with no success.at all. They be- gan again bright and early this morning | and the convention was in running order | by 9:30 o'clock. The sixth delegation of Louisville was the bone of comcntion.j The reports of the minority ard majority | committee on credentials differed in that the one unseated the regular delegation and the other recommended that it be | seated. | The fight over this apparently small | matter was as hotas if there had been | millions at stake. It plainly showed the | temper of the body and promised a bitter | fight when the gubernatorial nomination | should come up for consideration. The convention adopted the majority report of the committee on credentials as amended | by the minority report, 448 to 425. ‘This | was a victory for the Clay men and turned the tide in the convention. A scene of the wildest enthusiasm ensued. Hats were | tossed in the air and waved on the end of | canes, and it was several minutes before | order could be restored. ! The committee on resolutions through | its chairman, Senator Lindsey, reported | the majority report as follows: | To tre Democratic Convention in session at | ZLouisville: The undersigned, a majority. of | your committee, beg leave to submit as their Teport the accompanying resolutions: First—The Democracy of Kentucky, in con- vention assembled. congratulate the country upon the repeal of the McKinley law and upon the evidence we have on every hand of return- | ing prosperity under the operations of reduced and equalized tariff taxation, and we denounce as fraught with danger and disaster the threat of our Republican adversaries to re-establish protective tariff and to reinagurate a policy of unequal taxation, which, in connection with the general misgovernment by the Republican party, culminated in the business panic of 1893. Second—The Democratic party, which has | always stood for the separation of church and | state for the sake alike of civil and religious freedom, does not hesitate -to condemn all efforts to create’a distinction among citizens | because of differences in faith as repugnant to | an enlightened age and abhorrent to the in- stinets of Asnerican freemen. Thira—We affirm without qualification the | principles and policies declared by the National Democratic platform of 1892, and declare that our present National Democratic administra- tion is entitled to the thanks of the party for its honest, courageous and statesmaniike man- agement of affairs and we express our confi- dence in the purity and patriotism of Cleveland | and his coadviser, Secretary J. G. Carlisle. | The fourth and fifth resolutions have only a local interest. Another scene of great enthusiasm followed the reading of the majority report. The names of Cleve- land ana Carlisle were received with loud shouts of approbation. John S. Rhea read the following minor- ity report, which declared for a single gold standard and which was an effort to split the gold men: ° The undersigned, members of the committee on resolutions, dissent from ‘the views ex- pressed by the majority of the committee in resolution 3, which is proposed as an indorse- ment of the National Democratic administra- tion, because the resolution is uncertain in its meaning and is, in our opinion, an attempt to straddle the most vital question now attract- ing the attention of the American people, and, while the undersigned do not concurin the views expressed in said resolution nor in the views expressed in the amendment which they here submit, they nevertheless believe it tob subject. The financial policy of the present administration deserves an unqualified in- dorsement at {he hands of the Democralig party of Kentucky or it doesnot deserve such indorsement, and, with a view of taking the opinion of the representatives of the Demo- cratic party of Kentucky in convention assem- bled, we submit the following as an amend- | ment to said resolution: Resolved, By the Democrats of Kentucky, in convention assembled, that the present Demo- cratic administration is entitled to the thanks of the whole country. The undersigned mem- bers, believing that the Democratic party of Kentucky should plainly declare in tavor of true bimetallism, or the gold standard, offer the following as n separate resolution: Resolved, That we believe in the coinage of both gold and silver, as the primary money of the country, irto legal tender doilars, recely- able in payment of all its debts, public and privete, upon terms of exact equality. The minority report was signed by three of the committee. Mr. Rhea also offered a resolution that all that part of the majority report after the figures ““1892" be stricken out; so as to | make the platform simply indorse the Democratic platform of 1892. This consti- tuted the .third report of the committee on resolutions. James B. McCreary, who signed the majority report, insisted that it should be adopted by the convention. “The National administration is entitled to the respect of the Democrats of Ken- tucky,” said he. “We can go forth to-day and say we are not ashamed of Grover Cleveland.” Harvy Meyers leaped upon the stage and waving a paper in the face of the chairman claimed that a big mistake had | been made in the minority report of the committee on credentials, which was de- clared to have been adopted. He said the report had been lost and that the victory was really to Hardin men instead of the Clay men. The Clay members augmented the confusion and babel reigned. John S. Rhea was opposed to indorsing Cleveland and Carlisle. He made a vio- lent attack on the administration and de- clared that he came bearing the olive branch, willing to have harmony. All that he asked was that the convention refuse to indorse the President and his Secretary of the Treasury, and that it reaffirm the platform of 1892, He said that when the Democrats elected Cleveland they rushed from a slaughter-house into an open grave. If the convention indorsed Cleveland and Carlisle it should also indorse J. Pierpont Morgan, who, more than any other man, was responsible for the success of the bond issue. “Let's go to Lombard street and laud Rothschild in our resolution.” Mr. Rhea’s speech was constantly inter- rupted by hisses from the admirers of the President. Senator Joseph Blackburn, the leader of the silver forces in Kentucky, said: “I trust it is not necessary for me to say that I am opposed to the election of W. O. Bradley as Governor, and therefore I am opposed to the adoption of this majority report which has been submitted to you. It is a question of whether you are going to stand on & single gold standard orona double standard of gold and silver. None of the distinguished leaders of the Democ- racy have sailed under a banner bearing the device ‘Wall street’ upon it, and we cannot afford to now. Why are you not content to stand on the last declaration of your party, instead of traveling out of your way to thrust a new bone of conten- tion into its ranks? Let there be harmony between platform and candidate. Do not put a double’standard candidate upon a narrow single-standard platform. Our de- feat would be. certain should we do this. There is no need of temper, and there should be no extremes of principle among us. Whatever your platform may be and . | | | | | | ing to make a nomination. Take counsel of your patrotism, your love of country and/ yofr' ‘wve of party.- Do nothing that wiil cause the Democratic party to tremble.” Senator Lindsey again spoke for the ma- jority platform. ‘“We are not alone out- lining a platform for Kentuckey,”’ said he, ‘‘but we are setting an_example which the country will follow. We are here as the | vanguard of the campaign, which is just beginning. We are not here to indorsea plank . in the Republican platform, but neither are we here to in- dorse a plank advocated by a gentle- man who has been 'championing the cause of the unlimited coinage of silver at sixteen to one. We believe in the Democ- racy and statesmanship of Grover Cleve- land and thatis why we indorse him.”” He moved in conclusion the adoption of the majority report and called for the previous question. Chairman Berry said that both the con- testing Louisville delegations would be permitted to retain their seats, This left matters about even between the Clay and Hardin forces. The report of the minority committee on resolutions reaflirming the platform of 1892, but refusing to indorse Cleveland and Carlisle, was defeated—584 to 331. The final vote on the minority report was 690 against its adoption to 270 for it. Senator Lindsey, ex-Governor Buckner and James B. McCreary, who sat on the platform at the time the vote was an- nounced, were warmly congratulated on the result. “It don’t make any difference who wins for Governor now,” said Senator Lindsey. “Honest money has been indorsed, and that’s what we are after.” The next question was on the adoption of the second minority report, which is signed by the free silver men and is some- what sarcastic in tone. Only twenty-four and a half yotes were cast for the second minority resolution. The question. was then on . the majority report. It was adopted by the overwhelming vote of 644 to 233, The convention then adjourned till 8 p. a. ‘When the night session was called to or- der at 8 o’clock by Chairman Berry every delegate was present. Music Hall was packed to the doors. The chairman an- nounced immediately after rapping for or- der that the committee on credentials hav- g reported nominations for Governor were in order. The clerk began to call the counties. The Seventh District, in which Cassius M. Clay Jr. lives, was called, but there was no response. The call of coun- ties was completed without any one aris- Another call was begun, and when the Seventh District was called C. C. Lockart arose to place in nomination Cassius M. Clay Jr. He said: *This is red-letter day in the history of Democracy. This convention this nicht holds in its hands the fate of the Democ- racy of Kentucky. We appeal to an intel- ligent constituency. We dare not offer one thing in a candidate and contradict it in a platform. I propose to this conven- tion the name of Cassius M. Clay Jr. of Bourbon County for Governor of Kentucky. He is as modest as he is courageous. Heis ready to do for the people what the great- est number demand. Nominate this man and there will be no need of exvlanation. There will be no place for apologies. Then the hurrahs of this convention will be an- swered by the thunderous plaudits of vic- tory in November next.” Judge I. M. Quigley of Louisville arose to second the nomination, but began in a way that caused a sensation. He said: “Itseems to me that instead of being Democrats some of you are here to kill the harmony of the party.” Mr. Quigley then flourished a circular that had been distributed over the hall an [ asked if the men who were mentioned in it had authorized. the use of their names. Loud cries of “No!No!" arose. The ci: calar was then read by Mr. Quigley. Itis as follows: To the Democrats of Kentuchy in this Conven- tion—GENTLEMEN: Do not make a misiake, but nominate a standard-bearer who has always been found in the front rank for honesty, free speech, free thought and personal iiberty. Nominate a man not bound to any ring, clique or faction, who is never found wanting whea the cause of Democracy is at stake. Nominate | aman who is not tainted by association with former malodorous administrations; who can and will stand squarely upon any Democratic platform. Assure perfect harmony and an old- time victory by selecting for the head of your ticket either J. D. Black of Knox, W.J. Stone of Lyon or A. 8. Berry of Campbell. The circular is unsigned: “Now then,” said Quigley, “ain’t you ashamed to have such a thing circulated among you. I say to any man who has had a hand in getting np this circular that he is no Democrat. If you want a man who will represent the party nominate Mr. Clay, and you will have a man who can stand wupon the Demo- cratic platform. Now that you have a man whom you know and whom you can put perfect trust, in name him. Ileavethe matter in your hands.” The call of districts proceeded and Robert J. Breckinridge of Danville, a brother of W. C. P. Breckinridge, arose to name for Governor P. Watkins Hardin. A scene of tremendous enthusiasm encued, and it was | some time before order could be satisfac- | torily restored for him to speak. He spoke as follows: “You have to-night written upon your banner the principles of your party—prin- ciples as deathless as time. What next is to be done? Itis to place this banner in the hands of one whowill see that these principles are carried out. Who shall it be? One whose name has become a house- hold word in this beloved State; one who bas given his life to the furtherance of these very principles which you have written upon your banner. Wherever Democracy has flourished there has P. W. Hardin been found, and shall he now be relegated to the rear? Wherever a few Democrats have assembled there has this man proclaimed his principles. How do I know this man is worthy of your support? From personal acquaintance with him and from an intimate knowledge of his public utterances. Knowing that he believes in the principles of the Democratic party, that he will sacrifice all that a man can to principle, I nominate him, my friend and my neighbor, for the governorship of Kentucky. Recognize, now, in this appeal the bugle that you have heard so often calling you to victory. Yes, I am for your platform. We will always support the principle and the flag of the Democratic party.” Robert J. Tarvin seconded the nomina- tion. He spoke as follows: *This convention has announced the platform upon which it is going to battle. It is now my platform. It believes inlocal self-government and a strict adherence to the principles which are best for the party. There is no man who can bury beneath the monument of victory the shame of the de- feats of 1894 more keenly than can P. Wat Hardin. He is the only man in the State who has the courage to go over the State and meet upon the platform that giant of Republicanism, W. O. Bradley. If there is any misfortune that could overtake the Democratic party in Kentucky, it is that ‘W. O. Bradley be selected to rule over its great destinies. He has desecrated every idol the Democrats ever had on any plat- form in Kentucky. I leave with you to nom- inate the Governor, in the wish that your choice will be that leader, the Hon. P. Wat Hardin of Mercer County.” 1gnatius A. Spalding of Union County seconded Cassius M. Clay’s nomination. He said in part: **We want a man for this place who will do us the most credit. Cassius M. Clay is such a man. If you want a man who will be a chevalier absolutely without fear and | without reproach put him on your plat- form. He bas always served his party and lie always will serve it. He is a man who will stand upon the platform which you have given him. Gentlemen, will you put upon this platform in his stead a man who will have to apologize for the principles his party stands pledged to?"’ The nominating and seconding speeches being conciuded the secretary called the roll of counties for a nomination for Gov- ernor. Hundreds of persons in the hall jotted down the vote as it was called out, and when it was scen that Hardin had re- ceived the votes necessary to a choice his advocates gave a very good imitation of pandemonium. The air was full of hits and hurrahs, and the counties which had change their votes for the successful candi- date. The ballot before any changes were made was: Hardin 46614, Clay 335, Henry ‘Watterson 3, ex-Governor Buckner 3, J. Stone 63. The nomination of Hardin was made unanimous before the clerk could read the ballots, and loud cries for Hardin arose. A committee was sent for him, and while it was out the committee calied for Cassius M. Clay Jr., the defeated candidate. Mr. Clay declared he had always been opposed to dragging the currency question into this campaign. He had always been a sound money man, and an admirer of Grover Cleveland and the administration. “If I had been elected to this convention on a free silver platform,” said Mr. Clay, “I would have refused the nomination.” This was taken by the friends of Hardin to be a direct slur on their candidate, who is a free silver man and who stands to- night en an uncompromising gold plat- | form, and they began to hiss. Mr. Clay quickly changed the subject. “The stream can rise no higher than its source,”’ he continued, “and I do not be- lieve it to be possible for the Republican party to give us better government than | the Democratic. They might do it for a week, they might do it for a month, but in | the end they could do nothing but fail. For my part, I shall do all in my power to prevent the supremacy of the Republican party and the possible establishment of the neero rule, and to that end I pledge myself to the support of P. Wat Hardin, our nominee for Governor.” The appearance of Mr. Hardin upon the platform was the occasion for an ovation. Mr. Hardin said: “With an inexpressible sense of grati- tude to the friends who have so loyally, yes, so lovingly stood by me in this race, with no ill-will toward any one, and with a profound admiration for the friends of my opponent who have stood by him so nobly in this race, [ accept the nomination. Differences there akvays will be; differ- ences there always must be; yeta party founded as the Democratic party is founded wilt never die. 1t will never dis- integrate. I ask you to help me now to save old Kentucky. Kentucky is the only State in the Union which has never been anything but Democratic. Once more I say she will remain Démocratic.” The speaker did not mention the cur- rency question nor intimate what his course would be in regard to the platform. Some of the delegates wanted to ad- journ, but the chair ordered a rolleall of counties and candidates for Lieutenant- Governor were placed in nomination. The candidates were: B. P. Tyler of Fuiton County, Oscar Turner of Louisville, and M. D. Brown of Christian. | Tyler was nominated by a viva voce vote | before the ballot was finished, and the con- | vention adjourned until to-morrow morn- | ing. MVSTERY OF A SHODTIG Kunley Fired a Shot at Rouis Before Taking His Own Life. | { { The Suiclde Had Assumed His Partner’s Name in Conduct~ ing Business. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 26.—The mys- tery of the sensational shooting last night of one George F. Rouis, as he was known LOADED WITH CHAINS, Two Strangers Kidnap a Noted Resident of Buffalo. HOLD HIM FOR RANSOM. The Prisoner Compelled to Write a Letter to His Wife for Money. ALL DONE IN BROAD DAYLIGHT, Discovery of the Victim In a Cot- tage Securely Bound and Gagged. BUFFALO, N. Y., June 26.—Octavus C. Cottle, 50 years of age, head of one of the oldest and best families in this city, was found this morning bound by chains in the cellar of a vacant house at 36 Baynes street. He had been kidnaped and held for ransom in the heart of the city and in broad daylight. A well-dressed stranger appeared at Mr. Cottle’s North-street residence early Mon- day morning, ng he wanted to make a deal with Mr. Cottie about a piece of prop- erty which he owned on Chenango street. He asked Mr. Cottle to drive there with him at once, and Cottle consented. The stranger drove past Chenango street to Baynes. At 36 Baynes street, in the cen- ter of the block, between West Perry and Breckinridge, there is an unoccupied cot- tage. Arriving there, Mr. Cottle was in- vited to go in and show the place to the stranger. As he stepped inside the door, another stranger seized and gagged him. The two men securely bound Cottle with Topes, put handcuffs on his wrists and shackles on his feetand a dog collar around his neck. With chains they fastened the collar, shackles and handeuffs so that all were united. After an hour or two they released him so that his right hand was free, and producing pen and paper ordered hLim to write a note to his wife saying that he had been arrested in Fort Erie under an assumed name for a serious crime. The note closed with the earnest admoni- tion to his wife to give the bearer $2500, as it was absolutely necessary that he should have that sum atonce. One of the men then departed, leaving the other in charge of the prisoner. The messenger went to the Cottle house and saw Mrs. Cottle, who was about to give him the money when her eldest son came in. He advised her not to give up the money, and she told the man to call later in the day. In the meantime the matter was reported to the police. The man did not return to the Cottle house and the police could do nothing. The other man remained with Mr. Cottle until last night and provided him with water and crackers. Alarmed at the failure of his partner to appear, he disappeared from the house late last night. A policeman passing the house this morning heard groans, and breaking in the door of the house, made an inves- tigation. He found Mr. Cottle seated in a chair in the cellar loaded with chains, which were fastened to the floor in such a manner that he could not get to the door. No arrests have been made. —_— FIREBUGS ARE ARRESTED. Taken by Detectives Upon the Arvival of the Rhynland. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 26.—When the Rhynland, of the Red Star line, landed shortly before 7 o'clock this morning, she was boarded by detectives, who had war- rants jor the arrest of two men who came over in her. The men were Max Gluck- man, the mechanic of the firebug gang, and Adolph Hirshkopf, whose confession has led to the arrest of several of the gang. Both were indicted last March, and left the country. They were traced to Europe and Russia, and it was learned, ten days in the Alpine apartment-house, was deep- ened this morning when Rouphine Rouis | of 329 Fifth avenue gave himself up to the | police. The dead man's name was | George Kunley, and he had assumed | the name of Rouis by permission of | the man now in custody. Rouis is| the man who was seen running down the stairs, when Kunley fell with a bullet in his head. He was a well-known busi- ness man, dealing in antique furniture, with an aristocratic class of patronage. He had, he says, business troubles with Kunley, and declared this morning that the latter had driven him out -of business and swindled him out of $70,000. In de- tailing the particulars of the shooting Rouis said: “My business affairs are in a tangled condition and I went to Kunley’s flat last night to have a talk with him about the business affairs of my concern. He was partly disrobed, and 1n the course of our talk I asked him what became of ihe money. Inamoment and in a very ex- cited manner he grabbed me by the vest and said: ‘Do you want to save my life?’ He wanted me to take him back. He wanted me to forgive him and overlook the past. He said if I did not he would kill himself. I said: ‘Come, dress and let’s get out of here; it is too warm.’ “I had heard him malke a threat once before to kill himself and did not pay much attention to him. He produced a revolver and I ran away. I gotinto tie hall and he fired a shot at me. I was awfully frightened and went to the home of Dr. Neihaus, where I slept last night. I di not know that he had shot himself until this morning. Kunley was 24 years old and went into the business five or six years ago. “I met Kunley first in a boarding-house on Tenth street, and he seemed to be a bright young man, and I gave him $4000 with which to go to Europe and have a good time. He had some trouble in his life. He had just come out of Trenton prison. Idon’t know what he had been in there for. It wasI who made the busi- ness. He said if I would let him use my name he would go in and work for me and do what was right. We separated about a year and a half ago, and he has been at me since to take him back.” ‘There are indications that this case will develop some sensations. The Coroner said_he had no douot that it was a case of suicide, and released Rouis on the orpale ago, that they had started back for this country on the steamer Rhynland. The detectives took their men off the steamer, and wok them to police head- quarters. Gluckman was arraigned, and pleaded not guilt; KILLED I ASTREETFGHT, Register Patterson and City Marshal William Shoot Each Other. Editor Eisenberg, Who Caused All the Trouble, Is Only Slightly Wounded. SOUTH ENID, O. T., June 26.—-Hon. R. ‘W. Patterson, Register of the United States Land Office here, and City Marshal Williams shot and killed each other here to-night, and J. L. Eisenberg, publisher of the Daily Wave, was slightly wounded. Eisenberg and Patterson for some time have been at swords’ points over certain articles that have appeared in the Wave, and in to-day’s Wave appeared an article that was exceptionally objec- tionable. About 7 o’clock to- night Eisenberg and Patterson met on the street and warm words followed, when Eisenberg drew a knife at the same time Patterson drew his revolver, and just as Patterson fired the City Marshal stepped between the parties and was shot through the body, and Williams, as he was falling, shot Pat- terson through the head, killing him in- stantly. Eisenberg is now at home ard his wounds are not considered dangerous. Hon. R. W. Patterson was a resident of Macon, Ga., before receiving his appoint- ment here and since coming to the Terri= tory was one of the most popular Demo- cratic appointees within its borders. Williams, the party who shot Patterson, is the man who recently shot and killed two parties here and has a reputation which is not of the best. Eisenberg is an old newspaper man, having published papers in Colorado, Kan- sas and the Territory. For Pacific Coast Telegrams see of Lawyer Howe until Monday. Pages 3 and 4.
