SILVER MEX OUT 01 SIGHT Ihcy Aro Hurled Jloncntli tho Avnlancho of Yellow Dii'.t-l nJImliiishoJ Con fidence Expressed in tlio Ad ministration of blunders. Loulsvliv Ky., June 20. Notwith standing 'the fact that the delegates pat up until l.r.O this mnrninK trying to transact some of the business of the Democratic state convention -with prac tically no success nt all, they were up and at It again bright and early this morning. The convention was in run ning? order by 9.30 o'clock. A majority and minority report was presented from tho committee on reso lutions. The majority report was an unequivocal endorsement of the na tional administration and sound money while the minority report declared fur n single gold standard and was an effort to split the sound money men. After a long debate the majority report was adopted by a vote of C!4 to HXl. The report as adopted was in part as fol lows: The Democracy of Kentucky, in conven tion assembled, congratulates the country upon the repeal of the McKlnley turliT law, and upon the evidence we have on ewry hand-of returning prosperity, under the operation of reduced and equalized tariff taxation; and we denounce as fraught with danger and disaster the threat of our Republican adversaries to re-establish a protective tariff and to relnaugurute a policy of equal taxation which. In connec tion with general mlsgovernment by the Republican party, culminated in the busi ness panic of The Democratic party, which has always stood for the separation of church and state for the sake alike of civil and re ligious freedom, docs not hesitate to con demn all efforts to crente a distinction among citizens because of differences in faith as repugnant to an enlightened ago and abhorrent to the Instincts of Ameri can freedom. We alllrm without qualifications the principles and policies declared by the na tional Drmocrtlc platform of and de clare that our present national T"Tnoerail administration is entitled to the thanks of the party for Is honest, courageous and statesmanlike mailugement of public af fairs; and we express our undiminished confidence In the Democracy and patriot ism of President Grover Cleveland and his distinguished co-adviser and Secretary John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky. A scene of unbounded enthusiasm fol lowed the reading of the majority re port. The names of Cleveland and Car lisle were received with loud shouts of approbation. Ilnrdin Nominated. When the convention met tonight, P. Watt Hardin, of Mercer county, was nominated by the Democrats of Ken tuel.y to make the race for governor against W. O. Bradley. Only one bal lot was necessary and the representa tives of the free silver element seemed to have plenty of votes to spare, after ui-eivlng the necessary numlfer. There were sixty-nine complimentary votes cast on the ballot, most of which be 1 mged to Hardin, and woukl undoubt edly been his If It had been necessary to take another. When It became known th.it the 440 votes recessary to a choice had been east for the successful candidate the delegates broke out of all bounds. They leaped out of their chairs, waved their hats and handkerchiefs In the air and hurst Into a lusty chorus of approba tion. I'mbrellas were raised, coats tied to the ends of canes and waved frantically In the air and banners with queer devices on them elevated by the various delegations. Some of those bore tho words "Hardin and harmony;" others "Harmony or Hell." The victory can he assigned to no other reason than Mr. Hardin's per sonal popularity. The convention had early In the day adopted a Bold stand ard platform which rejected all com promise with the advocates of free coinage, of whom Mr. Hardin was one of the foremost In Kentucky. The Clay men, much encouraged thereby, and be lieving that the convention would re fuse to place upon Its roll of honor a man who stood diametrically opposed to Its principles, were looking- for vic tory, and the result was a bitter sur prise to them. One of the most noteworthy features of the convention has been Its devotion to the cause of what It has termed "Sound money." The friends of Mr. Carlisle consider It a great victory for him. While he was going through the state preaching the doctrine of the yel low metal, It Is worthy of note that P. Watt Hardin was also stumping the same territory In the Interests of free silver and urging the advantages of a 16 to .1 ratio. All dissensions In the party on the currency question Is not ended, as the division in the committee on resolu tions proves. K. P. Tyler, of Fulton county, was nominated by a viva voce vote for lieu tenant governor. TURNED HIS HAIR GRAY. Young Man's Terr I bio Expcrlonco In nn Abnndonod AH no. New Castle, Pa., June 26. News has Just reached this city of the terrible ex perience of a young man named George Hobinson, who was for fourteen hours In an abandoned portion of the mines of the Penn Coal company, about six miles north of this city. Sunday young Robinson, who has never worked about a mine, visited his brother, who has charge of the engines at the shaft. About noon his brother sent him Into the mine to look after one of the pumps. George vasr provid ed with an ordinary miner's lamp, and had no fear of entering the mine alone. An hour passed and his non-appearance began to cause unaaslness. A thorough search of the mine failed to discover him, and about dark several miners were enlisted to prosecute the search. It being surmised that the young fel low might have wandered Into an aban doned working, the older parts of the mine were entered. This was a dangerous proceeding, as there was likelihood of encountering fire-damp. After several hours the men were almost ready to give up their search when the object of their quest was found sitting on the floor of an old tunnel almoBt insensible from fright. He tells nn awful story of his wan derings In the deserted mine. It ap pears he was lost in trylnff to retrace his wny to the open air, being left In total darkness a few minutes later by his lamp going out. The abandoned portion of the mine is acres In extent, and Is a veritable maze of tunnels and cross cuttings. When he entered the mine his hair was coal black; when he came out it had turned gruy.
