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.

and after nightfall the women were
sent to a neighbor's house and the men
kept on guard. Duerer returned and
was run off four times. The fifth time
he cama with matches nnd a can of ker

Philadelphia, June 26. James II:
Nell, a wealthy young man of Monoga
hela City, Pa., had a rough and humil
iating experience during a brief so
journ In this city. He hud been settling
up 'tht estate of his finther, and Ills
health being somewhat 'broken, he de
cided to take a trip to Atlantic City.
He arrived here on his way to Atlan
tic City f.n June 20.
Before going to the seashore he de
cided to see something of Philadelphia,
and rode around the cilty for some
time. While stundlng nt the corner of
Fourth Btreet and Lehigh avenue Mr.
Nell was approached by a policeman
and to his unbounded astonishment
was arrested on the serious crime of
hlrhway robbery. Despite his expostu
laluns he was taken to the station
house and kept there until the next
m. tiling. He was then brought before
a magistrate, and, to his alarm, he was
positively ldentllled by Frank Hurst,
a Reading railroad conductor, as the
man that attacked Hurst the night be
fore on the street and robbed him of a
gold watch. Nell's explanations and
account of who he was were cut short
by the magistrate committing him to
the county prison to await the action
of the grand jury. For four days Nell
remained' In the county prison without
being given an opportunity to commun
icate with any one..
Lawyer becomes Interested.
On Monday last he was brought up
to the central police station and there
tedd his story to a lawyer. The law
yer was Interested in his ca.?e and tele
graphed to the mayor and chief of po
lice of Monongahela City for confirma
tion of the story. The answer came
promptly that Nell was all that he rep
resented himself to be and that he be
longed to one of the wealthiest and
best families In we.-tern Pennsylvania.
Nevertheless Nell was taken before
the grand Jury.
Ky this tl.ne Conductor Hurst was
not so sure that Nell was the man that
attacked and robbed him and was not
willing to swear to this effect. The
grand jury Ignored the bill and Nell
was discharged and he departed for
Atlantic City, thanking his good for
tune that through a misapprehension
and a false Identification, he was not
ill' the penitentiary serving a long term
for highway robbery. When Mr. Nell's
health U restored he proposes to return
to this city and make It warm for Mr.
Hurst and the policeman who arrested
him by bringing an action for damages
against them for false imprisonment.
