Tu EN-Qumaa correspondent was with Senator Blackburn at bis bom la Versailles to-day. and found the great champion of silver Just determined' and pugnacious aa ver in th oanss of tb whit metal. Ia fact, th Senator has made two speecbea sine, ths Louisvtll Convention on at Bedford.

In the apsoehea held that th platform adopted at Lou- tovlll do not vary a hair's breadth from th principles of th. party enunciated by th.

last National Democrat lo Convention, and that It simply raafflma th party's rrucT ADHxaawca to bimstaujsm. Senator Blackburn had intended to fill aa inaageenent to epesk at Winchester oa Sat urday, ths 6th but la defers no. to th. wishes of th Stat Committee that no mors campaigning don until after that body meets at Louisville next week aad blocks out th programma, ha reluctantly can celed tbe appointment. Whea and wbr his next speech will be mads hs does not know.

Ha expects to be out ef Kentucky for several days during th middle of July, hi Intention now being to call a meeting ef tb Senate Commute on Rules, of which to Chairman, at Washington within th next 10 days, for tb transaction of Im portant business. "There to on thla; I wish yoa would maks so plain for me that it can longer hav the least semblance truth," amid Senator Blackburn to Tbi Eaquiaaa correspondent. and that la that there to not th slla-htsst 'rttina or nx-vtu. Or estrangement between Major L. Nor- and myself.

The Louisvtll press. which, sine ths Inception of this canvass. has treated so unfairly and unjustly. baa been making a mighty outcry during th. past week about what it calls a spUt between Norman aad because of some supposed hostility to as.

h. displayed at th. State Convention. There Is not a particle of truth la aU this. As a matter of fact.

I account Major Norman ona of my warmest personal and political friends, and am confident hs would do nothing whatever to In jure me. These wild aad nn truthful stories I suppose are based on the part 'Major Nor man to popularly presumed to hav taken In shaping th course of ths Stat Coavea- tio. but I am certain had ha foreseea tha unfair een.ti rtons a hit' my alen "atlff exultant enemies would place oa th events at Louisville last week he would have done all in his power to turn affairs better to my advantage thaa the present surface indications bespeak. Tb plain truth of ths whole history of ths platform-maklnr at Louisville appears to me to be that Ma lor Norman and his friends realised only after it was too late that they had placed DANoaaors rowca In the hands of uncertain men. Ia other words, after making It possible for ths friend of ths Administration to control the Platform Committee with th.

tacit under standing that th resolutions reported were to be mild and conciliatory. Norman aad thos who worked with him to that end were Imposed upon and betrayed, just I thought all along they would be. Or. to state it la another form, the Commute on Resolutions got away from my friends after they had made it. I do not hold Major Norman responsible for this In th least degree, and.

tn fact, I know that he could not prevent It." Tbe consensus of opinion- of tb best-In formed politicians here at Lexington puts a new and significant meaning on tha with drawal of Governor John Young Brown from th senatorial race, Less thaa two weeks ago it was known that ths Governor waa busily engaged la making all preparations to take th. stump aad remain actively ia th. canvass to th close. He had called a number of trusted friends Into consulta tion on tbs points of his Initial speech, and had arranged nearly all the details of fats opening address, even as to the place of its delivery, but whea the Stat Convention met and BAN OUOH-SS5d OVKB MIM By the nomination of Hardin. Norman and Hendrick.

Governor Browa is said to have changed bis notion about taking tha stump, and will leave his old-time enemies to fight their battle as best they can without any assistance from htm. Of course, if he awoke at aU. even though it were to further bis own candidacy for the Senate, he would hav to espouse the ticket, as well as th platform of the Louisville Convention, and as hs has never, tn all his long aad bril liant career, been known to bow humbly to the behests sad dictates of implacable foe, his proud, stern nature would not permit him to vary tb ruls of a lifetime in this Instance, not even though such variation might gala for him a seat ia the United States Senate. Governor Brwwa's friends say that In this campaign bo wUl occupy aa attitude very similar to that taken by Rosco Conklmg, when James a.
