WHOLE NO. 2,5O2.
False Issues.
New York Herald.

The Republicans can not conceal
their uneasiness at the unexpected
action of their opponents in pre-
ferring Mr.. Carlisle to Mr.. Randall
for the Speakership. They are
raising alarm cries all over the
country Mr.. Carlisle, they say, Is
4 tree.trader,. a Souiherner, and
Heaven knows what.
When a political party gets TO
the end OF the rope, SO to speak
when it has no longer the peoples
interests at heart, but aims only
to retain power for the selfish ends
of its leaders-then ii resorts to
such intimidating methods as the
Republicans are now using. It
was so in 1859 and 1860, when the
Democrats saw they were about to
be deposed. They had nothing TO
offer the people they no longer
cared, nor were able TO serve The
country. Like the Republicans
now, they wished only TO retain
power; and so they raised the crv
OF disunion; they called themselves
Union savers" and denonnced
the Republicans as "Abolitionists ),
hAoh RiNASho duu the AgSallAntg
Of property. The Democratic Sab
olitionist" cry of those days was
Intended to serve the same ends as
the Republican 'free-tra crv
now. There is neither truth nor
sense in this cry, in one case or the
other, and the only intention was
then and it is now 10 misrepresent
and by Misrepresentation TO scare
timid and stupid voters.
The Democrats ought To fake
courage from the extremity to
which the Republicans are evident.
ly reduced. They need not ask for
better evidence that in the election
of Mr.. Carlisle they have struck the
right track than is furnished them
in the foolish outcries of the Repub-
licans.
II will be the fault of Democratic
timidity il the ridiculous pretence
Of solid SouthI against a solid
North makes the least Roadway,
Such a false. issue can not live II
the Democrats are only attentive
to the peoples wants and calmly
insist on the true issue.

A Kentucky Jewel.
Albany Journal (Rep.).

Mr.. Carlisle is undoubtedly tho
best equipped legislator in either
house of Congress, and, combined
with his exceptional knowledge of
affairs, he has remarkable skill and
ability as debater. He ALWAYS
leads his side in every great dis
cussion, and he never fails TO make
his best speech on the occasion.
He is also one of the very few men
in public life who are parliamenta-
rians as well as statesmen. Gener-
ally the little men look after the
rules OF order; and that is because
these rules are mainly studied for
the tricks in them. Large men
leave them alone. Mr.. Carlisle has
long practice as presiding officer of
the Kentucky Senate, and he has
studied the parliamentary law IL
self. Perhaps as good an indication
OF Mr.. Carlisle as public man as
can be found anywhere, can be
read in these lines of the closing
paragraph of speech made by
him March 1, 1881, in reply 10 a
enthusiastically brutal and base
less attack by Mr.. Keller. Mr..
Carlisle said:
81 have not made a political
speech, or at least not a partisan
speech, on the floor of this House
during all my service here. / have
given my earnest attention to what
honestly believed to be really the
highest interests of the general
public and it ill-becomes the gen
tleman from Ohio, simply because
and my my associates have diff
fered from gentlemen on that side
upon a great public measure like
this, to say that our motives are
not as pure and patriotic as
theirs"
The simple dignity of this re-
buke and its truthfullness moved
Mr.. Frye to rise and say:
"The gentleman from Kentucky
is recognized on this side as the
jewel of the Democratic party In
this House," a declaration that was
received with applause by both
sides.
