cognized on all sides OF the House as one
Of the ablest men in public life, ms a skill

tive in his views. He is lawyer OF high
ability, with n mind trained and disci-
plined. and never extreme OF radical in
ANYTHING. On the tariff his views have
been announced 10 the country in several
well-prcpared speeches and in the running
debates on that subject. A prominent Re-
publican member OF the Committee OF Ways
and Means Of the last Congress told me-"
said Mr.. Tucker. "the other day that
he in his speeches during the past fall had
intended TO asSail the protective position
OF the Democratic party in case they elect

amined everything Mr.. Carlisle had said
on the tariff, and he had found not one
word nor one vote which he had given in
which any radical or dangerous mOdiiica-
ton OF the tariff to any interest OF the
country could be found. In other words.

HOW TIE SOUTH VOTED.
"a very large majority OF the southern
members" said he, "were in favor OF Mr.
Carlisle and Of his views. They had beer
so in the last Congress. His views anC
( those OF members who cOncurred with hin
were well known before the elections t(
! 10 this House and members had been elect
ed on that issue. Accordingly, Mr.. Car
| Isle commanded large minority OF thu
southern vote, and majority OF the north
ern vote was cast against Mr.. Randall, Mr.
| Carlisle receiving more northern vote
than Mr.. Randall. A large proportion o
the Cox vote, if the question had been be
tween Carlisle and Randall, would hav
been east for the former. Nothing

said he. Gin the sense OF doing away wit
customs-dutles. He favors a tariff for rev

industries as must be incidental to an
tariff which produces the amount OF rev
