Mr.. Carlisle on Silver.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. 26.-John G..
Carlisle was seen at his residence in
Coyington tonight, and while desir-
Gus Of obliging the HERALD, did not
feel that he could at this time prop
erly express his views publicly on the
silver question. Admitting he said,
that he was to be Speaker Of the For
ty-ninth Congress, he felt that he
could be Of more use both to the coun-
try and to his party in the treatment
OF this question which must be an i'm
portant one in its deliberations with
out now committing himself to q poll
cy. In fact he is not prepared to say
exectly what ought to be done on the
subject, but expects to continue his
investigation and ehdeavor to arrive
at a correct conclusion at the proper
time. He does not think anything
definite can be accomplished before
the holidays, So far as he is inform
ed the Kentucky delegation will be
against the repeal Of the Bland act
unless something IS substituted for it
He is not fully informed as TO the pre-
vailing sentiment of the House, hay
ing had no correspondence with thu
new members on the subject.

New York and Virginia.

Next Tuesday two great political
contests will take place-one in New
York, the other in Virginia.
In New York the Mugwumps, and
the Herald, Evening Post and Times,
newspapers, which supported Cleve-
land, have gone back to the Republi-
cans, while the Sun and the Irish who
voted for Blaine have returned to the
Democratic fold and are warmly sup
porting HILL The contest will be
lively, but we believe the Democrats
will win.
In Virginia all is well. Malone
made desperate by the prospect of de
feat, has imported Foraker and Sher
man with their bloody shirt, but all tc
no purpose. The edict has gone forth
and Fitzhugh Lee will sweep Virgin
ia with twenty thousand votes tc
spare.

I mocratic Victory in Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, Nd, October 2S-To-
days election decided that Baltimore
would continue to be ruled by the
Democratic party. The reform move
ment was thoroughly organized, the
fusion with the Republicans led many
to believe that the regulars were
doomed. The result, however, was
the election of the Democratic candid
ate for mayor, and 213 Democrats and
seven fusionists in the first branch,
and seven Democrats and three fusion
lists in the second branch Of the city
council. The vote for mayor was as
follows
Hodges, Democrat, 30,711; Brown,
Fusionist, 2S,575. Hodges majority,
2,1S6.
The streets in the vicinity of the
newspaper offices are crowded with
people, and the Democrats are mani
testing Joy over their victory in yari-
Gus ways.

Cabinet Meeting.

WARRINGTON, OCTOBER 27--The cab
met meeting to-day was attended by
all the members except the Postmas-
ter General who was out Of the city.
The session was devoted principally to
the consideration Of questions arising
under the establishment Of the bound
airy line between the United States
and Mexico, and resulted in the for
nation of a series OF instructions to
officers engaged in that service on be-
half Of this Government.
The question OF allowing the publ
cation by press Of annual reports Of
bureau officers in advance of their be-
ing submitted to Congress was also
considered, and it was decided to
leave the matter entirely to the discre
ton of the heads of the bureaus.
These reports and also most of the re-
ports OF the members Of the Cabinet
have for many years been made pub
lie in advance Of their submission in q
bulk to Congress with the Presidents
annual message.
1t is said at the White House this
afternoon that the President will leave
Washington Sunday evening and pro-
coed direct to Buffalo, where he will
cast his vote for the Democratic State
ticket and return to Washington, arri-
wing here Wednesday evening or
Thursday morning. He will probably
make the journey alone.
Secretary Manning, who votes in
Albany, will probably leave here Sat
urday night, and Secretary Whitney
who votes in New York City, will
probably leave Monday. Private Sec
rotary Lamont, viii also leave Monday
morning for his home in Cortland
county.
The following was to-day promulga-
ted by the President for information
to the public:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, October y,
1S85.-For nearly eight months large
share of the time of the President has
been devoted to hearing applications
for offices and the determination Of
appointments, Much of the time thus
spent has undoubtedly subserved pub
lie good. Some OF it has been sacri.
feed to the indulgence of the people
in their natural insistence upon use
less interviews, and some Of ii has
been unjGstifiably wasted Public
welfare and due regard for the claims
Of those whose interests in the govern
ment are entirely disconnected witt
office holding, imperatively demand
that in the future the time Of The
President should be differently occu
pied, and he confidently expects tha
all good citizens will acquiesee in tht
propriety and reasonableness Of fol
lowing the plan adopted. To that end
after the LIST day of November, thu
| President will decline to grant inter
views to those seeking public position
or their advocates. On Mondays
Wednesdays, and Fridays during tina
month, from 10 to IL o'clock in TIN
morning, he will receive such othe
persons as call on strictly private bus
mess, and on the same day, at hal
past ! in the afternoon, he will NEE
those who merely desire to pay re
spects. On all other days during tina
month he will receive only Cabine
officers and heads of departments.

Political Fight in Virginia.

DANvILLE, VA, October 24.-The
Register has received the following
special from Martinsville, Va: ITO
day, about 10 o'clock, George L..
Gravely, the chairman of the republi-
can committee, assaulted one Joe
Banister, colored with intent to kill.
Banister is democrat, and Gravely
last night asked him how he was go
ing to vote, and was told to wait till
November and see. Gravely replied
with an oath, that he wanted to know
then. Words followed, and Banister
and Gravely had a difficulty. This
morning Gravely went to Spencer
Bros. factory, where Banister was at
work, and shot at him. Banister then
shot at Gravely. Several shots were
fired and Banister was struck in the
head. Mr., Gravely's pistol was then
empty, and Banister laid down his
pistol and whipped Gravely. During
the firing Col. Peter D. Spencer was
shot in the thigh, Banister is a dem
ocrat and Gravely republican
Gravely is in jail, and great excite
ment prevails.

WASHINGTON, October 26.-First
Assistant Postmaster General Steven
son has been very busy since his re-
turn from the west. His Office is the
Mecca about which the political pill
grims gather for solace. His desk is
piled up so high that he is almost hid
and his room is crowded continually.
Thus far there have been about $500
fourth-class offices filled, leaving A.
900 yet to deal with. OF the Presi-
dental offices, about $50 have been
filled and about 1900 are left. Mr.,
Stevenson's reputation as an execu-
toner has gone before him into the
little crossroads postoffices and resig-
nations are coming in very rapidly
from those who want to leave under
the best auspices.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 26, 1SS6.--This
was an exceedingly busy day in Col
lector Cox's Office, and the receipts Of
revenue reached the enormous sum Of
$161,169.59. This is not only the lar
gest collection in Louisville for one
day, but the largest in any revenue
district in the country since the reve.
nue. laws were put in force. The rea-
son Of the rush is that all the January
1882, whisley came out of bond on
this date. The collections represent
1,7sS,SS6 gallons OF whiskey, or 4,422
barrels. The next largest day preyi
Gus was in May last, when the collec
tions were $4,000. Thus the Louis
vile office has made the two larges
days collections on record in the Uni
ted States.
An interesting suit was recently trieC
at Lawrence, Mass, under the civil
damage law. The law provides thai

ing the strike.
American 4daGtaeiure.
The 9Th month OF the strike in the nail

with 1t the indications are multiplying
that tho end is near at hand. By this we
do not mean that there is any present
probability Of the nailers yielding to the
demand OF the manufacturers or the man.
uiacturers accepting the scale proposed by
the nailers, so that, technically, the strike
promises to continue far into the future.
But the indications are that the employ.
ment Of feeders in operating the nail ma.
chimes will be q success. Gs there are al
ready over 500 machines in operation in
the West, run by some 400 feeders. 1t Ia
not tho intention TO very much increase
the number OF feeders who are learning
tho trade, as 1t is their desire to perfect
them in the business, so that they can run
as nailers generally do, from two 10 four
machines.
The strike, which was at first one for
rates oil wages. has very much changed its
character with the employment Of the
feeders, and now the question has, in adj
dition TO the rates oil wages, taken on q
much broader and more important phase.
Il has been the Claim Of the Railers for
years that the high prices paid them we're
Justified on the ground that the nailers'
trade was one requiring not only special
Intelligence, but special skill and long
training. They have ridiculed tho idea
that feeders could be taught within
reasonable time to make good nails, and,
in their own opinion, at least, have re-
garded the manufacturers who have as
serted TO the contrary as mild lunGtics.
The indications are that the manufacture
ers have been right, and the woskmen
wrong. i. is folly for the workmen TO

IRON the nail miiis Of she West. The pro-
ductiOn at present Is rot ne great, growing
out Of the fact that the nails are more
carefully wat he'd than when the mills
were running regularly, and upon the least
appearance Of iInperfeCtion in the nails
the machine is stopped and adjusted at
once. But the nails are good, and the Sc.
rious iesirre OF the whole trouble TO the
mailer is that this strike will demonstrate
that his trade ia not so difficult Ss has
been claimed: md what is still worse, It
will increase the number OF naileEs in the
country By several hundred. The nailers
refused to permit the teaching Of 3 per
cent year; there are being taught now
four OF Ave hundred nai'eTB-more than
under the demand OF the feeders would
have been taught in many years.
