CIScIsSArI, November 5.-AIi the
counties in the Sixth distric. are not
yet heard from, but enough is known to
make 1t certain that Speaker John G.
CARLISLE is elected by majority of seven
or eisbt hundred. With reference TO
his comparatively majority, Carlisle
said, tonight, TO an Associated Press
reporter: "lf the vote against me last
Tuesday had been larger than
heretofore, some significance might
be attached to it. Such, how
ever, i not the fact. Two years ago
my opponent received nearly twice as
many votes as were cast against me on
Tuesday, and yet. two years ago, my
majority was nearly coo. IL It had
been generally supposed that the OPP
position to me really amounted to any
thing, think my majority at this cleo
ton would have been 5000 or
700. In outside cities and towns
scarcely known that had an opponent,
and even in cities and towns my friends
attached very little Importance TO the
opposition. They were thrown nff their
guard blythe fact that seI eral times
heretofore, candidates had announced
themselves IN opposition and had re-
ceived q very small vote"
CIsCIsNATI. November 5.-Carlisle is
probably elected, but By marrow
margin; he claims majority Of from
400 70 coo. The official count begins
to-day in the eight counties composing
the district and must be completed be-
fore the result can be known Unfor-
tHnately for those who are most
anxious TO learn the final result, the
counties whose votes will decide the
matter are almost inaccessible Two
Of them have neither railroads nor tele-
graphs, but il is probable that enough
information may be obtained some
time during the night 10 furnish
material for a decisive statement of the
result. The opinion here is universal
that the cause Of the surprisingly close
coatest lay In the fact that nearly all
the Democrats in the back counties
were unaware of any formal opposition
to Carlisle, and thousands OF Demo
Gratis stayed at home. Boone County,
which will give Carlisle about 500 ma
jority, is Democratic by at least 5000,
and this is q sample OF the indifference.
The majority tor Thoebe in Campbell
and Kenton Counties is due chiefly TO
the large number of Knights of Labor
in Darlington and Newport. The
chances this morning are decidedly
favorable TO Carlisle.
Carlisle said further: The losses are
BY no means confined to the States or
districts whose representatives voted 70
consider the tariff bill at the last ses-
sion of Congress, and there is nothing
in the result 10 discourage the adyo-
Gates of reform. Many causes con-
tributed to the defeat OF our candidates
in the different localities. Some Of
these causes were local some general.
1t is too early to attempt to enumerate
them, but think it is safe to say that
local causes have contributed far more
70 produce the result than general ones.
At any rate, there is no just cause for
alarm Or dependency. The Demo
s-atic party has survived many defeats,
which would have been fatal to any
other political organization. and this
little repulse will only stimulate 70
greater exeriions in the future. We
need not surrender any principle or
abandon any policy heretofore an
nounced. but We must lrepare 70 meet
our opponents openly and maniully IN
every issue that divides two parties
