Carlisle Explains.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 5.-The official count in
the Sixth Kentucky district today shows
that Speaker John G. Carlisle is elected by
majority Of 76S. Carlisle says of the appar-
entity small majority given him, IF the vote
against me last Tuesday had been larger
than the vote against me heretofore, some
significance might be attached to it, Such,
however, is not the fact. Two years ago my
opponent received 1925 votes, or nearly, il
not quite twice as many as were cast against
me Tuesday, and yet two years ago my ma
jority was nearly 6000 fit had been gen.
orally supposed that, the opposition to me
really amounted to anything think my ma
jority at this election would have been 6000
or 1000. Outside Of the cities and towns
adjacent TO them 1t was scarcely known that
had an opponent and even in cities and
towns my friends attached very little i'm
portance to the opposition They were
thrown OFF their guard by the fact that sew
eral times, heretofore candidates had an
nounced themselves in opposition and had
received very small vote. They supposed
it would be the same way this wear, and,
therefore, gave scarcely any attention to the
election. Being asked II his views on the
tariff effected the vote to any extent, Car
Isle replied: "The tariff question had no
more influence upon the vote this time than it
has had at previous elections in this district.
There are always few men who vote
against me on account of my advocacy Of
revenue reform, and presume they did so
at the recent election, but have no reason
to belive that the number was greater than
usual. This Congressional district is over
whelmingly in favor of a revision Of the tar
i'll, and a reduction of taxation and no man
who openly takes the opposite group could
be elected on any ticket OF course a sys-
tematic attempt will be made to show that
the losses sustained by the Democratic party
at the recent elections are due to its posi-
tion on the tariff question, but careful ex-
animation of the returns will prove that there
isno foundation for such a conclusion. The
losses are by no means confined To the States
or districts whose Representatives voted 10
