MIR. Carlisle tonight said: ''If the vote
against me last Tuesday had been larger
than the vote against me heretofore some
Significance might be attached 10 1t. such,
however, Is not the tact. Two years ago my
opponent received 0 1895 votes, or nearly II
not quite twice us many as were cast against
me on Tuesday, and yet two years ago my
majority was nearly 6,00O. II II had been
generally supposed that the opposition TO
me really amounted to anything think my
majority at this election would have been
5000 or 900. Outside Of the cities aud the
towns adjacent to them Il was scarcely
known that had an opponent, and even In
the cities and towns my friends attached
worry little Importance TO the opposition.
They we're thrown of their guard by the
fact that several times heretofore cand idates
had announced themselves in opposition
and had received u very small vote. They
supposed 1t would be the same way this
time and therefore gave scarcely any atten-
ton to the election"
Being asked II his views on the tariff
Affected the vote TO any extent Mr.. Carlisle
replied; "Tho tnriu question had no more
influence upon the vote this time than II
has had at previous elections In this dis
trtet. There are always few men who
vote against me on account OF my advocacy
OF revenue reform, and presume they did
80 at the recent electioni but l have no
reason to believe that the number was
greater than usual. This congressional dis
triet is Overwhelmingly in favor of a re-
vision OF the tariff and reduction OF taxa
tion, and no man who openly takes the
opposite ground could be elected on any
ticket. OF course, systematic attempt will
be made to show that the losses sustained
by the Democratic party at the recent blec-
tions are due TO its position on the tariff
question, but careful examination OF the
returns will prove that there Is no
foundation for such conclusion.
The losses are by no means con-
fined to the states or districts whose
representatives voted to consider the tariff
bill at the last session OF Congress, and
there Is nothing In the result to discourage
the advocates OF revision and reduction.
Many causes contributed TO the defeat OF
our candidates In different localities Some
of the causes we're local and some general.
1t Is too early to attempt TO enumerate
them, but think II is safe TO say that local
issues contributed far more TO pro-
duce the result than general ones. At any
rate there is no Just cause for alarm or
dependency. The Democratic party has
survived many defeats which would
have been fatal to any other political organ
ization, and this little repnlse will only
stimulate 1t To greater oxertlons In the
future. We need not surrender any principle
or abandon any policy heretofore an
hut Of t,r 10 .4
opponents openly and manfully on every
issue that divides the two parties"
oARIIsLE ON THE ELECTION.
ST.. LOUIS, Nov. 7.-Hon. John g. Car
Isle, in AN interview here, said; ~ am
very much surprised aud disappointed at
Morrison's defeat. The same thing was
tried with me and by the same people.
My opponent was an unknown political
quantity. anticipated no trouble and
my friends had no reason for alarm. Had
been advised of the coming storm |
would have been elected by the usual
majority in the district. However,
pulled through all right"
did the Knights oppose you 2"
Eyes, sir. They did everything in
tneif power 10 beat me. Tho Pruteu-
tionists aided and abettod them. The
same influences which fought and de-
feaiad Colonel Morrison also combined
against me. tell You something will be
done about this method of conducting
elections. Some decisive stops will be
taktu in the premises. The Protectionists
are guilty of perpetTating the most out
rageous fraud Of the last ten years. They
must be exposed, and they will be, too
Mark what l say. They need not hope
by tho most lavish expenditures of money
to throttle the cause of tarid reform; the
fight against undue, heavy and onerous
taxation will go right ahead"
TO CONTEST CARLISLE.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 7.-George Thoebe,
candidate against Speaker Carlisle for
Congress in the Sixth Kentucky district,
announces his intention to contest the

consideration whatever, and in one in
