Mr. Carlisle RenomInated.

CovINGToN, KY, Sept. 1S.-Hon. John G.
Carlisle was unanimously renominated to-
day. After thanking the convention and
praising President Cleveland's administra-
tion, Mr.. Carlisle said the Democratic plat
form declares that unnecessary taxation is
unjust taxation, and by that declaration the
Democratic party will stand or fall in this
contest. He defended the fiscal policy of the
administration and alluded to Mr.. Blaine as
the head of the Republican ticket. After a
long free trade speech he said in conclusion:
mo man objects to a rate of taxation suffi-
cient to raise a sufficient amount of revenue
to defray all the expenses of public admins
tration, but when the tax drummer has taken
from the people sufficient amount of their
earnings to accomplish this purpose, he
should take his hand out of their pocket.
That is the Democratic doctrine and the
