GREAT ENTHUSIASM.

Blaine and the Trusts.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 1S.-The democratic
convention of the Sixth Congressional dis
trict of kentucky to-day. at Covington, re-
nominated Mr.. Carlisle by acclamation.
Mr.. Carlisle afterward appeared and ad-
dressed the convention.
Mark Gray of Grant county, Kentucky.
placed Mr.. Carlisle in nomination before
the convention, and Theodore Hallery made
an eloquent speech seconding the motion.
The nomination was made with great en-
thusiasm, and upon Mr.. Carlisle appearing,
there was an outburst of applause lasting
several minutes. After expressing his CRATE
full appreciation of the devotion of his
friends who had placed him in nomination
for the eighth time to represent them In con-
gress, Mr.. Carlisle said:
The great question before this country is the
question of federal taxation. 1t makes little
difference whether am elected to congress or
not, but 1t is of overwhelming importance to
the people that the next House of Representa-
tives should be democratic [applausel and that
the next President should be democrat also
Cheers The political parties have nominated
their candidates and made formal declaration
of their principles, and you will be called upon
next November to decide between them. The
Republican party has chosen as its standard
bearer Mr.. Harrison, a respectable lawyer of
dent Levi P, Morton, very rich banker in Wall
street.
THE WINNING TICKET.
The Democratic party has selected the true
and-tried, non-corruptible President, who now
fills the chair, O man who has brought the ad-
miniStTation back to the ways of the constitu-
tion, and has given to this people a clean, con.
servative and faithful administration Of the
law. Cheers With him, theyhave associated
Mr.. Thurman [cheers who, for many long
hos. hAnr hacf and tn
tive of our western democracy. I want
to call your attention to the overwhelming
importance of the great question which is now
presented for the decision of the people, and
Congratulate you on the fact that at last, after
many long years of struggle we have got this
question fairly and squarely before the people
Cheers It is declared in the democratic plat
form that unnecessary taxation is unjust tax
alton, and by that declaration the Democratic
party will stand or fall in this contest
OTHER TOPICS TOUCHED UP.
Carlisle then touched upon the treasury
surplus, bond purchases, deposits of
treasury accumulation in banks, trusts,
and devoted considerable time in replying
to the arguments put forth by Mr.. Blaine
in his recent trip in Maine, and Gen.
Harrison in his letter of acceptance. He
began his remarks by saying that he was
not going to make an argument, but
simply to state some propositions which he
thought the people ought to take into con-
sideration in this campaign. He said:
l know that if the intelligent and honest men
of this country will take up this question OF
federal taxation unbiased by political prejudice
and untrammeIed by political honor, they will
give q righteous decision, and Cleveland CHEERS
and Thurman lcheersl will be elected by a
majority much larger than that which secured
the presidency for us in 1884. Prolonged
cheers This administration, by its prudent
and conservative course, by its honest and faith
full execution of the law in all parts of the coun-
try, has removed all the apprehensions of danger
and disaster which seemed to prevail in the
minds of some of our opponents four years ago.
No man can say that the affairs of the people
and the affairs of the government are not as
secure In the hands of the great national Demo-
cratic party as in the hands of any other
political party that ever existed in this country.
Loud cheers.1 This is our country as well az
We have as much interest in its greatne IS and
in its glory as they can possibly have.
THE SURPLUS.
Touching the surplus, Mr.. Carlisle said;
The Secretary OF the Treasury told me just
before left the city of Washington that the
surplus revenue collected during the first
fifteen days of the present month over and
above the expenses Of the government was
S11 100000. At the rate OF several hundred
thousand dollars every day and night the
money of the people, money which they need
in their business is being poured into the public
treasury, where it is not needed. lCheers. To
relieve the treasury from this enormous
amount and prevent disaster to the bust
ness of the country, the administration is
compel ed to purchase outstanding bonds OF
the government at an enormous premium, 40
that the bondholder is by reason OF the un-
fortunate situation in which the revenue laws
have been left taking from the people millions
and millions Of dollars in excess of the amount
which his obligation calls for, and our friend
Mr. Harrison. in his recent letter of acceptance
saws that this process should go on, and money
should continue to be paid to the bondholder.
SHERMAN IN THE SAME BOAT.
Mr. Sherman, former Secretary of the Treas
ury, takes substantially the same ground, and
critcses in harsh manner the action OF the
present administration i'm depositing part of the
money in national banks so that ID can be loaned
TO the people and then go into the channels Of
trade The records of the department will
sustain the statement that while Mr.. Sherman
was Secretary OF the Treasury he had at
ore time In single national bank more money
than this administration has to-day in all the
national banks of the United States. LCheers.
Now the great question you are to decide is
whether this system Of taxation shall be con
tinued indefinitely, or whether the country will
return to the methods of taxation which pre-
vailed in this country before the war.
ITS MANIFOLD EVILS
In addition TO the fact that this system OF
taxation imposing enormous and unnecessary
burdens upon the people, that 1t has accumu-
ldteu IN tne uohSuTy itIRo sutiiS Oh IHOIley
which ought to be in the hands Of those who
earn 1t by their labor and skill, IL is the parent
of trusts and combinations and conspiracies to
control the products and prices OF necessary
articles which the people are compelled TO use.
When / see that MIR. Blaine, who seems to be
the mouthpiece of the Republican party, has
given quasi Endorsement, at least, TO these
monopolies, believe that when man attends
his own funeral he ought to be allowed to go at
the head Of the procession. Laughter and ap-
plausel But It seems that Mr.. Harrison is not
TO enjoy this privilege. LApplause.l
LARCENY PRIVATE AFFAIR.
Mr. Blaine is the great central figure In this
campaign and he tells the people, in the face
Of the platform Of his party, in the face Of the
declarations Of his political friends the
stump. and his neighbors, that these trusts are
private affairs, in which neither the President
or anybody else has any particular right TO in
terfere. Laughter and applausel Why,
my friends, larceny is private
affair-a very private affair Laughter.
and yet tits not supposed improper to Interfere
with it by law. The highwayman who meets
You on the public road and demands your
money or your life is engaged in the transaction
of a private enterprise, but still the law takes
cognlzance Of his act and Furnishes it as crime.
(Applause.l
