THE PROMISE TO COME.
Speaker Carlisle promised to visit Georgia
some months ago but was prevented by
sickness. Recently he was invited to come
to the Chautauqua and was told that visit
from him and a speech would help to heal
Gratis. IL the interest Of harmony and
good feeling Speaker Carlisle consented
To come. Then arose the talk about
inviting Congressman Mckinley,
republican % answer Speaker Carlisle.
" hen Mr. Carlisle learned that he was 10
te followed 10y republican, ne doubted the
sincerity Of the statement that he was
wanted in Georgia 10 heal the division
among the democrats. He consented to be
come an attraction at show TO which ad-
mission is charged, solely with view to
uniting the democrats
TIE N'KINLEY INCIDENT
A great stew was raised becauso Senator
Colquitt did not wish to invite ii republican
70 come and answer Mr. Carlisle. Learn
ing Of the fuss made about Senator Colquitt
and Congressman Stewart and Mckinley,
aud believing that the harmony business
amounted 10 nothing, Mr. Carlisle de"Idel
that his proper place at this time was WISH
ingtOn, and there he has decided 10 remain.
Senator Colquitt is of the opinion that
Mr. Carlisle would have come TO Georgia
but for the invitation extended 10 Mr. Nc
Kinley He SAYS that Mr. Carlisle was
urged by tie Chautauqua people b como
there and make a speech IN the interest of
the divided democracy in this state He be
heved that this was the real motive in ask
ing him 70 come and until the invitation
was sent to Mr. Mckinley to come and
make tariff speech. This caused Mr.. Car
Isle 10 doubt the sincerity of the motive
assigned, and he therefore cancelled the en-
gagement.
WONT RECONSIDER
WASHINGTON, July 23.-Ever since it was
announced in these dispatches last week
that Speaker Carlisle was unwilling TO go
70 Georgia on account Of the Mckinley
complication the speaker has been getting
kilograms urging HIM TO reconsider and 10
come u Georgia The speaker has answered
them all that he cannot do 50. He SAYS that
he would like very much to 90 10 Georgia.
and will cndeavor TO do so If be can get
away from HIS campaign work in Kentucky
after cong eas adJourns, but he does not
want 10 he put in false position and so 10
has given up the hope Of going nov. Mean
while, Mr.. Mckinley, as he told the
NEWS correspondent today, has received
no invitation to 60 TO Georgia. although he
has heard n great deal about it. Ia tho
absence Of an invitation he would not say
whether If invited he would accept or not.
il is thought that If invited Mr. Mckinley
would now accept If he goe he will speak
on thetariG from the protection standpoint,
but as an industrial and notn political qucs-
ton. Senator Brown told the NEWS cor
respondent today that he had received no
invitation for Mr.. Mckinley, aud did not
know whether he would accept or not if
invited
