speech Of his life on The Mckinley tar
III bill, which was called mp and the
debate opened upon it by Senator
Morrill, in the Senate to-day. lie has
made many aud important additions
10 the speech which his election TO The
Senate prevented his delivering IN the
House when the bill was before that
body, aud il Is safe to predict that his
speech will BE- to the most widely read
document in The coming Jongression-
al Campaign, presenting, a twill, the
exact position Of the democratic party
on that very important question. II
has not been determined when Mr..
| Carlisle will speak but already adj
vance orders for copies OF hi, speech
are pouring into Washington uy every
mail. II will be well for the tariff re-
form ideas OF the democratic party to

had a part of tho decent sentiment OF
the country behind them. There is
10 indication, however, that the sena'
tors are to be dragooned into obcdi'
ence by Speaker Reeds methods.
The democratic Congressional Cnm'
paign committee are not employing
any brass bands or attempting to
make any hurrah IN the preliminary
stage Of the campaign; but all the
same it is working hard and intelli-
gently to win the coming fight, and It's
members are quietly confident OF sue
cess. It has completed one of the
most carefully prepared books OF the
addresses OF the working democrats
in every Congressional district in the
United States, and under the capable
management Of chairman Hon. lso3-
well p. Flower it may be relied upon
TO give a good account of itself wacn
