FRANKFORT, KY, May 17.-Carlisle
was nominated for Senator this eve
ming. The last ballot stood-Carlisle
Y, Lindsay 43. The vote WAS then
made unanimous.
John Griffin Carlisle, the man who
is to succeed Beck in the Senate, has
national reputation. He has exper-
fence, middle age, ability, energy and
courage, with good share Of execu-
tive ability. But executive ability
is not always the only thing required.
a man may do Il weeks work in
single day, and, lacking Judgment,
may make dozen bad mistakes in
the meantime; whereas, a man of
judgment will avoid the mistakes al
together.
John Griffin Carlisle is native Ken
tuckian, having been born nine and
forty years ago in Kenton County.
He looks ten years older than that.
His hair is very thin, and there are
deep wrinkles in bis smoothly shaven
face. He is built on the big model Of
most Kentuckians-large in frame,
tall, broad shouldered and large hands
and feet, and, in movement, rather
awkward.
He was admitted to the bar in 1868,
and has never given up his practice
since. He has been a member of both
branches Of the State Assembly,
presidential elector, delegate-at-
large to National Democratic Con-
ventions, acknowledgement of his
State and finally he has been contin-
uously in Congress for eight years,
and succeeded Mr.. Randall as speaker.
