CARllSLE'S VIEWS.

CARLisLE'S VIEWS.
Senator Carlisle in an interview
discussed the political situation al
length. Speaking of the third
party, he said:
II regard the presence of a third
party ticket in the field in 1892 a.
contingent. Suppose the republi-
cans nominate Harrison, pro
nouncedly anti-silver in his belief,
and the democrats place Cleveland
at the head of their ticket. MI.
Cleveland has placed himself OF
record against free coinage. The
third party would then be con
fronted by the horns of a dilemma.
Probably they would have ticket
Of their own. If either one of thu
two great parties were to nominate
a man who is disposed to coquettt
with the free silver people, he would
attract the alliance or as much OF
it as remains.
"Mr. Blaine enjoys very con-
siderable personal popularity in thu
democratic party, largely owing t.
the democratic press, which mad,
him out an opponent to the forc'
bill and antagonistic Of the Nc
Kinley bill, but he is really, as !;
high protectionist. the worst o.
them all. Mr.. Blaine struck pop
ular chord when he sang out TO,
reciprocity, and he is now reapint
the benefit of his own popularity
| think Mr.. Blaine could be beate',
by a united and vigilant demo
cracy."
Senator Carlisle expressed tn,
opinion that a free silver bill viii
pass next congress, and that Paesi
dent Harrison would be greatly
embarrassed by it.
"As regards the democratic can.
didate, Mr.. Cleveland is, in NJ,
judgement, the strongest. He ma,
have offended the pro-silver men b,
his remarks against. free coinage
but he enjoys a wonderful reputa
ton among the people. The plain
everyday folks in the west ant
south swear by him. They trus
him implicitly. They regard hin
as conscientious and safe. know
of no one democrat who enjoys tn
confidence Of the people to such !.
degree as Cleveland"
SENATOR PUGH TALKS.
Senator James L. Pugh, of Ala
bama, one of the ablest men on tn,
democratic side of the senate, speak.
as follows:
II do not believe Mr.. Clevelar d
will again be our candidate for the
presidency. Mr.. Cleveland, in nv
opinion, threw away his chance
when he wrote his silver letter t
the Reform club. He not only
injured himself with the democrats
ON account of his views expressed
in that letter, but on account of the
inopportune time at which it was
penned. At that time we were
working away in the senate, strain
ing every nerve t. defeat thu force bi, !
by forming an alliance with western |
republicans who favored the free !
coinage of silver. We naturally |
expected encouragement from Mr.
Cleveland, but we received none as |
regards the force bill. Then. be. |
sides these reasons, the division OF |
opinion among New York demo- |
rats does not improve Mr.. Cleye.
lands chances of receiving another |
nomination.
IF James E. Campbell defeats
Major Mckinley for governor of |
Ohio, it will be impossible to pre-. |
ven. him from receiving the demo
cratic nomination for president. |
Campbell's speech to the convcn- |
lion which nominated him did not |
contain a single mistake. It was |
very able, and proved Campbell to |
De an able man of ability. In case
Campbell should not be available,
hen Senator German would make
IN excellent candidate. He is the
most leyel-headed, self.
'eliant man ever knew"
