prettv good, though, about the future, for
tho fact that Carlisle Is going to take the
treasury il a guarantee that the new tariff
bill will give tariff reformers satisfaction.
1t ia gratifying TO know that we have a mar
like Carlisle to help Cleveland through the
great tariff heht which will soon be upon
us. Carlisle is a great man and knows all
about the tariff and can make NO mistakes.
I predict for him a successful career in the
treasury.

Gen. Clarkson and Chairman Carter wore
here trying TO devise means OF raising
money to meet the obligations Of the re-
publican national committee that are still
unsettled. 1t is said on good authority
that both leaders have made several at

York to contribute, but met no success. III

not appear to be anxious to make any
further advances. 1t is understood that
Gen. Clarkson and Mr.. Garter have settled
q number of accounts out OF their own
pockets, with the expectation of being re-
paid. and the prospect does not appear to
them TO be very encouraging.
1--WE are having the same e1perienoe,"
said Gen. Clarkson, that Senator Brice
had in 1888. When the campaign was over
the committee was out of funds and a num-
Der of debts had accumulated, and Mr..
Brice had to pay them out of his own
pocket. The republican committee will
meet this month and the deficiency

share of the loss"

win left for Kentucky to- might. The two
ex-governors of Kentucky. in conversation
with friends here, sata that they had given
no one authority to announce them as can

said that while he would feel honored in
being elected a senator f'om Kentucky, he
would certainly not go into a campaign for
the position. Governor Knott said that he
had no ambition to again enter public life,
and was content to spend the remainde of
his days in the pursuit of happiness which
is to be found in the private walks of life,
rather than enter again into the whirl OF
politics, where there is no rest for the
wicked.
