lngton specf- ays: Secretary Carlisle re-
turned from entucky this morning. lie
promptly gav 3rders to his acting private
secretary to say TO newspaper correspondent
that he declined to b. interviewed on the re-
suit in Kentucky. MIR. Carlisle believes that
the result speaks for itself, and carries a
politicel moral with It.
Colonel Sam Gaines. chief OF mails in the
Treasury department, who went home to vote
and returned with the SECRETARY says:
Colonel Bradley is good man. | was clerk
OF the court Of appeals of Kentucky for many
years and Colonel Bradley practiced before
the court. His ability and popularity have
not been overestmated, But with these
points in his favor he would have been 80.
00O votes short OF election had Hardin and
Blackburn not sought to override the ex-
pressed will Of the democratic party.
THE Kentucky democrats were with Sec
retary Carlisle in his opposition to free sill
yer and made their position clear in the plat
FORM and when Hardin and Blackburn went
out into the campaign and deliberately led a
revolt against the party platform they met a
defeat they deserved. Prominent democrats
told me that the time had come to get rid of
Blackburn and Hardin, and these two ir-
ritating features were promptly brushed aside
by democratic votes.
"If Hardin and Blackburn had acqulesced
in the platform and simply omitted the silver
issue from their speeches both would have
been elected"
LOUISVILLE Nov. THE returns sent
in up to this morning give Bradley a plurality
OF over 1900 and the few counties not yet
heard from, some seven or eight, including
those from which incomplete returns have
been received, are expected to swell the
figures above 1900. The result of the legis-
lature is still doubtful with chances in favor
of the republicans on Joint ballot. The pros
poets of Blackburn's return to the senate do
not look very good at present.
CINCINNATI, Nov. IA special to the
Times-Star from Lexington, KY, says that
General Hardin the defeated democratic can
didate for governor, left his home in Harrods-
burg this morning for Louisville, where he
will go into the practice of law He declined
to discuss the causes of his defeat.
LEXINGTON, Nov. THE Leader the
leading republican newspaper in Kentucky,
always a stalwart supporter of Governor Nc
Knley for the presidency, today declares for
Mckinley for president and Governor elect
Bradley for vice president. The Leader says:
"The overwhelming victory in Ohio, under
the brilliant leadership Of Mckinley Foraker
and Bushnell gives new impetus to the
presidential candidacy of William Mckinley,
and the election of William o. Bradley as
the first republican governor Kentucky has
ever had makes him vice presidential pos
sibility. Mckinley is the embodiment of the
protective tariff principle, and Bradley's cleo
tion 10 triumph for sound money.
I'm Ohio both parties were in substantial
agreement on finances, and, outside of local
questions, the Wilson-B Brce tariff bill was the
issue of the campaign. In Kentucky both
parties in convention endorsed sound money
On the stump Bradley was even more out
spoken for a gold standard than his party
platform, while Hardin openly repudated the
utterances of his party and proclaimed the
gospel of free and unlimited coinage of silver
in every speech. Mckinley and Bradley
stand for protection and honest money, the
issues upon which next years national cam
paign must be won. Mckinley and Bradley
as candidates for president and vice president
would oblterate Mason and DiXon's line from
the political map and mark the complete rec
onciliaton of the north ard south, and thus
