The Administrations Attitude in
Kentucky and Maryland.
CARLISLE MAY SPEAK ONCE MORE
Pressure Being Brought by Anti
German Democrats.
THEY ASK FOR SILENCE

Secretary Carlisle pronounces absolutely
false the statement that Mr.. Whitney had
ordered kim to call off the administration
opposition to the democratic ticket in Ken
lucky, and that therefore there would be a
switch around, and all the democrats unite
for the ticket. His denial did not apply TO
the statement that all the democrats would
support the ticket, but to the reason given
for their doing so; for ne expressed the
opinion that the ticket would be elected He
would not state yet whether he was going
to make any speeches in the campaign.
Why He Delays a Promise to Speak.
It is understood that the Secretary in
tends to make some speeches, or at least
one, for the ticket, but that there Is one
thing which deters him from promising at
this time to do SO. 1t Is said that he does
not yet feel safe to assume that Mr.. Har-
din, the candidate, may not in some of his
speeches make a direct personal attack
upon the administration AS long as there
Is any danger of such thing occurring, it
the campaign. 1t Is believed that he will
make a speech in Louisville toward the
close of the campaign.
BIackburn's Friends Confident.
Private information received here indi-
Gates that Senator Blackburn's friends are
perfectly confident Of his election, and that
the general belief is now that he is sure
to be reelected to the Senate unless the
democrats lose the legislature. This in
formation confirms the statement that the
administration is going to support the
ticket, both factions working together in
the general party interest.
An Embarrass ssinS Situation.
1t was a very paradoxical and embar-
~,
democrats opposing the democratic tickets
in the two border states which at their
conventions indorsed the administration
and it's foreign policy in strong terms
Kentucky and Maryland. If subsequent
events bear out the statement that the two
factions in Kentucky will work together
for the ticket. it will relieve the admin
istration from one thing that excites the
criticism Of thoroughly partisan demo-
Gratis.
Mr.. Clevelnnd's Attitude Uncertain.
There is a dispute, however, as to the at
titude Of Mr.. Cleveland toward the demo-
cratic ticket in Maryland, and 1t Is now
said that an effort will not be made there
to check the Cleveland democrats" oppo-
sition to the party ticket. How true this
may be Is uncertain.
1t Is said that in Kentucky the candidate
merely dlSagrees with Mr.. Cleveland as to
e. policy, ana eXc1teS antagOnlSm on that
account while in Maryland the opposition
is avowedly in resen tment of Mr. Germans
personal antagonism to Mr.. Cleveland. 1t Is
inferred that his personal consideration Is
more potential than would be a difference
Of policy.
Pressure by Antf-Gorman People.
1t has been intimated that Mr.. Cleveland
or some one Of his official family would
shortly find an opportunity to notify the
cleveland democrats" that Mr.. Cleveland
did not want them to resent any offense
given to him, in a way to injure the party.
Hearing that some such declaration might
be made, the anti-Gorman people at once
began to exert all the influence they had
to keep Mr.. Cleveland from interfering in
tehalf of the democratic ticket.
1t Is understood that they repeated the
arguments that were used by the anti-Hm
people at the last election in New York to
prevent Mr.. Cleveland from saying a good
word for the democratic candidate for gov
ernor. They made the plea that he ought
not to take sides against his personal
friends and supporters, even to save the
regular party ticket from defeat A great
deal Of influence has been used to procure
the silence of the administration, and it is
claimed that Mr. Cleveland will be as silent
as he was during Hills campaign.
Meanwhile, the Cleveland democrats"
make Germans lack of friendship for Mr.
Cleveland the alleged ground Of their op-
position to the ticket, and assume the atti-
tLde of defenders of Mr.. Cleveland in fol-
lowing this course.
