ton which that state will send to the
next democratic National convention
The program as to the stump speech
es can be carried out easy enough.
but when il comes to controlling the
delegation Secretary Herbert is likely
to find that Senator Morgan will have
something to say about il. Senator
Morgan Is red hot silver man and
he knows more about the inside
tricks OF Alabama politics than Her
/ bert will ever know. Still, it is
probable that Herbert's missionary
efforts in Alabama will be quite as
| productive of results as those Of Hoke
Smith in Georgia.
! Secretary Carlisle returned from
Buzzard's BAY this week, but no one
seems to know whether the ten days
| he spent there were devoted to the
study of aetings with Joe Jefferson
for teacher. or to discussing finance
with Mr.. Cleveland between nibbles
and rebaiting One thing can be
stated on the authority of one OF Mr..
Carlisle's personal friends, and that is
that Mr. Cleveland did not say that
he would not be a candidate for an
other nomination, although it would
have greatly pleased Mr.. Carlisle for
him to have done so, as that would
have given him chance to feel the
democratic pulse as to his own boom,
in little more direct manner than
he feels at liberty to do under present
circumstances. Secretary Carlisle
isn't the only prominent democrat
who feels resentful towards Mr.
Cleveland because of his continued
silence on the subject of 4 third term.
0f course, these men do not speak
their resentment openly, but some of
their friends do; that's how its ex-
istence is known.

himself into notoriety while a mem
Der Of the House, and who at the ex-
piration Of the last Congress was APP
pointed one Of the Judges Of the new
Federal Court in Indian Territory,
has had serious charges filed against
him by a LAWYER named Davis who
practices before him. The first
charge is that Kilgore lacks the legal
knowledge a Judge ought to have
which doubtless agrees with the opin-
ion Of many Of those who served in
Congress with him. He was next
charged with originating some mex
eusable methods Of court procedure,
and with paving a lawyer named Edy
for legal advice given the conrt by
throwing judicial favors in his way
and allowing him exorbitant fees for
what he does. The department OF
justice has forwarded a copy of the
charges to Kilgore and asked him for
an explanation.
1t seems little hard that along
