WASHINGTON, D. O., Oct. A, '95.
Seer etary Herbert has gone to Ala
bsma, in obedience to Mr.. Cleveland's
orders, to make stump speeches against
silver, and incidentally to look after the
dele CATION which that State will send to
next Democratic National convention.
The program as to the stump speeches
can be carried out easy enough, but
when it comes to controlling the dele
cation, Secretary Herbert is likely to
find that Senator Morgan will have
something to say about it. Senator
Morgan is red hot silver man and he
knows more about the inside tricks OF
Alabama politics than Herbert will ever
know. Still, it is probable that Herbert's
mi esionary efforts in Alabama will be
quite as productive Of results as these
of Hoke Smith in Georgia.
Secretary Carlisle returned from Buz.
Yards Bay this week, but no one seems
to know whether the ten days he spent
there were devoted to the study OF
acting, with Joe Jefferson for teacher,
or to discussing finance with Mr.. Cleve.
land 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 another nomination, although it
would have greatly pleased Mr.. Carlisle
for him to have done 80, as that would
have given him a chance to feel the
Democratic pulse az to his own boom,
in little more direct manner than he
feels at liberty to do under present cir
cumstances. Secretary Carlisle is't the
only prominent Democrat who feels
resentful towards Mr.. Cleveland because
of his continued silence on the subject
of third term. Of course, these men
do not speak their resentment openly,
but some of their friends do, that's how
its existence is known.
Ex.Congressman Kilgore, who kicked
himself into notoriety while a member
of the House, and who at the expiration
OF the last Congress was appointed one
of the judges of the new Federal Court
in Indian Territory, has had serious
charges fled against him by a lawyer
named Davis who practices before him.
The first charge is that Kilgore lacks the
legal knowledge judge ought to have,
which doubtless agrees with the opinion
of many of those who served in Congress
with him. He was next charged with
originating some inexcusable methods
of court procedure, and with paying a
lawyer named Edy for legal advice given
the court by throwing judicial favors in
his way and allowing him exorbitant
fees for what he does. The Department
of Justice has forwarded copy of thu
, charges to Kilgore, and asked him to-
an explanation.
