Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1895-11-05

In Kentucky by a handsome majority.
There has been quite change IN his ia
vor during the past week, and 1t now
seems that all the talk of his defeat In
the past has been the Idle vaporings Of
a handful of goldites whose wishes were
fathers to the thoughts
After much talk INDUCED In solely by
the papers Secretary Carlisle went to his
home and registered and will vote on
next Tuesday for the entire ticket. The
idea that because a citizen had no pefma-
nent place of abode that he could be
barred from registering in the precinct
H. which he last voted was deemed by
all thinking persons here as ridiculous
and it was known all along that MIR. car
Isle could and would register.
Senator Pugh Interviewed.
Senator Morgan and myself will leave
for Alabama Tuesday, said senator
Puge to the State Herald representative
today, "where we expect to make num-
Der of speeches on the financial question
to our constituents. Our appointments are
all made and we will open at Tuskaloosa
on Saturday next. We have CHOSEN TINS
time to 60 to Alabama, for now the tafm-
ers have about laid by their crops ana
have the time to attend public meetings,
and then we feared that later business
here would claim all our attention. we
haven't made any appointments III tne
larger cities of the state, as the question:
has already been discussed III t,iei,i'
and most of the public meetings held IN
cities are but hurrah meetings, anyway.
"Will there be any reorganlZatloh Vi
the senate senator?" asked the corre-
spondent ,r, 49,, sa,,aral
vacancies on the different cofninltle 9e ~
he filled and new senators to be placed,
Int no real reorganization will be erect
ed in my opinion" IN,
"What about the elections Tuesday!
'"rhere now! Whatever | said would
simply be a prediction and so sure as
answered your query the Montgomery
Advertiser would come out in flaming
headlines with ''Pugh a prophet-Pugh
nrophesied once before that cleveland
would not be nominated and If nominated
would fail of election-Pugh prophet
And speaking of that prediction OF mlhe
| tell you that at that time there was
no man on this side of the capitol, except
Senator Villas, who thought different than
| did Mr. Carlisle and Mr.. Mllls saiu
in the cloak room three days before the
Chicago convention that Mr.. Cleveland s
nomination would not and must not oc-
cur. and both of them went to chicago
TO work for Morrison. After Mr.. CleVe-
lands nomination month AFTER Hohtn
went by and things dragged along ana
1t was not until Mr.. Cleveland acceded
to Mr. Whitney's plans that Hill ana
Murphy should run the campaign IN new
York before Mr.. Whitney would nave
anything to do with the national
campaign and enthusiasm was started
Again. the Advertiser charges that at
E1ifaula. I said in a speech that the state
would not go for Mr.. Cleveland when II
is on record that l wired Mr. Whitney
from birmingham, having gone to Ala
bama at his request, that Alabama would
give Mr.. Cleveland 10000 majority. NO,
| will not make any prediction about the
hut II 60 W
the result in Maryland depends democra :
cy's life almost. The eight electoral
votes in 1896 would not count for much,
but the effect of defeat now would be
felt in nearly every democratic state.
About my relations with Mr.. Cleve-
land, they have been, and are now, the
most friendly; / differ with him. as
have differed with nearly all the eastern
democrats for years, but we are on the
best of terms"
"What are silver's chances, senator?"
"There is talk of the silver craze, as 1t
is called, dying out. Just wait. But
realize what mountain we have to cross.
There never was such an organization as
the money power possesses, but time will
work wondrous changes. Mr.. Carlisle up
in Boston the other day by his address be-
fore a millionaire's club started the ball
rolling for a further contraction of the
currency by the retirement of the green
backs. i tell you the BOlu DdSlS Will HOT
stand a years test unless the greenbacks
are withdrawn. 1t is to be the browning
step to follow the demonstration of sill
YER This country cannot exist without
hhe use of both silver and gold as money
of redemption"
What will be done by congress to
make up the deficiency"
II do not know. 1 am inclined to favor
anything Mr.. Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle
may suggest. I understand they will
recommend an increase of 81 barrel on
beer / think that could be DONE
what about Mr.. Shermans book?"
"Well, I have only read the newspaper
accounts of it, but it has created quite a
stir and has effectually killed Plat.
Sherman is well thought of by the repub-
licans, especially the intelligent class of
republicans, and his memoirs will have a
great effect"
