KENTUCKY POLITICS
Secretary Carlisle to Stop to
The Arena.
SENATOR BLACKBURN TO OPPOSE HIM.
Everything In Progress. Looking to Open
Ing One of the Most Memorable
Campaigns In the History of
the Blue Grass State.

FRANKFoRT, KY, March 30--The
Kentucky democrats are not waiting to
see what course the president may pur-
national monetary conference before
taking sides on the present aspect OF
the silver question, but are already
dividing on the line of free coinage and
preparing for q most energetic state
campaign. Their convention for NOM
mating full state ticket will be held
at Louisville in June, and although
there are local issues of enough impor-
tance to occupy them, and although
the republicans will endeavor to hold
them down to the local issues, the one
overshadowing national issue ID certain
to receive very great deal of atten-
ton at their hands, both before and
after the convention. Not improbably,
indeed, the complexion of the ticket
itself may depend upon the expression
as to silver embodied in the platform
adopted.
Unusual interest attaches to this con-
test by reason of the probable partici-
patton In it of Secretary Carlisle.
The matter has been made the subject
of a good deal Of discussion in the Ken
lucky newspapers, and now. as the
time draws near for a decision to be
reached, Mr.. Carlisle is being pressed
to accept an invitation for an early ap-
pearance in the arena. There is hope
that he may be able to improve an op-
portunity to be afforded him about the
,,,;ll1c - xr,ha r-,1l1y ~ tho
democratic clubs of Louisville will take
place, and when he could address him
self to the whole political question,
state and national. An invitation to
attend this meeting is now in his hands
and if he decides to accept it his deliv-
erance on the occasion will attract
national attention. Some of the time
will have to be given to the financial
question, and this portion of the ad-
dress. will, of course, be accepted as
the voice of the administration calling
democrats to duty.
The Kentucky democracy is split In
twain on the silver question, and more
feeling exists than has ever appeared
in factional strife in the blue grass
state before. The anti-free coinage
sentiment is voiced by Secretary Car
Isle, Senator Lindsay and Henry Wat
terson. They are ticketed as gold
bugs and as the mouthpieces of Wall
street. Behind them are the CONNER
cial bodies Of the towns and cities, the
capitalists here and there engaged in
developing the resources of the state
and business men generally. This
faction is strong in talent and political
experience.
The kentucky republicans, full of
confidence this year, will take the first
go. They will meet In May and make
their nomination and adopt their plat
form. AS far as possible they will
keep local issues to the front.

holders Promiscuously.

WILMINGTON, n. c., March 30.-The
police board, consisting of five men,
bers, of which four are republicans and
one populist, organized yesterday.

up, though quite number of positions
were given to democrats, among them
chief and assistant chief of the fire de-
partment, superintendent of health and
the secretary of the police board. The
chief of police is a populist. The cap
tain and three out of four sergeants

populists and republicans, including
four negroes.
The board of aldermen, consisting of
eight democrats and two republicans,
and the board of audit and finance,
composed entirely of democrats, hold
