CINCINNATI. Oct. 2s.-Secretary
Carlisle found himself the center of
widespread attention today in conse-
quence OF the gross indignity offered
MIN during his speech on Thursday
night in Odd Fellows hall, in Coving-
ton. The first indications came In calls
from friends and neighbors, anxious to
assure him of their detestation Of the
outrage. Later, messages began to ar
rive showing that similar feeling ex-
listed IN other portions of the state. At
length, Mr.. Carlisle was obliged to
deny himself to callers to enable him
to get the rest he needed and to attend
to his correspondence
The feeling in Covington as well as
In Cincinnati, ran high, as the matter
was discussed The Cincinnati Cham
Der Of Commerce, regardless Of party,
called special meeting and appointed
a committee to give Mr. Carlisle most
urgent invitation to visit the Chamber
of Commerce before he returned to
Washington. The feeling that prompt
ed the meeting, was that the members
wanted an opportunity to show the
secretary of the treasury the high re-
gard in which he is held by the Cham
Der. In addition to this, a large dele
cation of gold Democrats from Walnut
Hills, called to- urge the secretary to
give them an address and to allow
them to testify their appreciation by
giving him a becoming hearing. To
all requests for, speeches, Mr.. Carlisle
was abliged to give a refusal, as the
ha hoc
lucky fully occupy all the time he can
spare from his public duties. Speak
ing of last nights occurrence, the sec
rotary showed. that he regarded it as
more than an accidental occurrence In
his opinion, it was an organized mob.
i did not know during my Speech"
he said. that any such thing had been
done. OF course saw the disorder in
the hall. 1t came from a lot of men
that had gathered in the rear Of the
hall. The body of the house was de-
cent and well behaved. Indeed, many
ladies were present. 1 had heard also
the noise on the street, but did not
know what it was. I did not speak to
the mob, but once, l saw 1t did no good.
L was still in ignorance of what was
going on outside the hall, though my
friends seemed to be advised Of it. They
kept OBTAINING me in various ways un-
I'll at last asked why we did not go.
Then they told me that a crowd was
gathered outside the hall, and they
were waiting till it should dispense.
When heard that, l said l was GO
ing, and we started. When got to the
door, saw the crowd there They had
been waiting purposely there all the
time. There was rush and it was
with great difficulty that we got out of
the building and along the streets.
They followed us until within a square
of Mr.. Helms house, when the police
formed a line across the street and
stopped further progress. The gather
Ing outside the hall, the following OF
those 200 or 300 men for several squares
through the streets, was not a mere
accident, it was an organized affair"
TO wish expressed that better treat
ment awaited him at the speeches he
is yet to make, he replied:
1t makes little difference to me-. It
is an illustration of what may be ex-
pected everywhere If the principles Of
the Chicago platform prevail Personal
1nd1gnity and even personal violence
will hurt those who attempt it more
than it can harm me-
The secretary left tonight, in. order
to meet his engagement at Bowling
Green, KY, tomorrow.
