who are expected to vote for Bryan but the un-
known quantity Of Honest Money Democrats VINO

stead Of Palmer and Buckner is the element OF
doubt In all estimates.
II is believed that f. W. Tunnel the Democratic

King Oscar is not only Il ruler whose

of especial advantage in the present arbi

WILL BLACKBURN SHOOT?
Some Think His Quarrel with Logan Car
Isle May Have II Fatal Ending.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The Worlds
Washington correspondent says:
The enmity between Senator Blackburn
of Kentucky and Logan Carlisle, chief
clerk of the treasury department and son
of the secretary of the treasury has at
length reached the point where the friends
of both men are seriously discussing the
probability of an armed encounter the first
time they meet. Tho haunts of both men
are the same, and it is almost certain that
within few days they will be brought
face to face. What the outcome will then
be is what southcrners and Washington
people generally are trying to decide.
Senator Blackburn is man of fiery
temper and speech and is easily moved to
threats of death and destruction So far,
however, all the disasters predicted by him
have been happily averted. Logan Carlisle
is quiet, phlcgmatic young man, of slow,
deliberate speech and even temper His
hatred of Blackburn, however, is of the
steady, glowing order that with provoca-
tion may stir him to violent action.
The feud between the Blackburns and
Carlisles is an old one, and their enmity
in Kentucky has burned at steady heat
since Blackburn's entrance into public
life. The campaign which has lust closed
ianned this hatred into blaze There
were incidents both in the Blue Grass
state and in Washington which singled
out Blackburn and Logan Carlisle us per
sonal and political enemies
Throughout his tour of the state Senator
Blackburn constantly referred to Secretary
Carlisle in an insulting and contemptuous
manner.
At Owentown Senator Blackburn said
among other things, 1.-The people in he'll
are more entitled to be called Christians
than the people in the Indianapolis con
vention are to he called Democrats. " Dur
ing this speech, in speaking of the bond
sales, he said:
1--WE know that Morgan &, Co. got few
millions Of the money but who got the
balance? l don't say Carlisle got it, but
