Carlisle and Morrison.
Secretary Carlisle Is In certain sense a
candidate for the presidential nomination
and In u sense no has the support of th,
administration. But it would not DO true
to say that he Is 1.-THE" administration
candidate. II by that Is meant that tn,
whole power Of the government is to bC
used to bring about his success. The truth
Is that Mr.. Carlisle was put forward as
possible nominee more in the hope that his
appearance In the field would strengthen
the sound money cause than through any
belief that no could be nominated. Before
entering Mr.. Cieveland's cabinet Mr. Car
Isle was In close touch with tho free silver
people Though not very much of froo
silver man himself at any time. no was n
member OF their ranks In n conservative
way, and his friends in public life, and a
majority of his admirers in private life, were
In the states which now seek to have silver
made the cardinal principle OF Democracy.
Therefore 10 was believed that, as a presi-
Dental candidate, Mr.. Carlisle might help
to hold up the hands of the men who are
struggling for antisilver delegates from
the southern states
Morrison Not For Free silver.
There was n special reason why Mr.. Car
isles name should be intorjecled d the
canvass. Colonel William II. Morrison OF
Illinois Is the most prominent oandi-
in tho western and southern section of the
country. Morrison and Carlisle huvo much
the same standing. They have been fast
friends. personally and politically TlciI
political friendship is at an end but their
personal relations arc az pleasant rs over.
They have belonged to the same ootor!o-
that Is, the friends OF one have in innu.ner.
able instances been the friends of tho other.
Colonel Morrison Is not FREQ silver man.
His personal belief is that free coinage by
this country alone would bo dangerous.
But he Is satisfactory TO the silver mon, in
a measure, because it Is understood among
them that IL Mr.. Morrison wero nominated
for president and elected he would not veto
a silver bill In case one were passed by the
Mr.. Morrison declines TO sav

Morrison, as an old fashioned Democrat,

Another reason why Mr. Morrison is not |
opposed by the silver men is because no is |

louise he would not sell bonds to maintain |
he gold reserve unless no were expressly |

'ords, IL he were president no would as.

0 explicitly; that at any rate the respon-
lbility rests upon the congress and mot
pom the president, whose duty it is simply

reate them. OF course any one can see
hat the result OF such policy would be.
the gold reserve were attacked by the |
zporters, and congress refused to direct

would disappear altogether, and the
ountry would go to silver basis. As
ing as the free silver men have control OF

'me time to come, no such authorization
'uld be carried through congress.
For these reasons tho administration is
specially dcsirous of defeating tho nomi.
