Candidacy and Matters Generally.


Washington, D. c., April 6.-Secretary
Carlisle has written the following letter
on the subject of his candidacy for the
presidential nomination at the Chicago
convention:
Washington, D. G., April 4, 1895.
To Charles r. Long, Esq, chairman Dem
ocratic state central committee, Louis
vile, KY:
Your favor Of March 30, in which you
say in substance that many of my friends
in Kentucky and elsewhere desire me to
become a candidate before the approach
ing national Democratic convention for
nomination for the Office Of president, and
requesting me to give some authorita-
tive or definite expression upon the sub
ject, was duly received and has been ma
turely considered. Many communications
upon the same subject and OF similar inn
port have been received from friends in
different parts of the country, and while
very grateful for these numerous expires,
sions of confidence and esteem upon the
part of my Democratic fellow citizens. j
have not been able to reach the conclu-
me to comply with their requests BY au-
thorizing them to announce me as can
didate for the presidential nomination
While | feel a profound interest in the
welfare of the party. / am much more
concerned about its declaration OF prin-
ciples than IN its selection OF candidates,
because, in my opinion, is failure or sue
cess at the election, as well aS its capacity
for useful service in the country in the
future, depends upon the position 1t
takes or omits to take upon the public
questions now engaging the attention OF
the people, and especially the questions
affecting the monetary system OF the
country and the character and amount of
| taxation to be imposed upon our citizens.
| It's position upon these and other subjects
| having beer agreed upon and clearly and
| distinctly announced, the convention
ought to have no difficulty in selecting al.
| acceptable candidate who will fairly rep
resent it's views; and, in order that its
| deliberations may be embarrassed as lit
] tie as possible by the contentious OF rival
aspirants and their friends, | thinl. my
| duty to the party will be best performed
| by declining to participate IN contest
| for the nomination. The obligations as
sumed when / accepted my present OFF,
clai pOSltlOH require me 10 uSNutS Ihy Sli-
| tire time and attention to the public in
| terests committed to my charge, and
shall continue to discharge the duties i'm
posed upon me to the best OF my ability
and in such manner as will, In my iudg-
ment, most certainly promote the true In
terests Of the country; and If In the opin-
/ ION of my fellow Democrats In Kentucky
1 my services entitle me to their COM
mendation and approval, would regard
their Endorsement of my public course al
an ample reward for the little | have been
i able to accomplish in behalf Of honest
administration and a sound financial pol
| icy. With many thanks for your kind
