WHAT WILL MIR. CARLISLE DOp

The democrats of the Kentucky legiS- lature who abide by the caucus and obey the command of the regularly constituted democracy have addressed to Mir. Car lisle a request that he will use his infiu- ence to induce those few democrats who have been throwing away their votes for him and against MT. Blackburn to stop their obstructive policy and to vote for the caucus nominee. We do not know what response MT. Carlisle will make to such request, but we know what his mouthpiece the Louisville Courier-Jour- nal, thinks of it. That paper, once so hononed as a democratic leader now ex- cuses, apologies for and applauds the re- calcitrant democrats who could have elected MT. Blackburn and who refuse to do so because he Is not a gold mono metallist. That paper says:
 If he (Blackburn) is unable to change his views of twenty years ago on the sll- yer question, in accordance with the changed conditions of that question, and if he insists on being elected to the sen- ate as representative of the democratic party, let him sign paper declaring that whatever his personal opinions may be. he will sink them in his putRAe capacity and actually represent his party In the senate voting against all propositions for the independent and unlimited free coin age of silver and bending his efforts to aid in maintaining the democratic sound money policy as so ably thus far main tained by Secretary Carlisle.
 This is the least he can do in asking Mr. Carlisle or other sound money demo- crats to help return him to the senate"
 The cheek of the Courier-Journal is wonderful If the democrats of the Ken lucky legislature do not represent the views of the party in that state on the money question, we would like to know how they were selected and elected by the people. The people knew the senti- ment of the men for whom they were voting. MT. Blackburn had stumped the state and these men were elected as his friends and the advocates of free silver. There was but handful of sound mon- ey'' democrats returned to the legisla- ture. The traitorous democrats who re- fuse to abide by the voice of the caucus do so upon the allegation that MT. Black burn repudiated the platform and that such fact warranted them in repudiating his nomination. Every one knows that the Kentucky platform is word for word the national platform and that it is sus- ceptible of two conceptions. It was in tended for anybody to stand upon, just as the platform of the last Alabama con- vention was intended for the consumption of all kinds of money democrats. It is

MIR. BROWNS MISTAKE,

 Yet He Speaks.

Troy, Feb. 1S.-(Special)- H. H. Brown of Birmingham was here at the instance of the Clarke men last night to speak The weather was cool and the enthusiasm he aroused was still cooler.
 when he began speaking there were not more than about forty people present. several counts were made all along dur ing the progress of the speech. At no tune was there found to be above Fl. Mir. broWn stated that there was but one is- sue now In Alabama and that was the money question. He stated that if thera

 This is not majority. There will be 91S votes in the convention. But they count on getting few votes from many other states. The above are simply the states from which they expect to have the entire delegations.
 It will be observed that in this list no mention is made of Virginia, from which the silver cause may safely count upon at least half of the delegates. Senator Daniel represents the people of that state and he is heart and soul for free silver Half of the convention will be 459 and 46O will control. The vote of Virginia and the scattering silver men who are sure to come in from Indiana, West Vir- ginia, Ohio and even from Pennsylvania and New York. will in all probability give the silver cause majority vote.

The effort of the Advertiser to find some paragraph in Captain Johnston's Thom- asville speech out of which to make capi- tai was real amusing.

Verify that speech Knocked the Advertiser and it's blue-eyed candidate out.

SENATOR HARRIS.

Senator Harris of Tennessee is Ia wise old man. In an interview with respect to the attitude of the Tennessee delega- ton in the national convention on silver he says: ih
 My policy would be to reflect the sen- timents of the democratic party of the state in the state convention, and through it's delegates from the state con vention in its national convention. But if they were unfortunately overEuled there, so far as am concerned, | should never abandon the struggle for silver, but should insist upon keeping the im- portance of the question before the peo- pie as one of the principles recognized as strictly within the line of democratic principles from the beginning of the sgov- ernment down to the present time. n But as a choice between the republica hs with their latitudinarian ideas of centraliza- tion, and the populists with their theories, I should feel it my duty as citizen In the choice betwten these three organiza- tions to support the democratic organi- zation, however wrong it may be upon this important. question of finance"

To our surprise the Advertiser has made no effort as yet to explain to the sound money men, who 1t is trying to lash into the support of MT. Clarke on the cry of principle where its "princi- ples'' were in 1894 while it was making war on Colonel Wyly, a sound money man, and supporting Colonel Stallings. a free silver advocate.

Before undertaking to explain for its candidate, MT. Clarke. why he was not battling for principle" when he was sup porting Senator Morgan for the senate in 1894, the Advertiser should explain to the sound money men it is now trying to drive, but who will not be driven by It, why it laid it's "principle" on the shelf in 1894 and made war on home man, sound money man. in the interest of free silver advocate.
