FREQUENTLY LAST EVENING.
He Makes n Speech to n Big Audi-
ence Mt Louisville, and Has a
Great ReceDtiOn-The Egg Throw
ing Made to Serve Purpose.

LOUISVILLE. KY, Oct. 2S.-Secretary
of the Treasury John G. Carlisle spoke
tonight at Louisville. the stronghold of
the gold standard Democrats of Ken
lucky. He spoke in the Auditorium the
largest building in the city, and the audi
ence which listened TO the distinguished
Kentuckian was even greater than that
which assembled to do honor to Palmer
and Buckner when they were notified of
their nominations last month.
The Auditorium seats nearly 4,500. and
every seat was taken before Z o'clock. At
S O'Clock, every aisle and doorway was
damned, and there were about 1000 people
in the building, which was beautifully
decorated with the national colors.
One of the features of the evening was
the parade Of the non-DartiSan Sound
Money club, the members of which oc-
cuDied seats on the stage.
Colonel John r. Fellows, of New York
who was taken i'll here last night, oc-
cupied a box.
Mr. Carlisle arrived at the Auditorium
at 8 O'Clock. accompanied by George NJ.
Davis, chairman of the Democratic ma
tional committee. His appearance on the
stage was the signal for an outburst of
applause. which continued for five min
utes, with every man in the audience on
his feet waving flag or handkerchief.
Mr.. Carlisle was very much affected by
the greeting he received and his handker-
chief went to his eyes more than once.
Mr.. Carlisle was introduced by Mr..
Davie.
Mr. Carlisle was listened to with the
most respectful attention. There was not
the slightest attempt at disorder. Speak
ing of the Chicago platforms denuncia-
ton of the supreme court, Mr.. Carlisle
said that it was better to have an al
powerful congress and president than to
have a corrupt court. He said that
SHOULD a dishonest administration come
into power, it could never be displaced as
it could so use patronage that it could
hold on despite all patriotic people could
do. As far as himself, he was an
try first and party afterward. The root
Of all the present evil, Mr. Carlisle said,
was the vicious legal tender paper known
as treasury notes, which would be sue
ceeded by streams Of gold Should they be
retired.
Mr.. Carlisle said he had been accused
Of being unfriendiy to silver; but he
would say that if everybody was as
friendly to silver as the secretary of
the treasury, there would be far more
silver IN circulation than there it at
present. He said that the treasury was
continually paying freight on silver TO
distant points; but II kept coming back.
and could not be gotten rid Of Mr..
Carlisle closed by appealing to all good
citizens to vote for honest government
and a sound currency. When the secre-
tary took a seat, amid great applause,
there were loud yells for Colonel Fell
lows. who came to the front and made
a few remarks. He referred to the Cow
ington egging, by saying that the ma
iority of the people thought the Lord
intended eggs for food, but the silverites
believed they were made for argument.
Mr. Carlisle was very much amused at
the New Workers. sally. When Colonel
Fellows had finished, he and Mr.. Carlisle
held an impromptu reception on the
stage.
