fRY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRInUNr.l
Washington oct. 3:--The outrageous treat
ment which Secretary Carlisle received at MS
home In CovnRton last nigh. has aroused gen
eral and strong Indignation in Washington ana
has been a leading topic of comment To-Day
Even the Popocratic managers affect 90 deplore
it. They say however, that the outrage was
committed by "a few hoodums.' and that IL
was frowncd upon by all the respectable c'h-
Zens." Tha, sort Of excuse Is not SATISFACTORY
and is no, well received here. If any man has a
right to discuss freely and undistu'ped' hha"-
cial subjects in kentucky. he is the Secretary
of ,b. Treasury who as "A son Of that State.
has received the highes, political honors s'e
could bestow As to the political effect or 'he
disrracefu assault upon him there Is no dl-
ference of opinion in Washington All '"NeIS
of fair play. whether Democrats or l'epu'"
cans. agree that it is the las: rail in the ifoe-
silver coffin in that state
