 ATTALLA TO CALERA.
Birmingham state herald., 1896-03-27


 chartered monster, which lives in a web spun by some yenal legislature of a blue grass long ago. For years the better and
 more honest element has tried in court
 and out to tear down the web and crush the lottery. Carlisle has been the lottery attorney from the first He has succeeded in pre-
 serving it in it's blood sucking. When Cleveland was first president Carlisle was speaker of the house. It was then Cleveland adopted him for his own. Cleveland practically made up the committee on ways and means and that of coinage in that congress, just as he
 did in the last. He found Carlisle yield ing, pliant, malleable. Carlisle had been for silver; Cleveland made him for gold.
 Since 1888 Cleveland has practically dom
 mated Carlisle and furnished him his side of every issue.
 There has been but one short space
 theef first hix months of 1892-when Car
 lsle was beyond the Cleveland influence. German took possession of him. Carlisle
 wanted to be president then, just as he wants to be president now. He will neY-
 CT succeed in his ambition; but he will not believe this, and is consumed with
 the flames of White House fever now. German worked on this hope of Car lisle. He urged him to become a candi- date and take Kentuckys delegation at Chicago. For space Carlisle listened to llie enlIDSeiI IneTely lTylHS to use Carlise in his own plans for pres idency. Under Germans suggestion Carlisle published an interview in March, 1892, saying Cleveland. while a good man,
 would be bad candidate. AS late as convention day at Chicago Carlisle was
 urging Representative Fithian to see that Illinois cast it's vote for Colonel Morri- son in the convention "If you will hold Illinois solid for, Morri- son." said Carlisle to Fithian, we can
 beat this fellow ClevelanD yet
 But Illinois was not held solid for Nor rison. Cleveland was named and elected, and Carlisle crept to a portfolio in his cabinet He has not been bad officer Nor would proper blame be his if he had. Cleveland has directed every syllable
 Carlisle ever uttered; commanded every
 word move he has ever made; framed
 every policy of finance he has ever full
 minated since he has served as secretary
 of the treasury. Cleveland will control
 to the end.
 As a matter of fact it is probably true
 that so far as this administration is pow
 erful in the next convention it will do
 what it may to give Carlisle presiden
 tial nomination. It will be vain and
 empty should he get 1t, or it will be good
 fortune to him should he fail. Were the
 chances of the democracy at all roseate
 it is the opinion of experts that Carlisle
 would be very much retired by folks now
 noisily his fuglemen.
 It is the outlook that March 4. 1897, will
 find Carlisle out of office and into private
 life. He has no riches. for while others
 have made millions over Carlisle, just as
 one kills birds over pointer Carlisle,
 like the pointer, was never helped or en-
 riched thereby. What will he do to de-
 feat the wolf when he leaves the cabi-
 net? He will be-so say the wise men of
 board and bourse-the general attor- ney of the sugar trust A. H. l.. ~

clan after physician and resorted to kidney
remedies and various patent medicines, each

speedy cure. 1t was all, however, of little
