louisville Ky Oct 2S-This strong
hold of the Kentucky gold-standard Democ-
racy fairly outdid itself tonight If Secre-
tary Carlisle has had cause to doubt the
hospitality of his native State he may read
ily have forgotten it in the cordiality OF MS
reception here tonight. No larger crows
has turned out here during this campaign
and no more brilliant gathering has greeted
any speaker in Louisville. The extent OF
the demonstration was surprise TO even
the most enthusiastic admirers of the great
Kentuekian. The meeting was set for p.
m.. but by 6:3O o'cicc!s every one of the
450O seats had its occupant and by the
aisles foyer and wings were all full The
interior of the great structure presented
more the appearance of grand opera
night than of political demonstra ton. The
Secretary has been in this city for the past
two days preparing his address and. while
in the main it followed the arguinentative
lines of his previous speeches in this state
during the present campaign, he presented
many new points and forcible arguments
that ELECTED round after round of applause.
He made no mention of any candidate on
a national ticket by name.
The Secretary was escorted from the Gait
House to the Auditorium by the Young
Mems Democratic Sound money Club lie
was greeted with prolonged cheering when
introduced by George NJ. Davie, OF this
city The applause almost equaled
when in the course of his address he men
toned abruptly the name of President
Cleveland. Mr.. Carlisle began by stating

ing but the most unnatural and indefens-
ible political combination that ever existed
in this country. 1t began, he said by the

expect to see the day when thrift and econ.

Incidence rewarded by the distribution or
spoliation from private estates and the
United States treasury.
The result of free coinage of silver at a
ratio of 16 to 1 by the United states alone
would be- he said, first panic such as we
have never known; second, such a reduc-
ton in the purchasing power or money -
to make it Impossible for a large portion
of our population to secure the neceSsaries

of the savings deposits and insurance pol

platform referring to the courts Secre-
tary Carlisle concluded with an appeal 10
his Kentucky friends to work earnestly for
the defeat of the Chicago ticket.
There persistent calls for Col. John
r. Fellows, who was on the stage and de-
spite that gentleman's indisposition which
caused him to-day to cancel part of his
engagements TO speak, he made few
humorous remarks which sent everybody
home smiling.
Mr.. Carlisle will not vote next Tuesday,

is the last day of supplemental registration
