POLITICAL BOWIE KNIFE
The Treasury Chief Draws 1t on
His Kentucky Adversary-Names
of the Unlucky BOurbOnites and
Free Silver Sympathizers-Hfs
tory of the Trouble.

1t is war to the bitter end now between
those two Kentucky favorites, Secretary
Carlisle and Senator Blackburn
Today Secretary Carlisle made the foi-
lowing dismissals in the Treasury De-
partInent:
Judge W. B. Fleming, of Kentucky, law
clerk IN the Supervising Architects or
flee, an appointee OF Senator Blackburii'

tor Blackburn; Robert L. Adams, OF Mon
tana, agent at the Seal Island, Alaska,

Ofnce, and late Democratic candidate for
Congress in the Rochester, n Y, district
and j NJ. Leach, OF North Carolina, mes
senger in the Internal Revenue Bureau,
who recently criticised Postma ster General
Wilson in newspaper letter.
THE VICTIMS.
Judge Fleming has been for many years
q leading Democratic politician and at
tOrney at Louis vile. He has been known
especially as an advocate of free silver,
and ever since the adoption OF the Chicago
platform has given much time to the
campaign.
lie wrote series of articles for free
silver papers, and during the past month
has been at home in Kentucky speaking
night and day for Bryan. He"is still III
Kentucky.
The fIgnt between Senator Blackburn on
one side and Secretary Carlisle and Senator
Lindsay on the other, began early in the
closing administration over the appointment
of a collector when Black burn thought he
had a right to name the man.
1t has increased d in bitterness ever
since, ending in the defeat OF Blackburn
before the legislature last winter.
Senator Lindsay personally has not been
very Ceinonstratiye in his opposition to
blackburn, but his followers used every
means in their power to defeat him.
Secretary Carlisle had not to the time of
the election of Bradley, the Republican can
diddte for governor, devoted much atten-
tioi to Blackburn, but since that time the
war bet ween them has been mercIless.
"A DENIAL.
When a Times representative call ed at
the Treasury Department this afternoon
with reference to the dSmissals, Secretary
Carlisle was at the Executive Man sion ill
consultation with the President, and there
fore could not he seen.
Chief Clerk Carlisle, however. was in his
office. He said there is 10 truth whatever
in The assertion that any or all OF the dis
missed clerks We're originally appointed
upon the recommendation OF ex-senator
Blackburn.
Further than this he had nothing to say.
He said it has Leen his policy ever since
his appointment to office to say nothing
with regard to his official actions, and
he would not break his rule now.
