THE KENTUCKY INFAMY.

Louisville Post (demD: Every true Ken
| tuckian, be he populist, republican, silver
or gold democrat, resents the insult to
Kentucky's most distinguished citizen, and
notices with shame the failure to punish
the few scOundrels engaged therein.
Philadelphia Press rep): The insults
to which Secretary OF the Treasury Carlisle
was subjected while trying to make speech
in Coyington. KY, on Wednesday are a
disgrace not only to that town and to the
state, but to the whole nation as well. II
is humiliating to the country when an Of
fetal occupying a leading place in the ma
tional cabinet cannot address his fellow
citizens at his own home without an at
tempt being made to boot him down and
intimidate him by throwing missiles.
indianapolis News Gnd): Kentuckians are
on their mettle. Their greatest statesman
since Clay was grossly insulted when he APP
peared to address his fellow citizens In his
native city by members OF the party to which
he has always belonged because he puts
principle above regularity; patriotism above
party. We greatly mistake or the COyng-
ton episode will give added poirt and
potency to Carlisle's argument and attitude.
The attempt to curb the freedom OF speech
always reacts upon the party or candidate
in whose favor the lawlessness Is attempted.
Globe Democrat, (rep): Popocracy Is
painting itself in its true colors in these
closing days OF It's existence The as
saut on Secretary Carlisle in Coyington,
Ky, on Friday last, the attack by stones,
eggs, and other missiles on train carrying
republican speakers in Ohio on Saturday
afternoon, and the burning of the flags and
banner of the Frisco Railroad Employees
Sound Morey club" largely composed Of
democrats, at Springfield, Mo, on Saturday
night, gives by few bold strokes Of its
own hand a more striking picture OF the
banded infamies which men call Organism
than its enemies could ever draw.
Buffalo Express (rep): The egging Of
Secretary Carlisle by popocrat hoodluma at
Covington, Ky, was a shameful act The
country has a right to expect that the lead
express condemnation Of such deeds and thus
exert their influence to prevent any re
petitions OF them So far however, we have
failed to notice the first popocrat expression
OF disapproyal On the contrary the course
OF the Bryanite leaders and organs, as the
campaign draws near a close. Is calculated
to incite such outbreaks, or even disturb
ances OF more serious character. Argu-
ment has been dropped altogether. No pre-
tense is made OF appealing to any mans
reason.
Baltimore Sun, (dem): Mr.. Carlisle
Generals Palmer and Buckner. Governor
OFerrall, Mr.. Wilson and others who have
been made the objects OF these attacks by
the followers OF Altgeld and Tillman can
afford to pass them by with indifference. or
to regard them with sorrow rather than
states and country. and bowling mObs cannot
diminish their title to consideration and
respect. But the people OF the United
States cannot afford to ignore such incidents
or to view them simply as ordinary campaign
ebulitions. They indicate spirit OF dis
order and intolerance that Is not only hos
tile to free institutions. but Is at war with
