THE CARLISLE CASE.

Secretary Carlisle has met tie
first conspicuous defeat in his re-
markable career. To the powerful
influence Of the secretary OF the
treasury was attributed the victory
for sound money" in the Gc!nC-
cratic conv 9ntion held at Louis
Vile last summer AT that ;luie
Mr.. Carlisle popularity in Ken
tucky was unquestioned. Not a
prominent candidate before the
state convention supported the
gold standard. Blackburn. Il can
didate for re election to the senate,
and Hardin, the leading candidate
for governor. We're aggressive free
silver advocates, and had the
personal support eof the best
politicians in the party. Not
withstanding Inc tremendous odds
against him, more than wothirdS
of the delegates to the state con-
ventiOn supported the currency
plank which Mir. Carlisle suggested.
Within less than Il yea the
kentucky democracy has com
pletely reversed itself on the fiuan-
cial question. 1t is now admitted
that the majority for 10 to | will he
as large at the approaching con
vention as was the majority for
sound money" when Hardin Was
nominated for governor.
If Secretary Carlisle Is entitled
to the credit for the first vi"tor?-
he must shoulder the responsibility
for the recent defeat. Political
post mortemS are sometimes ncce,
sary in order to emphasize n.i>
takes and renew warnings. II i,
SO in the ease of Carlisle Viii,
the people Of Kentucky admired
and delighted to honor their con
spicuous son, they also admired
and loved Senator Blackburn, THEN
candidate for the senate. When
Carlisle declined to give Blackhul L
an Endorsement, after caucus 81
democratic Legislators had declared
him the party nominee. the blundcl
was made which deprived til,
secretary of his immense personal
influence. Thousands of his closest
political friends resented thi.
evidence Of ingratitGde. \ fight
for the Endorsement of the admin
istration, which in Kentucky meant
the Endorsement of Carlisle, coult
