Now It is for Instructions for Local
Presidential Candidates.
GOV. BRADLEY WILL Be INDORSED
Silver Democrats Will Make a
Fight on Carlisle.
A sHREwD SUGGESTION

The scrap for a senatorship is no sooner
over in Kentucky than scrap for instruc-
tlons for local candidates for the presi-
dency begins. The friends of Gov. Bradley
in the one party, and the friends Of Mr..
Carlisle in the other, are now in the field
preparing to move in the republican state
convention and the democratic state con-
vention, respectively. for Endorsement Of
those two gentlemen for presidential hon.
OrS.
Gov. Bradley VIII BE Indorsed.
The republican convention will meet next
month. The belief in Kentucky circles Is
that Gov Bradley's friends will easily con-
troll it. Mckinley sentiment In the state
is strong, but 1t probably will not object
in the circumstances to the paying Of a
compliment to the governor, who is under
sharp democratic fire just now for hts
order calling out the militia to keep peace
at the state house last Monday. The re-
public ans of the state uphold the order.
and the governors friends insist that the
proper way to make the fact known will
be to give him the Endorsement asked for.
Many of them are Mckinley men in the
serious aspect Of the presidential case, and
will probably see to 1t that the Ohio man
comes into his own in good time for all
practical purposes.
The Fight on Carlisle:
The democratic convention has not been
called. and 1t may not be until late. The
feeling between the sound money faction
and the silver faction is represented as be-
ing very bitter, and couple of months time
Is recommended In which to enable it to
change for the better. Still, there is fear
that no length of time will serve that end
The whole fight will center on Mr.. Carlisle.
Instructions for nobody else will be pro-
posed. The silver men have no candidate,
but they are organizing to oppose Mr.. Car
lisle with all the power they possess Two
dictments are to be brought against him
First. that he changed his financial views
ana Is now an advocate of the Sherman
policy; and, second. that in showing sym
pathy with the bolters at Frankfort in the
senatorial fight he forfeited all claim to
organized party support.
The Two Factions.
The slate of the silver men for delegates
at-larse to Chicago is composed of ex-Goy.
Brown, ex-Gcv. Knott, Gen. P Wat Hardin
ana ex-Consressman Ellis. They are all
men OF experience. and ex-Gov Brown is
an orator of very great power.
The program in detail OF the sound money
men men is not yet announced. They concede

cares to go to Chicago as a delegate, State
pride will of course be strongly appealed to.
The democracy of the state will be asked
to support one Of their own number and a

ident and certain of his support How far
this may go to mollify the silver men is a
problem.
Suggestion as to Carlisle.
There is a suggestion that Mr.. Carlisle
be invited to attend the convention not in
the capacity of a delegate. but as a dis
tngu.shed citizen of the state, and deliver
an address on the issues Of the day. His
attendance, it is believed, would add very
greatly to the interest of the meeting, and
his address might present matters in a light
that would make existing differences the
more more easy of adjustment The fact is
recalled that his addresses in the state last
year were productive of great good to the
sound money cause. and one delivered this
spring in good time might influence the
situation not only in Kentucky. but else
where: It is thought to be certain that If
Mr.. Carlisle cannot go in person he will
