Kentucky May Send Carlisle to the Senate

Louisville, NoveInb her 7.-As soon as the
result of the election in Kentucky is
definitely known there will probably
commence some lively scram bling for
the honor of being Republican United
States senator from this state. The Re-
publican party originally had 6s mem
bers in the legislature but five were lost
by death and resignation. This loss
was more than made up by the gain Of
seven members last Tuesday. This
makes the party have 10 votes on Joint
ballot and enables them to elect Unit
ed States senator by one vote If they
solidly support the Republican nomi-
nee. Gov. Bradley and DR.. Hunter
are the lea1ing aspirants in the race.
There is, however, considerable talk
among prominent Repu blicans and gold
standard Democrats of eleoting Score
tary of the Treasury John 6. Carlisle to
the Senate in recognition of the firm
stand on the financial question by him
and the goli standard Democrats.

childhood. Il.
All Portland and the country about
knew that there was going to be great
time. As early as $50 people in the city
were abroad. and many from neigh Dor
ing cities were on their way hither.
The vicinity Of Pearl. Market, Myrtle,
Exchange and Chestnut strests-that liz
to say, the region about City hall
was the centre toward which the orga-
nizations, the people and the wheeled
vehicles directed their ways.
In this region Capt John D. Printable,
chief marshal, and his aids. began to
form the several divisions as early as Z
O'Clock. This work was done SO well
that when the great procession started,
it moved off without hitch, and with
scarcely halt.

the line numbered about 1876. and was

band, was commanded by Lieut. Frank
B. W. Weloh. The chief marshal was
with this division and had as aid Fl. b.
Way, besides his captains of divisions.
The Lincoln Club, who were the prime
movers in the celebration, had the right
of line in the second division. They
turned out upwards of 300 men carrying
banners, and transparencies. They made
very dazzling appearance. Mr.. G. l..
Tewksbury commanded them. Among
their transparencies were these LEGEND /:

Does the Argus really feel very badly
about the defeat of free silver?"
Following the Lincoln club came many
baroucbss. The first carried Governor
Cleaves, Mayor Baxter of Portland, Mayor
Mitchell of Deering and President
George Libby of the Lincoln Club.
