4 LETTER FROM CARLISLE.

The Secretary 0f the Tressary Gives Hle Views on the Presideacy. WASHINGTON, April 6-Secretary Carlisle has written the following let ter on the subject of his candidacy for
 the presidential nomination at the Chicago convention:
 WASHINGTON, Dl C., April {, lse6 Charles R. Long, Chairman Democratic State Central Committee. Ky.
 Dear Sir: Your favor of March 90, ia which you soy in substance that many of my rrtends In Kentucky and elsewhere desire me to be- come Q candidate before the approaching na- tional democratic convention for nomination to the office Of president and requesting me to give some authoritative or definite ex press- lon upon the subject has been materially oou- sidered.
 Many communications upox the same subject and similar import have been received from
 friends in different parts of the country, and
 while very grateful for rbese numerous ex-
 pressions of confidence and esteem upon the
 part of my democratic fellow citizens have
 not been able to reach the conclusion that the
 existing conditions require me to comply with their requests by autharizing them to an- nounce me as candidate for the presidential
 nomination
 While fcel . profound interest in the wel- fare Of my party, am much more concerned tUOuL tta QcCtaFHLiOu oI prluclptrs than ttS
 selection of ofcandidates. because. inm my opinion. It's failure or success Ut the election. as well as It's capacity for useful service in the country In the future, depends upon the position 1t takes or oznits 10 take upon the public ,ques- tions now engaging the attention of the people, and especially the questions affecting the monetary sysbcm of the country anditbc char actcr and amount of taxation to be imposed upon our citizens. Its position uponthese and other subjects having been ngreed upon, and clearly and distinctly announced, the conven- tfon ought to have no difficulty in selecting an acceptable candidwte who will fairly repre- sent its views, and in order thgtit delibera- tions may be embarrsssed4ax little as possible by the contentious of rival aspirants and their friends, l think my duty tU the party will be best performed by declining to participate in contest for she nomination.
 The obligations assumed whonI accepted my present o<1icial position require me to devote my entire time and attention to the public h. terests committed to my charge. and I shall continue to discharge the duties imposed upon me to the best of my ability. and in such man. ner as will in my judgment. most certainly promote the true interest of the country: and if, in the opinion of my fellow democrats of Kentucky my services entitle me to their com mendatiOn and approval, would regard their reward for tke little have been able to ac. eomplished in behalf of honest administration and sound financial policy.
 With many thanks Tor your kind letter. am. very truly yours, J. G, CARLISLE.

The Ohts Man Likely to Reach Victory on
 the First Ballot.
 WASHINGTON, April G. - The cam. paign for the republican presidential nomination has advanced so far that it seems more than probable that, unless something at present unforeseen should occur, William Mckinley, of Ohio. will enter the convention with a majority of uncontested delegates, or. ganize the convention and obtain the nomination on the first ballot. Indeed the McKinlcyites are figuring that the opposing candidates, abandoning the fight as useless, may yield the nomina- tion by exclamation. The managers of the opposing candidates, however, do not concede that there will be a nomination on the first or even the second ballot
