Well, that is all right, Uncle

designate the entire eight as Dem.

are known to be "dyed in the

them is loyalty to or necessary to

While it is certain that Gen.

has obtained a leave of absence

purpose of eanvassing the State

D,sgraceful and Rufianly Conduct

No more outrageous and dis
graceful incident ever occurred in
the history Of political parties in
in this or any other country, than
that TO which Secretary Carlisle
was subjected at his home in Gov
ingtou, KY, last week, while at
tempting to make q public address
on the political, financial and 9th.
er issues of the day, in a hall rent.
ed by his friends for that purpose.
The English language does not
contain words sufficiently forcible
to express our condemnation of
such an "hoodlumistic" proceeding
and We dismiss it With the re.
mark, that any cause must be
weak indeed, which is compelled
to resort to such disgraceful tao
tics, in order to curtail the God
given and inalienable American
right of freedom Of speech and pro-
vent a distinguished citizen of
the State and official of the Fed.
eral government from expressing
his sentiments upon the most i'm.
portant issue now distracting the
minds of the people of this coun-
try. The discourtesy shown to
the Federal Secretary of the Treas
ury cannot be condoned, nor is
there any possible excuse or justi-
fcation for hoodlums to throw
stale eggs into an audience Of re.
spectability, which, when coming
in contact with the ceiling or chan.
deliers, necessarily break and
scatter their offensive and reeking
contents upon the audience, ladies
not even excepted.
1t is, however, but the logical
outgrowth of the demagogic ap
peals which have been made by
interested political leaders and
partisan journals to the baser pas
sions of the people, which have
had the effect of still further in.
tensifying and iufamiDg their la
tent prejudices against what is
popularity denomiuated the pluto
cratic class or in plain English, OF
arrSying labor against capital and
causing the "horny handed sons Of
toll" to believe that the monied
men Of the country have entered
into conspiracy to Cypress and
keep them in a state of perpetual
subsection and thralldom.
Such a brutal and ruffisnly ex
bibition of political partisanshiE
will recoil with the force of q
"boomerang" upon the heads o.
those whose interest it WAS intend
ed to subserve.
