serious embarrassment We are told tina,
Mr.. Carlisle has been crippled not only
politically but financially by his sacrifice
OF himself for Cleveland.
But there Is another and directly ap-
parent difficulty In McKinisy's way. The
prominent and ambitious men In his party
do not care TO risk their own with Nc
Kinicy's future. Troubles thick as the
provorbiai leaves In valiambrosa are loom
ing up before the incoming Administration.
Shrewd political observers see only disap-
polntment ahead Of the masses and the
big chiefs do not care to become too closely
identified with the almost certain failure
OF the Mckinley regime. These are the
reasons for the now growing conviction
that the major will be left TO sail the ship
OF state with a comparatively new and in
experienced erew--and the prospect might
well appal even an ADLER mariner than the
Ohio man.
