HIr. CarIisIe,s Position.

To the Editor of the New York Evening Post:
Sir: I notice that one OF the morning papers
includes my name in list of Democrats who,
it states, "have come out strongly for the re-
election of Nr. Mckinley, and as my position has
been frequently misrepresented in the public
press during the last few weeks, l desire TO say
that, for entirely satisfactory TO myself,
I determined long ago not to vote for either OF
the Presidential candidates This determination
has been well known to my personal friends ard
acquaintance ever since the nominations were
made and although it is a matter OF no import
ance TO anyone except myself l prefer that there
should be misunderstanding upon the subject
by the public at large. ]. C. CARLISLE.

If the King should Die.

Few things connected with the current
Presidential campaign are so well calcu-
lated to alarm the public Of this country
as the thought that, in case the trusts
should win their fight at the polls next
month, it might happen that Theodore
Roosevelt would succeed to the Chief
Magistracy through the death of Mr., Nc
Kinley.
Considering that the latter is helpIessly
under the control of the unspeakable
Hanna and the combination of monopo-
lists and hooters that Hanna represents,
Mr.. McKinley's reelection would be bad
enough. But at least, as nominal Presi-
dent, he would not be the unadulterated
affiiction that his running mate would.
There is an unpleasant story going the
rounds, TO the effect that RooseveIts
original determination to refuse the Vice
Presidential nomination at Philadelphia
was overcome by assurances from the
highest party quarter that the Republi-
can Presidential candidate was in a dan
gerous state of health, that he had to-
bacco heart, eirrhosls of the liver, some
thing the matter with his stomach, and
Bile to his kidneys. 1t is said that upon
this diagnosis and prognosis, the Rough
Rider consented to serve. STIMULATING,
however, that in case of an unfavorable
turn in the situation. he should be allowed
to resign and take the governor general
ship of the Philippine Islands.
Now we do not pretend to know anything
about Mr.. McE-inley's state of health. If
those nearest to him consider it bad, per-
haps they know whereof they speak. Po-
Htically considered, the fact will be unim-
portaRt unless the unexpected should hap
pen. and colonization, bribery, and frauds
against the suffrage in doubtful States
should make it appear or the sixth of No
vember that he has been reelected. Then
his physical condition would be matter of
prime interest to the country Then It
