Secretary Carlisle i a canlilare for tho Democratic nomination lor Tresiilent. I am, lie says, aMe to state authoritatively what the attu.leof the rresi-lcnt is eoiieerninji tin iioniiuatioii, ami also to explain til-.' meaning of ihr can.liIacy uf Secretary Carlisle. Secretary Oimvy is n )t unl will not he a caii-'.iilate for I'n si. I. lit, an l i-x-Srcrctary Whitney is 11. r an. I will not he a canli!afe. The al:u'.alstraiiuu program is as follows: 1. To secure control of tlie convention an-1 a-lopt an anti-silver plat form. '2. To nominate Secretary Carlisle if posaiMe. Ö. Taat faillnv. to u iuiinate Mr. Clevelaiul for a fourth t::;ie.

Within the last few weeks there has been a ,-. . 1 deal of newspaper talk about Mr. Carlisle's candidacy. It has been said

that the President would write a letter emphatically di clinin;,' a:;ain to permit his name ;, be iwd hi co.inec.loti wiili the nomination, and in this letter he would make Secretary Carlisle Iiis pditieal heir mid ask the D: ::i" ra:i.- party to ;;ive h'.m its up;or:. It has also be. n said that there was some friction :u tho Cabinet between Secretary of State Olney and

Secretary f tl.eTre.i ury ( ar.isle as to hr i'';;ie;:l succession, an.i .ii.it the President had par Mr. olney t one side in fav..r of Mr. Carlisle. These stories are devoid of truth. The Preside:!: will :; -r dec'.ine .a renomination if i: is ufiered t- him with substantial unanimity. He docs not propose to rnt. r into any scramble for the honor. r t use any .f tlie e:ior.n us Federal iatroiiace a: his disposal to brine it about. If. however, v.lirn the delec.ttes meet at Cklca.o it shall be the opinion of a majority uf them that he is the strongest candidate, and tiie platform is a declaration in favor of sound inuney and the principles of tariff reform to which tho Democratic party tands pledged, Mr. Cleveland will not decline the honor. In tlie meantime the President will not publicly proclaim Iiis position, not will ae write any letter eiilu r announcing himself as a candidate or declinin;; to allow Iiis n.uue to ' before the convention. There will lu no change in his pisition. He will simply permit matters to drift and .issuine shape without active interference frwiii him.

Dattie of Little Dallots. Municipal elections were held Tuesday in Illinois. Michigan. Wisconsin, Ohio. Kansas. Nebraska and Missouri. In the city of Chicago about r.n per cent of the total vote was polled. In tlie aldcrnianic elections party lines were eeiierally disre:;arhd. A bitter tivrh; was w aired toprevent tin- re-election of bo die aldermen, and regardless party the Civic Federation and the Municipal Voters Lea;rue indorsed thirty-three men. candidates in 1 wenty-seveti w.inls.

Sprinulicld Republicans elected six out of seven al.b'rmen. and in the township elections throughout Sangamon County the Republicans retained their majority in County Hoards of Supervisors. In Milwaukee all of the candidates on the Republican city ticket were elected, but the Democrats made larp ja ins. The most noticeable feature of the election, which passed off piietly, was the heavy Populist vote which was cast. Eiirhtyseven precincts show '..1M votes for Henry Smith, the Populist candidate for

Mayor. This is double the total vote east by the party two years a:: . In the State at larce R. D. Marshal is re-elected associate justice of the Supreme Court.
