Carlisle." No outing was ever productive of more effective results than that of Secretary Carlisle to Kentucky and the Memphis convention. The silverites, including Blackburn, attributed their dufeat to the recent speeches of Carlisle and the circulation that was glven them. The free coinage men do nol deny that they expected to control the convention and all its committees, platform and nominations They fought ganiely to a finish, and acknowledge their defeat, although they make charges about the way it was done, especially on the part of Auditor of State Norman and others at Frankfort.
