Carlisle's majority 70S.
Carlisle's explanation.
Mr. Carlisle was visited to-night by a
representative of the Associated Press,
w:io ashed him what in his opinion was
the cause of the comparatively small
majority received bv him at tbe recent
election. He said: “If the vote against
me last Tuesday had been larger than the
vote against me heretofore, some signifi
cance might be attached to it. Such,
however, is not the fact, Two yeats
am my opponent received 9,825 votes
r nearl i if not quite twice
as manv as were oast against me Tuesday,
and vt f two years ago ray majority was
pearly 8.000." i< it had been generally
; u , -i and that the opposition to me really
amounted to anything I think my majority
at this election would have been 6,000 or
;,nw. Outside of the cities and the towns
adjacent to them it was scarcely known
tuat 1 had an opponent, and even in the
cities aid towns my friendsattaohed very
ii: lie importance to the opposition. They
were thrown off their guard by the fact
that several times heretofore candidates
bad announced themselves in ooposition
and hail received a verv small vote. They
supposed it would be the same way this
time, and therefore gave scarcely any at
tention to the election.”
the tariff not the cause.
Being asked if his views on tbe tarifl
affected the vote to any extent, Mr. Car
lisle rep! led: “The tariff question bad no
more influence upon the vote this time
than it has had at any previous election
in this district. There are always
a few men who vote against me on ac
count of my advocacy of revenue reform,
and 1 presume they did so at the recent
election, but 1 have no reason to believe
that the number was greater than usual.
This Congressional district is over
whelmingly in favor of revision of the
tariff and a reduction of taxation and
no man who openly takes the opposite
grouud could be elected on any ticket.
Ut course a systematic attempt will be
made to show that the losses sustained
by the Democratic party at the recent
elections are due to its nosition on the tar
iff question, butacarelul examination of
returns will prove that there is no foun
dation for such a conclusion. The losses
are by no means confined to States or dis
tricts whose Representatives voted to
consider the tariff hill at the last session of
Congress, and there is nothing in the re
sult to discourage the advocates ot re
vision and reduction.
MANY CAUSES.
“Many causes are contributed to the
defeat ol our candidates in different locali
ties. Some oi tdese causes were local and
some general. It is too early to attempt
to enumerate them, but 1 think it is sate
to say that local causes have contributed
tar more to produce the result than gen
eral ones. At any rate there Is no just
fause for alarm or despondency. The
Democratic party has survived many de
feats which would have been latal to any
ntuer political organization, and this lit
tle repulse will only stimulate to greater
exertions in the luture. We need not
surrender our principle or abandon any
policy heretofore announced, but we
must prepare to meet our opponents
oi enlv and manfully on every issue that
divides the two parties.”

Each Party Claiming; the Governor
norsliip by a Good Majority.
St. Paul, Minn., Nov. s.—Returns
have not been received from all the coun
ties. and both parties ory fraud. The Pio
neer Press, Rep., claims the State for
Governor by 2.000. The Globe, Dem.,
claims It for Amos by 6,000 to 7,000. These
figures correspond closely to the claims
of the Republican and Democratic com
mittees. The majorities for Congress
men are: First district, Wilson, Dem.,
4,081; Second, Lind, Rep., 7,385; Third,
McDonald, Dem., 1.228; Fourth, Rice,
Dem., 4,005; Fifth, Nelson, Rep., 20,000.
The latter had no opposition. The Legis
lature will be Republican by at least 40
majority on joint ballot.
Prospects of a protracted contest and
possible litigation are looming up un
pleasantly. An evening dispatch has tho
following summary: 40 complete coun
ties give McGill 8,205 and Ames 17,853.
26 nearly complete counties give Mc-
Gill 9,406, und Ames 8,001; 15 only
meagrely reported give McGill 1,280, and
Ames 97. This puts Ames in the lead by
1,560. At the Ptoueer Press office it is
claimed that the official returns to-day
have increased tho majority ot 2,532 it
had figured out for McGill so that his
majority now stands about 8,000. This is
on the basis of official returns from 40
counties and comprehensive, but not
complete, return's from all the others.
California’s Delegation.
Chicago, Nov. 5.—A special from San

HKIIR SMOLKA’S SPEECH.
Pksth, Nov. 6.— The members of the
Ministry disavow President Smolka’s
speech iu the Austrian delegation yester
day. It is reported that in consequence
of "the speech of Herr Smolka the Em
peror considered it necessary to redraft

Hungarian Foreign Minister, in answer
to inquiries from the Austrian delegates,
said that he disapproved ot Herr Smolka’s
speech.
The Vienna Tagßblatt says President
Smolka, with patriotic intention to sup
port the war credit, described tho situa

says It is convinced that Count lvalnoky
will represent matters before the delega

GLADSTONE DENOUNCED.
Lord Rraboiirne Makes a Bitter Al
lusions to the Ex-Premier.
London, Nov. 5. —Lord Brabourne,
writing to the editor of Blackwood’s
Magazine, accuses Mr. Gladstone of seri
ous misstatements and perversions ol
Irish history without the courage to de
fend or the candor to withdraw them,
Mr. Chaplin, Conservative, in a speech
at liadcliffe last evening, said it had been
stated that he was a Tory in revolt, but
with the exception of the closure scheme
thought the party would indorse all of
Lord Randolph Churchill’s proposals. He
hoped the government would leave the
closure scheme an open question. No
body could be blamed for assuming from
Lord Randolph Churchill’s language
that he intended closure by a bare ma
jority, which, declared tho speaker, was
incompatible with that freedom of debate
which had been a cherished principle in
the British Parliament for 600 years.
Nothing had occurred since 1882 to war
rant suen complete conversion. If closure
by a bare majority, was adopted, the first
thing the Liberals would do when they
returned to power would be to force the
home rule measure through Parliament.

tation, and it was owing to this that three
ex-Muyors and a number of the present
Board of Aldermen went on bis bail bond.
It had always been known that Carlisie’a
domestic relations were not pleasant.
Many believed him to be
Innocent of tho horrible crime

cnarge out ol whole cloth. Bis daughter
was placed on tbe stand this afternoon,

questions, and it was only alter being
threatened with arrest by the court that
she reluoiautly, under oato, gave most
damaging and revolting tustlmany agaiust
her lather, tno details of which created a
profound sensation. Public opinion seems
to have set in strongly against the pris
oner, who will be examined to-morrow.
