CARLISLE IN THE SENATE.
New York Herald: Kentucky wisely sends her ablest representative to the Senate. It is a clear case of promotion for merit. Senator Beck has a successor worthy to fill his place.
New York World: This honor was due Mr. Carlisle by reason of his long Congressional service, his experience and his sound Democracy. While he will be sorely missed in the House he will be highly useful in the Senate. There is a splendid field there for his talents.
Philadelphia Record: Mr. Carlisle's high reputation as a statesman and economist is a source of just pride to all Americans. He is experienced, wise, capable and absolutely above suspicion of corruption or wrong-doing; and will worthily represent his State in the upper branch of Congress.
New York Press: He will come as near to filling the chair of the late Senator Beck as could any Kentuckian in public life. He is a clean man, and the brainiest the free traders have lately had in the House. He has been a party leader in Congress ever since the free trade element began to predominate, and has commanded a good deal of respect from friend and foe.
New York Times: Much has been said about Mr. Carlisle having a better field for the exercise of his ability and influence in the House than in the Senate, but that greatly depends upon the man himself. There is a great deal of very cheap statesmanship in the Senate now-a-days, and a man of aggressive force and vigor can find there an opportunity for the display of what there is in him, even though he has a rather flabby and inert body to move by his efforts.
Philadelphia Times: Mr. Carlisle is eminently fitted both by reason of natural ability and long legislative experience to grace a seat in the Senate. His election is in the line of true civil service promotion. He has served up to the Senate and was clearly entitled to the election. His election to the Senate will prove a serious loss to the House, but his district should pick out its next best man and let him serve his apprenticeship in the House preparatory to graduation to higher honors.
