The selection of Carlisle over Randall for speaker in Washington marks a major shift in Democratic strategy and portends a possible presidential campaign focus. Editorials from multiple papers praise the move, highlight tariff reform, and promise an energetic, reform minded administration.
The Omaha Bee notes that placing John G. Carlisle in the speaker’s chair may prove a major political blunder for the Democratic party, even with aims of good government.
Analysis shows Carlisle’s caucus victory signals Republican split on revenue and protection. Carlisle’s vote total more than doubles Randall’s, while Cox’s sizable tally also opposes Randall’s protective stance. Democracy in the house leans toward free trade or revenue-only tariff, amid a national issue with Randall backed by monopolists and Carlisle seen as anti monopoly.
The Charlestown News and Courier celebrates Mr Carlisle's nomination as advancing national unity and lighter taxation. It argues a Democrat will prove tariff fairness and southern leadership in high office as conservative and fair minded as any Republican.
For the first time in memory the Democrats act with courage and principle. They defeated Mr Randall who stood for negotiation and equivocation, and nominated Mr Carlisle a tariff reformer who has never abandoned his convictions.
The election of Mr. Carlisle shows the Democratic Party stands by its convictions. It argues that under Democratic control Congress will not retreat and will present a positive policy in next year’s national contest. The piece claims the warning about alarming capital and alienating Eastern business is ended.
A dog at 2520 Pacific Street astonishes witnesses by climbing a 24 foot ladder to the roof where it comforted a frightened painter. The feat, observed during house painting, ended with the dog and painter safely back on the ground amid applause.
