APPROVING WORDS FROM BUSINESS MEN.
Ex-PosmastcI- General Thomas l. James, prcSI-
dent of the Lincoln National Bank at No. . Nnu-
dcrbiit-ave, when asked yesterday for an express
SION of opinion upon Mr.. Folgers nomination, sand
Well / am entirely out OF politics now, ana do
not care to talk about political matters However
| must say that l think the nomination OF Mr.
Foleer Is a very good one. Mr. Foger Is a very able
man, and very conscientious man, and when a
man is recommended for position by his ability
and honesty he Is pretty well recommended Isn't
Lei Asa Governor, Mr. Folger will rark with the
Governors OF the old school; With Seward, Marcy
anu Morgan / mean. That he is ii strong candidate
is evidenced from the fact that be has always run
ahead Of his ticket, and think he is a man who
will secure many votes from outside OF his party.
lie is . very popular with the people, and see
10 reason why he should not be elected by u good
majority"
At tins moment word was brought to Mr. James
that b. Platt Carpenter had been nominated for
MISUNDERSTANDING. That also is good nomi-

strengthen the ticket. In my opinion Folgcr and
Carpenter certainly ought to carry the day"

up with affairs at home, mat my opinion may not
be worth much. | am in hopes that the Republican
party will now heal up all its differences"
"Will Judge FolgeI's candidacy aid in the heal
ing process I"
Il hope So There ought TO be a disposition
among all Republicans TO acquiescc in the result Of
the nomination"
G. p. Huntington SAID, after modestly dscaiming
any knowledge of political matters d" | don't know
where we cOuld get a better man than Judge Fol

believe that he is the strongest man that could have
been put up Personally believe that he is u man
of good abilities and that he stands well in almost
every department of life. He must have very few
enemies and he has never been guilty of any tricks
