prominent citizens.
The first person he met up win was
Mr.. j. T.. Bigger, United states district
attorney. In response to the question
as 10 what effect Cleyeland's election
would produce upon the financial
affairs of the country no said;
"While do not yet concede Cleyelahu \

that he Is, and rs 10 the effect IL Will

Mr.. w. &. Padgitt, of the wholesale
sadd lery house of Padgitt Bros, said: ~
think his election bodies good 10 the
country in overyway. IL gives us after
many long wears u change of admins
tration, and as such n reiormer has been
elected the whole country has reason To
rejoice. Ii Is the most fortunate thing

he for the better. His administration
will be in the interest OF retrenchment
aud reform and that he will give us II
government that all honest men ap-
prove. He Is the man l take IL that Will
administer the affairs regardless OF Sec
tions, race, color or previous condition.
| think Coz. Hubbard would make II
fine member of the cabinet"
Mr., j, s. Witwer. manager for Texas
of the Studebaker Bros, of south Bend,
Indiana, said: ~ do not think Clevc-
lands election will produce
any material financial change or
affect to much extent the
commercial interest OF the country IL
may, to some degree, prove detrimental
to the south the first year of his admin
istration inasmuch as Immigration
from the north will be somewhat re-
tarded and northern capitalists Will be
slow in making investments until ms
line of policy is definitely defined. AS
to government officials, | believe that
"to the yictors be.ong the spells" but !
believe the changes he will make in
some of the more important Offices
will be gradual to prevent
any jar, as proficiency in SUI, snch o oilice os
the country at large. believe that with
n good cabinet he will make sale:
though not brilliant chief magistrate OF
the nation. am of the opinion that ms
good sense will dictate conservative
policy"
Mr.. j. b. Adoue, of the banking firm
of Adoue, Lobit ~ Co., said: 81 do not
anticipate that Mr.. Cleveland's election
S @tat u n@Se the financial affairs
of the country. The change OF
administration may for the time being
produce ripple upon the business sur
face. but feel satisfied there will be no
marked change in financial matters I'M
less for the better. | believe h" IS q
safe man, much preferable to Blaine.
Capt. Watt Caruth, one of the largest
and wealthiest farmers in the country,
said: 81 do not believe Cleyeland,s
election will injure the financial condi-
ton of the country. / think that after
matters settle down that money mat
tiers will be easier and the
country at large infinitely
benefited. His election will affect, in
my opinion, the present Office holders
more than anything else"
City National bank, said: 81 believe
his election will vastly improve the
financial condition of the country, as he
will place in circulation money T. at has
been boarded up for years in the United
States treasury, ana his work OF reform
will inspire the people with confidence,
that the whole country will be bene-
fitted. .sT.
National bank, said: 81 do
not think his election will produce any
material effect on the financial or conf
mercial affairs of Texas. The change OF
parties may for time make money
little scarce, but 1 believe that when
matters quiet down, that everything
will move along smoothly and for the
better The low shortage %segs being of pad
for grain will have more to do toward
making money scarce than the election
of Mr.. Cleveland. l look to him for q
pure, honest, vigorous administration,
and believe he will make up his cabinet
of the best material to be found. think
Texas is entitled to be represented in
the cabinet, and am of the opinion that
Hon. John III. Reagan would make a
good member. l look forward to pros
porous times under Cleveland's admin
istratiOn." ,=.--e-
Capt. S. j. Adams, of the banking
firm of Adams d Leonard, said: ~
think his election will prove financial
blessing to the country, especially TO the
south. His election Will tend to bring
the north and south closer together, 1t
will show to the world that the south is
conservative. l predict that will be his
policy. Money will, after matters quiet
down, be more plentiful and the coun-
try more prosperous and better teellnS
will be brought about between the two
sections under his administrations"
Mr.. S.W. S. Duncan,we'l versed in land
matters, says: !.
II think that it will cause an era of
prosperity in the south, and Texas
especially, that has not been known for
years, simply from the fact that always
heretofore, under Republican admin
istration, it has been the custom OF those
in power in all departments or the gov
eminent TO vilify and abuse the people
and the country to such an extent that
both capital and emigration was
driven away, in other words, sent 10
the northwestern states and territories.
1t is well known fact that OF an
the money that was sent to this
state to loan or make great
investments is of English aid Scotch
capital. Now under a conservative Dem
ocratic policy all this abuse of the south,
and especially of Texas, will in the next
four years cease, ana IN Inc Place VI 'ne
millions of acres of the fines lands on
the continent lying idle, an immigra-
ton OF honest yeomanry will fill up the
country to such an extent that Texas
will not only be the first in huge Demo-
cratic majorities, but will be known as
the greatest wheat, corn and cotton
growing region of the world.
Of course when these things occur,
will be easy to forecast for such a people
and for sucha country the future. Now,
YOU know money is in brisk demand at
Twelve per cent, but under the promise
of the Democratic administration that
they will turn loose the nearly $3.50 O00, O0O
