ion can be raised as to his ability and larg

them not going to the polls at all 1t seems
as though with Mr.. Cleveland, from New
York, and Mr.. Hendrickt, of Indiana, the
Democracy ought to elect their candidates.
REPUBLICANS.
Emil Manufacturer thought it was a good
nomination for Blaine to beat,
T. S. Walther claimed that it made little
difference who the Democrats nominated,
the Republicans would have to scratch hard
to beat him. With Cleveland he thought the
Democrats had a sure thing.
Herman Greve acknowledged that the
nomination was strong one.
E. G. Rogers believed the Democrats had
made good choice.
Commodore W. f. Davidson thought the
nomination of Cleveland insured Blaine's
success.
H. s. Fairchild thinks Cleveland cannot
carry New York, and that the Irish and labor
vote will go to Blaine, who he claimed had
certain victory.
j. G. Green thought the choice a wise one.
Gen. s. P Jennison said Cleveland had
done well as far as he had gone and had OPP
! portunity but thought Thurman had proved
a stronger candidate.
| Charles Kittleson, state treasurer, thought
! it weak nomination.
w. A. Nichols, deputy clerk of the supreme
court, does not look upon Cleveland as the
strongest man.
Judge W. T. Burr, municipal court, felt
that Cleveland is the easiest to beat of the
men named, and Thurman the haedest,
| A. r. McGiu, insurance commissioner,
thinks Cleveland the strongest man the
| Democrats could nominate
A. G. Foster claims the Republicans have
sure thing now, and that Cleveland will
find that he has more to fight than Kelly.
w. R. Merriam looks upon Cleveland as a
strong antagonist, man of fine ADMINISTERS
tive ability, with an excellent record and a
irst-class man in every way.
Judge Henry Hale said he did not take
any interest, there are ringsters in both par
ties. He asserted that he was now paying
special attention to his bible and prayer book
but if Villas was put on the ticket with Cleve-
land he would vote it.
II. W. Donaldson, of Kittson county, a
delegate to the state convention, says no
thinks Cleveland is too little known, but
that Hendricks adds great strength. He was
| about telling the story about the tails wag-
ging the dog when-it became late.
George 3. Clason said he had been a
Democrat for a long time, but he had changed
and he did not believe that the Democratic
party was wanted until every man white or
black had the same rights in the south as well
as in the north
AT the Metropolitan hotel the reporter met
DR.. w. T. Galloway, of Eau Clai re, Wis, a
Democrat who has for many years received
high honors from his ward, which is rad
cally Republican. He is enthusiastic in his
expressions of satisfaction with the ticket,
and says: "The Democratic party has got
beyond Kelly and old Butler" He feels that
the new ticket will sweep the country. He
does not hesitate to brand John Kelly as a
traitor At five conventions previous to this
he had been delegate, and he could have
been to this had not business interfered.
He relates that at Cincinnati he one
morning found John Kelly in his room
room alone, and that he had a long talk with
him. He asked Kelly what he demanded
!
wanted was to defeat Tilden for the nomina-
ton, as he had done him an injury. He
then and there pledged himself to aid in
every way to elect any other candidate, and
after conferences and labor Hancock was
nominated. Kelly returned to New York
and deliberately sold out He thinks he has
cause to brand such man as traitor and to
glory in his downfall. He does not fear such
a man.
PETTIGREw AND INGERsoLL.
Hon. R. F. .Pettgrew, Of Sioux Falls, D.
r., formerly delegate to congress from Da-
kota, is at the Metropolitan. When asked
last evening as to his opinion of the Demo
cratic nominations, he promptly responded
that "the Democrats had done one thing he
never expected of them-they had placed in
in no mination pure, honest, upright man,
Cleveland He believed that Hendricks adj
ded strength, and felt that the election
would be very close. When asked why he
did not hedge while there was still time, he
said he had learned his lesson young and he
did not propose to be a broken down politi-
clan left out in the cold when he became
fifty years Of age Mr. Pettigrew came from
VIC MUM III company NAtll lNbbOil IilStloOll
and asked him if he was intending to take
the stump for Blaine! ''That win depend, -
responded Mr.. Ingersoll, con who is nomi-
mated. If it is Mcdonald or one two others.
| shall have to. If it is Cleveland I shall
not.n So look out for Robert, who will uu-
successfully try to persuade you that there
is no heaven for Democracy.
OPINION or A NEW YORK REPUBLICAN.
Among the guests at the Metropolitan is
Mr.. j, c. Harvey, a prominent man Of Buff
falo, n. Y, and lifelong Republican, who
received the news of the nomination of Hon.
Grover Cleveland with the greatest satisfac-
ton He says Mr.. Cleveland is not an Office
seeker, and that the honors he has borne
have been forced upon him by those who
knew him and valued him at his true worth
Among those who come in contact with him
he is known as an honest, straightforward,
clean man, and man of brains. He is not a
willy politician, and cannot become one.
He is Independent in his opinions, always
on the side of right. the friend of the poor
as we'll as the rich, and as courte Gus and at
teutive to the one as the other. Every hon
est man will give him the highest reputation
aud none but unprincipled political enemies
can find anything to intimate against him.
and they cannot do it without prevarieating.
Cleveland has antagonized Kelly, because
he has shown that he could not be FUSED {"
There is no fear that the 'abor clement
will be arrayed against him as he is the
friend of the poor classes and
has the independence to cham

in the state viii more than make up al
possible loss which John Kelly NAV cause.
The young independent voters who might in

that GOV. Cleveland will have majority of at
