REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRATS.
What They Have to Say About the
Nominations.

CHICAGO, July 12th.-Your correspondent in
teryiewed large number of representative
Democrats last night. The following are a few
sample opinions:
Ex-senator Herman of New York said: You
have heard the New York Democracy. All fac
tons are now for Cleveland. He is strong in
New York and can carry it. If we can elect any
one that man is Grover Cleveland. l believe he
will be elected"
Senator Williams of Kentucky said: "He
ought TO run like a face-horse if all the New
Workers say of him is true. He will, of course,
carry the South
John r. Mclean, of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
said: =" | am gratited at the result. 1t is really
Il stronger nomination for Ohio than one of our
own candidates would have been. 1t brings
into harmonious action all the clements of the
party, and offers a splendid chance to carry the
State. Cleveland is winner"
Congressman Ermentrout, of Berks, Penn,
said: "CleyelandS forces were managed with
great skill The same forces must see that he is
elected. take it that his New York friends
knew what they were about when they said
that he could carry New York. If he does, he
is the next President"
Frank Hurd, of Ohio, said: a don't know
anything about the strength of Cleveland.
have been looking after the platform. assume
that he is all right"
Congressman Lamb, of Indiana, said: at is
u stronger nomination for our State than any
man except our Indianian. He is not weighted
with a record, and will run well. We will carry
Indiana for him."
Senator Jones of Florida said at is a good
| nomination, and we can elect this ticket il the
doubtful States do their duty
Ex-senator William A. Wallace says: "a good
days work. Cleveland is strong in the States
where the work is to be done He ought to and
will be elected, for he is good candidate and
will make good President"
Speaker Carlisle said that he regarded the
work of the day serious business for the Demo
cratS. To the press correspondent he said
" The result of our nomination depends entirely
upon what the Democrats of New York can do.
will be elected Mr. Cleveland personally is
very acceptable to me, and l shall do all in my
power TO elect him."
Ex-senator Davis of West Virginia said: "Thc
ticket will go through, but | would have pre-
ferred another. Still we must now give way
our preference and work forthe election of the
nominees"
Henry Watterson said: Cleveland was not
my choice but it was the judgment of the ma
jOrity that he should be nominated, and we will
do all in our power to elect him.
Representative Collins of Mississippi said: |
| am going TO Saratoga to take the waters for a
week, and at the end of that time may be able
to tell what think of the future of the ticket
Representative Budd of California said: My
preference was Thurman. Had he been nomi-
mated think we would have carried our State.
| am sorry that there was no emphatic anti
| monopoly plank in the platform. Such a one
as Butler presented would have helped u.s.
Ben Butler, when visited, refused to be inter-
viewed He said significantly that he did not
think it the proper time for him to talk. Those
who know Buffers purposes best declare that
he will do all in his power to beat the ticket.
The Convention refused to listen to his advice,
and in his speech Thursday night he avowed
that he did not come to Chicago as Il beggar,
but as the representative of more than 100000
workingmen. He did not ask for compliance
with his request. but he proudly demanded that
his claims should be adopted. Buffers opposi-
ton to the Democratic ticket may cost it hun
bred of thousands of votes.
Grady. John Kelly's alter ego also refused to be
interviewed. He thought the position of Tam
many was very well understood and he did not
care to express his views on the candidate John
Cochrane also declined to talk. Kelly could
not be seen.
